As someone who's worked in both office and warehouse environments, I've got to say their portrayal of warehouse workers is pretty snobby. Yes, there's lots of banter which may not always be as restrained or as PC as an office environment but it's a lot more interesting and nuanced than shows like this would have you believe.
I would probably agree. The idea that anyone could talk to another colleague (let alone a senior manager) in the way that Glynn guy talked to Jenny and get away with it is a stretch for me.
The fact that they brought JTC back for the Christmas special, but just had her stand in the background at the party, asking who bought Gareth an Action man.
@@daidavies90 Jennifer Taylor-Clarke. Rewatched the specials last week and almost didn't recognise her at the party. The fact she was an important character, despite not being seen that much, to bring her back just to stand in the background seemed strange or great attention to detail, depending on which way you look at it.
Abso-freaking-lutely, mate!! Good ol' Pilko & the abundance of the "badness" & the "goodness" of which he regularly speaks re: "stuff in the world"...but he's "not having a go" or "knocking it or anything, you know."..?!
Some of the best scenes in the show. Gervais is one of the biggest one hit wonders I've ever seen though. Extras was decent, but a lot of what he's made has been utterly atrocious.
@@eightiesboy Nah, not to me. Gervais went for an unbearably mawkish tone for everything after Extras. Plus I think Merchant was the slicker comedic writer.
No he isn't. Plenty of charities supporting English kids then and now, but people who complain about that shit dont actually want to do anything to help any children, they just think it is an acceptable veil for their racism to prop it behind some false idea that they give a fuck about anyone but themselves. It is a charity donation not government spending. There is a discussion to be had around foreign aid, but objecting to charities supporting children in need wherever they are? That is just the behavior of a class A fuckwit.
I used to like the office but now it just seems so contrived. No-one actually behaves like that in real life. I can feel myself being manipulated watching it. Same with that show where he played the 'special' guy in an old people's home. I felt like he was trying too hard to make us cry. Ricky Gervais may have 'owned' the shitlibs at the Golden Globes but there's a lot of tacit approval of Yiddish feminism and PC garbage in his work. Look at 'Equality Street'. In that, he's basically making light of white genocide. It's not funny.
@jonathanbirch2022 White genocide is obviously happening. The white race is disappearing through replacement migration, demoralisation and declining birthrates. It is irrefutably happening. It's not an accident.
Lee was always portrayed as some kind of bad guy same as Roy in the US version. In both shows there is clearly and obviously a guy working with their girlfriend who is simping, pretending to be all buddy buddy and waiting to pounce on her. Any man would step in and have a word.
I support Monkey Alan and the rest of the workers having the advantage over the soulless penny-pinching corporate snakes. They should fear the workers, not the other way round.
Back in the late 70s I worked at Becker's Milk Company in Toronto as a student. One of the full time guys told me this story. Four Greek guys thought it would be funny? to hand in they're resignation papers to the Canadian Shipper during the busiest time of the summer. All $ and giggles right? so, they go for a break, have a smoke, laugh it off and then return to ask him for the papers back. It was a joke mate? Problem was? the Canadian Shipper had already sent them to the Manager. Okay no problem? Manager is a Greek guy like them. BUT the Greek Manager was off that day, and the new Canadian Manager was the boss. Now they get worried as two of the funny guys where retiring in a few months after 25 years. In the end? the Canadian Manager refused to give them the papers back, thanked them for they're service and had them escorted off the property. Two guys were actually begging on they're knees knowing the wives would kill them. In the end, no pensions, and the Canadian Manager saved the Company $$$$ True Story
You'd be next, "Gazza" likes em posh. Gazza - Subject noun (Name of his friend, often used as a nick name for someone called 'Gareth' em - Third person pronoun. colloquial pronunciation of 'them' with 'th' omitted.

Therefore, you would be the next woman to engage in sexual interaction with Gareth, because Gareth likes posh women.
