TV/DVD Review: The Office (UK version)

[Soul Daddy]

Very nice review. Spot-on with much of the analysis. It really does take a few viewings to get comfortable watching, but it is so worth it.

But the best one of all IMHO is the one where David hijacks a staff training day by getting out his guitar and doing an impromptu gig (series 1, episode 4).

Is there anyone who doesn't think this is the best episode? It should be a universally accepted fact.

Actually, I'd forgotten this episode completely when it was raised here about a month ago [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Till I rewatched, the comic relief/dance one was my favourite. And my bad, episode 4 indeed.

And altogether now to all Office lovers:


Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....
She’s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine’s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by.... Bye bye

(Chorus)

Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone

A little while later, see a senorita,
She’s caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says ‘Por favor, can you pump me up?’
I say ‘Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye.’

(Chorus)

Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain't going home ‘cause my baby's gone.

Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
’Hey buddy, what can I do?’
He says ‘I lived a good life, had about a thousand women’
I said ‘Why the tears?’ he says ‘Cause none of them was you’

(Chorus)

Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone




(I propose this as the official OOT song)

"What room are you in?"
"362."
"There is no 362 in this building. Sometimes the complaints will be false."

Somehow, our regional HQ in Europe for Microsoft got Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to tape some internal videos for the company. They feature David Brent being hired as a consultant to Microsoft to discuss with the employees the importance of company values, and mission, etc. Awesomely funny stuff, if I can figure out how to host them somewhere, I'll post a link.

And to bison, the US show is worth watching, as it has become different than the UK show. Still very funny.

nolan, I heard about these a long time ago but have never seen them. I don't even think they have ever hit ebay.

Be careful.

no love for my main man Keith?


i can't find the exact wording, but his job evaluation scene w/ david brent is priceless.

[RandBriscoe]

I adore when Neil is distributing the cake he made for that ugly skank's birthday and David spitefully and pathetically chimes in with "I prefer a flan."

BBC and BBC Anerica actually have some very good clips.

Sounds a bit gay.

Keith's assessment is indeed a comedy classic slice of fried gold. I also like the brief scene where he tells Tim about the difference between men and women.
