Yes..guys like the Simon character always seem to have a knack for homing in on weak/sensitive points and exploiting them. If you are going to take the piss out of someone like 'Simon' then you'd better be prepared with robust defences.
Yeah, it's a stereotypical trait, but they do love to hold all the information, revel in the fact that they're the only ones with it, reluctantly dish it out in the smallest chunks possible, and always be right. I once had an IT guy tell me 'RTFM' rather than just give me the answer quickly, but even when I played the game of massaging his ego it took several more e-mails back-and-forth and two days had elapsed before he actually told me what to do. That kind of behaviour is par for the course I reckon, the power mad bull$hitters!
+Fernando Hernandez It is suggested throughout the series that Tim has feelings for Dawn (the engaged receptionist whom also appears to have feelings for him). Saying this to Tim in front of his new kinda-girlfriend would be embarrassing to say the least and damaging at the most.
And that is usually where I come in, and get completely pissed off with both of them and start losing my shit and arguing with both of them about all of their stupid crap. And once that box has been opened it stays open until one of us no longer works there. Days, weeks and months of arguing follows, with me feeling like I'm the only sane person left on earth.
The bit where Gareth proudly points to his go karting certificate he’s actually put up at work as some kind of achievement. The writing of this show is truly some of the best ever created.
Also the fact that Gareth asks if he’s had a go at speedway, and Simon asks “have you” so that Simon can than gauge how much he can get away with. Brilliant
What I like about this scene is how for once, Tim, the usually quick witted wind up merchant, is on the receiving end of a brutal putdown and doesn't know how to retort, instead just going on the defensive. And the IT guy says no more after his remark about Dawn because he knows he's got him, by simply saying five words nonchalantly. Brilliantly done and it shows that even a seemingly well liked guy such as Tim can occasionally be embarrassed with ease.
@spenser9908 They were the perfect mix. Hello Ladies is good but there's something not quite right. After Life is cringe, but not in the good way we expect. Their collaborations were where the magic happened.
It's also awkward because Tim doesn't like to admit that he was interested in Dawn because she goes out with one of the warehouse workers who could easily beat Tim's ass, and because it makes him look weak, pining after somebody else's girl.
@@laminage how did he know ? Cus Tim flirts with Dawn all the time, the others would gossip about it and he may have watched series 1 where Tim asked Dawn out on tv.
Agree that this is the most unnervingly accurate physical and verbal depiction of the typical office IT guy, right down to the Jack Daniels T-shirt and waistcoat. It was the finest piece of guest casting in the entire series of The Office. The guy should've won a BAFTA or whatever UK TV award for Best Cameo or Guest Perfomance.
There’s no other character Gareth looks up to in such awe as he does to Simon. And you can tell he believes every word that Simon tells him. It’s brilliant.
As an I.T. guy myself, one should remember that this scene is simply unrealistic and wrong. One would never hit "cancel" upon the installation of a firewall being completed since that would negate the entire process. The installation would necessitate a secondary routine in MSDOS which would simply demand an affirmative response from the user by offering no counter-options but simply the presentation of a message telling the user the DOS routine had reached a successful climax. The writers clearly weren't professionals.
I did this in high school in conversation and waited to see how long it took people to call me out, ask me what book, or catch on that i was pulling their leg
This scene is the tragic hero theme of the whole script in microcosm. It would have been so easy for the scene to end with Tim on top, being the funny guy. The genius is how jarring the put-down is, how it reminds you everyone's imperfect.
@@Myndir Yes, I'm also grateful that there aren't countless people praising that show and even claiming it's as good as or better than the original. That would really suck.
