    the uk office was a masterpiece in originality. the american office is just a comedy

      Also "grim realism" vs "childish implausibility". Both have their merits comedically, but both also reveal something of the outlook and sensibilities of the two cultures/peoples.

    You've got 12 episodes left, not 10. You can't watch Series 1 and 2 and not see the ultimate conclusion in the two part Christmas special! 👍

    Milligan, he said. Spike Milligan, British comedy god, who inspired Monty Python and pioneered surreal comedy. Also mentioned (Kenny) Everett, a madcap comedy dj/presenter. And (John) Cleese (Monty Python of course) and someone nobody would add to that group, (John) Sessions, a hugely talented actor/performer (RIP) but one who never reached the same heights of fame as the rest due to coming across as a bit of a know-it-all (he did). To me the funniest part of that scene is when he tries to cite three philosophers and can only think of two.

      Read a lot of Milligan books.but there was a book about BBC history of comedy when the goons 1st got together & Milligan in small office space seemed unbearable for the others.but in between drinks he would write all day.Spencer & Daniel have done Dave allen,so hopefully Milligan will be on their ever increasing list.was trying to get someone to react to yellowbeard which I hadn't seen since I was a kid.didn't realise he was in it,as was Madeleine khan!amongst most of the pythons were a host of great English actors & comedians

    BRENT ISNT A DOUCHEBAG. THE DOCUMENTARY STITCHED HIM UP. HE WAS ACTUALLY VERY FUNNY, POPULAR AND COMPETENT. THEY EDITED THE WHOLE THING TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD.

    • @larky368
      @larky368 Před 18 dny +1

      So when Brent slagged Neil in front of everybody and got chewed out in private and he immediately told his staff that Neil was slagging all of them was that a stitch up by the BBC?
      How about when he had already made up his mind to hire the woman as his secretary because he wanted to screw her? Was that a stitch up? Did the BBC tell him to spread his legs in front of her and try to kiss her hand?
      Was his joke about all the employees getting up the crack of Dawn funny or did the BBC edit it out of context?
      You missed the entire character arc of David Brent. He desperately needed to be liked. He sincerely thought he was funny enough to be a successful comedian. He constantly made fun of others but always over reacted when he was the butt of the joke.

    I think Brent’s incompetence is exacerbated by him showing off for the cameras. While he was probably never as great as he thought, there are hints that before they came, he at least mostly managed to do his job.

      And they have experienced a very small bit of Spike Milligan in Monty Python's Life of Brian, he played the follower who was left on his own giving a small speech when all the others took their shoe off and chased after Brian. And if they haven't seen the 1973 movie The Three Musketeers (sacrilege if they haven't) he plays Raquel Welch's husband and d'Artagnan's landlord. That should be US centric for them as they wouldn't have seen his TV shows.

      I like the way most British shows do it..never drag things on just for the money. It doesn't get stale every episode is fantastic plus it freed them up to do Extras, Life's too short, Dreak and everything else. The US one was great but the later episodes were rubbish.
