- In a recent interview with the BBC, the comic actor was talking about The Office turning 20 and made a joke about the show being retroactively cancelled due to offensive jokes.
"I mean now it would be cancelled. I'm looking forward to when they pick out one thing and try to cancel it," he said. "Someone said they might try to cancel it one day, and I say, Good, let them cancel it. I've been paid!"

It’s the BBC that needs canceling.
And their threat letters. Amazing how they get away with threatening legal action on anyone who doesn't give money to them.
Vote reform to remove the BBC license fee
@@LiterallyMark1 and then have to switch to other providers who charge far more than the license fee......thanks a lot !
@@malcolmstockbridge2569 no it would be free… the only other change is that the BBC would have to run ads like every other channel EVER
@@LiterallyMark1 Sadly its not quite that simple, the outlets available to advertisers is at an all time high already and the revenues dropped like a rock since CZcams and other media. The gains to the BBC wouldnt go anywhere whats needed to produce what they do. Also...more advertising has a hidden cost.....when an advertiser uses media to advertise who do you think pays for it ?....you and I as costs for products increase to pay for that advertising spot. Nothing is free in this world.
Cancel the BBC I haven't watched it since week 1 of covid.... Best thing I've ever done
Is that really the best thing you've ever done?
Someone's missing mask mandates@@markgregory7140
Well I once saw Timmy Mallet on the bus in 1991 that comes close 😂
@@bigjohn1717 🤣🤣🤣
Have you watched Derek and Afterlife, these are also very good.
I had a knob of a manager called Vince at the time I accidentally stumbled across The Office, I thought it was real 🤦🏽
I thought it was a documentary and therefore not funny.
BBC should be cancelled
It is on my telly
Haha - totally agree 😂
Grow up
What are we talking about… get serious. This is a fabulous show and please don’t confuse it with real life. Ricky is a genius.
Easy enough.
Ricky is brilliant, funny, and legendary. When he said "It comes down to people recognizing things in people." All I could think of was, "That's what she said." ROFL. Great stufff. thank you for this. Ricky should be your prime minister!
My hairdresser’s husband went for a job with the Post Office. The bloke training them turned up in a tight shirt and no tie. He was obviously a gym fanatic and couldn’t do the last few buttons up. He then looked to all the females in the room and said “Don’t be looking at this ladies” pointing to his exposed chest “It’s this you should be concentrating on” circling his face. As she recounted the story David Brent popped into my head.
I wish the "Woke" would get cancelled.
very clever
explain wokw
@@billlynn8256what’s the point in us explaining it when you can’t even spell it?!!!!!!

i can't - cos I don't know what "wokw" is.

They still go by BBC, that sound to racist for 2024
It's not an insult though, is it? It's a compliment if anything.
@@guybrushthreepwood2380Not for a corporation!

Cancel the bbc
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
the bbc proving that the bbc should go ,asap.
Thank you Ricky for making my days better. Don't ever stop doing what you do.
I'm still watching it now. I love it to this day. I brought it on dvd, video, on Prime, and even had it on those little playstation portable discs so I could watch it while I was on the move all the time in the Army.
gratz on 20 years of that masterpiece!
watched versions from both sides of the pond.
cant pick a fave TBH because i guess i get both versions of the humor though the local and colloquial stuff from the UK prob misses me.
BBC is a real kick in the stomach for good hard-working taxpayers
Thank goodness there are enough of us out there that loved shows like this and are sharing it and the ideas we have from people like Ricky with our children so they don’t grow up to be utter twats!
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
And BBC directors pose as Question Time audience members and we are all supposed to be alright with this. It's a joke
Well it’s actually funny so it wouldn’t get made in the first place.
That makes NO sense whatsoever.
That’s true.
We can’t have anything remotely funny like the Office.
NO laughing please , we’re the BBC.
@@14caz68 There's LOADSA funny on TV, and most of it comes from BBC. The last decent thing on ITV was Rising Damp.
@@tynebar you don’t seem to realise comedy is subjective. Just because you find something funny doesn’t mean other people do.
@@tynebar 1970s !!! Even that wouldn’t be (re)made now.
I worked in Slough in the early 90's, as a backpacker Aussie. Dank, desperate place, but good cheese and onion pasties
I too as an Aussie worked in London, great sense of humour the English possess.
Did you go down chasers?
you worked as a backpacker Aussie??? What did that involve?
I wish the"cancelled "would get woke.Same up.
Thank You Ricky Gervais.... ❤
Right. So he clearly says the Office would NOT be cancelled today.
I know, yet most of the comments seem to be from people who didn’t even watch the video and are just responding to the clickbait title.
I worked in an office with at least 3 of those pathetic characters that were driving me fcking mental and yes…..in slough trading estate!!
UsA Office not funny at all. Gervais Office is best comedy EVER!!! And also Extras. No one does comedy better.
True
UK comedy has it's own cultural way of deliverance of comedy. I'm an Asian, seen both. But when USA tries UK comedy the same way it doesn't work. Look at Inbetweeners, a brilliant teenage comedy remade by USA, turned in to a turd. Copying comedy with culture doesn't work
There's an interview with Gervais and Steve Merchant (why does he seem to be written out of the picture) where they state what they DIDN'T want the office to be. This is exactly what the American Office is.
It would be the same if English TV tried to do Two and a half Men. It just wouldn't work. It's down to the actors as well 😂😂
@@carolinejohnson22 Agree 100 per cent.
American comedy is great, and we don't do it well. And they don't do our comedy well.
Check out their attempts at Red Dwarf.
Truly awful.
I disagree, I love them both, different reasons but I love them both.
Of course it wouldn't be cancelled now. It's literally still available on BBC iPlayer. Anyone who claims this or the American version couldn't be made these days clearly didn't get the joke. That being the bosses have no self awareness, are often completely inappropriate and are basically useless (but ultimately likable) clowns. The shows aren't endorsing the views of the bosses.
After watching the office, I couldn’t face
the American office.
My son said give it a go, so I watched a couple of episodes.
Brilliant!
The funniest scene I’ve ever seen anywhere on any show
or film, was in the American office!
No
I was the same. Avoided it for years then finally started watching it last year. I stopped when Carell left though.
Wow, did Ricky write it by himself? I really thought it was co-written. Well, there ya go!
RIP Ewen.
Wonder if the BBC would cancel "It ain't half half hot mum"?
Sadly that wouldn’t even get on the screen today. BBC are so WOKE it is cringe worthy.
Vote for Britain Vote REFORM ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Don't worry I am
@@pen2199 ❤️
The BBC is now run by the Tories, with many former Tory MPs and advisers in senior roles ( Tim Davie, Robbie Gibb for example).
Now you know what they're using your tv licence fee for.
When it comes to the BBC, which matters more. Who's sitting in the head office, or who's at the coal face addressing the public (I'm including people like Jess Brammar - BBC executive news editor since 2021 - in the latter category, as they act as gatekeepers for those on the screen facing the viewer)
His point about being it too sad to see Brent is exactly why the movie shouldn’t have been made.
The film was absolutely shit
Agree and the film was shocking.
He was saying this for years before that godforsaken film was released, but he just had to sell out
My poor late wife didn't "get" The Office for several episodes. She thought it was a real documentary, and not even slightly funny. But when she finally got it, she was such a huge fan. Laughing until she cried,
I’d actually love someone like Brent as a boss. He’s actually very fair and there’s never anything bullying or malicious about him. He’s desperate for friends and would always go for a drink with staff. Many managers are nasty bullies who have an army of arse kissers around them. They target people they don’t like, socially isolate them and manage them out. Ironically, they are usually the most vocal about being “woke”. Brent, despite being cringe and incompetent wasn’t capable of behaving like that.
Lol does anyone think that is progress?....I mean antons a lovely bloke.....
For the love of Jebus, never make another show about Brent. 12 episodes and a Christmas special. Perfic! And a film, yeah?
The law of diminishing returns, init.
Now a spin off about Pete Gibbons is another thing. Sounds like a fun bloke.
I quit the BBC four years ago & it's been much better for my mental health.
Just as well we don't have Alf Garnet any more 😂
Only one think need cancelling and that's the BBC licence fee.
The BBC needs cancelling, period.
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
I don't remember the last time Ricky mentioned Steve by name...
Thank you BBC for giving us " The Office" and "Monty Python". As a Scotsman I loved the python piss takes of scots and welsh and irish and black people and arabs and french and german and english etc etc. Humour cant be racist if it doesnt discriminate
I've cancelled the BBC. Absolute cringe!
Why doesn't Ricky call everyone a mong anymore? It was great when he called everyone a mong. Then the woke brigade had a go at him for it. Now he's scared to call anyone a mong, when he used to call everyone a mong. Political correctness gone mad. And Derek was funny, when he played a spastic. And that bit in the After Life when the dog knew that the character, Ricky Gervais, was going to commit suicide and the dog made an intervention, saving Ricky Gervais' life. Now that is what I call writing.
Why can't Brent's album "Life on the Road" have been a surprise hit - which I believe it was in real life - and a happier, vindicated Brent is living off the profits.
So pretty much on par with what we’ve grown to expect from BBC journalists, then.

While there are people like that there should be comedy that makes fun of it
I couldn't watch the office. Every time his character came on the screen I wanted to put my foot through the telly.
Sound comedian and ruthless with it. He should speak up some more.
Nothing the bbc made would ever get made now
David Brent is so funny because the character is self-important, thinking he's funny and wise, when all he is , is a branch manger of a paper company. David Brent reminds me of the character Tony Hancock played. Thinks he's somebody when he's not.
By the time they are finished be pointless owning a tv because it will be full of crap
The Bolshevik Bastards Corporation were perfectly fine to milk it before though.
... because it fits in the bread bin or because it doesn't fit in the bread bin? *bites scotch egg*
It’s the BBC that needs cancelling. Not The Office which is still brilliant today.

David Brent prancincing around at 60 o hell no we dont need that.
Mainly because we have got the real Ricky Gervais for that.
Pure genius!
The Office wouldn't get made today, and the jokes wouldn't really work.
Just listen to the jokes in After Life if you need proof.
I had the full box set it was taken when in a burglary 😢 comedy gold
All episodes available on iPlayer.
Yet it would apparently be ‘cancelled now’ according to half these comments! 😂
If it wasn't for Ricky's deal with Netflix and his large fan base, he would have been cancelled a long time ago. He doesn't play by the woke rules and says whatever he wants
And so the world would have missed out on a great tv series. Just to save the feelings of a few tender souls who would no doubt have suffered life long trauma had they watched it.
Must ensure those modern audiences are catered for.

@@deanlowdon8381 - sure did. Thanks for your input.
@@mitchellkitts6444 So you know that no one said The Office would be cancelled these days then?
British sense of Humour cancelled by the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation,come on you wonderful BRITS have the nouse to cancel their TAX 👍👍👍❤️
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
Even the audio comes from the left
people with no real life experience saying how people should act is getting boring
I'm still trying to work out the title of this video
I reckon David Brent relaxed and contemplative on his allotment at 60 would be…………
The best comedy ever for me. 😍
How about being my carer.. 😂 Avascular Necrosis, M.S & Now I can't eat for the last 7-10 months.. Hospital again Thursday. Still keep laughing. (Maybe madness)
Oh i have PTSD & Have pulled 18 of my own teeth out.. I'm an unconventional Tramp, whom drives a 4.2 XK Which is iin the garage & Lives in the British Countryside. Last 16 years have been hell.
I'm not a camera looker..
No chance, it would never get made now. Was watching one foot in the grave last night. Also no chance!!
Really it would have some success, plenty boomers would enjoy it, and anyone younger would be like “this is just another crap remake of The Office” and looked for something new
I cancelled bbc licence a long time ago
oh jesus . Not Gervais still banging ona bout being cancelled - how tedious . He's last 2 Netflix specials have only been about that . Without irony
This clip isn't new, it's recycled.
The Office is still being shown on BBC and I've never found anything unacceptable in it,. Just people shouting "Woke" at passing clouds. Pillocks.
Time they cancelled Footage of the depravity that is pride
The Office!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My subscription to YT works out about the same as the BBC license - I know which one I would cancel (hint - not YT)
And that's another reason I don't watch the BBC.
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
Did any of you actually pay attention before replying?
Well yeah obviously.
BBC 2024 would not make, allow The Office to be made, shown as it was then.
Tried to watch the Office a couple of times and it wasn’t for me or do i find Ricky’s standup funny. What i do like is when he is debating on stuff like science and religion and you get his observational point in a humorous and jocular way.
Cannot see him ever working for the BBC again, doubt he would want too due to their left wing woke bias and doubt they would want him due to that bias though he is far from being Far Right.
Probably the greatest show ever
He's right satire is dead
Cant even show Only Fools and Horses anymore
It’s literally repeated on UK Gold on a frequent basis, a channel owned by the BBC.
@@mofomat Yes has is Dads Army and Are You being Served and a few more and warning giving before start show 😂
Genius Actually🫡❤
If the Office would be cancelled now, explain why it hasn't been cancelled now
Doubt it you can't cancel people who don't conform to your BS and Ricky is definitely one guy who doesn't lol six years ago I got attacked and threatened to lose my job by morons online and I'm the ceo I can't be fired lol and they said my next game wouldn't be successful and I launched at 120k units for a video game that had a budget of £4,600 so :/ I think his show would actually have been bigger these days as this is the era for TV
Did you watch the video or just comment based on the clickbait title?
Only fools and horses next
To befare all show's would be. different time but love the office wouldn't change a thing
Why was it blurred?
Because someone might get upset and it would affect their mental health
Communists and Marxists always considered comedy, art, religion and the nuclear family and many other things we know and love to be subversive.
Says who 🙃
Hi folks,
Is this, here, Rickys own account or is this a fanpage?
Thx 🙏👍🍻🕊🇩🇪🌻
Wouldn’t be cancelled because the character of David Brent is not sympathetic, Gervais is just stirring it. The BBC is amazing, has been very daring over the years and without it we would be left with middle of the road, click bait dross
One of my favourite ever programs. Who cares what the BBC says. I don’t.

Yeah, We've enough home grown problems, aka, the disableds.
Reporting on hypothetical questions? No wonder society is trapped in past and cannot let things go, who cares, it was made yrs ago and is a tv programme, grow up BBC! Prats
The BBC is too woked look I've got every single episode of the goodies on the DVD yes every single episode 70 times over
STOP SAYING “I” and START SAYING “WE”
BBC not fit for purpose
