One of the funniest thing on telly for a while.

Absolutely pant-wettingly funny.

Assume you are watching the repeat on UK Gold ?

Second series available on DVD October.

Agree with Beach Hut, funniest thing around for a while, also the most original and cringeworthy. Everyone that seems to know a David Brent type character surely found it funny.

The dance he did in series two was class. Made me recoil in embarrassment yet laugh out loud. Brill.

I have the DVD too.

I literally wet myself everytime even though I must've watched it 4/5 times.

It's better than The Royle family & that's going some.

It's been over here on BBC America, and can't wait for the second series. Top entertainment, even the wife found it funny, and she thinks Will and Grace is the best.
I could watch it over and over, the sure sign of great comedy, as I could Fawlty Towers.
The look on the big fellas face in the break room when he's prattling on about watching repeats on tv and Tim says he just stayed in and had a big wank. :lolol:

I really can't stand the programme, something about it just REALLY annoys me, especially with ricky gervais.

The Office has so many class moments it's impossible to get bored. I remember it starting without any hoo-ha at all - my flatmate and I thought we'd give it a go out of curiosity, being tickled by the trailer of the Brent-meister "you, to me, viz a viz"...ha ha ha I'm smiling all over again.

Fave episode? The staff training day and the guitar. Genius.

How it climaxed with Brent pleading - very moving.

Great stuff.

The Office is brilliantly realised. It works because it makes you laugh, but at the same time makes you feel guilty for laughing - a superb trick if you can do it!!

:p

Oh yes the staff training day when Brent has to get the attention of the trainer during a role playing exersize...........

Brent: *shouts* "SOMONE'S BEEN RAPED!!!!!........."

The look on everone's faces is absolutely priceless.

(Apologies if anyone's offended)

And this scene has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV.

It makes me laugh becuase is so embarrasingly true. Anyone whos workied in an office can connect with it in one way or another.

Exactly, it makes me cringe watching it but its funny. The flash dance is now legendery, and the episode where Gareth has his phone in a holster is great.
Phone rings..
"Gareth Keenan"
"Cock"
Hangs-up.

My other fave bits are:

When Gareth and Tim are arguing s1 ep1
Gareth:"I can't hear you!"
Tim:"Well you won't hear this then!You're a cock you're a cock you're a cock!"

And

In the training episode when they do the fox,chicken and grain excecise and the instructor says the answer and Gareth goes"Some questions"
