I never really got into "The Office"
I just didn't think it was that funny. I thought it was over-rated.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.
It has turned bosses into 'ironic' versions of Brent. "I don't mean to sound like David Brent but..." is heard at least every four fucking minutes at my work.
And if it's not that, it's "which person from 'The Office' are you?"
Gervais' live shows on DVD are what you want...

[MD] So how's the American remake of The Office going?
[RG] We're not really involved.
[MD] Word is the pilot didn't go down to well and it may have stalled the project.
[RG] I think it got the lowest score on the focus group for NBC, which is a bit of a coincidence really because so did the English version here for BBC2. We got the lowest focus group score ever, joint bottom with women's bowls. But the BBC said, fuck it put it out anyway. So NBC have bought six anyway and it's going out next January or February I think, and again they want me to go out there to launch that for them. I could probably tour for the next three years just doing bits and pieces for The Office.
[MD] Even though you have nothing to do with the remake.
[RG] Exactly! I'd be like George Lucas just protecting my assets. And then do Office IV with David Brent vs. Jar Jar Binks. I mean there are very exciting things happening from it, but I could have been in seven movies this year but then I'd be in a Winnebego for six weeks at a time just to pop up in film. Whereas when I'm in England I'm writing Extras, which is what I do, I'm a writer director, I don't want to go around waving.
