Any fans?

“Gareth, quick test exercise, ultimate fantasy?”
“hmm?”
“We’re just doing the ultimate fantasy, we’re all doing it.”
“Two lesbians probably, sisters. I’m just watching.”
“oh, um, Tim? Do you have one?”
“I’d never thought I’d have to say this, but can I hear more from Gareth please?”

Absolutly love it...

“I watched that Peak Practice.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen it.”
“Bloody repeat.”
“Annoying innit?”
“Not for me, I hadn't seen it.”

I was very late getting into the office , I've got the dvds now but for some reason I hadn't seen all of that 1 last night, so it made my night.
( it was the 1 were he comes in wearing a new leather jacket and cuban heels ).
It can still make me cringe and laugh in equal measure.

I know someone who can't watch it as she can't stand the cringe/embarrassment factor.

Anyone seen the american version ? I don't think it's available on DVD yet?

“He’s thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?”

“What are you thinking Gareth?”
“I was just wondering whether will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark.”

Yeah, it's ok, except the guys that play the David and Gareth characters aren't as good (the people playing Dawn and Tim characters are spot-on). The scripts seem to be much the same, which really begs the question: why the fuck did they bother remaking it?

bellinter · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2006, 05:54:12 pm »

American one will always suffer, because anything the Brent character says thats even remotely funny, you cant help but think that it would have been funnier had gervais said it

Love the Office.

“Neil make me laugh though, because, you know, it’s his interfering, it’s his timing. Going on about he wants some report doing-it’s red nose day, you know. Ooh, what’s more important, you Neil, with your report, or some starving children? Ooh I don't know. Ooh what would Lenny Henry say? I think we know-imagine him going out of the door on comic relief day and Dawn French is going ‘Where you going, you haven’t done the washing up. You haven’t put the rubbish out.’ ‘Do it yourself I’ve gotta save some Africans!’.”

One of my fave quotes during the cheesy Peter Purvis training vid scene:

"In fact, a postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to accept that as currency"

Walton_Gary · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:34:20 pm »

That episode were the trainer is in still has me in bits and ive seen it about 30 times

“Gareth, quick test exercise, ultimate fantasy?”
“hmm?”
“We’re just doing the ultimate fantasy, we’re all doing it.”
“Two lesbians probably, sisters. I’m just watching.”
“oh, um, Tim? Do you have one?”
“I’d never thought I’d have to say this, but can I hear more from Gareth please?”

But me favourite clip is when Gareth gets chatted up by that byker and you see him in that motorbike thing with that helmet on

I've have a renewed appreciation for it now that my boss reminds me of Brent. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or walk out.

Tim: We were wondering if a military man like you, a soldier, er, could you give a man a lethal blow?
Gareth: If I was forced to, I could. If it was absolutely necessary, if he was attacking me.
Tim: What if he was coming, really hard?
Gareth: Yeah, if my life was in danger, yeah.
Dawn: And do you always imagine doing it face to face with a bloke, or could you take a man from behind?
Gareth: Either ways easy.
Dawn: So you could take a man from behind?
Gareth: Yeah.
Dawn: Lovely.

Class comedy the office is probarly my personal favorite, was class where they went on a works night out and lost the quiz so bet the other fella he could trow Gareth's trainee over the pub lol

Haha that's a brilliant scene!

Word of advice...in America they don't call it a bum bag, they call it a fanny pack. Cos in America fanny means your bum...not your minge
