Gareth and Tim talking about people with disabilities making benefit claims...

Gareth - “I’m just saying there should be tests.”
Tim - “We’re all ears Gareth.”
Gareth - “Well I don’t know, when they go down the DSS to make a claim then they should set off a fake fire alarm, everybody legs it out the office leaving them there. If they’re fake they’ll be up and running with them, if they’re real they’ll be left there screaming for help.”

TIM: "Gareth, are all these going to be about wars?"
GARETH: "No, I've got loads...I've got one on tennis and one on the Suez canal. Loads."
Question 3. Which canal links the Mediterranean with the Red Sea?"

Tim: I don't know where we're going tonight. Obviously Finchy's a sophisticated guy, and Gareth's a culture vulture, so you know will it be opera, ballet? I don't know. I know the RSC's in town, so er... having said that at Chasers, it's Hooch for a pound and Wonderbras-get-in-free night tonight. So I don't know, I don't know who'll win, it's exciting. I'm staying out of it.

I love how Brent points out the monkey to any new employees. And then in the Xmas special looks at the replacement with disdain. Class.

"The Office": comedy or documentary?

David: "Look whether or not Anton is indeed a midget, or a dwarf-"
Alex: "No he’s a midget"
David: "What’s the difference?"
Alex: "A dwarf is someone who has disproportionately short arms and legs"
David: "Oh I know the ones"
Alex: "It’s caused by a hormone deficiency"
David: "Yeah… bloody hormones"
Alex: "A midget is still a dwarf but their arms and legs are in proportion"
Gareth: "So... what’s an elf?"

Got Operation Good Guys through the door yesterday.

The Office is a complete knockoff. OGG does it just as well and it came 1st.

The scene from series one with the New York Copper Lou 'Frisk Em' Ferrino.

"You must never open this bag of $500000 as it has an aluminum dye that will go off once it opens. We are going to use it to get Smiler McCarthy who wants this money to buy £20 000 000"
"Counterfeit?"
"Yes Counterfeit!!"

cut to D I Beach's office

"Don't worry these guys are the elite, the best we have, they will be totally professional and we will get Smiler just watch these gu......"

BANG Silver dye just splatters the window

Cut to the Commisioners nephew Mark giving an interview with silver covering his face

"I just wanted to look in the bag"
"Why?"
"I have never seen $500000 before I just wanted to know what it looked like"

Operation Good Guys was class

The Christmas Special one when they had to use impounded cocaine as snow on the set was so funny I nearly ended myself.

Haha, isn't that the episode where Bones blows the money on an operation to get his tadger enlarged?

Kecks-wettingly funny, but not as good as The Office. The canned laughter spoils it a bit.

There is no canned laughter on Operation Good Guys. At least not the 1st series

Best line in the Christmas Specials was when he was on the first blind date and he is talking about how men are attracted to cleavage because it reminds them of a woman's arse due to the fact that as cave dwellers that was how we had sex and

Tim: "Team Leader don't mean anything mate"
Gareth: "Excuse me, it means I'm leader of a team"
Tim: "No it doesn't. It's a title someone's given you to get you to do something they don't want to do for free - it's like making the div kid at school milk monitor. No one respects it"
Gareth: "Er I think they do"
Tim: "No they don't Gareth"
Gareth: "Er yes they do, cos if people were rude to me then I used to give them their milk last... so it was warm."

Gareth: "My dad, for example, he's not as cosmopolitan or as educated as me and it can be embarrasing you know. He doesn't understand all the new trendy words - like he'll say 'poofs' instead of 'gays', 'birds' instead of 'women', 'darkies' instead of 'coloureds'."

Tim: "You got good buttocks Gareth?"
Gareth: "Yes"
Tim: "Can we see them?"
Gareth: "No - gay"

David: "I’m going to have to let you go first"
Dawn: "What? Why?"
David: "Why? Stealing. Thieving."
Dawn: "Thieving? What am I meant to have stolen?"
David: "Post-It notes."

Simon the Computer Guy: You know Bruce Lee's not really dead, don't you? Yeah, it's in a book. What he did was he faked his own death so that he could work undercover for the Hong Kong police, inflitrating drugs gangs and the Triads.
Gareth: Yeah, I reckon that's true.
Tim: Yeah, I reckon that's true. Because if you were gonna send someone undercover to investigate the Triads, you'd probably want the world's most famous Chinese film star.

Tim: "Gareth, are you still in the TAs?"
Gareth: "Yes."
Tim: "What rank are you?"
Gareth: "Lieutenant."
Tim: "Are you? Because I was thinking, if you ever take an enemy soldier prisoner, right, would you have to search him?"
Gareth: "Yeah, it's possible. Yes."
Tim: "Right, so let's just say you've taken him prisoner, you're doing a full body search, you find something hard, you can feel it, you know what it is. Do you just say to him, 'I know you've got a big weapon, give it to me now'?"

Another highlight from a great series is the cameo from the IT fella (played by Matthew Holness of Garth Marenghi* fame). Tim's face when the IT nerd is talking to Gareth about Bruce Lee is classic.

(*for any Garth Marenghi's Darkplace fans, a follow-up called 'Man to Man with Dean Learner' is listed as being in production on imdb)
