The Making of Equality Street

David Brent is one of the greatest comedy characters, he just cracks me up

Such genius. He captures a cringe worthy persona so perfectly.

This is freakin' hilarious!!! I love Ricky's laugh... and I honestly don't know how they get anything accomplished... I'd be laughing all the time on every take. Brilliant!!!

Wonder how many retakes they have to do in total because of Ricky bursting into laughter.

It was this trail blazing record that inspired me to become a better man. I tore up my KKK membership card and never looked back. It was a game changer! Still have a bit of fear and distrust of midgets but Rome wasn't built in a day. Peace 'Yawl'.

I couldn't tell if Ricky was in character or not at first. Says a lot about the relation between Ricky and David Brent.

Ricky, such a welcomed thing having Brent back - thanks so much and please keep them coming. The inner nerd in me was sort of hoping that he had hooked up with the date from the Christmas Party 10 years ago, she was perfect for him. Not a lot has been exposed about where he is now on the lady front, but by looks - he is still alone :)

I love this video and you gotta love his passion for comedy he is always in the zone !

When Brent turns around to see the "Kenyan guy with mental eyes" it just kills me :D

Ricky's a good actor and director, tho sometimes he confuses me if he's in character or he's just Ricky...brilliant!

A master of all things funny!

One of my FAVOURITE David Brent songs I blast it in the car like everyday

Pure comedy genius and really a good song by the way!

It's great how Ricky manages to keep in character during the making of.

Oh my days i am crying after seeing the making of the video. Absolute pure class just as i stopped laughing when i thought the vid was ending Brent jumped out infront of the other guy at the start of the music video and i burst out laughing again lol

I loved equality street! didn't think he could do better. I actually thought the tune and lyrics were brilliant - didnt think I would.
Aw Derek is now my favourite show, mesmerising :)

love it when the "making of" is longer than the actual thing

I love watching Ricky laugh

I love how this captures all these people who are so blatantly racist in showing they're not racist.
Just goes to show that unintentional racism is still racism.

There are moments when he is more like Derek. "Name an instrument" at 2:46 Love it!

"You don't see heels like those much nowadays".... "You can still find 'em"

the David Brent character is the perfect scapegoat of our time !

just finished watching The Office for 87 times, assure myself that it is the best TV show ever broadcast, than i go around youtube watch this epic shit and almost dying with laughter becouse of Ricky/David...Darwin bless those two guys.

lol - I could watch RIcky corpsing ALL day! Love it.

He comes from a very working class background and worked extremely hard and still does to this day cuz he appreciates what he has, you're a fool hating on a guy whose shown more commitment and kindness this week than you have in your whole life

She's the serpent who guards the gates of hell!!!!! I know it was a one-off, I have a deep love for moving, profoundly funny shows like the office, and I'm a huge Steve Merchant fan so I'd hoped they'd come together to revisit Brent, even though it's a one-off. I still think Ricky's hilarious and the sketch is absolutely fantastic, just wanted more SMerch

That lucky, lucky street. For one day it was filled with the glorious music that is Ricky Gervais' laugh.

Well, if you enjoy seeing David Brent again, I'm pretty damn sure you'd enjoy it if they made more of The Office. But whatever. That's just my opinion anyway.

I'm sure he'll come back when Ricky decides to do something of quality again.
These recent shows and appearences aren't really on the level of Extras or The Office.

see the face on dom---priceless..recording studio episode is classic...shes the serpent who guards the gate of hell.ilmfao.ricky is a comedy genius

Brilliant, you're a fking genius Gervais, but you already know that... Thanks for bringing back the Brentmeister.

Me and my brother Archie (also a boxer dog) could watch Ricky corpsing ALL day! LOVE it!!! :)

"I suppose it's like Elton John passing on his wisdom to one of Blue... Don't know which one"

Rickys a legend

"Mega-racial but anti-racist"

Tom Basden, professional, witty, great job!

Omg. Too funny. Now we just need The Office back!

"Anti racism is a code word for anti White"
The fact that you believe that says a great deal about your character.

His laugh us the best laugh that I've ever heard!! :D

I live on Equality Street - the neighbors ignore each other equally.

Keep them coming RG

"You're legs are crap".... really made me laugh lol

Actually love this!!! 💖

Favorite line "......Their not lite." Priceless, you guys are funnier than hell. B-)

fantastic. so glad you put up vids like this.

I like the crew laughing at 3:22

LOVE IT!!!!!!

can't wait to see it !!!!

Funny thing is: RICKY WAS RAISED IN A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD! SO YES IT IS OK FOR HIM TO MAKE STUFF LIKE THIS!

This is gonna be brilliant

i actually listen to this song and LOVE IT as if im ina club....is that strange?

dwarfs aren't babies, you cant just pick them up, they've got rights. BRILLIANT

you know the coffee cup has beer in it

Man the instrument miming bit should have been on the actual released video

keep re-watching this just for Ricky's 'bidly bong' at 1:50 hahahahahaha

"biddilly biddilly biddilly biddilly biddilly biddilly bomb ski!" LOL!

He's blocked me on Twitter for some unknown reason ?! I love gervais's comedy... Bring back Brent!

You have GOT to love Ricky Gervais! So 'king funny!!!

I don't know; if the US version of The Office is still going, the English version definitely can.

' go and make some friends' lol love it.

1:57 for a laugh you can't forget.

its hard to tell when hes in character lol

You need to do a remake called Equity Street.

love it...only have to see Rickys face and I am laughing...its tongue in cheek for gods sake people.Rickys way of lightening up racism

It plays like a track from Ali G's greatest hits.

i keep repeating at 4:11 deffo the best part

MORE!!! NEED MORE!

Ricky has a killer voice

You said im "complaing about something i cant control"
You have no idea how a consistant message works Anti White.
Anti racist is a codeword for Anti White.

Doc rocks!!

oh, my. I LOVE THIS ! :D

bidly bong makes me laugh so much ahhaha, classic

How can anyone take directions from Gervais wearing that suit looking just like Brent... I'd be so confused.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 classic

how can the sound engineer keep a straight face

I love it

love the beginning its sick

RICKY IS FUCKING AWESOME !

There is a painful irony in the fact that Doc Brown didnt get to say anything in this video. I mean maybe he didnt want to, maybe they did that on purpose, but its still pretty ironic.

Spoken like a true keyboard warrior. Go make an example of someone... I'll wait.

I love this racist video, there is nothing wrong with racism. It brings like minded people together and separates colors of the rainbow!
Oh and Ricky Gervais is brilliant , keep me laughing!!

Loved that bit.

Can't believe the bongo/piano scene got cut hahahaha!

The chubby funster has still got it!

I could watch Ricky corpsing for HOURS :)

The guy who plays the studio technician has a great comedy feel and timing.

The bongo part just too funny.

Do you even know what a bongo is?!

i love the biddly bong bit

I thought it was about Quality Street candies my gram had during the holidays. Ooops.

Fluckin fantastic! Can't understand why he hasn't been arrested?

Legend.

Genius. Total genius

I remember when this channel was called Plumpard!

Ricky created David Brent alone, he had that character before he met Merch. The office story however was created by both.

Funniest song ive ever heard!

I suppose it's like Elton John passing on his wisdom to one of Blue. Don't know which one...

Bidly bidlyy bidlyy bidlyy bidlyy bidlyy bidlyy BONGGG YOO!!

you know cadburys are gonna have you over this!

couldnt agree more
