Gervais is a master of creating awkward situations which just make you want to cringe, you forget that it's even acted.
Instablaster.
State the ducking obvious
I don't know why everyone is so hard on David sure he's a superficial narcissistic but he's not mean or hurtful to others he just has a huge ego that wants to be noticed. I don't know why the rest of the world is so cold to him sure they might need him but why resent him sine there are heaps worse nasty people in the world and makes Brent out to be an angel in comparison I would actually try and have a deep and meaningful with him as I reckon I could crack through his ego and find his heart. I also loved the Tony Hancock character too although others may have found him tedious.
From the comments section. Some people believe that his character is real.
That was funnier than expected....
Funny but the finale of The Office (British version) was so perfect and left David on a potentially happy note that I hate to be reminded of what probably happened to him.
@Brandon Massey the movie is good
Yea, would have liked to think he ended up with that hot blind date. But I guess it is fiction.
Despite Gervais' usual humor, it's actually quite heartbreaking to discover that the blind date didn't work out.
Song’s not about the blind date girl. He sang the song in season 1, episode 4 of the office, which is before he met her. Also, he says in this song she’s ginger. Pay attention next time.
@Jack Johnson canon*
@Phil Oh did you not see her? She just left.
He says the song was about a ginger girl, different person?
Nah, it did, no one considers this canon haha
The "Uh-oh! Warning! Brent's found a guitar!" bit.. totally killed me
Is it a fender?
I don't look at what things say
Absolute classic brent.
I didn't think he could get more cringe worthy
But Gervais delivers again.
Amazing.
Quite sad. You can see where Brent’s broken soul comes from. He loved that girl and proposed to her and found her shagging someone else. A glimpse into how Brent was made.
Phil Hickleys fault
@rafer Jefferson iii False. You’re clueless.
@rafer Jefferson iii Yea good luck…Mandy wear…dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
6:12 - the boots had me in hysterics. They'd go perfectly with his Sergio Georgini jacket 😂
That look to camera at 6:26 speaks a thousand words. Ricky is an absolute legend....
Plus the sequel at 6:51
Reminds me of the video for lady gypsy :D
Thought the same
Never ever forget that Brent fused flashdance and mc hammer!
So close but yet so far..
Need to add the shit
Probably put some drum n bass shit on it nowadays
MC Hammer Shit
can't wait for life on the road! The brent character is so well written and acted by ricky, a simple character but so tragic and in a way oddly inspired!
I would love to go out on the town with brent, at least he tries his best and doesn't mope around. He's positive, obviously he's meant to be a bit arrogant but generally he's nice. ps I know he's a character and not real ha ha.
Peter Kearney hear hear
+alan robson Here here...
exactly. just a wally with a good heart. know a few.
Much like Coogan with Alan. It's great to see Ricky doing other stuff but it's amazing to see just how perfect and 'at home' he looks playing Brent, it's like he was put on the planet to do it.
I think we all have a little Brent in us,it makes me cringe when I recognize it
Not in me. I m a doer and walker on heads and corpses
@DnB and Psy Production i'm more worried about being Super Hans.
I'm more worried about being Mark from Peep Show.
@rafer Jefferson iii hahaha
I’ve always said that, so the 136 likes are for me, in a way. I say like for both the author and for my original idea that probably inspired geekrockrats to post it. Both excellent comments, leave me out of it
He even acts awkward handshakes perfectly😂
the attention to detail is just amazing. The fact that he walks into the studio first then the handshakes at 4:41 are just so
awkwardly brilliant
I've seen Doc Brown live and he was incredible. I'm so bloody happy David Brent is at it again!!!!,
Last time I saw that rapper he was selling Jay and Neil spliff puff in a rock club.
Haha yeah that was a good episode..love the inbetweeners..
and he’d never heard of neil diamond
@torai manchester ooohh.. You're ard!
Ah sweet Mary Jane!
The irripressable David Brent. The only character I have ever seen whos equally annoying and entertiaining at the same time ( and hes very annoying lol ) GREAT!
when he shakes hands in a studio It's so subtle, but so hilarious. That's genius.
The "steel drums?" -"YEEEP. YEP" kills me every time. Such amazing delivery.
Brents humor is honestly so perfect for me. I never laugh out loud more than when im watching this character
PLEASE MAKE MORE David Brent MOVIES!!!
these are sooo funny, and so was life on the road!!
brilliant - we've missed david. was nice to see him appear on inside the actors studio :-) what a fantastic series that is also.
They should genuinely make an album for Brent. A live one would be amazing!
This is so much funny and sad at the same time!!:D I feel bad for David Brent but this is so great! Ricky Gervais is comedy genious.
I wish they make Office season 3
Biddly biddly biddly bong:D You British people make the best comedy ever.
The fear and defeat in his eyes when he says "What has happened?"
He suddenly looks very old.
Wonderfully excruciating! Great to see this snippet of Brent again... Sad it didn't work out with the nice woman from The Office Xmas Special though.... "Mammogram" - GENIUS!! The two supporting actors are fantastic too. x
I see Gervais and I start laughing....He`s BRILLIANT!!
Please make more of these! I miss David Brent so much!
Bring him back for good! The guy is a legend!!!
I love how meta bits like this and the music video in The Office and the Staff Training episode are. It's Brent, but it's also Gervais saying - "yeah, I was a musician, and I could have been something", a nod to the Seona Dancing days.
The bartender is perfect
"Its perfect, 'cause its mega racial, but anti-racist."
-David Brent The Great
The best TV series of all time!
8:20 has me in stitches everytime.
Ricky Gervais is the master! I miss Davis Brent, would love to see a season 3 of The Office! "Serpent Who Guards The Gates Of Hell" Is a really good song ;)
An absolute comedy genius 👌😀
Brent has no concept of time, he just lives the moment.
Brilliant, loved the Office!
Can not stop listening to him singing it,great voice!lol
Brent's found a guitar, Brent's found a guitar! Such a ledge!
Even at the end he runs after him... brilliantly subtle
"This can be like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Better because you can see what you're doing".
Hilarious, as always.
The funniest use of the word 'Lilt' in history
Well noticed
how could you maintain everybody serious all the time ? I mean, you must have shot the takes many times because I would not contain myself in certain scenes. Congrats for this work and all your career
This is just so hilarious. So many tiny nuances!
“He says yeah cos of you Brent. I said shut up, everyone plays their part” I laughed so much at that line
It is not for everyone, however I find it hilarious
Love how he is wearing shoes with a MASSIVE heel!
"Don't wear the shoes..."
"I wasn't going to wear the shoes!!"
Are they having a go at that as well?
Brent's face is amazing throughout the guitar section.
He’s worth his weight in gold.
Comic genius and the rest.
This 10 minutes, is better than the entirety of Life On The Road. Which isn't saying much.
The greatest character ever in TV
My favourite show references my other favourite show. Father Ted and The Office are brilliant.
I have watched this soooooooooo many times.......I love it!!
haha, it's really great, funny as usual. But I think it kind of discredit the office christmas finale. You could see that David Brent clearly transformed into a new person and became grounded to the earth. This was funny and brilliant, but I will pretend that I never watched this.. I want to think David Brent got his life put together :)
David Brent needs to release a album. Id buy it.
Ricky actually sings/plays guitar very well - pity he never sung the whole song.
All gestures and things are very close to what he did in The office. Brent and Gervais are 10 years older so...
It looks like Brent has a sad face compared to the past. Its been a struggle for Brent for 10 years, never getting his real break.
I love it. Hahahahaha!!
Gervais, you should DEFINITELY do frequent TheXvid uploads on the life of David Brent!
The 'Lilt' and look at the camera is absolute comedic gold and I don't know why
This will never get old!
I only laughed once too. The whole Sketch. Brilliant just brilliant.
It is actually so rare to watch a 10 min vid and enjoy every single second of it. There is nothing much more to say than Gervais is a genious. I can not praise the guy any higher he is a living legend in my eyes.
Dom Johnson is proper underrated. Really good actor and really funny x
Watched this on viaplay or netflix many years ago, that was great, much better than office. Didnt know ricky can also sing very well. He is awesome. Pity they do not show it anywhere. How about uploading it on youtube all - lots of people never heard of it
A Brent podcast would be amazing.
This could be like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, but better because you can see what your doing... lmao
the view of him walking away! brilliant.
Ricky is a really good musician
The 'lady with the flaming hair' part was sung beautifully! 6:09
Probably the best pub in the neighbourhood. "Cos of you Brent!" "Shaddup everyone plays their part"
There goes David Brent in his Cuban heeled boots I must remember to thank him
A minute in I was wondering if it would be as incredible as the Office I saw in 2006. By minute 5 I realized not only is he just as spot on Brent, he's even added a little more cringe as if that was even possible. Thanks to Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant for this awesome horrible creation
Man, I actually love his sound.
Brents still got it.its when he bites his lip and rolls his eyes.ipso facto gold!!
Ricky is super talented as a guitarist/singer. Funny as heck. Laughed seeing his hairy legs with his socks crumpled down around his ankles.
Haha I love David Brent.
I just hope Gervais keeps his end of the deal.I did my part.
I loved every second of that
Stay strong, you've got the nineteen thumbs up!!
I swear that every single time i click on a Ricky Gervais related video there's just a bunch of people who don't get it. It's satirical, we are laughing at the kind of people he is portraying. He is poking fun at them, and laughing with you.
MEarhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhherhehrhehr
It’s 2020....
We need Office to come back!
I would like to see a series based on David Brent as a manager like this.
I don't think Gervais would do it though.
I LOVE how awkward he is
must take highly skilled actors to keep a straight face thru Gervais' antics.
I would love to go on a night out with Brent and Partridge
I know that I'm watching Brent when I start grinding my teeth and scrunching my toes!
The funniest thing is thinking about how many takes it must have taken ricky to say "biddly-biddly" cracking up...
"Reping....not gonna kill that cash cow"......love it....Ricky is my comic Hero.he's also a very good guitarist you know, he hams his playing up a bit as Brent, but he actually is very good, not got a bad singing voice either..I believe he was in a band in the 80s.
Only Brent could seem sincere while doing this irreverent song about a past love...only Brent.
Man beware
Of the lady with the flaming hair (she was a ginger)
She's not what she seems
She will crush your dreams
Don't look in her loving eyes
She's a demon in disguise
And soon only time will tell
She's the serpent who guards the gates of hell
One of the best of programs.
Absolutely fantastic
"So can all you lot rap then? Could Trevor McDonald rap if he had to?"
Oh shit, this is rib cracking.
"Rum and coke... Red Stripe... Lilt...?"
Still a master of uncomfortable comedy.
"I don't read things. I just know what they sound like." Every bad musician ever...Ricky was brilliant for including that:D
"but you can see what you are doing..." = I cant stop laughing
Just heard Trevor McDonald's new Grammy winning rap album........AMAZING
