The US version is very different to the UK version in that the US version quickly became a sitcom and the cameras following the cast around weren't really that important to the story - you could even forget that they were supposed to be on "mockumentary" and it was clear that you were watching a fictional comedy. The UK version preserved this atmosphere that it was a reality show and that they were real people being filmed in their naturally awkward behaviour.

So painfully awkward but amazing performance.

Super Maddud You're embarrassing yourself...

The most genius bit of comedy EVER to be composed. Every single script is perfectly thought through and composed!! I can guarantee there are still many Managers like Brent to this day! 🏓 I like the order in which Brent positioned the clarification. Me 👉🏻 🍺 Finchy 👉🏻 🍺 and Gareth 👉🏻 🍺, sometimes Cider. Different drinks for different needs! 👉🏻🔥🔥

"mmmm, just... looking at this, checking it out"

I thought it was a very professional interview and a fine example of strong decision making 👍

At 2:44 she's about to leave and he saves it by giving her the job 🤣

the more i watch this show, the more i wonder how on earth he delivered these lines the way he does. They can't possibly be written in this way, it's just his conception of the character. I'd call it brilliant but it's too organic - genius i guess is the word

Yes, there was a lot of ad-libbing as you'll see from the outtake reels. Ricky's characterization is so strong that the lines come intuitively. He's basically the same as Marlon Brando or James Dean.

This stuff is management gold - middle managers of England : Listen and Learn!

Gah when he says to her "Exploring yourself". I can barely watch.

It’s a joke he’s trying to be cringey for a reason. It’s amazing how tv shows try to evoke more than one emotion from their audiences

Oh the pain, the pain...

I love British humor. It seems to be more sarcastic, dirtier, wittier, more complex and far less obvious, which works for me. But I get how many of my friends don't get it. And I still can't believe that some people have no idea that the BBC version of The Office came before the American one, thanks to Gervais and Merchant, who also wrote Extras. If you love this kind of humor, please watch those vids. They are both characters in it.

@nordhorny Don't be so rude to the lady! The original version of something is still a "version". David Brent: Life On The Road has something to say about foul-mouthed mean-spirited people like you. You're one of the baddies.

"What time you gonna cruise down there?" Lol

This scene gets more horrendous now I am the wrong end of my thirties.

I love the fact that when dawn leaves the room he still pulls the chair closer to him whilst making she she isn’t looking 😂 brilliant

Love how he says "come over", as if he goes there loads and was already invited and was sort of inviting her along, but she was already planning to go already 😂

‘Pop it down’ 😂😂

Everyone seems to miss "pop IT down", brilliant, conveying what is on his mind.

The David Brent character is a master stroke from Mr Gervais. Imagine Brent and Alan Partridge down the pub!!

This made my skin crawl in the best way.

Brilliant interview technique. Found out what he needed to know in minutes. The lack of boyfriend on her trip was probably the clincher....

Sometimes I wish I could be taken seriously, but you can't blame them, they are just marvelling at my comedic talent. I like to be a halarious, comforting friend first, and an efficient boss second.
