The Office - The Beginning - BBC Comedy Extra

[Jamessweetman13]

Why was Chandler interviewed?

[beckadavidson]

The first 20 seconds had me curled up laughing, because its 4 am and here I am

[leakeg]

THE GLORY OF KEITH! yesss - exactly what I was thinking.

[bensimps123]

look at steve at 28 seconds hahahahaha you would think there talking of a death or something

[FreeGimp]

When I see Martin Freeman talking in this documentary he's exactly the same as tim talking in the office, it's crazy

[Grimmy67]

yup to agree with others here.... Mathew Perry just doesnt get it !!! lol..... I think it maybe because he is a yank !!!

[Chrisbajs]

Nice lighting on Lucy! Who the hell approved that filming? :-P

[Giradox]

I love hearing Stephen Merchant talk, just because of Wheatley... <3 Sexy accent.

[ErosGuru87]

I absolute love what Smerch has to say at 1:57, and his expressions that follow. Love this duo.

[me1we1]

fred perry from friends

[explodingplant2]

Aww, Mackenzie made me feel so bad for Gareth.

[Morphindel]

Christ, how much weight has Lucy Davis lost?! Doesnt look like her...

[BlueLiquidGold7]

Ricky's story at the first meeting reminded me of George Costanza from Seinfeld at the NBC meeting.."This is the show, and we're NOT gonna change it!"

[cookiemonsta11111]

@BlueLiquidGold7 LMAO <3

[MsMarc1234]

Thumbs up if you are up all night watching shit like this

[reflexzor2142]

5:50 head like a fucking pear

[bensimps123]

stop it at 34 seconds ...steve looks like he wants to kill ricky hahaha

[ivorbigonee]

mackenzie is really boring to listen to.

[FranBMan22]

@ivorbigonee No he's not. Mackenzie's lovely, he's just not a showman. And why should he be? He's an actor, not a comic.

[ivorbigonee]

matt perry, shut up

[snutzerberry]

steve and ricky reminds me of PINKY and BRAIN from the animaniacs Warner Bross....=P

[lfc4ever82]

the tim section was 1st class! laughed my tits off!

[AndysEdits]

just the beginning initself had me in stitches

[TheFashionbugs]

Nigel!

[gabiace12]

Funny thing is - I genuinely DID stay up all night watching The Office and the outtakes etc =P

[AimFireScream]

Matthew Perrys' forehead is massive!

[ska2808]

Richard Curtis is so pretentious these days.

[11davies11]

@MrKaniyaw  FUCK OFF

[gmcaveety93]

@MrKaniyaw i know what you mean

[theycallhimSQUEE]

I can never get over sometimes how intelligent Ricky is. just things like when he said "A satisfied socrates, in a room of fools", you can tell he's a very intelligent person, or atleast thats my oppinion

[itsnotfreedom]

@theycallhimSQUEE Ricky actually says he's a sort of dissatisfied Socrates in a room full of satisfied fools. That's a reference to a John Stuart Mill (English philosopher) quote: "better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied." - which means it's better to see the truth and be aware of the faults of ourselves and our world even if that's a bit depressing, than to be in happy ignorance, with low standards but thinking everything is fine.

[NNICKKK]

@itsnotfreedom great reply there. enlightening!

[utdfortreble]

you stupid fat old maniac hahhaha

[bobbylockes]

a dissatisfied socrates in a room of satisfied fools?.... or would you prefer to be a or a satisfied fool in a room of dissatisfied socrates's? reference to John Stuart Mill 's Greatest-Happiness Principle - sorry people I just had to look it up as its such a great quote.

[acrobaticaromatic]

i would LOVE LOVE LOVE a boss like david brent. you wouldn't even have to do any work, just hang around him all day and go home at 5 and get paid.

[coffee2luv]

watching this at 3 in the morning...i can and i am

[KingEVOII]

epic show

[0Feathers0]

i like how matthew perry's background looks very much greenscreened, And how he also compares Tim to Chandler almost immediately hahaha, was he asked to compare or did he just come out with it? not exactly breaking away from the role

[bumbledown08]

@0Feathers0 Yeah, I noticed that too! And by the way, I don't remember Chandler ever being an 'observer'.

[loknloll]

@0Feathers0 he may have been asked to say that, or something similar. more telling is the inclusion of one of the more popular characters from one of america's most successful shows, commenting on the office.

[SnoocheeBoochees]

shame Matthew Perry is so well known, he would be awesome in the US Office.

[gdfjf1]

LUCY LUCY LUCY

[FranBMan]

I know, I know. Smart AND adorable.

[jcrawley1]

What a laugh at 2:00!

[tbase26]

They've all got some lovely living rooms haven't they.

[messibouti99]

classy

[loknloll]

@tbase26 i was wondering if those were their respective homes... if so, indeed they are impressive. especially christopher guests' with that massive expanse of green out the window....

[isbenz]

@tbase26 Lovely stock footage of living rooms. They are on greenscreen ;)

[smaakjeks]

@tbase26

Usually, interviews like that don't happen in the actors' and actresses' homes. They tend to happen in studios where a fake living room is set up.

[tbase26]

@smaakjeks Cheers to you and all the others for posting me an explanation. However, if I could explain to you, I was in fact being sarcastic! Ta anyhow ;)

[smaakjeks]

@tbase26

Oh. Well, there you go.

[leakeg]

@smaakjeks I think that's the joke mate.

[smaakjeks]

@leakeg

Yes.

[abuturabmujahidmdk]

@tbase26 afridi

[ehmazin]

Best comedy evah

[Saeleyjnr]

Cheers Matthew Perry, such wonderful insight. A worthwhile contribution

[alabam5]

Was that comment naughty sarcasm?

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Saeleyjnr

Rofl.

[brook316]

@Saeleyjnr I thought exactly the same thing. Chandler was a great character, but god that man is a cunt...

[ItIsTheInvisibleMan]

@Saeleyjnr he actually has a point, that it would be such an easy ride to have a boss like that, just laugh at his jokes play along and your living an easy life :D

[555fletcher]

Chanandler Bong

[phunnyphil12]
