The true genius here is the way you hear the guitar strum as he says 'if i didn't lend some words of encouragement' when the camera isn't even on him. The Office is simply a masterclass in comedy
Haha...always loved that "you helped the sick, but who helped you?...then Rushin through.." transition face he makes...totally drives home just how out of place the song is for Dawn's situation.
u can hear gareth passin him it .... tim asks dawn out she says she aint split up with lee ... david nudges gareth ''go get the guitar '' lmao genius comedy show
@ohdoshutit I see you are showing interest in my strangulation techniques. I shall wrap you in cellophane and beat you with a blunt object till you come. thankyou and goodnight
It just kills me every time I watch the part where he says "yeah" and looks at the camera the way he does while he is singing "Every Breath You Take."
aha so funny how in the previous scene with freelove freeway he says "i only sing songs ive written" then at the end of this scene starts bustin out "every breath you take"...just a blatent liar :P
I love the way Brent is supposed to be consoling poor Dawn after her break up with her boyfriend and yet he is singing more to the camera (especially at the end) to show off his musical talents which, as it happens are actually quite impressive. That's what makes the U.K Office the best comedy series ever created - it's the masterfully-crafted subtlety of the scenes which although make you cringe are very much convincing and easy to engage with as a reality.
the only problem with the bits where Brent sings is that he actually has a good voice and im not sure that totally fits in with the character. really funny tho especially the face he pulls right at the end
no. if he had a really crap, out of tune voice, it wud be too much of an obvious joke. thats whats brilliant about it. it wudnt be funny if he was a shit singer coz thats not what the jokes about
If there's ever EVER been anything funnier done by anyone in the history of the world, I haven't seen it. I'll be watching this when I'm 105 years old and laughing my ass off.
Dawn is concerned that the song was originally for Princess Diana. And Elton John did the exact same thing with his song for Diana that was originally for Marylin Monroe. I wonder if this scene is just to give Elton John the finger?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think it was to give Elton John the finger. Ricky was supposed to introduce Elton John for something, and I'm not sure, but I think Elton was either late, or not there or something, but Ricky was forced by the crowd to do that stupid "David Brent Dance" and I'm betting it's to get back at him. LOL.
Gareth and Brent's faces are almost too much to bare between 0:30 and 0:40
