The Office - Comedy v. Humour - BBC Comedy Extra

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy

In a series of behind the scenes videos made just for the web the cast of The Office and fans discuss David Brent and why a sense of humour is so important to the British. Ricky also reveals why Finchy was the most difficult character to cast, and why Gareth wanted to be Finchy, Brent or anyone rather than himself.

I think that's utter nonsense. You can't blindly deny the points he's made just because you don't like him as a comedian. Everything he says is completely thought out and on the money.

He does seem to think he has some amazing points here, I'd prefer a lot more Gervais and Merchant

Holy fuck a dandy, Mathew Perry has aged.

@Guedingen Still Game, Only an Excuse, Chewin' the fat, Limmys Show, Gary Tank Commander and a few more are all brillant Scottish comedies. Although, I am glad you mentioned Saxondale, it's horribly under rated. Wrangler Pro rodeo.

Lucy Davis is hot as hell...my god ! : o

I think Matthew Perry is actually doing a great job here. He has obviously some great thoughts about comedy, and is clearly a bit of a student of comedy. At least more than a lot of comedy actors these days.
