Desree not rock enough for you? I must admit, I put it there to see if you'd be torn, given your affection for both rock and Ricky.

When they kick him out, he can be the star of his own "Office" sitcom; he is such a david brent.

Betty Page is awesome and everything but HOLY SHIT that was terrible dancing. I think David Brenner borrowed a couple of those moves.

I think the accent has forever been tainted by the character of David Brent.

It's not so much the context, as how much he speaks like Ricky Gervais' character from the Office, David Brent. I have no idea who he is or what he's talking about either, but right at the end he channels Brent. Anyway, there's a reason it only garnered 7 votes...

I appreciate it, but I'm really looking for those clips where Brits seem to find a way to control their anger and channel it in a way that lays waste to those that oppose them, yet somehow they remain incredibly composed ..

I have no idea who that guy is or what he's talking about.

It probably doesn't constitute rage as such, but I have a clip of a British gent full of righteous indignation you may be interested in...

The penis bit was absolutely hilarious. Also, I found it pretty amazing that Lipton got him to do David Brent and sing Freelove Freeway.

He keeps repeating a lot of his jokes. I've heard the "pee in the sink" one like 10 times. Doesn't he realize that people are likely to see more than just one of his interviews?

He didn't bring it up; Lipton did.

Hey, thanks for the promote - he does a mean David Brent. Shame it can't pull in the votes!

Who's David Brent? Is he one of the guys on that show "the Office"?

You can really see the David Brent in his performance. Too funny.

>> ^spoco2:
BUT
That's not the point of the joke. The point is that it's a terrible punchline, it's not the joke itself that's funny, it's the telling. AND as such it's a joke that comedians tell each other to demonstrate how good they are at the telling of a joke, not remembering a punchline.
Plus it has become who can make the most twistedly depraved version of it.


Hmm, so it's a David Brent style awkward hollow ending? OK, I guess that's better. Still not convinced it's a classic. I know it's in the telling and it's just fail across the board as far as I'm concerned.
