David Brent and Michaell Scott Together on the Office

probiesays...

Ever notice that when actors do a character again after a few years away from it, they just don't get it exactly right again? Not in this case. Ricky Gervais nailed Brent. I'm glad I just got to watch the clip instead of having to sit through an entire steaming pile that show has become just to see this.

I respectfully disagree. I can't put my finger on it though - was it that he was just too sparky and energetic, or was it that I'm too used to seeing Gervais being painfully unfunny in everything outside of the office and extras series 1, and that's colouring everything he does now?

Go on. Your first answer was more on the mark then the latter, laced with sarcasm and envy. Put some real thought into this time. You might be able to figure it out then.

I'll tell you why - it was because gervais shouldn't do cameos. He was shoe-horned in. As "well done" as it ever could be, it couldn't be perfect, and so it felt a bit unnatural.

And gervais, unfunny? I suggest you go and get back under that rock you came from, if you didn't notice the last few years going by, you won't miss the next few either.

Also don't forget that this show isn't about HIM. He can't be the exact character because that character was the centre of the good version. Also, the character that he was bouncing off was a poor man's version of himself - how the hell can he create awkwardness out of that?
