keith from the office reminds me of gaspode. i see him and i think, "that's gaspode!" my boyfriend (who thinks the office is the only funny thing out of the uk) is getting tired of it and is quickly identifying with gareth.

i'm scared.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

kendra knows what i look like im thinking.

[kendra k]

i just imagine you being as communicative as him in an office environment.

[Adam]

So thats the bloke that swims in my local swimming pool. Thought i'd seen him somewhere.

"He's mental. Not literally, that wouldn't work"

[iSeb]

lol....

"I see this office as one big organisim, the guys upstairs on the phone are the mouth, the guys down here are the hands"

"So what part are you?"

"Good Question.... Probabbly the human."

[Mcqueen_]

That would be funny if you got it right.

Probably the humour.

[iSeb]

That would be funny if you got it right.

Probably the humour.

so how is it done correctly?

[Mcqueen_]

Forgot you had to spell things out on here for some people.

Probabbly the human = Wrong

Probably the humour = Bingo!

[iSeb]

I could have sworn it was human.

[Eddie]

It i sdefinately the humour - that's the joke, Brent see's him self as the humour of the office, you know....the funny one!

I have the script book to proove it but I guess I don't need to!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Sebbywood if it was human it wouldn't work... and it didn't.

but you do accounts, don't you?

stengths= accounts.

yup although I doubt anyone that has seen me work would call it a strength.

[pip1984_2k]

I cant look at scotch eggs in the same way without thinking of Keith saying

"I can quarentee you atleast one orgasm"

I know that is the exact quote but its the Xmas special and was a while ago

[Aaron]

Was on last night actually.

[iSeb]

Sebbywood if it was human it wouldn't work... and it didn't.

I dont know what i was thinking.... probabbly drunk.

I think that The Office is the only comedy in the last 10 years to be half decent. The fact is that all the ideas and all the jokes got used up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. And all the comedies in the 90s, and the 2000s are, basically rubbish; but The Office is different, it's fantastically written, exquisetly acted, and the characters, situations, and scripts are all things we can relate to.
The Office is really one of the best comedies around, not just now, but it will stand the test of time; it is innovative, realistic, and a bloody good laugh

[DemonHorse]

and don't forget, if you ever worked in an office, it's likely you can totally relate to it, I know I do, even the place I used to work where the David Brent was a receptionist instead of a manager.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Wasn't The Royle Family in the 90's surely a forerunner to the office?

There were good comedies in the 90s just no one watched them. People like us was it called? that was genius.

[Ickle Angel]

What the hell was people like us? Dont forget Alan Partridge too

[DemonHorse]

Red Dwarf. I know that technically started in 1988 but it has had great success, a testament to which is the fact that EIGHT series have been made, and a film is in the works. How many british sitcoms (or even dumb yank ones) can say that?

and Phoenix Nights (and to a lesser extent That Peter Kay Thing, though that evolved into Phoenix Nights really).

Both of these are every bit as funny as The Office IMO.
