    One thing I absolutely love is that Brent thinks "I don't agree with that in the workplace" is some sort of catchphrase where as it actually tells more about Brent's interactions with the guy than anything else.
  • ricky gervais is one of best visual comedic actors ive ever seen. his expressions and mannerisms are incredible.
  • @chrisdavies3394
    I still struggle to watch this without a cushion in front of my face.
  • @MaHOOza360
    When Tim leans back and goes "ooo" its so good
  • @riversatya
    I love the "I was the main thing" throwaway line at the beginning. Absolutely brilliant.
  • The fact that he claims he never made the hand jokes about Eric Hitchmo, only to be exposed by Gareth later on, is utter genius.
  • @haarukkamestari
    "Turn the phone off, that's part of it.. if you're not concentrating you're not enjoying as much... focus."
  • @chrisjames6327
    The fact that only two people in the room knows who Eric Hitchmo is, but he still does the routine
  • @giaitchison
    "My parents owned a paper shop... Until it blew away" I genuinely laughed at this.
  • @Raskolnikov32
    1:14 Look at the way he stands up. No one does awkwardness like Gervais.
  • @wasteofspace20
    I know Eric Hitchmo, this is a spot on impersonation! 
  • @fishyc150
    That the supporting actors had to look unimpressed whilst watching one of the greatest bits of comedy acting is magnificent in itself.
  • @mikeroberts5592
    His little hand action when he says "I've never come over a little queer" 100% sums up Brent. How he feels the need to excruciatingly explain all his jokes
  • @Onmysheet
    1:17 Most awkward stand up. The layering of acting on this show is amazing.
  • @cityman2312
    There goes David Brent. I must remember to thank him.
  • @maxington26
    I love the pieces of notepaper he clutches - you can imagine him sitting by himself, desperately trying to write funny lines to a deadline as if it's the most important work task of his career.
  • @TheIkaraCult
    The way he grabs his tie after saying "No need"... lord above
  • @SlyRy
    I’ve seen this dozens of times and I still hide my face from the embarrassment. Absolutely brilliant.
