He was...
Jen GannonGUEST
In a show like this, you either need someone who is an out and out lovable idiot like a Michael Scott or someone who is a misguided, you know, often appalling buffoon like a David Brent.
Jen GannonGUEST
And I think the US version of The Office shied away from being a Serbic or as devastated as the UK one.
Jen GannonGUEST
But the UK one, when you think about it, it managed to do this true quality writing that has to be said.

Jen GannonGUEST
OK, let's get some scores on the board.
Jen GannonGUEST
Stars, please.
Jen GannonGUEST
I just think there are seeds that Ned could have this callousness in him that's kind of like David Brent.
Jen GannonGUEST
And I think if they leaned into that acerbic ignorance as the head of a sitcom, maybe they don't want a toxic male as the head of the sitcom, but they should.
Dean CoughlinHOST
What was it like? Proper chore to get it up my ass.
James KilvingtonHOST
Have you ever seen that guy? The guy who sounds like David Brent? Sounds like David Brent.
James KilvingtonHOST
What
Dean CoughlinHOST
do you mean?
James KilvingtonHOST
Man who sounds like David Brent.
Dean CoughlinHOST
What's he doing?
James KilvingtonHOST
Why is it Lincoln to do all those? It's not.

You may not fill it in correctly.
HamboHOST
They're going to get relegated.
HamboHOST
They got this unknown manager in who looks a bit like a French David Brent.
HamboHOST
You know, nobody knows who he is.
HamboHOST
All their best players are going.
Katie ClayHOST
Because if you're not and you're bragging about it, then you look arrogant.
Katie ClayHOST
Do you know what I mean? Then we're giving David Brent.
Katie ClayHOST
Do you know what I mean? Then it's giving the office Ricky Gervais situation.
Katie ClayHOST
That's that kind of arrogance.
Michael HamflettHOST
He probably is.
Adam WilbournHOST
Like David Brent in The Christmas Office.
Adam WilbournHOST
"You gonna put a whisk in your mouth, mate?" "That's what we've paid you for."
Michael SidgwickHOST
[laughs]
DanHOST
Or the 90s Batmobile.
MegHOST
Could you get something small, like a little fax-a-file from David Brent's desk? What a waste.
MegHOST
Yeah,
DanHOST
from the office.
ClintHOST
got any item and you went with that.
DanHOST
They'll be like, look at this fax-a-file.
DanHOST
And they'll be like, yeah, what's that? And I'll be like, David Brent's desk.
DanHOST
And they'll be like, who's David Brent?
Richie AllenHOST
Let's get the liberal media view of this.
Richie AllenHOST
Who else would you get the liberal media view from, eh? You would get it from Broadcasting's answer to David Brent.
Richie AllenHOST
Here he is on face masks and banning balaclavas.
James O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Most people will be terrorised by the sight of men in masks and fully dressed in black shirts.
Richie AllenHOST
And I'm concerned that if I turn up as myself, that I could be cancelled, or worse, I could lose my job.
Richie AllenHOST
That couldn't be it.
Richie AllenHOST
It's got to be you're either a criminal or you're a coward, according to LBCs or the UK radio answer to David Brent, okay?
James O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Street crime.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
And then it kind of ca- pans around to the sound man, who's like, "Ha ha ha." And then Michael Owen's like, "Oh, he doesn't get my humor." And you're like, "Oh, mate."
Rob BeckettHOST
It's very David Brent.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
It's really David Brent.
Rob BeckettHOST
But like David Brent, he's lovable.
Rob BeckettHOST
I quite like Michael O- It's hard not to like him.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
He's a nice man who I would say doesn't have the insane weirdness that you need for reality TV.
TomHOST
South, I believe that is, isn't it? Yeah, They're in the South Slough, aren't they?
WaynePANELIST
David Brent area.
TomHOST
Of course.
TomHOST
So he's playing for the David Brent team, yeah.
TomHOST
So far, guys, I believe he's had the one performance.
TomHOST
I think I've actually got this written down, haven't I? Oh, I did write all this down.
