Never liked this "comedy". Fail to see what's so great about it. The fact that Gervais is a tool doesn't help its cause.

Yep.
But some of us had that worked out at the age of 10. :)
I know waht you're saying and it's the same reason I quite like Nathan Barley, it's just that the cynical people of the world already understand the messages these programs put across.

Don't be stupid, I never said it was meant to be a documentry.
Peep Show is meant to be a comedy... The Office is a comedy but not in the traditional sense.
Though, the masses need to see a 'funny' clip... which is 'the dance'... that's what I meant or something.
I don't think I laughed when I first saw that... just hid into the seat with embarrassment for Brent... then probably laughed when Gareth said "We don't have to pay for that? ".
Genius

Course its meant to be a commedy. Anyone think it was meant to be a documentary? Also the Office was great, not as good as Alan Partridge, which is literally the best thing since sliced bread, but it was up there in the top few.

It really is.
And it's comic genius.

I can easily quote several top quality comedy films and TV shows.

The Office is sublime.

Yes but I got off my ass and took that step instead of sitting there.
I dont spend all my free time playing WoW, it's an exaggeration for comedy effect based on my loathing of beardy stuff.
I wasted years in offices feeling superior whilst doing nothing about the fact I was exactly the same.
The fact is, all people here know about me is what I tell you. I don't reveal anything beyond the Goatboy persona, with occasional glimpses (always carefully selected and monitored) into what I do when not on here.
I used to be the top poster for the month etc because 75% of my day was spent here passing the hours.
Now I'm not in an office, I post rarely if at all.
Because I'm finally enjoying life after years in a coma.
