For All The Ricky Gervais Fans: Part 1

For those of you who don't know, Ricky Gervais is the British comedian who is responsible for the hit television show, The Office. He and his writing partner Stephen Merchant first created The Office for the BBC before ending the series, and letting NBC create it over here in the US. The US version is similar in ways to the British version, but they are both hilarious in their own unique ways. If you haven't watched the British version I highly reccomend it.

The best part is that Ricky's charachter, David Brent, thinks he is the world's best boss, is the funniest person around, and is a very deep and philosophical thinker.

The video below is something Microsoft put out in their British offices. It is supposed to be a training video for Microsoft employees with David Brent sharing his wisdom. It is quite funny and worth your time to watch. It is long, but as I said it is very funny.

Just in case the video doesn't load, here is the direct link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9076288729387457440&q=Ricky+Gervais+Part+1
