Interview of Richard Dawkins on Paula Zahn as an extension on CNN's story on atheism. Certainly too short an interview, but good to see Professor Dawkins finally getting on American TV.
David Brent is Made Redundant
Переглядів 526 тис.17 років тому
One of the most poignant bits from the brilliantly funny series 'The Office' (UK). This is the last scene of series two in which David Brent is made redundant. Great nuanced scene from Ricky Gervais who until this show hadn't been an actor in any medium.
"starting from NOW... and that's the real quiz!"
Gervaiss acting is superb here, along with the big brother monologue in extras, the absolutely palpable emotions he exhibits are straight out heartbreaking
It's just like Dawn said in the first episode, Brent was just a "sad little man". The clown persona he had was just a mask to hide the sadness.
Brent and Neil should've had a stick fight like Keith and Finger in Nuts In May. then it would've been Neil crying 💯
Yes we all loved this nasty little troll David Brent. But try working for him? Ive seen a multitude of boss man types disguised as little Hitler. Favoritism, racist, and boorish protecting those who bully others for the amusement of they're little clique work buddies. Folks, Managers like David Brent are funny as $ on here. But when you encounter them? it spells trouble. Most likely? the next Manager will be a friend of these two, and will begin the process of bringing in his own special little clique. The wheel spins round and round and round
No word of a lie, this some of the best acting I've ever seen.
The desperation of a man about to lose the one thing in his life that gives him any purpose. For a comedy show, The Office could be so crushingly tragic at times.
he really brought it on himself
oh shit the acting here is off the charts. What a programme.
this scene is so sad
He's a very good actor.
1:15 when the camera goes to Jennifer and she first has a look of sympathy, then after pondering she looks back with a look of you brought this on yourself! Brilliant acting and direction.
I thought Jennifer's reaction vs Neil's was totally different. With Neil's being more remorseful and Jennifer emotionless. I wonder were they directed in this way?
The harsh deafning office white noise.
You never know what’s around the corner, so true.
It brings back a feeling....of the sort that hair running back etc.shivery .....and you ,well,actually it was me...getting canned.And one of two options being:the smug ,best thing ever ,don't need you approach -or the other: the sad pathetic backtrack of a scared individual.Left to realize and genuflect on "just what was I thinking ? ' Great show greater talent and still entertaining me ....whilst I wait for my disability cheque....20 years! Hoorah
1:16. Makes my blood turn icy.
Did they expect this to be the last episode of the entire show? Cause I’m just sad
What heightens the emotional impact of this scene is the realization that David Brent, despite his embarrassing and insecure demeanor, is a genuinely lovable character. In this moment as a viewer, you're witnessing the authentic and vulnerable side of Brent. While he may struggle to keep his ego in check, he is not inherently malicious. Brent's actions stem from a deep desire for acceptance and love from those around him, albeit expressed in impractical ways. This starkly contrasts with the detestable character of Chris Finch, who abuses Brent's friendship and only acts with selfish intentions. Despite Brent's flaws, he is not the antagonist of the show.
I dont agree with that in the workplace 🤣
As cringy as david brent is...i really felt for him there begging for his job even neil felt for him...ricky is a brilliant actor
Neil amazing in this too
The best comedy makes you cry too....
After all the emotions, the Dolly Parton bit smacks you in the face.
Only Gervais could pull off the dramatic , emotional scene with so much character and then end it with "Which philosopher said that?" "Dolly Parton"...."and people say she is just a big pair of tits"... it's pure genius. Nothing will ever top this show...not just because of its pure quality but also because of the woke,pc bull shit country the UK now is. We are destroying humour,which is a staple part of English culture.
The tragedy here is Brent knew he was gone for a while but didn't have the ability to stop it and he knew his career was basically done, and this was the moment he was dreading. He had no control and that brought him to his knees
The lipsmacking,starting from now 😂
This scene breaks my heart. You know he's been offered a lot of money to go, but it's all about his personal integrity. He admits he's been underperforming, and deep down he's a good Manager, but he's been neglecting his staff and his role. I think both Neil and Jennifer like him and understand him to an extent, but sadly can't get involved. What a stunning performance from Gervais; you don't get this level of acting from the bullshit US counterpart.
Jennifer is a stunner
So well acted
Beautifully acted.
The genius of the show is in this scene. Every episode builds David Brent up as this buffoonish clown you wanna see crash and then boom. One scene brings it all crashing down on the viewer instead.
Brent mused then replied “and people say she’s just a big pair of tits”
Aww 😢 neil was a snake Brent loved that job he really did
I thought it was going to be desree
Such great little moments, the way he whistles to himself to try and make to comfort himself or make it seem like hes not bothered to the way he says he doesnt care about his holiday and is being totally passive because he feels so powerless which sums up the helplessness he now suddenly feels.
I’ve been STILL telling ppl how good he is at serious roles. Just give him a chance!! This is STILL sooo good😮
My position was just eliminated after 23 years on the job. When they were delivering the news, I could only think of this clip.
hey there, you posted this almost a year ago but i hope you’re doing better.
@@elizabethhoffman5895 I had forgotten about posting this. The hurt is mostly gone, but I’m still struggling to find my way in the job market. Thank you for asking. It reminded me how bad I felt at the time and how much better I feel now. Thank you for asking and bumping this into my comments. It made me feel good.
The way they linger, and then the voice-over, ending with the Dolly Parton qoute! BRILLIANT! And they had NO experience. =) Really amazing!
Acting beyond belief here
The threat of redundancy is such a big deal to him because he knows what it means for his life - in the office he is, or was, the king of his little world for most of the time. But with that taken away and with the documentary having exposed him as a coasting joker (which he admits in the show), he knows a tougher life or repping, or something else which he perceives to be harder and much lower status, beckons. He has just been shown his future and he's very scared.
If you’ve ever been offered a redundancy package or settlement agreement from work, this scene hits you like a truck 😢
WTF man that shit is cash, get free money and no longer have to go to fucking work. Shits like birthday and xmas rolled into one, idk wtf you are talking about.
@@Stinkyremy Because it doesn’t last pal. I’d rather have had to work my notice instead of being bundled out of the door without warning.
@@TaxingIsThieving its a job, who cares, just get another 1. You get free holiday, free money...why would you ever be unhappy. If you have ensnared yourself in usury, debt and servitude that a job, or lack of one in this case, causes you harm, you really need to re- evaluate what life really is.
@@Stinkyremy Mine was a fun job for an entrepreneur who is going places. There’s no other job like it. I couldn’t spend the money on a “holiday”. I have no debt, just no money.
This scene resonates, too, because I feel like a lot of us have done this at some point - pretending you didn't really care about a certain decision, only to realise what that decision will actually mean for you. Pride can be a dangerous thing. Ricky Gervais captures this so well. He's so natural and believable and his performance here is just jaw-dropping. He's such an underrated actor. 😢
This scene shows he’s actually a great actor
The delivery of that last line abt dolly partons tits compared to the seriousness of what proceeds it makes this hilarious
A lot of people vilify Neal, but I get the impression that he didn’t enjoy doing this at all. You can tell he feels awkward once David starts pleading, and I think his apologies in that moment were genuine. The actor did an excellent job.
Brent is rock n roll through and through. He'll get though this.
This was another reason why this show was a such a work of genius. Not only was it funny, it also grabbed you emotionally at times.
Great acting
One of the finest pieces of acting in history.
Why I love the song ‘another brick in the wall’ because that’s all we are, to the government and to the companies that employ us.
