A deleted scene from The Office. Gareth asks Dawn for a womens perspective on his relationships. If this scene had made the cut it would probably be my favourite Gareth moment.
@@ChildrensRightsFirst947 he’s not meant to, Dwight is a very toned down cartoonish version of him with redeemable qualities, Gareth’s meant to be a straight up wanker
@@conz1012 I agree few people say she wasn't a good actress in this but I've worked in a few places and trust me there are plenty of Dawn like people out there.
C S5 yep, and today if you do that in a workplace you would get a sexual harassment case against you. Bloody joke. I worked in an office years ago, loved it with all the flirting and romance I got with women I worked with. Great fun, happy memories.
@@shamshirhussain8198 lol it's not a 1960s show. It's possible they're even more common nowadays, but I did A levels around the time The Office came out, and they were already extremely common. Certainly common enough for that line to be funny
I'm surprised she didn't smack him after he said that. I have only seen the American version of The office, which I really liked, because for some reason I couldn't get into the one episode of the British/original versionI saw. This is a bit odd because while I'm a Canadian I generally prefer British humour to anything we see here that comes out of the States. Probably because you see every punch line coming a mile away whereas British humour isn't set up like that, you guys don't stop the show for a second (cue laugh track) to pat yourselves on the back every time you say something funny. And thanks to Netflix I get to watch some British show that I normally would never have even heard of.
@@aberamagold7509 Why would she smack Gareth? Watched and love them both versions for different reasons, US version is more like family/friend relationship in an office setting and a lot of character focus and development (given they have a lot of episodes), silly jokes and some awkward moments, while UK has focused on what's happening inside the office, tons of subtle jokes without setup and breaks, and pure awkwardness.
@@aberamagold7509 I am also Canadian, and I completely agree with this. I always prefer British comedy for the same reasons. They have more complex, subtle, and dry humor. Where-as I find American humor just hits you over the head with the punchline. (I've always found that Canadian comedy was a nice marriage of the two). That being said when it comes to the office, I really did prefer the American version and I was very surprised by that.
@@gravity111587 You probably prefer The Office US because it's not bleak and borderline depressing like the UK version. It's all fine and good that The Office UK is realistic in its boring and socially awkward work environment, but a comedy is meant to be fun.
Dawn is just brilliant in this scene! Her facial expressions and her reactions, combined with Gareths' oblivion to how much of a tosser he is, has me in tears every time 😂😂
I used to work with a 'Gareth' once. The similarities between the Office character and him were uncanny. He even strolled into work one day in full cycling gear...tight Lycra, the works, and then proceeded to 'warm down' in full view of anyone who dared look. I’ve never heard so many sniggers and when he finally disappeared into his office, everyone fell about laughing.
I used to have a boss like him. Always competitive. Anything you said he just interrupted and told of his (better) exploits. The moods I'd come home in 😣
Every episode of The Office on a par with Fawlty Towers. Those two probably the top two things ever on TV. For me Keith's appraisal was up there with the best. Having been a junior office manager it was so real I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I've never seen Mackenzie Crook crack up in any of the bloopers. Maybe they didn't show any, but I like to think he was just a bit too professional on set. He was a stand up comic, apparently, so maybe he had better self control
"Nice to know." Gareth really hasn't got a clue. He represents the"some mothers do 'ave 'em" demographic. Compare British T'he Office' with the American one, and realise the enormous gulf of two nations separated by a common language. As an Aussie, I say, "British IS THE VERY BEST!"
i know what you mean, the first time i saw it i was probably 15, and then, just a few years later when i was 19 i got the dvds, and it was 1000% more cringy then i remembered, nearly painful to watch at some points..... and now it's light heartedly funny again.... funny ole world lol.
Its not even comparable. Every time I rewatch the UK office I'm newly amazed by it. Its one of the only truly flawless shows I've seen. The USA office is just another show. Probably better than a lot of stuff but comparing it to this is just pointless. The characters are just stupid exaggerations.
@@NowhereMan7 I 100% agree. It's perfect in every way, not just as a comedy but as a well-rounded show that has believable characters and situations. I've seen bits of the US version and it's so obviously scripted and the situations absurd. The original version could easily pass for real life.
He obviously does but knows he dosnt stand a chance never will so instead of loosing face hes had to turn it round to almost insult her to boost his own ego
Might be a bit of a tangent, but this reminds me of a lot of questions one gets asked at work - in that the person is asking the question when coming from completely the wrong approach/perspective. They need to correct their whole approach and perspective, before they can even begin to ask sensible questions. But it's extremely hard, if not impossible, to convince a person that they need to completely change their approach/perspective.
Hard to imagine now, but back when the trailers were first being shown for this series I thought it was proper reality TV. I watched Gareth with open-mouth incredulity. Best acting ever.
Wow, I just found the UK version of the office and I have to say this is way better than the US version. I can not stand the US Office. UK always puts out funnier stuff than us.
I'm American and started with the UK version. Can't even watch the US version. It just seems forced to me. Seinfeld and Curb your Enthusiasm are untouchable though in terms of genius sit-coms.
UK office was just on a different level to the US one. the US version, as with most US sitcoms, relies on characters being over the top stupid for shits and giggles.
The US version actually manages to develop the characters further due to huge number of episodes, so I don't see how they are over the top. Quite the opposite. The UK version is still brilliant but the characters cannot ever stray. Gareth is always a 100% nob, can never say or do anything nice. Not quite so in the US version. I'd say the US version is almost as good as the UK but in a different way.
Best part is that it was totally unnecessary to bring up both birds. Could've just asked about the bloater, but wanted to make the point he was seeing two girls at once.
Gareth is literally the side of me I try to prevent ever escaping to anyone. And I'd've gotten away with it too if it weren't for Steve Jobs inventing the smartphone.
