Neil: Did you bring your dog with you?
Finchy: Did you see her? She just left!
Brent: Finchy.
Finchy: Yeah?
Brent: Why don’t you just fuck off?!

No, he just struck lucky, and for once he didn't act like a tit, and they got on well.
Couldn't see it lasting, though.

Yep, the look on Finchy's face after Brent said that was classic.

Finchy was so upset he quit and started doing voiceover work for TalkSport.

And more recently that Lloyds Family ISA ad with the Everyone’s a Winner soundtrack. Yup with the line “making love with you..” delivered by a gruff, baratoned, rasping man known for playing a part in a mockumentary about a paper merchants where he stars as a drunken, bullying, misogynistic pervert. :roll:

:lol: That episode of the WH quiz was one of my favourites. Some brilliant dialogue like Finchy sneeringly telling Ricky that his part time job at school was professor of watching Blockbusters all day long, wining the kettle hurling competition and Brent fucking up some of the questions.

The best bit, of course, is:

Such a wonderful ending.
I wasn't sure about the Christmas special after the first part, but having watched it a few times, it's a cracker.

That scene in the greengrocer:
Shopper: "Are you that fat bloke from Airport?"
Brent: "Obviously not!"

:lol: :lol:


The back-stage scene after Brent performed on stage was painfully sad.

People like David and Finchy actually work in offices, and most of them are senior managers. Fact!

The first local paper I worked at, the editor was very Brent-like. Thought he was a fantastic comedian, and went round flicking people's ears then running off back to his office like a schoolboy. Such a twat.

That part where someone through some used underpants at Brent on stage and he knew that it wasn’t peanut butter which was smeared in the gusset. Eww.

Lol. A few years ago I worked in a office where the manager often acted Finchy-esque and made my life such a living hell that I resigned. He refused my resignation letter but I told him where to 'shove it', roughly speaking. Oh, that was a great day. 8)

I thought his manager told him it wasn't that bad, because it was Nutella, but Brent got the hump because if that was true, then whoever threw them must have prepared them in advance! :lol: :lol:

Gervais' and Merchant's television series Extras is also brilliant, and the podcasts and XFM radio show with Karl Pilkington. I listened to a few of the old radio episodes recently and was shocked by how much societal attitudes have changed since the early–mid noughties. Today the three of them would be hung, drawn and quartered by the Offended Brigade. Ricky already is, isn't he? :lol: :lol: :lol:



ROFL! :lol: :lol:
