The Office (British version) might be short, but it changed TV comedy forever. Cringe humor, mockumentary style, and Ricky Gervais as David Brent set the blueprint.

The Office (2001–2003) changed TV comedy by proving awkward silence could be funnier than punchlines. Ricky Gervais’ David Brent made cringe comedy a genre of its own, and almost every workplace sitcom since owes it something.

The Office turned 25 yesterday and the timeline is full of memories and clips. It’s still my all-time favourite comedy, a genuine masterpiece from Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant. It hasn’t aged a day. The writing, the cringe, the painfully relatable characters… it feels as fresh and sharp today as it did in 2001. Of all the iconic episodes, S1E4 “Training” might be my absolute favourite. Everything clicks, but nothing tops David Brent completely taking over the customer service role-play. Brent as the world’s worst hotel manager is comedy perfection. The highlights: “I think you’ll care when I tell you what the complaint is… I THINK THERE’S BEEN A R**E UP THERE!” 😂 “I got his attention. Get their attention.” And the classic closer: “What room are you in?” “362.” “There is no 362 in this hotel… sometimes the complaints will be false.” 😭 The way he derails the entire training session just to be the centre of attention is classic Brent. Hilarious, awkward, and somehow still oddly charming. If you haven’t rewatched it lately, do yourself a favour.

The comedy series Extras features a memorable cameo by David Bowie in its second season. In the episode, Bowie appears as himself and obliterates Ricky Gervais who played the role as Andy Millman.

This is transgender Scottish Green Party candidate ‘Sophie Molly’ with ‘Poverty is a Prison’. I’m sorry, Ricky Gervais but this out-parodies the David Brent stuff. The video is incredible.

Bob Odenkirk says Ricky Gervais in the original Office might be one of the greatest acting performances ever, over Daniel Day-Lewis “I want to tell you what I think the best acting maybe ever is. Not Daniel Day-Lewis. Ricky Gervais in the first Office” “It’s crazy how real he feels and how much there’s layers in what he’s doing. How much pain is inside this absolute clown of a human, It really ranks”

Mac vs PC (2007). Mitchell and Webb fronted the UK version of Apple's TV campaign. As David Mitchell had all the funny lines it may have left viewers wondering if a PC might actually be a better choice.

David Chase didn’t just create a Mafia drama—he changed television forever and helped redefine what a TV anti-hero could be. From North Jersey to TV history, The Sopranos remains untouchable. 🔥

🚨 YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO - RICKY GERVAIS WAS A FULL-ON ’80s POP STAR Before stand-up. Before The Office. Before torching Hollywood - Ricky Gervais was the frontman of Seona Dancing, an actual 80's synth-pop act signed to London Records. Not a joke. Not a skit. Not AI. This was taken seriously at the time. Real music. Real major label deal. Did this stint accidentally set up one of the greatest comedy careers of all time?

Dave Chappelle mocks Charlie Kirk, dismissing him as just another online influencer. I’ve never understood why some people call Chappelle “the greatest comedian.” There’s nothing particularly special about his comedy, and it doesn’t come close to the likes of Ricky Gervais.

Before Ricky Gervais became a megastar with The Office, he had a short-lived Channel 4 show called Meet Ricky Gervais in 2000. In this clip from the series, he’s out on the street pretending to gather answers for Family Fortunes. He approaches members of the public with a clipboard and asks them the usual “we surveyed 100 people” style questions, except these are very much not the family-friendly ones you’d hear on the actual game show. 🤣 “The most annoying thing about the French?” “Something you’d steal from a lonely old woman?”
