The Office Comic Relief Opera

Postby James on Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:48 pm

Did anyone see the Comic Relief thing with Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais in it? I watched a recording of it earlier, but I can't find it on youtube yet. It was hilarious, there is a group trying to do an opera version of The Office, and Ricky Gervais is a ridiculous rock star type who travels around on a segway while Stephen Merchant mocks him for playing the same character in all his material... I want to watch it again!

What the bloody hell, I was out at the pub I work at getting drunk, reading the quiz and singing hilarious karaoke including the likes of Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf. I blew everyone's minds. But I can't believe I missed this!

Hahaha, the harmonies of 'assistant to the regional manager' were beautiful.

I got my first taste of An American Workplace this morning, no where near as good. I didn't feel awkward once.

So I watched the Christmas special to make it all good again. Beautiful ending, really. Touching.

The US Office isn't really about awkwardness anyway, it's just the sad/funny characters, the good acting, and the brilliant plot-writing.

I thought it was utter rubbish. It was the one where it's 'Davids' birthday. Yawnathon.
