The Office - Closed For Business

Its crazy how many great moments the show had in such little time, I'm gonna miss watching the show

Josh sloan

I thought so 😅

Joshyboiiiiii

Whoa what about work tho?

Joshyboiiiiii

(Or Where's Wally? as a British person would say)

Jeffrey44

Well, I wasn't expecting it 🙈😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Marvel? 🤔 Gotta run to Google! 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, love it! My English friend has been saying the same thing for months now! 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

I love that these questions are now comunal! You guys are great. -- Well, I have always been a night owl, and I work at night, so I have gone to bed quite late all my life. Even when I had to wake up at 5.30 a.m. to get to school years ago, I would sleep at around 2 a.m.. Currently life has been a bit overwhelming so I can't sleep until about 4 or 5 a.m., so I end up waking up at around noon. I don't like getting up late, but it works for me. I don't do breakfasty foods, I wake up and eat proper meals, no matter the time. Lol 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Ok, harmonica on the 2nd beat, I'll agree to agree 🙃

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

I don't drink alcohol, so yup, just me being happy. My mom actually told me that everyone always thought my dad was on drugs when he never was. He doesn't drink either, so I guess that is where I get it from. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪 Lol

Mandy Cane Lane

Ok, that was all a wild ride! Jeehz. Why did you guys have to go to fetishes? Lol - Loved Paul's Google asking if I was ok comment - And no Josh, I would not like to know how or when I die. 😊

Mandy Cane Lane

Piano on the left, harmonica on the right ... 25:50 pretty much come in right from the start 😆 maybe your hair's making you deaf in the right ear 😄

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Hahahhaha! The music was so unexpected!😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahhaa, no. Who ever edited the video I watched started the music from the left channel first while Gareth was still speaking from both sides. That is why it freaked me out 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahhh, haha! I remember hearing that somewhere 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

My eyes are extremely busy, but maybe I can make them watch the David Brent movie 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

I did not notice him at all. Gonna rewatch and play a Where's Waldo type game. 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

I will expect a thank you shortly then 🙂

Josh Read

Thanks for clearing that up 😃 is all your audio coming out of only one headphone side* then? Doesn't seem right to me 😁

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

🐇🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmm... if it ever shows up on my feed again, I will watch. Trusting you Josh!

Mandy Cane Lane

Why were penguins junping to their death? 😭

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh, also you had music from both sides because my output is in stereo 🤙🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

I am an early to bed, early to rise kind of person. Haven't always been for the record, but for the last 10 yrs or so I'm usually in bed by 8 or 9 at the latest and get up around 3 or 4. I love the early hours of the morning, it's so peaceful and its like being the only person alive for a few hours. It also means i always miss Mandys videos drop and have to watch them in the morning. But keeping a good sleep schedule is really important for maintaining your circadian rhythms.

Feathers McGraw

Haha, sounds like a good innings! 😉

paul

I'm going to be shot by a jealous husband when I'm 92.

Josh Read

It certainly is a good thing. What other shows have you got lined up?

Josh Read

Omg Mandy getting scared by the music was cute and funny 🤣🤣

AWR93

Mackenzie Crook went on to be in the Pirates Of The Caribbean films, Martin went on to be in the Hobbit films and Marvel films.

JokerDanny

I feel like the writer of that article totally forgot the "That Are Actually Common" part of the title as she got into the weirder items on the list. Also, looks like Dutch girls no longer make the cut... sad times we live in now! 😅

paul

Well, it's 4.15 am, and I'm gonna have to love you and leave you (Not in a gay way) Sorry for hijacking your comment Josh😆

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Holy shit yes, the big TV episode😆

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Yes, that's a particularly grim one, although don't we have an episode of The It Crowd coming up before too long that's sort of based on that... 😉😆

paul

Number 20, I wish I never read number 20😐 That can't be a thing. Whoever came up with half of these should be in prison.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I like Number 14: "Spectrophilia refers to having a thing for ghosts because sometimes humans aren't worth it." What a sentence! 🤣

paul

I know, the top result is now 28 Sex Fetishes and Kinks That Are Actually Common. Number 8 is Orgasm Control whatever that is lmao.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Hahaha, too long and too out of sync due to Patreon being rubbish!

paul

How far we've come from the innocent days of 2001 when Brent could Google "sex fetish" and get a mere few thousand results, the top one being "Dutch girls must be punished for having big boobs!"

paul

There is one future I can see and that is Mandy's when she looks at this thread. I'm predicting she will be like...... https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/h4yt6.gif 😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I couldn't remember if it was Sweden or Switzerland where you go for the needle so I Googled it. Google asked me if I was OK lol.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

She's gonna get a phone call from Google HQ one day going, "Is that Mandy? We don't mean to be nosy but we've been looking through your search history and it looks completely mental. Are you ok? Is there anything we can do to help?" 😆

paul

Yeah haha, I can hear my sister now "It's always bloody something with you". I hope I don't come back after death, Knowing my luck I'll come back as me but fatter😂 I don't know where Josh's mystery man is getting all the information from but Mandy's always Googling stuff, just saying😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

As for what I would do, I would phone my loved ones, but unlike Karl I'd make it so that they actually answer my calls! 😂

paul

I don't think you can just go to Switzerland though, I think that's just trying to wiggle out of it in the other direction. I think once Josh's mystery man has told you your fate, that's it, you're stuck with it. To be honest, I'd want to know where this guy's getting his information from. And I'd have follow up questions like, "so what happens after we die then? Do I come back as a goat? Are there options?" 😉

paul

That's a bit dark. Keep it light Stevie🙂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Get some kip fella. I'm not as bad because I'm self employed so I pick my own hours. But on the flip side, I have no routine that isn't good for me.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

I need to be up in 3 and a half hours as well, typical 😂 I'm tired too 🤷

Joshyboiiiiii

OMG! How has no one ever mentioned the Stephen Merchant Lip Sync Battle!?! -- Also, I am great, thank you for asking, just overwhelmed with so much change in my life these last few months

Mandy Cane Lane

Ah sleep, I remember it well.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Hahhaha! I have so MUCH to watch, it is overwhelming, good thing I really enjoy the journey! 🤪😄

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh, I've never seen this. At this rate, we will reach a point where you are going to start educating us on British comedy. Thank you Mandy🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Interesting!!! 👀

Mandy Cane Lane

Aye, I get that. They do make a great pair for comedy though. Truly brilliant stuff!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahaha, it always trips me out when they pan sounds or music to only one side. 😅😅 and I too thought of the XFMs when he was talking about Romeo & Juliet 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Can't sleep so an early random question of the day and these are for everyone so we can all learn about eachother in the community. What's your normal daily routine? when do you wake up, go too sleep etc

Joshyboiiiiii

Certainly not making any accusations or anything like that, but I was surely getting some drunk vibes at times in this one. I'm guessing it's just Miss Mandy being all high on life again. 👍 good on ya.

Feathers McGraw

Is this a 'yes or no' question or do you have some inside info we'd all like to know about?... or not.

Feathers McGraw

Random question of the day. Would you like to know how and when you die?

Joshyboiiiiii

Well now I can cross "see woman get jumpscared by a harmonica" off of my bucket list! 😁 and I agree with you about Stephen Merchant, I don't think he gets enough credit. To me he will always be the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2 😎

DriveIn

Ricky can't drive, so he was in a car on the back of a trailer in that scene

Danny

It's great to see this again so many years on, having seen what became of them since and what they said here. Like Mackenzie Crook and typecasting. He wouldn't have known then about all great stuff he's done since - directing, writing, producing, on top of more acting. Top man. Also I agree with anyone saying about the David Brent movie needing your eyes 😂 Great reaction as always Mandy! 😁

Steve with a beard

Parent penglings

Josh Read

"Pingwin"!

ShhhTempo

Did you spot Robin Ince from the documentary series Living with Ricky [Gervais]? You would have seen him when reacting to the series too of course, but you'd not know who he was during that period of your life so those scenes won't have been notable at the time. Anyway, he is the guy having his photograph taken at 26:43.

Jeffrey44

Well, shiver me timbers!

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Mackenzie Crook is in Pirates of the Caribbean (or Caribbean as an American would say).

Jeffrey44

A carrot? Huh, well I never.

Jeffrey44

You should watch the penguin thing Mandy. It's not what you think.

Josh Read

yeah ... i would always help a animal , as long as its not at the detriment to another animal (minus humans , screw them things). maybe the penguin thing was when they jump to there death on purpose? or something like that ? , i would 100% help. 🕊️✌️

TheHigh

𝖦𝖺𝗋𝗒 𝖬𝗈𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗇

Mandy flipping the bird needs to be a thumbnail 🖕🖕 🤣 another great series finished. Looking forward to the next with the human ray of sunshine that is Mandy 🌞

Josh Read

David Brent Movie for Christmas would be a treat! 🙂

Alan Downey

Everything Ricky and Steve said in their interview segments for this was amazingly funny. Ricky's whole riff about Shakespeare had me dying laughing. All the interviews and behind the scenes stuff that Ricky and Steve did from this era (during their The Office and Extras years) was them at their absolute peak because it captures their XFM radio dynamic and how well they work as a comedy duo. Their later interviews together (post-Extras) were enjoyable too but it felt like all their conservations became so Karl-focused that you didn't have as much Ricky + Steve banter.

hasty rewrite

Really enjoyed this! I liked how the montage at the end brought out how many specific little physical gestures there are in The Office, I think that's a unique aspect of the show that doesn't really get talked about. I found the living with ricky shows a bit unpleasant. I just hope that they're somewhat "fake". They're from a pre camera phone era so I like to think there's an element of just "let's muck around and make silly home movies" rather than a true glimpse into the real Ricky. I laughed at his summary of Romeo and Juliet, which was very much in the style of his xfm film reviews. And that little delayed spasm you did when the music unexpectedly came in Mandy, lmao!
