The Office s07e14 review

Two worlds collided on the new episode of the Office. David Brent came face to face with Michael Scott. Jesus titty fucking Christ.

It was a great moment, even if it didn't really make any sense. Are there two documentary teams that followed to different paper supply company's, with very similar characters? Why is Brent in America? Still, Michaels face when David said 'thats what she said' was so priceless. It was good to give a nod to the shows origins, even if only for a brief moment.

What a world

ANYWAY the episode itself had some highlights, mostly Creed describing the Loch Ness Monster. "Two eyes, two ears, a chin, a mouth, ten fingers, two nipples, a butt, two kneecaps, a penis. I've just described to you the Loch Ness Monster. And the reward for its capture? All the riches in Scotland. So I gave one question: why are you here?" WTF, Creed?

The episode focused on Andy staging a 'grow you small business' meeting as a ruse to sell paper. The rest of the sales team thought it was a bad idea until it turned out some of the people who game had actual business. There were quite a few b-blots running through this episode - Erin playing scrabble with Gabe (helped my Oscar and Pam), Michael and Holly bonding over a vaguely raciest skit and Jim avoiding a childhood friend who he once called stupid. None of these were amazing, as far as the office goes and I can't think of many stand out moments apart from the very first meeting of Scott and Brent and that Loch Ness Monster speech.

SIX THUMBS UP

Why not watch David Brent in The Office: The Complete BBC Collection (First and Second Series Plus Special)
