**Brad** : So, what did you die of? **Interviewee** : Leukemia. **Brad** :Leukemia? Isn’t there a cure for that? (looks over at calender, looks back at interviewee sheepishly) Oh, that’s next year. Comedy gold! ---

I love this! Where is it from? Or is it really just a Youtube release? ---

I stumbled across these a few days ago. They have potential but are still fairly clumsy in execution. ---

I just found it today myself. I like it. "What’re they doing? Filing prayers. I don’t know why we even have this department. Nobody even looks at them." And the sex harassment tape was great. ---

Hmm, dunno, the concept is good, but there are not many funny moments in the episodes. The only slightly funny thing in ep 3 was the shark that could walk on its finns. ---

[/QUOTE] I think it is a hate it or love it deal. It is a dry type of humor like the Office (more the original Office than U.S office). Very British. I personally like it and think it is better than the Original Office. ---

I personally like it and think it is better than the Original Office. [/QUOTE] I don’t hate it, and I liked the UK office. I just think they should think of funnier stuff. In episode 3, what was supposed to be funny? Someone taking gods lunch and making a new one? The angry secretary? The zinger about drinking less protein drinks? ---

They’re desperately in need of a gaffer, but it’s edited well. ---

I like it. Actually, I think it would make a really good television show, because it has a great premise, according to the creators: “A comedy about life in the corporate offices of God. What if all the problems on earth were not caused by a spiteful deity, or karma, or fate, but just office politics and the Peter Principle?” Of course it would immediately be considered blasphemous, and canceled, but I think it could be a funny half-hour show. ---

[QUOTE=light strand] Of course it would immediately be considered blasphemous, and canceled, but I think it could be a funny half-hour show. [/QUOTE] That’s why it could never be on network TV (look at what happened to God, The Devil, and Bob and The book of Daniel.) Cable TV, on the other hand…
