The video, for which Gervais received a six-figure sum according to
The
Times, was apparently created in 2003 after the second series of The
Office finished.
The Microsoft video was uploaded to video sharing sites such as
YouTube
and
Google
Video.
YouTube has since
removed
the file at the request of Microsoft, but it is still available on Google
Video, split into parts
one
and
two.
The video, entitled Office Values, is hosted by Gervais's writing partner
Stephen Merchant posing as a Microsoft employee.
In the 30-minute piece, Brent offers himself for managing director of
Microsoft UK, in exchange for a £40,000 a year salary and a new Mondeo.
Brent also quips that it would be easier to talk to Osama Bin Laden than Bill
Gates, since he's a busy man and didn't make "his fortune by spending time in
meetings with idiots. I bet no one watching this has even spoken to him. It'd be
easier to talk to Osama Bin Laden."
The third series of the Ricky Gervais podcast launched earlier this week on
iTunes
and
Audible.
