David Brent, Gervais’ iconic character creation from The Office, is back, having returned for Comic Relief, a charitable effort which uses comedy as a vehicle for raising money.
This is the music video for Equality Street, a new song penned by Ricky Gervais, and featuring Brent alongside young rapper Dom Johnson.
Whatever you might think of Ricky Gervais — and I know several people who can’t stand the guy — he seems to have pitched this song just right. It gets a positive message across with humor, which is more likely to make people listen.
Oh, and it’s extremely funny seeing Brent react to and hearing him talk about minorities and acceptance. This is political correctness at its finest.
