	BBC - Comedy: The Office - Character Profile - David Brent
		David Brent was the Regional Manager based at the Slough Office of Wernham Hogg.
		Sadly, despite giving his all to his work and to his staff, David was made redundant at the end of the second series.
		The cameras seemed to show a broken man when in fact David Brent was about to turn the negative into a resounding positive by launching his solo music career.

	David Brent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Brent is a fictional white-collar office middle-manager and one of the primary characters from BBC television comedy The Office, played by co-writer and director Ricky Gervais.
		Brent, recognizing this in Neil, quickly grows to despise him, and spends most of series two trying to one-up his nemesis at every point, most memorably with his jaw-droppingly bad dance routine in episode five (which he describes with typical false modesty as '...a fusion of Flashdance and MC Hammer shit').
		Brent is not 'the boss from Hell', however; for all his many unlikeable and contemptible characteristics, he is not without redeeming merit, and is largely depicted as a tragic figure, a lonely and sad man who places more value in his unrewarding job than he probably should.

	Chris Finch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Occasionally he turns up at the office, and when he does, the boss David Brent is ecstatic because, in his opinion, "Finchy" is a wonderfully charismatic wag who is constantly coming up with terribly witty remarks and rapid-fire repartee.
		He is also quite a bully, and most of his jokes are aimed directly at Brent to put him down in the cruellest way imaginable.
		Only Gareth Keenan shares Brent's admiration for Chris Finch, although it must be said that Finchy is inexplicably successful with the ladies.

		Brent is pursuing studies of genetic links as suicide indicators, as well as behavioral patterns, especially aggression, among relatives of suicide victims and attempters.

	Treatment
		Brent's proficiency with a bow started when he was a teenager, providing food for the family, because his father became a drunkard after the death of his wife.
		Brent is concerned about whether he will be able to pay the mortgage and for Zack's college, since the bank had demanded, under pressure, to call in the mortgage payment within 10 days, instead of in the fall, the way it had always been.
		Brent doesn't want to hear of it, telling Zack he was one person in the family that was going to get a college education, even if he had to work his fingers to the bones to make it so.

	Definition of David Brent
		David Brent is the boss from BBC television comedy The Office played by co-writer Ricky Gervais.
		One of the key aspects of Brent's personality is his complete obliviousness to how other people actually see him, and he lashes out strongly whenever people pierce his carefully built veil of ignorance (often by outright insulting whoever is nearby).
		Brent, recognizing this in Neil, quickly grows to despise him, and spends most of season two trying to one-up his nemesis at every point, most memorably with his jaw-droppingly bad dance routine in episode five (which he describes as a fusion of M.

	Brent fever hits Microsoft UK - ZDNet UK News
		Some industry watchers have also likened David Brent's infamous dancing technique, which he characterises as "Flash Dance mixed with MC Hammer Shit" with Bill Gates' classic November 1997 performance on the stage of the Harley Davidson Cafe in Las Vegas during the annual Spencer F. Katt party at Comdex.
		Whether or not Brent took dance lessons from Gates, Microsoft's spin doctors are unlikely to suggest Gates returns the compliment for his planned appearance on stage at Monday's "Developing Software for the future Microsoft Platform" event in London's QE II conference centre.
		The Brent video may, however unintentionally, do a little to help that reputation as the episode has proved a major PR coup for Microsoft UK: "We got on to page three of the Sun," said the source.

		Brent will become a name as emblematic for a particular kind of British grotesque as Basil Fawlty, but he is a deeper character.
		To compensate, Brent cultivates his pathologically mistaken image of himself as an entertainer-motivator-comedian whose stage happens to be the workplace.
		As for Brent, his own breakdown is prefaced by a moment of hideous hilarity--an impromptu office dance, a mixture of "Flashdance and MC Hammer" as Brent describes it, but in reality bad beyond description.

		But look deeper, and you see a rather lonely man, who lies to himself about how popular and talented he is. The truth about David Brent is that if you met him, you might chuckle at his comments because it’s polite to, not because they’re at all funny.
