Ive always thought that if you feel embarrassed while watching it then Gervais and Merchant were doing their job. Brent was always a character that you were never meant to like but maybe still feel sorry for throughout. He was irritating and completely clueless when it came to getting the approval of everyone around him. I dont think you were ever meant to hate him Theres a lot of people ive spoken to who have told me they dont like The Office because Ricky Gervais is just too annoying in it and I wonder whether they really get it or not.
