Do you think that The Office (2001) is a rip-off of the office fly on the wall sketch from The Day Today?

Can't remember the Day Today sketch well enough to say. I guess no though.

Has anyone actually seen the sketch that Mr Badhead's referring to or are you all just saying "No" because everyone else did?

There are (ahem) some DEFINITE similarities. Fast forward to 10:37.

I assumed that was the sketch he meant and no, I don't think The Office was a rip-off of that sketch.

Fair enough.
