Hiya Mandy, Ok, I’m late here too, and you’ll have forgotten context, so here’s all the context you’ll need: 2:01 Gareth mumbles: “Orienteering for the TAs” Orienteering - a competitive sport in which runners have to find their way across rough country with the aid of a map and compass TAs - Territorial Army Inconsequential, I know … 🤷‍♂️ 4:40 Brent: “Trust people and they’ll be true to you”, Mandy: “No!” Brent: “Treat them greatly, and they’ll show themselves to be great”, Mandy: “No” Yes, Mandy. Yes. If I asked you: “Please water my plants while I’m gone” and followed it solemnly with “I trust you”, wouldn’t you feel more compelled to be true to my wishes, after I explicitly place my trust in your hands? I know I would. The pilot’s just had a heart attack! Should I trust you to take over the controls and land the plane? Probably not, you’ve not mentioned any aviation experience, so you’re probably not qualified, it would be disastrous 😀 doesn’t qualify as trust, that would be blind faith. And as to greatness, belief is a powerful thing, “fake it til you make it”, If I treat you with the greatness I believe you have, I know you’ll show yourself to be great, and you’ll start to believe it too, Mandy. “Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” - Mark Twain I could also add “Trust like you’ve never been let down” Here, have one of these 🤗 How can I be so sure, you say? Common sense? Intuition? Well, I did a quick google search and confirmed it wasn’t “Brent” wisdom, he was quoting Ralf Waldo Emerson, a great man who I trust was more qualified in such matters 🤣 17:30 Brent: “You’re having a laugh, saying that” I’m getting “When the Whistle Blows!” Vibes off that 😀 Practically the catchphrase, “is he havin’ a laff?” 19:40 That is Tony MacMurray, he doesn’t have an imdb profile picture, and you’ve probably *not* seen him in anything 😀 21:05 Keith, completely oblivious, the last guy at the restaurant finishing off his food - everybody staring at his plate, itching to break away from the awkward silence 🤣 I’ve stared at a few plates myself lol 27:00 Gareth’s conversation with the new girl, Rachel - instantly sackable 😖 Let met tell you, it was not half as cringey as I remember, maybe because I was pausing it every couple of minutes to make notes 🙂 On to the next one! Thanks Mandy G

I'm finally catching up on The Office, and just when you thought it couldn't get any cringier, there's another episode! But are you enjoying the awkwardness? Also, you should read a comment I left on your 'This is my... Aubrey', wilty clip on the regular YT channel (if you haven't already). It's just a bit of history, but I would almost go as far as calling it my magnum opus. Also Also, my birthday is coming in March and was wondering if you had or would consider doing birthday requests? (just specific reactions of course, nothing weird) Pretty bloody good idea hey! Yeah I know. 🤪 but seriously though, just a thought. Continuing to love your work, here's to many more years of Mandy Cane Lane!

Joshyboiiiiii

Poor David ☹️ dawn's been an idiot, she can't be annoyed that Tim's tryna move on from her

Joshyboiiiiii

Whoa straight away do we know your name? Is your name actually Miranda cane lane cause I doubt cane and lane are your middle and surname 🤣

Joshyboiiiiii

Oh it's 00:15 so random question of the day. What's something nobody else knows about you that you're willing to share with me? If not in the comments dm me it 😂

Mandy Cane Lane

🤣🤣🤣

James Aston

His mother must be half blind 😅

AWR93

True, I think they’re just badly done 😅 maybe he did it himself 😂😂

Mandy Cane Lane

Yeah, if you are with someone and have doubts about being happier without them, definitely not the right person for you!

Mandy Cane Lane

But his bangs end in a point in the front and back. I thought Bowl Cuts were more rounded. 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Same! They managed to make everything worse 🙄

James Aston

A legitimate hair cut in the UK in the 90's

Rusty Dog

Cringe factor 9! Your expressions when Gareth said "If you expect me to go down there..." was priceless. No words were necessary :) The whole Dawn thing with Tim, she's really feeling stuck in limbo I think. But if he's feeling like she is, then the relationship she's in, ain't right. Thanks for making the evening brighter, on to your YT video now...

AWR93

Also Gareth’s hairstyle is called a “bowl cut” 😅

AWR93

This Patreon change has messed with my head 🤯

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA! I don't see a problem here 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, I thought he was flat out lying and was actually 43 or something 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! I actually do remember that 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! I love coincidences like this. 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you Josh! 🤗🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank YOU Stevie!! 🤗🤗🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha very true Mike! Same vibe! 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Interesting. I have seen videos of people in wheelchairs getting stuck at the top of the stairs in emergency situations and being told to stay there and wait. I imagine if it were a real emergency like a fire, if someone is strong and able, maybe carry the person down without the chair?

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahhh! Ok, got it. I knew I was in the wrong but my mental rolladex brought up Sigourney Weaver so I was extra confused 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

They made it so much worse on my end too! Replying to comments is a mess and everything is just less organized. I don't like change 😭

Dextrous (Lewis)

Under 'strengths' you've just put 'reactions'... That's your job, though, that's just... Under 'weaknesses', you've put 'kittens'

Dextrous (Lewis)

Ayy a fellow Rammstein fan 🤘 Not a fan of the new layout, if you follow multiple creators then it's harder to sift through posts in chronological order

Squeesher

I don't know, let me check. ...Uh-Oh

DriveIn

The message on the computer screen says "It's now safe to turn off your computer" - back in the days of Windows 95, Windows didn't actually turn your PC off. Instead it just unloaded itself and then you had to turn it off manually. Also as a 39 year old I relate to David Brent - we're both in our 30s 😂

Jeffrey44

You won't remember but in the old days, when Windows 95 was the Windows to have, you didn't just turn your PC off and go to bed. You had to go to the Windows Start menu, select Shutdown and then wait for some number of seconds before Windows displayed orange text on a black background telling you "It is now safe to turn off your computer". You'd then need to turn your PC off, with a bloody button. That's the message you saw on the monitor. You youngsters don't know how good you have it with your modern power management settings.

Tony Mingoia

Hey Mandy! This is a well timed episode for me. Genuinely, about 3 nights ago, I woke up in a panic that I'd completely forgotten to do the staff appraisals I was told to do when I was manager of a record shop. I didn't do a single one in 5 years. That was over 20 years ago! I don't suppose it matters now, if it ever did! 😂

Z is for Zed

Like getting a dent removed from a car that's on fire.

Craigid Dave

Agreed

Jeffrey44

I'm fine, Josh. Thank you for asking (Now ask again, I think that's what you are meant to do as everyone will say "fine" as their first answer without really thinking about it).

Michael Harrop

Hate this new layout so much!

Josh Read

This certainly is a very cringey episode isn't it. It must have been hard to film. Great reaction as always Mandy.

Josh Read

Good for you for asking 👍 I start a mental health First aid course at work next week, which will be good. Things OK with you?

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

All good in the hood as they say in the Bronx, hope you are well sir.

Jeffrey44

How is everyone's male mental health and prostate today? Well, I hope.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Good episode and another great reaction. Thank you Mandy 🤗

Danny

The one you thought looks familiar , I always thought looked like Julian Clary, who you saw in WILTY, it's not him though. No idea of his character name, I don't think he is even credited with a character name

Mike Miner

The "don't know" scene with Keith's appraisal reminds me so much of the "guards" scene in Holy Grail. The simplicity and timing... so good.

Danny

As mean as it came across with leaving the woman in the wheelchair on the stairs, I believe that is what to actually cdo in tall buildings. I know in the college I went to, that was about 4 floors, and on the stairs there was a designated square on the stairs to leave disabled people. Then a firefighter or whatever would retrieve them. I guess , as mean as it may come across, it's to not slow people down as shown here. I know in a real emergency I was told at college by the head of health and safety that they had some kinda fancy chair that had like skis on that you can put people in to get them fast down the stairs. Of course here though it was used for comical effect to show Brent's character

Danny

Sidney Poitier was a very famous black actor, he passed away last year. He played the lead role in a lot of highly regarded dramas and crime movies. Brent is just pandering to the black guy 🙃.

Danny

Every time I come on here the layout seems to have changed! I had to verify my email to post replies and add some profile info when I went to my profile settings. The embedded stuff works on some other Patreon pages I sub to, so must be a source issue
