Watching BBLB last night and thought it was hilarious as they showed Marcus moments with The Office theme tune playing in the background, I hadn't thought of it before but they are soooo right, the way he talks and the things he comes out with, he is a Hairy, wolflike David Brent. Anyone agree???:joker:

I copped on to it ages ago. Even posted a thread about it before Big Brother saw the similarities.

Oh, Marcus isn't a thicko.... but he doesn't have enough self awareness to realise what a prat he looks like. He's a very delusional man, just like David Brent was. This is him, and it's comedy gold.

We said that at home when we first saw him in the Diary room weeks ago! It's the voice and the stupidity...

Marcus is in there to entertain the public, he said it himself.

So i'm thinking like all these one liners, that he is playing the david brent character for a laugh..No one can be like that.....surely !!:laugh3:

I think that is genuinely him..... even when he was angry with Tom out in the garden on livefeed he didn't break once from his delusional ramblings. Did any of you see him in action on livefeed that night? There's absolutely no way you can put that on. I recorded the whole thing- comedy gold. He's just a fruitloop, like Tom said.

Yeah, I was watching L/F that night, Tom's reactions to him were hilarious too, I have to say I liked Tom after that he's about the only one who doesn't pander to Marcus, he just calls a spade a spade or in this case a loon a loon!!! TBH can't blame Tom for walking, I think he valued his sanity too much to stay!!!

I posted last month about the IT from the Office and it took BBLB until this week to copy it.

BBLB get a lot of their content from TIBB I have noticed. I expect a Hira special feature this week too.

Yeah, that convo must have been maddening for him..... I honestly don't know how he listened to half of it. Marcus didn't like him calling him up on his behaviour at all. I was quite angry that they didn't show more of it on the highlights. Some of it was absolutely priceless. I should write down some of the quotes before I forget them.

Nah Brent was a" chilled out entertainer" .... marcus isn't going for that " vibe" hehe.
Marcus reminds me of the army guy in Spaced.
