在这部办公室笑云 第二季喜剧/剧情片中,《办公室》是一部艾美奖提名，获得金球奖与英国电视学院奖的一部英国电视喜剧，由Ricky Gervais与Stephen Merchant创作、制作并指导，Gervais担纲主演，并于2001年9月在BBC 2台首播。剧集的内容主要围绕虚构的Wernham-Hogg 纸业公司Berkshire（英国东南部温莎公爵堡所在的乡村），Slough分部的办公室员工的日常生活展开。虽然是虚构的剧本，剧集的形式却是纪录片，剧中人物都明确地知道摄像机的位置。
本剧持续了两季，每季6集，并附加了两个45分钟的圣诞节特别版。该剧不仅通过BBC全球电台如BBC主台，BBC美国台与BBC加拿大台在全世界播放，还将播映权卖给了全球逾80个国家的郭伯电视台，如澳大利亚ABC，新西兰TVNZ，和全亚洲卫星频道STAR World（基站在香港）。
本剧与稍候由Ricky Gervais与Stephen Merchant创作的社会讽剧《Extras》共享主题，Extras，意为社会粗陋面，演出人类生活的琐事：自我中心主义，狂妄，失意，绝望与名誉。
It's the day of the big merger. The Swindon branch has closed and several of the staff, including the new manager of the combined Slough Branch, Neil Godwin, arrive. Tim is comfortable in his new role as the senior sales rep while Dave and Gareth continue with their own wacky humor. Dave in particular puts his foot in it with his welcome speech of jokes and anecdotes that go over like a lead balloon. In the party afterward his racist joke leads to a complaint from one of the new intake as does his feeble attempt at humor about drugs, leading Jennifer Taylor-Clark to reprimand him.
笑中带泪。叫人心寒的喜剧。可怜之人必有可恨之处啊。冷笑话里的辛酸与绝望。
