A David Brent impersonator was invited to a wedding and it went as hilariously cringe as you’d imagine
As fans of The Office know, David Brent is a boss first, friend second, entertainer third. But is he a wedding guest fourth?
Well, almost. Tim Oliver isn’t the real David Brent, as played by Ricky Gervais in the much-loved BBC sitcom, but he is a professional impersonator of the comedy character.
You might have seen him on your social media feeds making appearances at corporate gigs, but he recently grabbed the internet’s attention by attending a wedding. And as you can see in this video posted by X account @screenrotpod, he’s got the voice and mannerisms down to an art.

In fact the only thing that’s missing is Brent’s awkward moves during the happy couple’s first dance. Although maybe that would be going too far. Either way, the internet laughed and winced in equal measure. Which surely means the impression was a resounding success?
me seeing someone’s job is being off-putting at weddings https://t.co/Wlu9xm5h5x pic.twitter.com/C6qWdTZ4GW

I went to a wedding that had a Gordon Ramsay impersonator. He looked more like Toby Jones and just walked around saying “fuck”. Embarrassing. https://t.co/0XTnCDf4fM

The real star of the video. Rocking up to a wedding wearing an Under Armour tee. Major league confidence. pic.twitter.com/tKCPS5SWtH

Best part is, some people don’t know that he’s a character people think he’s a real guest of the wedding haha!!!

The slow camera pan to him on the table is one of the funniest things I’ve seen.
