People Are Sending Each Other Hilariously Random David Brent Quotes

BBC/The Office

Did you receive a strangely inappropriate text on Valentine’s day? Well you probably have Ricky Gervais to thank for it.

On Sunday morning, the controversial British comedian called for his followers to send their mates or mothers David Brent quotes.

He put out the rallying cry on Twitter and it didn’t take long before he had some returns.

After I sent my mom a David Brent quote, she called me because she thought my phone had been stolen. #TextLikeBrent pic.twitter.com/LWMVhRNZa9

One guy deviated from the task with a #KeenanQuote and, quite frankly, the reply was disturbing…
