* DesignatedVillain: Jezza is villainized for finding Nigel and David's constant disrupting behavior and racist jokes irritating. Downplayed in that the way he goes about it is very abrasive, plus he has a KickTheDog moment when mocking David for his tour not succeeding.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Some Series/TheOffice (UK) fans ignore this movie due to the lack of involvement of Creator/StephenMerchant, the lack of any other characters from the show other than Brent and the film adding little to the Brent character that wasn't covered in the finale Christmas specials.
* ContestedSequel: ''The Office'' co-creator and co-writer Creator/StephenMerchant had no involvement with the film; it also didn't help that it was made at the height of a backlash against Creator/RickyGervais, whose character was the only one from the series to return.

Lost Aesop is not YMMV.


* LostAesop: Here Ricky's "Ho Lee Fook" joke is presented as the apex of comedy and his love interest genuinely finds it funny, when the whole point of the original XFM skit was to parody how tired and cliche the joke was, as well as perform a TakeThat to Chris Moyles for relying on such unfunny and racist material on his own radio show.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: David's publicist. Did she try her best despite being doomed to begin with due to her client being a hopeless case, or was she [[{{Rainmaking}} fleecing him for a sucker and not particularly concerned with where the chips fell so long as she made a few quid]] and got off with a guy or two?
