Ricky Gervais is facing criticism following comments made in an anniversary video marking the 25th year of *The Office*. Multiple outlets report that people object to how the video references the show’s creative origins, with criticism focused on claims that a co-creator is effectively omitted or treated as if they did not exist in the context of the anniversary tribute.
Other coverage emphasizes that the anniversary content includes remarks from actors and reflects on the series’ legacy. Several reviews and retrospectives also look back at *The Office*’s impact and how the show has been remembered over time, including discussions of its cultural influence and continuing relevance.
While outlets differ in emphasis—ranging from the specific dispute over who is mentioned in the anniversary materials to broader assessments of the tribute and the show’s enduring appeal—overall reporting centers on the 25th anniversary media release and the public reaction to the portrayal of the show’s creation and legacy.
