Someone Must Be a Hardcore Martin Freeman Stan To Do This

You've seen the fantastic The Hobbit/The Office mash-up, right?



A rather brilliant person has taken chunks of dialogue, and a few other bits, from The Office and spliced it into The Hobbit. It’s very good.

When you see it, it’s obvious. The title character from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is played by Martin Freeman, who made his name in Ricky Gervais’ masterful The Office. That inspired Eagerbeaverfilms to put the two together to make one really good video.

As well as Freeman repeating his dialogue as Tim from the sitcom we also have Gervais appear as David Brent/Gandalf and even Keith turns up as Bombur.

But easily the best bit is the Gareth/Gollum character, which is exceptional.

Make sure you stay around for the credits too, which are Airplane-esque in their funniness.

did anyone notice Kili's nose change? like bilbo's dining room vs the rest of the movie. or am i just seeing things?
joyeuxcherie 6th-Jan-2013 02:44 am (UTC)
His prosthetic nose was a bit off the whole film or maybe it was angle and lighting?
caribou_cake 6th-Jan-2013 02:45 am (UTC)
idek. during the dining room scenes his nose was def more ~dwarf like and pointed, but like rest of the scenes it looked almost normal
adigallia 6th-Jan-2013 02:46 am (UTC)
I think the scenes in Bag End were some of the earliest scenes filmed (apparently you can see Fili's original actor?) so maybe it was an older prosthetic? I know there's a scene in the extended FotR where everyone's costumes are a bit off since it was the first scene filmed.
andromakhe001 6th-Jan-2013 02:53 am (UTC)
His nose was different. In the end they only used a very tiny bit of prosthetics on it, that's why it mostly looks almost normal. Aidan I believe called it a "sliver". But in a few of the earliest shots he not only had a full on nose but also some on his brow. The bit where he says "Mr Dwalin" is one of them and the bit where Bofur catches the thing in his mouth at the table and Kili cracks up laughing is another. There may be another scene or two but those were the ones that I noticed.

In one of the books they said the decision was made to go for bare minimum in the end because he has such fine features, prosthetics just seemed to overwhelm them. It sounded to me like they tried but they couldn't find a middle ground to make the prosthetics look work - it was either too much and covered him all up, made him look older and too similar to Thorin or almost nothing because the middle ground just looked unnatural and unbalanced.

is this gonna be one of those Freeman and/or Cumberbatch posts that turns into a dwarf party in the comments?

surprising? gurl, you should know by now tumblr will ship any two people if they have penises
eclecticmuse 6th-Jan-2013 06:44 am (UTC)
Are they seriously calling it Thilbo??? What the ever loving fuck.
magzness 6th-Jan-2013 07:24 am (UTC)

Martin Freeman has stans?
devolute 6th-Jan-2013 02:51 am (UTC)
it's only ontd that hates him i think, everyone else is riding that train. i actually like his schtick and i can see why people like him, especially if they've only seen his work and not his interviews, but he seems like a douchebag.
jaimelannister 6th-Jan-2013 03:28 am (UTC)
yeah, there's a girl i follow on tumblr who repeatedly tags him as flawless

and i'm like "really, REALLY?"
lilith20godrich 6th-Jan-2013 04:51 am (UTC)
Year ago ago in his posts here every second comment was "flawless human being", kid you not. Now people decided to hate him. *shrug* History repeats itself on ONTD.
