The video "The Cleaner" is a mockumentary based on the popular BBC programme "The Office". The video follows around a cleaner, Luke during an average day at work. Like David Brent, the manager from "The Office", Luke has an inflated ego and feels like he is the most popular member of staff. In reality, he is disliked by the majority of staff. Much of the video shows Luke talking to other members of the office, tring to share his humour with them. As in the orginal programme, all his attempts are unsuccesful and the majority end up with him receiving abuse.
The video is quite funny, especially if you enjoyed "The Office". The major problem with it is that some of the jokes are actually stolen straight from the orginal. An example of this is when Luke asks one of the other members of staff to make him a drink, and is told to"F*** Off". He responds by calling her a "potty mouth". This scene is an exact replica of one from "The Office".
All in all, I would recommend the video. However like many other Youtube videos, there is a lack of relevance. Also, if you want to see something original, this probably isn't the video for you.

Interesting choice to review - like you say, the guy doing it stays a bit too close to his source material. Why do you think the guy made the video? Is he an Office fan or is he trying to promote himself? Nice punchy review. It would be good if you wrote some more on here.
