The Office: Kevin's Loan Online

Kevin's gambling debts are catching up with him and, despite Oscar telling him it is fraud, he decides to get a bank loan to pay them back. The loan will be for an ice cream business but Kevin's ability to present and inspire confidence sees the whole idea falling at the first hurdle. Kevin needs cool and confidence – enter Darryl.

Kevin's loan is another of the short webisodes that NBC put up between seasons of The Office to keep fans in touch. Having seen The Accountants already I must say that these ones felt a lot funnier and better because they did feel more like they could fit in with an episode of the show. The gambling debt device is perhaps a bit too serious for me to be totally comfortable with it being used (despite being downplayed as to its seriousness) but it does work for what it is and it allows the characters to do their things. And this is where the shorts work because both Kevin and Darryl are good characters that are fun here even if they are doing the basics in terms of story.

I laughed a couple of times each episode (which is good considering they are 2 minutes long including "credits") and also liked the sketch-like story across them. Well worth a look for Office fans.
