Ricky Gervais’s popular TV character David Brent has his own Twitter emoji and fans on social media are lapping it up.
As the clock ticks down to the August 19 release of David Brent: Life On The Road in the UK, the emoji is the perfect way to mark the imminent return of Brent.
The official account for the film has tweeted a challenge to aficionados: animate the emoji and add music.
The emjoi has been created to evoke one of David Brent’s most famous moments – the dance first seen in Charity, the 2002 episode centred around Red Nose Day.
The reaction to #BrentsBack on the social media site has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans quoting Brent in their posts or just generally bigging up the emoji.

In Life On The Road, Brent is working as a sales rep for a company called Lavichem while he tries to launch his music career on the side.
