Oizo , and had a small cult following in the the UK and France . In 1999 , Levi ' s decided to build a television commercial campaign around the puppet , to be directed by Oizo . The character was renamed Eric , a more " international name , " in contrast to the original French name Stephane . The original concepts for the initial ad was to have Eric ' s head get run over by a car giving him a flat head . That idea was later dropped , but the name Flat Eric stuck . Levi ' s hired The Jim Henson Company to build Flat Eric based on the original design of Stephane ( with some minor changes and upgrades ) . Mr . Oizo directed all the Flat Eric commercials and performed the music for the ads ( with his songs " Flat Beat " and " Monday Massacre " ) . He commented on the collaboration with Henson : The Levi ' s ads took three days to shoot . The original short films made with Stephane cost around 15 , 000 francs to produce . The two Levi ' s ads cost around two or three million each . Flat Eric was also featured in Mr . Oizo ' s music video for " Flat Beat " , and appeared as a prop in first season of the 2001 - 2003 original BBC comedy " The Office " . The rights to the character are retained by Oizo . Eric appears in a 5 minute spot promoting " Construction Site " . Diggs seemed very keen on getting his autograph .
