UK Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 As of late, I'm really getting into Extras and the 1st season of The Office. I've seen bothe of those first seasons, and will see the second seasons soon. Gervais (and Merchant!) have planted a milestone in comedy, not just in Britain, but internationally. Here's my fav part. It's from an episoade of the office when David works out, and goes to speak about buisness to a buch of ammetuers: David: Get out. Go on, go. I'm opening the door for you, so if you don't wanna make it, leave now, yeah? Good. it's so pointless, but David actually believes there is a point to it, and believes he's a 'fantastic' buisnessman for saying it. The speach is so crap, it's laughable.
Slaggis Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I don't find him at all funny. I get bored watching him, and his episode of the simpsons sucked.
Roostophe Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Every year a Gervais thread comes along and splits the forum in half, Love/Hate. I like him, as well as a few others. EEVILMURRAY wishes he was dead.
Retro_Link Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I think The Office is great! and certain episodes of Extras are really funny (I found the second series funnier)! Some of his stand up is very funny aswell!

Letty Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 dont find him that funny, but there was one thing I liked. I think it was on extras, and a singer piano guy(Davis Bowie?) made a song about him, which had the line: 'Pugg nosed face'
Slaggis Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 The ross Kemp one is my personal favourite. No way, the Dan Radcliffe one rules all.
Guest Stefkov Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I don't find him at all funny. I get bored watching him, and his episode of the simpsons sucked. qft. i hated the Office. It just wasn't funny.
jayseven Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I've not really seen his tv series, but i've seen a few of his stand-up thingums, like flanimals, and they're definitely funny.
Daft Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I liked the Office but I think the American version is actually a lot funnier. *dives for cover* Extras in good, David Bowie episode is the best! I hate him in everything else. All his film cameos are basically David Brent and if you want to see BRILLIANT stand up watch Eddie Izzard...Genius!
rokhed00 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Should've stuck to stand up really. His sitcom work, both acting and writing, is pretty dire.
Strider Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I despise the man. His Simposons episode was about as good as a blind guide dog (Crap) and i just hate the sound of him. His ego is huge, but i know what he really is, a huge cock!
martinist Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I burn effigies of him yearly on a bon fire
Haden Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I think the office will go down in history as a great show. However I think the guys a one trick pony and a bit of a ****. Wow thats censored? Really? Yet people can say fuck? Damn was hoping that would censor and it would be like a episode of AD whenever GOBS talking. I **** ed Kitty!
The Bard Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 "is a bit of a shit bastard." BEst possibele subtitle for this trhead.
Noodleman Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 The office was ok but vastly overhyped. Season 2 of Extras was actualy pretty funny, but it was basicaly the UK version of Curb Your Enthusiasm but CYE is 10000000000 times funnier. The Picard episode is the best one by the way. I've seen it all, i've seen everything. His stand up is about as funny as cancer though.

I want to know what was censored, we will never find out though
mcj metroid Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 i think he sucks. Do not find him funny especially in simpsons.
KKOB Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Personally i think Ricky is a ****, however, Extras is a fantastically funny show ^_^ The Office can suck my balls for all i care . . . i just don't 'get it' most of the time.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I don't find him at all funny. I get bored watching him, and his episode of the simpsons sucked. I feel that. Everyone was blowing their load over the fact that he was working with them. Instead it was what seemed like a shameless plub for plasma TV's and hearing his voice. I like him, as well as a few others. EEVILMURRAY wishes he was dead. My hate transitions time. I dont know how anybody could not like The Office? Its just realism/cringe comedy done at its best. It's certainly cringeworthy. Doesn't make it funny.
The Lillster Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I think ricky gervais is funny, especially that dance scence. Off Topic, who here thinks neogaf are wankers. p.s SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC, i RELALY HATE THOSE FUCKERS.
Haden Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I think ricky gervais is funny, especially that dance scence. Off Topic, who here thinks neogaf are wankers. p.s SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC, i RELALY HATE THOSE FUCKERS. Whats happened this time! What I meant to say was do you have a funny link to neogaf? Also I agree with what hobbzinio said.
That dude Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I love 'im and all others who really like his TV shows should check out the podcasts. Great stuff.
