Ricky Gervais
- Thread starter roxyfella
- Start date
your not picking the best example watching the diana thing are you really
Maybe not, perhaps his live 8 appearance would be a better example.
i dont really get all the hype, i think he can be quite funny. but his routine annoys me a bit
He gets on my nerves..........
Hes incredibly funny.
You need a special humour to really get him.
He's not Les Dennis.

Now then......Les Dennis...now you are talking, now he is funny. Lenny Henry is the funniest man alive, but you need a very very special humour to understand him.
The Office(UK) is one of the most funniest TV shows I've ever watched.
Extras is also very good.
Extras is also very good.
He's funny.
The Office was brilliant. Don't mind his stand-ups either
He's funny in The Office. Haven't seen him in anything else....
Extras is great too
he's alright but theres many people/programs far funnier
Who?
Ross Noble and Eddie Izzard for two
And the programs...
they're stand up comics - though Eddie has also been in a few films now (mostly straight parts) .
You could always have a search on you tube IF you wanted
most British comedies really
Ok. I was asking what programs are funnier than the office and extras.
Ricky and Steve are both very funny. Karl though is a genius.
Oh OK progs lets see:
Blackadder (2,4,3)
Black Books
Yes Minister/Prime minister
but I do like Extras and the Office - in that order
Funny in the Office and funny in Extras.
When someone makes you uncomfortable watching him,then he's funny.
Another example is Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasim. I fecking cringe watching him sometimes....funny as hell.

Spot on NJ, can't wait till Curb comes back
think roxyfella is being sarcastic here.....a dig at the "you need a special humour" quote of Murrays.
The office is so overrated its unbeleivable...yes its "clever", but the function of a comedy is to make me laugh...not just smile now and again after cringing for 20 minutes.
I thought Gervais was top draw but I'm led to believe he did 'that dance' at the Diana memorial...am I right?
If he did then I'm gutted....that 'gig' was a cuntfest of the highest order. I feel like I did when Ince went to Liverpool.

Izzard is great in The Riches.
The Office and Extras are genuinely good comedy shows. His stand up can be bloody hilarious at times, too. Poor bloke didn't have enough material for the Diana thing because Elton was doing feck knows what, so he had to improvise...which given the circumstances (being broadcast across the world and being on stage at Wembley stadium with over 60,000 members in the audience), he did bloody well.
He knows he could make serious wonga turning up to corporate do's and doing that dance time after time after time.
I just thought he was above it.
He's clearly not.
