Ricky Gervais haters

[Roach-Rampino]

For all of you that have no time for Ricky Gervais, I really think you should take 10 minutes to watch these two clips. The first isn't essential but gives a bit of background to the second clip.

If you've never seen his show "Extras" on BBC2, the character he plays "Andy Millman" has made it in tv by having the BBC back a sitcom which he wrote but it gets bastardised and he ends up hating the celebrity stauts he achieves as he feels he has lost his integrity.

The second clip is when he goes on Celebrity Big Brother. No matter what you think of him, I hope you agree he sums up the whole current celebrity scene pretty damn well!

First clip:

YouTube - Extras Stupid Question in The Ivy

Second (main) clip:

YouTube - Amazing Scene From Extras Christmas Special

I've never seen big brother, but anyone who's been on it and anyone who watches it is a retard...spot on Ricky.

I'm not a massive fan of his wittering on radio, but that second vid is a powerful scene.

[Clubber Lang]

I don't 'get' him, not even mildly amusing.

Give me Peter Kay any day.

GARLIC BREAD!!!

[MaKas]

I think hes absolutely hilarious! Hes just extremely dry. Loved that speech. Never ever seen him play a role like that before! good find

That ain't the fuckin Ivy! I've been there and unless there some private room upstairs, then it ain't the ivy!

Extras was great though.

I don't get the whole peter kay "garlic bread" thing though. how is he shouting garlic bread funny?

I think he's the best thing comedy wise to come from these shores in a long long time but i can see how he would go over some peoples head.

Second clip is brilliant. As someone already said, 'spot on'.

Thanks for posting.

Gervais in my opinion is a genius.

I actually really enjoyed Extra's and the BB scene was superb.

Gervais will certainly be talked about for years to come.
