The Ricky Gervais Thread

[The Filth Wizard]

Might as well give this a thread... with some discussion in the Peter Weller thread we might as well go for it...

Best Ricky moments, from the Office to Extras to Animals/Politics/Fame, hell, maybe he shone for you in Stardust.

And mods, maybe move the existing discussion from Weller to here, more relevant I think.

Are you avin' laff?

Without a doubt the episode of Extras with Ronnie Corbett at the BAFTAS, had me crying from start to finish.

Gold.

"They could see your head over the door".

The in-house training episode of The Office is possibly my favourite episode of any show ever.

"There's been a rape up there!"

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

In The Office, despite Brent having some belting lines, I think its other characters who have the best.

Gareth's 'sniper' impression involving the hand gestures comes to mind, as does the immortal conversations between gareth and the IT bloke.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

"There's been a rape up there!"

"Dogs"

"Say what you see, Gareth".

 

[roobear]

"But all farmers have wives"

"Not this one. He's gay."

"Well he shouldn't be allowed near animals then, should he?"

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

I agree that is probably the best Office episode.

There's that great moment at the end of the exercise about the chicken and the farmer and the fox needing to get across the river - "he shouldn't be allowed around animals" - when the facilitator says "Any questions" and Gareth just raises his hand. Utter gold.

I'm presuming most of you will have seen this, but it never gets old, especially his favourites.

"But all farmers have wives"

"Not this one. He's gay."

"Well he shouldn't be allowed near animals then, should he?"

Never gets old. That whole exchange is pure genius. "The fox is the natural enemy of the farmer"

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Definitely best ep of the Office... lets not forget, it also brought us 'Freelove Freeway".

Best ep of Extras? For mine, Les Dennis... if only for this:

fixed?

thanks mate

not sure what im doing yet

 

[The Other Dean]

Definitely best ep of the Office...

And you can put me down for another "yep" on that.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

While Freelove Freeway is gold, I would love to hear more of the song that appears briefly ebtween the anti-racist spaceman one, and Freelove.

The only line we get to hear is intriguing to say the least -

"She's the serpent that guards the gates of hell"

Over rated IMHO.

While The Office was very good, I reckon he's still to prove that he aint a one trick pony.

Extras was and is utter shite.

About 6 BAFTAS, a few Golden Globes, fasting selling stand up comedian in history dominating the US and two of the biggest selling Brittish sitcoms of all time (perhaps 1 and 2, not sure). Basically pioneered podcasting too, dominating that medium. Funny as ****.

Extras was and is utter shite.

No.

Can someone inbed the Extras clip from Celebrity Big Brother when he breaks down? That is my favourite Gervais moment.

Meh.

Forrest Gump beat Shawshank Redemption for the Best Movie Oscar.

Halle Berry has an Acting Oscar, Golden Globe etc

Doesn't make it right. Well aware of his success with podcasts (have got some original content of his which hasn't yet been published).

I like The Office. I like the American version of The Office. I didn't like Extras. 1st 2 episodes were enough for me to not come back for a 3rd taste.

And lets not forget the live show trifecta of Animals/Politics and Fame.

The man is a genius.

I have a feeling Lidge was very pissed off when Everybody Loves Raymond got canned

This is the finest scene of any TV show ever.

The guy is a hell of an actor, not just a comic.

What was wrong with Everybody Loves Raymond? Great comedy in my opinion.

Nyet.

But I also think that Fawlty Towers was over rated.

Ditto with Blackadder.

Bring it on bitch.
