<3 Ricky Gervais

Sorry.

I thought it was horrible. There's a fine line between being funny and being nasty.

That line was WAY behind him.

Yeah, some people maintain "funny and nasty is still funny" -- but it's also NASTY.

Gervais is capable of being quite funny, but he is also capable of being not nice.

Personally, I like nice and funny.

"Right, now ya bunch of cunts, I hear one of you lot shagged a couple of little boys up their arses, and this envelope contains the names of the suspects."
:guffaw:


The thing is, this is Gervais' comedy. I don't get "I like Ricky Gervais but this was too much"
I take it said people have never seen any of his four stand up shows?
Jokes on Nazis and Anne Frank, Grandad Charlie and his "magic hat", and one on wanking off to Schindler's List for example.
The whole faux-offensive act (the uncaring character he plays) is what he does best, dating back to The 11 O'Clock Show
 
I say they get Frankie Boyle to host it next year. Then the US will learn what acerbic, mean spirited, spiteful, hate filled, evil comedy sounds like.

:devil:

(Not to mention he'll be funnier too).

EDIT: Just read up thread. Fuck! :D

Actually I suspect they'll take the safer option and opt for Russell Brand. :biggrin:
 
Is Katie Perry's grandfather a respected 70's sitcom star?

If not, then I doubt the states will get his stand up :P

Exactly, this is Gervais' act. He does it so often I wonder if it's just him wrapped in the cloak of comedy, but you can't like his stuff and think this is just too much, because this is everything he ever does.

Is Roy "Chubby" Brown still available?

Perhaps he could do some of the entertainment, too. Perhaps sing "How can I say I love you when you're sitting on my fucking face?" and "I'm a cunt".

Great, now I have "I'm a cunt, I'm a cunt, I'm a C-U-N-T Cunt, I'll sleep with your granny and bite her fanny cos basically I'm a cunt" going round and round in my head.
 
This wasn't as edgy as Ricky gets, I think this was Ricky pulling some punches in light of his present company. It was still funny to me, and I enjoyed it very much. I love Gervais anyway, and have been a big fan of his for a couple of years now, and I just think he's the bees knees.

Are you commenting on his name, his appearance in the series or my inability to get that song out of my head?

Also, Hello to David Morrisey.

Yes. To all of them. :D

and Michael Sheen.
 
You know, I very nearly said "Hello" when Lucius Malfoy appeared on screen when I saw HP7a.
They commented last year that one of his films, possibly Green Zone, bearing the credit "and Jason Isaacs" was arguably the closest that cinema itself has said "Hello to Jason Isaacs." :lol:

I only started listening late last year, after remembering a recommendation from one of my doctor a couple of years back, wasn't you by any chance was it? But I wish they had more podcasts available, I think I only have from September.
 
I had to google that, as I had confusions. I'm so out of the loop....

You have to listen to the Mark Kermode And Simon Mayo Film Review, it's absolutely brilliant.
I used to, but lapsed.

So you don't know you're supposed to say Hello to Jason Isaacs, David Morrisey and Michael Sheen then? And you don't know about Eat, Pray, Love, Vomit. Or Parasnoremal Activity 2?
