I literally hate these 2 guys and I even find myself hating people who think they are funny. 2 of the lads in work harp on about how genius they are but i think they are just as twastish as Gervais and Merchant.

DIE.

 

There are way more important things to worry about than something you can simply turn off!

 

Smug, arrogant tw*ts, who believe all their own hype

 

but they have made an absolutely brilliant programme, An Idiot Abroad which I adore until i hear either of those two spout ****e and generally act like maggots which totally ruins the programme.

 

LOL

 

They're on a par with James Cordon for annoying, egotistical, no where near as good as the hype surrounding them...*****!

 

Ricky Gervais is about as funny as a severe dose of the clap.

 

I have never had the clap so I wouldn't know

 

Neither have I, but you know *****. Well he has and he said it was unbearable

 

Extras is fantastic.....

Bettered only by Peep Show, IMO.

Both are great writers. RG had a hand, although uncreditted in making This Life.

They're showering in their success..........

 

I think they're ace :P

 

Cant stand them either, but Karl Pilkington is hilarious.

An idiot abroad was one of best series I watched on TV in a long time.

 

At first didnt like RG but think hes a clever bloke, mainly cos hes reeling it it due to the big boys thinking hes the dogs bollo xs

Steve Merchant, hes a funny and clever bloke
top in extras esp in the phone shop and is probably behind mosty of RGs success

 

If it wasn't for Gervais' laugh he wouldn't be too bad but the laugh is terrible. Merchant I have no issue with and prefer his dead-pan attitude to Gervais.

Karl Pilkington is very amusing. As he said last night, producers and broadcasters hang on every word Gervais says and will say yes to anything just because it is Gervais.

I think last nights episode shows just how contrived An Idiot Abroad really is but it doesn't detract anything for because I accept it as such - like when Top Gear do specials and try to make it look improvised.

 

They were only good for two things, The Office and Extras, with the Office being particularly good, with the training day being one of my favourite episodes, had me in stitches for hours.

 

both are tools

 

The pair of them are quite annoying.

Karl Pilkington is really funny.
Infact he reminds me of a scouser bloke I work with.

 

i tried watching one of RG's stand up shows on channel 4 once, he is one of the worst so called great funny men i've ever seen.

 

Tommy Cooper's doctor when Tommy said it hurt when he raised his arm said "Don't do it then!"

Good advice when you think about it.

Gervais is still living off the success of a character he once played, because everything he has done since the office has been utter, utter ****.

 

I love comedy, but I've tried and tried to see the humour in RG and simply can't find it The other guy seems to be a good writer, but quite why RG gets so much work I can't fathom

 

+1

 

Extras is better than The office.... Series 2 was pure genius.

 

I agree
Pair of total c****.

 

one trick pony.

 

So we're agreed?

Marmite.

 

+1

And their old Saturday radio show with Pilkington was hillarious

 

Having just watched the highlights of the Golden Globes last night, Ricky Gervais was quite funny.

"And here is ashton kutcher's Dad .... Bruce Willis.."

I remember (hard to forget after his 'special olympics & winners joke! ) seeing RG on the 11 o'clock show back in the late nighties ...& he was the best thing on it!

The Office ...absolute genius

Early XFM podcasts ...the 'introduction' of Pilkington ...as above

 

I HATE Gervais. I can't see what people find funny about him?

As for Merchant, am fed up with his voice on the Barclays TV ad's. Another reason to swap banks
