Life's Too Short

Post by Eboue-Why? »

I know Gervais is not liked by a lot of people but if you are a fan of his work, then this new series is another winner. People are saying it's cruel but would the little man do it if he didn't want to?
The humour is the same as The Office and Extras but last week's episode where he did the best man's speech in the teddy bear outfit was brilliant.

Love it :barscarf:

Like most peole I loved the office, but the more I see of Gervais the more I dislike him. Seen him being interviewed recently and he is a conceited, little "hollywood name" dropping twat.
As for the new show, I gave it about 5 mins, and came to the view that it was old hat, so switched off.

Self-serving pretentious *word censored* who seems to love taking the piss out of others but cannot take a dig back.

How can he say this programme has nothing to do with the fella being a dwarf but then takes the piss out of him for not being able to reach the doorbell?

Unfunny because 1) it is from the mouth of Gervais and 2) we have done better dwarf/DB10/BG jokes on here.

8)

exactly the point, tired old stuff. Warwick is just playing another David Bent. Watch the comments at camera when he's being dug out etc. Gervais is a one trick pony.

Idiot Abroad was excellent due to Karl Pilkington and nothing to do with Gervais who was acting the bully.

His stuff was funny first time round but it's getting boring now.

First episode was a bit poor, second was much better.

"You could dress up as a little girl to catch paedophiles" :coffeespit:

The dopey secretary is actually the funniest character I think. The endless cameos from Gervais & his celeb friends are kinda tiresome though.

loving it, the 2nd episode was so funny, especially the reporter interviewing him, him dancing to lord of the dance and standing in a toilet and also at the wedding in the bear suit

you can tell when warwick talks and acts, it's Gervais at work - Ricky comes across as a smug wanker, but i think he deserves it - virtually everything he has touched has been gold

Oh I agree, Davis is another Brent but I think he's pretty good and funnily enough I still find the glances to the camera amusing. The reporter last week was top stuff.

Gervais is a smug *word censored*,who sniggers at his own jokes like a pre-pubescsent girl!!!
The Office was good,but it was the "supporting" characters that made it!!!
An Idiot Abroad is crap too!!! There are actually people at work who think that Manc twat is genuinely unaware of what is going on!!! :shock:
