  • poor steve 

  • "ah fa fuck sake"

  • * Claps * Brilliant stuff... i love british comedies so very much

  • i actually cried at the end. i actually cried. wtf.

  • WHAT!? THAT'S IT!? aw...

  • Maggie is just stupid.

  • "The lady on the pen?"

  • why didn't he just go after the meeting?

  • its all funny, but remember that kid has a massive inoperable brain tumor which will kill him within 6 months

  • @1337ontoast ha

  • Haha I love how the kid has a Green Day poster

  • I love how maggie says 'robert de niro', just love it.

  • haahah de niro so stoked on the biro

  • they got robert de niro! brilliant.

  • I love how Barry writes with the pen at the end.

  • the nurse at the end is billie mitchell girlfriend in eastenders

  • "What are you, critic?" a----I heart Rindsay!!!

  • D: His face at 0:31 </3

  • :( Why can't Ricky do another series of the Office and Extras... genius stopping them both after 2 series though, makes you appreciate it more.

  • @23MacEwan He's doing a new show called "Life's Too Short" starring Warwick Davis. Can't imagine it being that different to The Office or Extras. Should be good.

  • wohoo, next thursday at 9, another series of exactly the kind of costume-and-catchphrase driven sketch show this programme has just cut to ribbons. nice one, bbc continuity.

  • now it's my turn to operate - NERNER NEEEERRR NER - he's dead.

  • i'll text ya the dets

  • Unbelievable he has to find him wanking at work before he finally decides to fire him!

  • @PassionateMistress Pssh, that's no reason to fire him.

  • Why would De Niro want to meet up with the lead actor in a shitcom?

  • "*beep* dead, *beep* dead, *beep* dead."

  • "That'd be easy to get out; from what I've 'eard your tumor is massive!"

  • the kid's reading a VERY GOOD BOOK 2:04

  • @radomu1 Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. Just about recognised the cover design after reading your comment, you have a very good eye!

  • i love their relationship, it feels so authentic

  • De Niro lied. He actually did drive a taxi for several weeks before he started filming Taxi Driver.

  • i bet patrick stewart would've enjoyed that pen.

  • @2leftarms but he saw everything....

  • SUCH A PERFECT SHOW!!!

  • 9 people got distracted by wanking over the pen

  • Extras has finished but Catherine Tate is back...

    Its like telling a kid Christmas is cancelled, but dont worry you can celebrate Elton Johns birthday instead.

  • @Tom4Cheese Haha I thought the same thing, still, Mitchell and Webb were on next :)

  • that was sweet of maggie to still go to the hospital without andy.

  • oh my god, this is even more painful to watch than the first series...

  • 0:35 "ahh for fuck sake"

  • You are a man of the world...

  • omg green day poster in kids room!

  • cant believe deniro was actually in it!!!!!!!!!

  • Dead...dead...dead LMAO

  • ahhh for fuck sake

  • FUCK ME IT WAS DE NIRO!!!!

  • thats some of the worse split screening iv ever seen! lol. Isn't that half a door just cut off into a wall?

  • @Wrathasyth

    Yes, I saw it right away. Merchant wasn't actually in the room with DeNiro.

  • @whitexchina I really don't think it's split screened...look at the reflections in the table. Also Merchant hands De Niro the pen at 5:14

  • @Redler22 Same here, but i have to say i'm second guessing it because there is something strange about that part.

  • @whitexchina If you watch the special features on the DVD you see that they were in fact in the room together. Merchant couldn't get the pen to work, and he talks about how actually embarrassing in was to be sitting with DeNiro for so long while waiting for the nudie lady to appear.

  • @edisalle

    Ok, that solves the mystery. Thank you. Well I should go out and buy the DVD's I'm a huge Fan of Ricky's, Stephen and Karls work. So I should make them all richer. Greetings from Germany!

  • Comment removed

  • "Are you looking at me, I am now" LMAO.

  • lol barry and the pen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • *beep* "dead" *beep* "dead" *beep* "deep"

  • De Niro actually did a wanking scene where he was caught wanking to the pen in the bathroom at the club but it was cut from the original airing. Its on the DVD, he was spanking his cock like a little monkey.

  • Garry Shandling

  • do u wanna go for a pint lol

  • kinda of disappointing they split screened De Niro's part in this.

  • I'm kind of glad that this didn't end with Andy getting totally ridiculed, like in allmost all the other episodes, specially that Bafta awards episode

  • I'll text you the deets! HAHA !!!

  • It seems de niro and Merchant were not in the same room.

    They played the two scenes seperatly and it was put together at the end.

  • They should've finished this with Andy Millman walking in on Robert De Niro having a wank over the pen

  • @stephenbrolan he did actually film that scene, but they cut it on telly, its on the dvd though :)

  • He doesn't want to see you Robert

  • I'm here with Mr Robert De Niro. We're cruising down to a club. hahahahahahahahahahhaha

  • Brilliant missed one of the best comedy moments ever because of some officious little cunt at Channel 4.

  • @Gyphia That's what I thought

  • A BBC\HBO Production..... ARE U HAVIN A LAUGH

  • How is it anything to do with Channel 4? It's the BBC's, so isn't there anything anyone can say to YouTube about this nonsense of banning stuff on the basis of it infringing non-existent copyrights?

  • newdie ladie!

  • Gay Channel 4 removing part 2...

  • hahaha barry..legendary

  • Aw great, now I have the picture of Robert DeNiro wacking it to a pen in my head...

    jesus christ.

  • Cracking. . .

  • So fantastic! Wish it hadn't ended.

  • Barry wanking is just classic.

  • the guy from my family is brilliant in this. robert lindsey?

  • @ukulazy

    You should see him in Alan Bleasdale's GBH.

    Fucking terrifying!

  • 'd'you wana go for a pint?'

  • Now it's my turn to operate!

    *bleep*

    *bleep*

    *bleep*

    He's dead.

  • *bleep*

    dead

    *bleep*

    dead

    *bleep*

    dead

  • OMG that scene is too funny.

  • catherine tate is about as funny as that kid being in hospital

  • The De Niro scene seems to be a homage to Heat where Pacino/De Niro was filmed using the same angles as Merchant/De Niro to tease the audience.

  • aww maggie is so cute and sweet.

  • the christmas special wasn't a depressing ending, it was brilliant it showed that there are more important tings to mindlessley following fame... it was a great way to end it...

  • Comment removed

  • Legon wasn't talking about the ending, he was saying the show was a brilliant ending, which it was!. Your comments are possibly the most inane i've read all year.

  • Wow, you lot are idiots. I am talking about the fact that Gervais wanted this episode to be depressing to prove a point. I know it has a meaning and I didn't say it was a bad episode. Just saying that the things happening to Maggie and Andy were upsetting (depressing).

    I know it was a great ending....

  • No we're not idiots, we're just fed up of people moaning for the sake of it. Lets just agree it was one of the best spcials ever made.

  • No because I wasn't moaning about it for the sake of it was I?

    I was just commenting on the fact that Ricky deliberately made the characters situations depressing so he could show a meaning at the end.

  • @Legon1986 too right mate. christmas special was brilliant. and it just ended the story, making no need for anymore to be told! which is what a good TV show should do!!

  • it had a meaning though which was great

  • Were Merchant and De Niro actually in the same room? Just the way it was shot seems a bit...hmmm...

  • yeah they were

  • yh init it does seem proper akward lol

  • Yeah, apparently that was done deliberately. It kept the audience guessing is he/isn't he really there? In reality he was actually there, he really likes Gervais's work and agreed to do the scene.

  • They were, and Gervais was directing the scene, so while he didn't actually share screen time with his idol, he did get to direct him. That must have been amazing.

  • brilliant series ^^

  • Considering he only says about 6 words, probably quite a lot

  • I wonder what De Niro was charging by the word.

  • lol imagine Robert De Niro tossing off over the pen later

  • @JanineRobin "Are you wanking to me?"

  • woops i mean 5:08

  • 3:08 "ooh whats happened there!" lmao

  • finally! about time someone made getting caught tossing off over a pen cool... ... right?

    just hope that it's retroactive... and that my 7th grade biology class watches this episode.

  • I suspect they couldn't persuade Robert De Niro to do a wanking scene ;)

  • now that i'd like to see!

  • such a bittersweet ending...

  • i feel like andy should have fired darrel a while ago, like first episode

  • sorry, i meant darren

  • that's fine, don't let it happen again!

  • 4:43!!!!!! oh my God I had pause it

  • Umm, why?

  • thanks for the upload. what a superb piece of comic genious.

  • O yay the Catherine Tate show :/

  • :'( I want more :'(

  • That was really good stuff, stephen merchant's character is so funny and he plays him so well.

  • at 5:12 look at Stephen Merchants vain appear on his forhead (it keeps popping up)

  • Perfect ending.

    "I don't. I prefer that edgier stuff on BBC2."

    "What are you, a critic?"

  • lol she thought the game 'operation' was appropriate

  • Kind of the point of Extras.

  • argueing on youtube is a crime of life, you get 80 or so years and people actively seem to waste it e.g. by argeuing on here - people have different opinions, just accept it haha anyway - comedy gold

  • Oh my GOd!! Robert DeNiro looks soooo tiny compared to Stephen Merchant! Its reminds me of that parody with French and Saunders where Frodo and Gandalf are taking tea and Jennifer Saunders sits close to the camera to appear bigger. Except Merchant is 6'7" and DeNiro looks hobbit-sized next to him! so comical!

  • Barry was spanking the monkey aswell.... AHH HA HA HA HA

  • Ending is brilliant.

    I prefer that edgier stuff on BBC2.

    What are you a critic?

  • Which hospital is that?

  • why do you care

  • Johnny Cash is dead. Get over it.

  • i am over it. it never affected me ever! twat

  • it did me...uncaring basterd

  • St. Bartholomews in Birmingham

  • Ogie lol

  • "the cracking new lineup for next thursday's comedy" sounds fucking terrible (minus jack dee)

  • FINALLY! One that ends HAPPY!

  • what, is this the last ep??

    anyone please tell me..

  • Look for Extras Christmas special.  It's a final long episode - very good.

  • thanks .. i've watched US version only ..

    UK not yet ..

  • Have you ever driven a taxi for real?

    Genius!

  • Oh, for fucks sake!

  • "Now it's my turn to operate! ...he's dead"

  • Oh man... Robert De Niro and the pen

    Priceless

  • "Not in a bad mood, but hurry up.

    Dead. Dead. Dead."

  • "D'you wanna go for a pint?" LOL!

  • A lot of these posts just sadden me. How can such people be fans of such a great show?

  • what a horrible way to end....a new series of the catherine tate show....SHUDDERR!!....

  • Ha!

    Catherine Tate Show really is shocking.

  • 'oooh for fuck sake'.... lofl!

  • *Reads some of the comments...*

    *Facepalm*

  • loool when barry was wanking omfg !!

  • Lol @ poor Robert Lindsay.

  • LMFAO.. Funniest episode ever.

  • him not going to that meeting was cringeworthy =/

  • haha u clowns.. being gay is not a genetic difference. where did u hear something as stupid as that. it has nothing to do with genetics (i.e. there is no gay gene, its not linked to chromosome abnormallities etc etc). Scientists originally thought there "may" be some genetic link however after years of studies nothing has been found. and think about it.. if it was genetic, then the people with the gene wouldnt be able to pass it onto there kids (as gays cannot have kids) & the gene would die out

  • cpri032. there hasn't been found a "gay gene" but that doesn't mean that there is a genetic link. perhapse a combination of diferent genes which may result in homosexuality which are too complicated a pattern to work out. your comments are a tad unscientific as denying something before a proper conclusion has been produced, proven and accepted is just ignorant.

  • Argh; fucking shut up, the lot of you.

  • and believing/making up that there is a gay gene is also fairly unscientific.. dude there has been no evidence at all of a genetic link to "homosexuality", its supposibly nurture not nature. But i actualy couldnt care less to b honest ay, its not a pressing concern

  • "gays cannot have kids"

    How do you work that one out cpri032

  • wat i was meaning it is impossible for homosexuals to have children with each other. they can adopt, which wen they do there not handing down there genes to their offspring, and hence (this theory of) the GAY gene wouldnt b passed to there children and the gene would b removed from the population eventually. they could donate sperm/egg depending if there male/female homosexuals and use a donor to provide egg/sperm, in which one of the homosexuals DNA would b passed to the next generation....

  • however im not sure if the majority of homosexuals do do this (maybe u could fill me in), lik if a smal minority do this "the gay gene (s)" would b passed on to the next generation but each generation u would have decreasing numbers of genes (as only a minority are doing this), hence decreasing numbers of homosexuals etc etc.. which is clearly not the case.

  • of course gay people can have kids, you stupid cunt! and has for the gene being passed that is just by chance, like two dwarfs could have a person of normal hieight. you are too dumb to take seriously!

  • you are ridiculous. i am laughing out loud at your stupidity and your rudeness. would you, in biological terms, explain how a gay couple, male or female, can have have children???!!! how a man, for example, could impregnate a fellow man? blimey, there are some idiots out there.

  • you're joking, right? please say you're joking? nobody could be dumb enough not to know that biologically, homosexuals cannot produce offspring.

    i'm not being morally prejudiced or anything, but seriously?

  • R u retarded by any chance?

  • kinda.

  • americans are dumb. their comedy is shit and dull with little or no intelligent and deep factors. too wacky. britcoms rule. (u know im only playin america - u know i love u)

  • agreed my friend, agreed!

  • haha

  • how about some normal comments about the show now, rather than attacking each other? they do the awkward silences so well!
