Stephen Merchant 24 Cameo

[TalesOfTheSky]

brilliant

[muckyfrigger]

"money for old rope!" Stephen Merchant doing what he does best, with the money he made from that I heard he bought a tin of HEINZ beans that week instead of Tesco basics.

[cridantis]

Absolutely brilliant

[Dynoste]

Jack Bauer needs 24 hours. Steve Merchant needs 3 seconds.

[Mayna00]

Wow, I was so immersed in the character that I only just realized it was OUR SMERCH!

[shanustheanus]

Breathtaking - The Sun

The Most Stable Performance on T.V - The Daily Telegraph

Merchant is the most awe-inspiring talent, and an under-appreciated genius - The Guardian

Who is Steve Merchant? Does he have an answering machine? - News Of The World

[ChairmanOfTheBoard42]

I smell an Emmey nomination for best supporting actor....

[benrygale]

I can imagine Ricky drawing a massive cock on that paper too make Steve laugh! XD

[WGMindless]

Brilliant acting, just look at that emotion.

[PriditProductions]

One of a kind performance.

[FlorkinsontheGreat]

I'm confused. :S

Why wasn't Steve on the front cover of the boxsets?

[omgnotaflake]

I had to watch this over twice before I could really appreciate the subtle artistic brilliance

[Carodacat]

Best performance I ever saw

[Masta200]

LOL I never noticed this before.

[tomthefunky]

"An emotional rollercoaster of a performance"- The New York Times.

[Dynoste]

He's getting a '24' spinoff called '3 seconds'.

Basically each episode goes for between 2-4 seconds. Quality over quantity is what Stephen Merchant always says.

[LauritZenc]

He shags Rose Byrne, lucky twat.

[KittiMitties]

@LauritZenc Rose is the lucky one good god

[LauritZenc]

@KittiMitties No, she really isn't...

[ColdShaunUK]

Absolute Genius, how does this guy do it?

[johanneswiberg]

He actually managed to get some of his telltale dry humor in, despite being on screen in less that two seconds. Classic.

[themaypole]

so moving, STEPHEN MERCHANT TAKES PAPER WITH AN ACCEPTING MOUTH TWITCH IN SPACEEEEE

[AnalRetard]

Das lanky piss n' streak.

[TheVideoAnalyst]

BUH DUN DUN DUH.

[teamstarpug]

Can anyone explain just why he is in this?

[liloakie69]

What a beautiful performance :')

[Dynoste]

he stole that episode

[666daveo]

i heard his getting his own spin off show

[jpshuijb]

I cried, I laughed, bravo Stephen

[Drybones01]

he did it all wrong! he should have taken the paper ripped it and said 'f this...i'm going to be a voice actor for a famous game in a few years...'

[abbadeen]

Talent, pure talent. it took years of acting to do a perfect scene like that. :D

[tylerPdorian]

grrr.... why didnt they give him a full time role on 24? he would have made a great partner for jack bauer

[onree317]

At his best

[jgrew030]

I wonder if Steve had to perform his own stunts

[csqw]

I feel a spin-off in the making...

[Dabs84]

It has, sort of, the pointiest eyes. Eyes that pop out of their head ...

... Steve.

[Dabs84]

Das freaky goggle-eye! Das lanky pissen-streak!

[JerichoJames]

@Dabs84 See the freak!

[FranBMan22]

They need to bring Smerch back!

[durster2006]

loooooooolll

[beatlesgervaisbowie]

I am currently laughing my head off, I don't what's funnier, the video or the comments?

[TroutMaskReplicaa]

That's our Spud; not the leader but a reliable member of the gang.

[kkurrukk]

@TroutMaskReplicaa I hear he can eat three breakfasts in one sitting.

[Kullg4r]

I hear a good director can really bring out the goggle-eyedness in an actor. This is proof.

[ChainsawVsGod]

Man Alive.

[12345l6789]

he was hoping it wasn't a bill.

Straight off to Benji's with his pay check too.

[TheConciseStatement]

They cut his only line where he studies the receipt she just gave him.

"£5 for a stapler?! FUCK OFF!"

[themaypole]

Aw poo Smerch, I'm a KP Nut 2008 - 2010

[skelt93]

@themaypole you got nothing on me 1998-2010

[themaypole]

@skelt93 Well I wish I could have understood it at 4 years old but alas no

[StereoTypeA]

all these cheeky comments....lol

[winters0123]

Robert de Niro, best actor in the world? Pah, I think not.

[SwedishBlacks]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA That was so much better than I imagined it, go on smerchy

[TheGoldTitan]

Stephen Merchant doesn't actually need glasses, it's just method acting in preparation for this role.

[NeonTiger94]

[BGH122]

[ryanlaing]

blair - the game

[caustic77755]

left me in tears

[lucelli1chivas]

Did he say anything? I couldn't tell.

[hypnamog]

and does he say "ribbit!"?

[gardner900]

what a talent.

i heard he did that in one take, too.

[Mostaroinjapan]

When I first watched this on DVD I thought "hang on, was that...? Naaah" and I didn't bother playing it back to check. Then I read later that he was actually on it, my original hunch was right!

[jennitamar]

lmao ive heard him mention this so many times but never saw it. brilliant!

[s3ansk1]

lol...i settled down with a hot mug of soup to see this.....1 word too quick

[Geffen111]

Was it a 'hug in a mug'?

[nobrakesukspeedway]

so..

he flew all the way to US,

spent 6 hours in make up,

stood around for 4 hours..

waiting for a 3 second, 2 bit part?

man alive steve.

[Swoooze]

I somehow managed to miss this little cameo the first time round. Then I found out that Gervais was in a deleted scene too. Steve got on the actual show though!

Awesome.

[Flighn]

IS THAT IT??

HAHAHAHA!!! Poor Steve.

[Geldric]

Course, nerdly goggle-eyed giant radiating behind an electric glow. Brought him out of his cave for this did they?

[edwatom]

What episode is it?

[DanielThomasDTR]

I KNEW IT!! i thought i was crazy when i saw this.

[starcraft108]

oscar nomination

[Meda01]

cool, I hadn't even noticed when I saw that episode.

[cinevita]

Two words: master class.

[benjula2006]

that piece of paper is his bitch.

[wormo88]

Absolutely bloody beautiful!

[chriscarra]

Great, he is in line for an award for that breathtaking performace. Top Class!

[Durzel]

You can't teach that level of acting proficiency, you're either born with it or you're not.

[DrLemur]

Best paper grab. EVER.

[luminol77]

Genius!

[dionath]

HE'S BRILLIANT IN THIS ROLE!
