[alexandria2224]

Gervais/Merchant - great ideas for shows.

[alexandria2224]

I dun git it eyether. The only sitcoms I watch in USA is "King of the Hill" and that is animated. Once in a while I'll look at "Two and a half men" I like the theme song better - "men men men men manly men men men." It's catchy like "When the Whistle Blows" theme, but moreso.

[dublintimmy]

The outtakes for the Xmas special are great too. Especially the recorder bit.

[xumbapaice]

Even the way WTWB has such crap accessible humour is really bril (that slang's a bit old, in't it?). The scriptwriting content of Extras is absolutely unique and perfect! Shame about the lack of possibility of series 3...or is it? I don't know because (as Millman's character in WTWB would probably say) aah live in t' joongle. I meant the accent; I do really sort of live in "the jungle", but fortunately we have HBO here, which helped me come across The Office and Extras

[rorrt]

I think on his blog he said "Extras is no more", though i saw him on the 1 show, and he talked about the possibliitys, but to be honest, id like to see another show in about 4 years, and he has no reason to return to the show, its the same as The Office, it leaves you thinking whether or not Brent, or Millman walk into te sunset, if you see it then he is treating the audience like fools .i think 2 series is the magic number with all great shows, with specials.

[RetinendParadox]

all the gibbering at the start is so ridiculous but so funny. WTWB is by far the best thing in Extras.

[FranBMan]

Agreed. Gervais's portrayal of Ray gets more brilliant and absurd everytime he does it. And the cast of WTWB are all fantastic.

[Alex0821]

Haha I love the clip of just the catch-phrases...

[chocuz]

watched this last night from the box set i got for crimbo, one of the best shows ever!

[spoonlover2]

....so i posted this up here for nothing :-(

[hjenkinz]

@chocuz are you havin a laugh?

[jensuxxx]

favourited purely for the "merry christmas!" bit, I die laughing everytime!

[FranBMan]

@jensuxxx That noise he makes after he says it is class.

[zomgbat]

genius

[georgiovids]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Uhr-err!

[flesheatingbull]
