Laughed when I found this out. Shaun Pye (Greg Lindley-Jones, Andy's nemesis) is also a writer. As well as writing most of Jonathan Ross's jokes for his talk show, he also sits in a room with Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle and writes the jokes for 8 Out Of 10 Cats. They're the head writing team. I'd love to sit in on a few of those meetings.
I'm from the US and I love this show, but I don't know that many people have heard of it here... very popular among the film school types I know, though.
One of the best lines in this episode: "Bingo these in half an hour after I've had a wee fritter with . . . them." How do these guys think of this stuff?
Seems like there is a bit of insanity in the general population of the british brain. Over all. Their conversation, 'jokes or humour' and just plain every day life is full of incomprehensable meaning that only they understand. Totally weird. Its like they are on another planet. This commment is for any unfortunate person not British who may have happened upon Extras not meaning to and who knows what I'm getting at.
@LoveMokes Ummm.....really? You don't get it? I wouldn't blame it on culture mate, I'm completely American and this is my favorite show and comedian. I recommend an MRI over being a Londoner for you to understand it....
@MrDarwin420 You were prob smoking your 'hash' when you watched this. Its well known fact you can enjoy and think you are enlightened or 'understand' ANYTHING when under the influence of drugs. And if I were American I certainly would not admit it. Gotta love your own homeland though even if its gone to hell in a basket.
@randomsamno9 Just UK humour in general is often not understood and not seen as funny in the US. Thats not to say all americans don't like UK humour, but Australian humour is the same to americans. Im an aussie and i absolutely love this show but know a lot of people who hate english programming.
@Seckser yep. usually best to ignore them and not glorify their ignorance and moronic rantings by making comments about them the highest rated. that kind of racist yelping reminds me of the way some people scream at other drivers in their car. put them on their feet and they're as quiet as a mouse. pathetic really. let's talk about extras shall we?
Has anyone else noticed how British Comedies are really hilarious, but every single British person on earth is an ugly, stupid, irritating, homosexual, unshowered and utterly worthless snotrag?
have you ever noticed how americans are obese self-degrading cretins, who worship the ground the jews walk on? your president is black and your nation dedicated to jewish supremacism, and you dare insult the british? the worst aspects of our culture is most often detritus from your jew-culture
@NaziSkinhead1985 You're a stupid, insignificant, ignorant little cunt. Before you pass comment on something, make sure you know what the fuck it is your talking about.

Ohhh..don't be so upset. Take your boyfriend's hand and go run naked with him in a forest early in the morning every day - it will refresh your brain. I only have one question for you, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious: do you like to smell old people's feet ?
I dont know what the hell is up your ass but you need to relax. I was simply saying that every time I've seen the episodes or seen the episode list the Ben Stiller one was FIRST. Oh and btw I'm a girl so I'm pretty positive there is no prick here asshole.

American version of Extras is so much better.... please don't argue with me and don't write any stupid comments - simply akcnowledge the fact that what I say is always right - ALWAYS
"Your heart's not in this, is it?" We know lots & lots of people do shitty jobs and all, but there's something about the way Brits kind of carry on in a unique sour, sad, spiteful, conformed, "mustn't grumble" kind of way that's...God, so...well, unique! Art imitates life in this trailer sequence. I've had shitty jobs in England and...Christ, I think the only thing one could say is: "nothing quite like it." (ask me what I do now, come on, come on..PLEEEEEASE!!

you bet your arse she's middle-aged. why are women so afraid of growing old? face it, we're all going to die, we're all going to get wrinkles - fuck it, in the mean time i'd rather not havy filthy 40 y.o. 'sex and the city whores' parading around like teenagers/
if you don't know what SATC is about, don't diss it. How ignorant to assume the show is about whores, just because the female characters have sex in the show.
