Does anyone know why Mitchell & Webb were put as one potential winner, while Gervais and Merchant were up against each other for their work on the same show?
None of it makes sense. Surely they should all be individual nominations for an actor award? And was there really only two series in the UK in 2006 that deserved a nomination for comedy actor?
I realize it's a joke and everything, but still, the fact that Stephen will probably forever be remembered as Ricky's sidekick-if remembered at all-kinda ticks me off...
Portal 2 definitely gave Steven a huge boost in popularity. Although thats not a good thing since there is now a bunch of bickering kids in the comments on every video.
it seemed like merchant was kinda pissed. You dont see them video in merchant when gervais wins an award. they cant give merchant any credit without mentioning ricky gervais, let alone giving him the acceotance speech. that kinda pisses me off
@alexortman I think Steven is just a very modest person, he's been doing comedy with Ricky Gervais for years he knows his comedy, he is the straight man, Ricky is the joker, he loves it ;)
Steve Merchant is a fantastic stand up comedian too. Saw him live a couple of weeks ago and it was hilarious, plus he was nice enough to meet his fans after and let me get a picture with him :)
@roxyqueen2 i saw him live too - easily as funny as Gervais. And i managed to get a picture with him afterwards, although i found him surprisingly shy.
@JarCooler I would reason with you and say it is more than arguable that merchant is funnier than gervais, but i think gervais is much more talented. Thoughts?
It's really sad that this guy wrote, directed and acted in the two greatest comedy series of the 2000s, is a star of the world's most popular podcast and has almost single-handedly changed the face of modern comedy, as well as done years of dedicated radio work, and the thing most people here know him for is a cameo in a videogame which is known for its incredibly irritating fanbase.
@videogamenostalgia I'm with you on this one. I listen to the old XFM stuff every day, I've got all the podcasts, The Office, Extras, Cemetery Junction, yet most people I talk to now about Steve say "Oh, the guy in Portal 2!" It's infuriating.
that is so ridiculous - if anything, his "cameo" (he completely stole the show in that video game, by the way) raised awareness of how unbelievable he really is - i won't lie, i hadn't even heard of him before portal, but after it, i imediatly researched everything he had done, and soon forgot portal - don't act like you get bonus points for being a "hardcore fan" who was with him from the beginning!
@videogamenostalgia I don't think cameo means what you think it means. And I also don't think you know much about Portal or its fanbase, or about Merchant's fanbase,
@videogamenostalgia Come on. I like Steven Merchant, but saying that he almost single-handedly changed the face of modern comedy might be an over statement. Plus, his role in Portal is not merely a cameo, and he does a great job in it.
You forgot to thank Portal 2 for making him more famous. At least now people'll be more motivated to check out his own work.
Stop hating on the fans. How can you blame them for "not knowing him before Portal", that's a silly thing to do. Almost just as silly as people voting thumbs up for your comment.
@TheBestKindOfFailure I agree. I didn't really watch extras and the office until I started branching their work after watching An Idiot Abroad. I did play Portal 2 before that but I didnt know Steven did the voice for Wheatley which I feel kinda bat about now :/ I think he should be more known. Even Karl is beginning to get more famous. Ricky and Karl is going to be acting in a new tv-show.
@TheBestKindOfFailure I think the fact that he's in the most downloaded podcast on Earth alongside Ricky and Karl made him more famous than what Portal 2 did, seriously.
@TheBestKindOfFailure Yeah, I do. I believe the podcast's hit over 200 Million downloads a few years back. How many sales did Portal 2 get? That's what I thought.
Well yes, that's easy when something is free and easy downloadable on the internet. A podcast is NOT comparable to a computer game, neither does it mean their podcasts are more popular than Portal 2.
Are you insane? If you're angry at the fans and the fact this DID increase Stephens popularity, then go ahead and be bitter over nothing, but in no way is Portal "half-arsed". Did you even play it. If I didn't know any better, the entire game revolves around Stephen's character, and Stephen's character basicly IS Stephen.
It's a shame a fan isn't able to appreciate that, just because you're angry over the fame of a game. A fame well deserved and mainly thanks to Stephen.
@andysanj Half-arsed? Games of that magnitude often have larger budgets than major films. In the case of Portal 2, an enormous amount of talent went into the writing, and it shows. Just because it's a genre that you probably dismissed long before it was capable of telling a great story doesn't mean it's of any less value now that it can.
A cameo? Seriously? He was one of the stars in Portal 2! Besides does it really mind how people got to know him? Because someone got to know him because of Portal 2 doesn't mean they can't appreciate the office or extras.
@videogamenostalgia as long as people know him, it shouldn't matter. i first heard about stephen merchant from portal 2 but after i did some youtubing i became addicted to the things he's in.
do people realize that this is a joke? of course ricky isnt actually interrupting him because he's pissed off that he didnt win, it's obviously been planned before hand, these two are best mates!,
@brunettevideos That's part of Ricky's gimmick. An arrogant, self-righteous, self-important....tosser basically. But still, it's great how him and Steve have this no holds barred, back and forth relationship. Ultimately, I do think they realise that one would not be anything without the other.
Cant stand this Wheatley stuff.. regardless of whether he was amazing in Portal 2 or not (which I expect he is, as everything Steven does is magical,) he not only co-wrote The Office and Extras (2 of the finest Sit-Coms ever) of which he should be more famous for, his podcasts' with Ricky and Karl are genius, and he was famous, and brilliant, far before Wheatley , i am glad that Portal has made him more renowned and hopefully given him the higher recognition that he deserves.
How come Ricky and Stephen get their own nominations but David and Robert have to share theirs? I mean I agree that Stephen actually deserved to win the award but they could of at least given the guys their own nominations.
British comedy is so much better than american comedy maybe thats why they keep stealing the shows in the UK office red dwarf spaced the thick of it shameless the inbetweeners skins etc etc so rickys bragging doesn't really work
Both the US and Britain produce some brilliant comedians and guess what! .... so do other countries as well. It's almost as if we're all the same species or something. Next thing you know these crazy scientists with their protractors and rulers will be able to prove that you can be funny even if your're born in the third world.
@synchc i'm not saying Britain is the only place that makes good comedy I'm not even British so am not bragging and am not sayin american comedy sucks some is okey but not a lot, and America does steal loads of British shows and makes them crap and you can't argue with that either you can't argue with that cause its fact, the truth of the matter is and sorry if it offends you but the vast majority of americans are too ignorant to watch anything that isn't made in america, sorry but thats true

HAHA! That's the first time I've actually heard Steven use the 'F' word! XD "Even when he's not in the fucking country!" X'D Steven Merchant is a legend! :))
"Now, the bid lin, the lid bin - the bin lid, yeah?"
KARL PILKINGTON HAS A HEAD LIKE A FUCKING ORANGE! CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNT!
Go on Ricky, you and steve should so something on the 8th series of Curb next year. Or at least get Larry to meet up with Karl and film it. Karl should meet Guest as well. Rick, Steve and Karl - Geniuses.
Same. I am a huge fan of Curb and i'm from England. Curb isn't at all well known because the UK never showed Seinfeld and only shows Curb on a quiet channel every (Technically Monday) at 1 in the morning which is a shame.
Curb is a cult comedy in the UK, only a small handful know about its genius.
When you mentioned whether it will be outlines or script - are you referring to the episode of Curb with Ricky or Ricky's new Sitcom?
@danutcase66 i know im from the uk too lol im always trying to get my friends to watch it they do put the new season on at 10 pm on there first run and they gave quite a bit of add time too the last season aswell. i was talking about rickys new show i expect it will be worte like there last 2 shows but sinfeild was writen as well so i dont know
Oh right, In that case i'm betting my future morgage that it is all scripted and some bits are improvised like the odd phrase or wording, that's it. Wouldn't it be great if Larry was in an episode of Life's Too Short. I WANT KARL TO MEET LARRY!
BBC2 used to show Seinfeld all the time and then The Larry Sanders Show right after it. Seinfeld was also broadcast on the Paramount Comedy channel in the UK so plenty of people know about Seinfeld.
Really? I didn't kniw that....but I disagree with your last comment. Most of the people I know have either never heard of Seinfeld or have heard of it but don't know what it is. Even less people know about Curb who I know.
Not trying to be a dick but you're a big fan of Curb (and I presume Seinfeld) but you didn't even know that Seinfeld has been shown on various channels here in the UK so you can disagree with my comment by saying people you know don't know about Seinfeld but that's not very conclusive.
You also have to remember that Seinfeld finished in 1998 so maybe your friends never watched it when it was on (as you didn't) but this doesn't mean it's not well known in the UK.
Nah, basically I got into 'The Office' when I was 8 years old, which I find amazing since the humour is very subtle but my Dad is a huge comedy fan and got me into it. Then, a two or so years later, I stumbled across a programme that had the same realistic feel - it was Curb. I immeidately loved it. It was due to the storyline of Curb that introduced me to Seinfeld - which is odd I know.
If you got into The Office when you were 8 then you're a lot younger than I thought. Your profile says you're 30 (I'm 31) but you can only be 17/18 at the most if that's the case. Makes sense then that you didn't know about Seinfeld until recently.
I was serious about not trying to be a dick. I don't tend to make comments on YT and I know that a lot of people tend to get into slagging each other off which is pointless - especially when we're just discussing a TV show.
I'm not saying that Seinfeld isn't popular in the UK. My point is that Friends is far more famous in the UK than Seinfeld is. I mean Friends reruns have been on Channel 4 for years and still get substantial ratings (Although I hear Channel 4 are getting rid of it next year). It was just an obervation and common theme that whenever Seinfeld or Curb was mentioned to my family (Even cousins, aunts etc), friends or people at my college or school, they'd never heard of either. Shame.
It's a shame but it's their loss. Also, the Friends argument is a different one. No one's going to argue that Seinfeld's more popular in the UK than Friends but it's a totally different type of show (with a different time slot due to the nature of the show) and appeals to a different audience than both Seinfeld and Curb. It's unfortunate but there are just more people who watch shit like Friends compared to Curb.
Yeah, it is a real shame. Although the only reason why I watch Friends at all is because it was on all the time when I was young and so I have a nostalgia for it. Friends is one of those shows you watch because it's on rather than to laugh at. For the past few years, I've been watching Seinfeld. I think it is great. It has the comedy of Curb combined with the watch-ability of Friends. Seinfeld makes Friends looks severely lacking in comedy. Friends is more of a rom sitcom really

Why is Steven costantly put in the shadows behind Rick?
I find Steven much funnier than Ricky most of the time, and also more attractive.
So un-fair, he's such a un-regconised comic legend.

Merchant's fantastic. Sounds bitchy but everyone knows he's the brains of the operation, and I'd love him to do more stuff without Gervais.

I wish smerchy was a nicer guy IRL, he's so cute. I fancied the pants off him til I got the complete collection of the RG XFM show and found out what a mean sexist judgemental git he is. But he's eye candy, so hey :-P

@leushy He's not any of those things in real life. The XFM shows are just pissing about, you're not meant to take them seriously.

Go on Ricky, you and steve should so something on the 8th series of Curb next year. Or at least get Larry to meet up with Karl and film it. Karl should meet Guest as well. Rick, Steve and Karl - Geniuses.

danutcase66 1 year ago
@danutcase66 yea should be i love curb own the box sets i just wonder if there going to script it or just outline it in detail like larry does?
809Ollie 1 year ago
@809Ollie
Same. I am a huge fan of Curb and i'm from England. Curb isn't at all well known because the UK never showed Seinfeld and only shows Curb on a quiet channel every (Technically Monday) at 1 in the morning which is a shame.
Curb is a cult comedy in the UK, only a small handful know about its genius.
When you mentioned whether it will be outlines or script - are you referring to the episode of Curb with Ricky or Ricky's new Sitcom?
danutcase66 1 year ago
@danutcase66 i know im from the uk too lol im always trying to get my friends to watch it they do put the new season on at 10 pm on there first run and they gave quite a bit of add time too the last season aswell. i was talking about rickys new show i expect it will be worte like there last 2 shows but sinfeild was writen as well so i dont know
809Ollie 1 year ago
@809Ollie
Oh right, In that case i'm betting my future morgage that it is all scripted and some bits are improvised like the odd phrase or wording, that's it. Wouldn't it be great if Larry was in an episode of Life's Too Short. I WANT KARL TO MEET LARRY!

BBC2 used to show Seinfeld all the time and then The Larry Sanders Show right after it. Seinfeld was also broadcast on the Paramount Comedy channel in the UK so plenty of people know about Seinfeld.

@UKFightFan4
Really? I didn't kniw that....but I disagree with your last comment. Most of the people I know have either never heard of Seinfeld or have heard of it but don't know what it is. Even less people know about Curb who I know.
danutcase66 1 year ago
@danutcase66
Not trying to be a dick but you're a big fan of Curb (and I presume Seinfeld) but you didn't even know that Seinfeld has been shown on various channels here in the UK so you can disagree with my comment by saying people you know don't know about Seinfeld but that's not very conclusive.
You also have to remember that Seinfeld finished in 1998 so maybe your friends never watched it when it was on (as you didn't) but this doesn't mean it's not well known in the UK.

@UKFightFan4
I like the "Not trying to be a dick" touch. Lol.
Nah, basically I got into 'The Office' when I was 8 years old, which I find amazing since the humour is very subtle but my Dad is a huge comedy fan and got me into it. Then, a two or so years later, I stumbled across a programme that had the same realistic feel - it was Curb. I immeidately loved it. It was due to the storyline of Curb that introduced me to Seinfeld - which is odd I know.
danutcase66 1 year ago
@danutcase66
If you got into The Office when you were 8 then you're a lot younger than I thought. Your profile says you're 30 (I'm 31) but you can only be 17/18 at the most if that's the case. Makes sense then that you didn't know about Seinfeld until recently.
I was serious about not trying to be a dick. I don't tend to make comments on YT and I know that a lot of people tend to get into slagging each other off which is pointless - especially when we're just discussing a TV show.

@UKFightFan4
I'm not saying that Seinfeld isn't popular in the UK. My point is that Friends is far more famous in the UK than Seinfeld is. I mean Friends reruns have been on Channel 4 for years and still get substantial ratings (Although I hear Channel 4 are getting rid of it next year). It was just an obervation and common theme that whenever Seinfeld or Curb was mentioned to my family (Even cousins, aunts etc), friends or people at my college or school, they'd never heard of either. Shame.
danutcase66 1 year ago
@danutcase66
It's a shame but it's their loss. Also, the Friends argument is a different one. No one's going to argue that Seinfeld's more popular in the UK than Friends but it's a totally different type of show (with a different time slot due to the nature of the show) and appeals to a different audience than both Seinfeld and Curb. It's unfortunate but there are just more people who watch shit like Friends compared to Curb.
UKFightFan4 1 year ago
@UKFightFan4
Yeah, it is a real shame. Although the only reason why I watch Friends at all is because it was on all the time when I was young and so I have a nostalgia for it. Friends is one of those shows you watch because it's on rather than to laugh at. For the past few years, I've been watching Seinfeld. I think it is great. It has the comedy of Curb combined with the watch-ability of Friends. Seinfeld makes Friends looks severely lacking in comedy. Friends is more of a rom sitcom really
