@MrMerlin87 Yeah their first few albums were awesome. This last one was a rip off most of the songs had already been released and it was just pop shite. But Chris Martin is really good in this. So many celebrities do charity work to sell a fucking album or single. They've got those people down to a tee in this.
'Can we get on with this, I've got aids and alzheimers and landmines this afternoon and I want to get back for Deal or No Deal'!!! hahaha best thing I've ever seen Chris Martin do!
@3eau2aniel :) in fairness, that was after Extras, not before, and you could argue it was a braver move by her to do it having royally taken the piss out of holocausts and oscars! But I take you point! hahahaha
@Thomaitken7 Hes playing Himself?? wtf? Erm no he i'snt, Chris Martin in real life is a very funny guy. and of course hes acting in this! and very good as well!
@zedsdead03 He's playing a parody of himself. Just like every other guest in the entire series. Did you think Patrick Stewart is obsessed with lesbians, or Ross Kemp with "super army soldiers", or Kate Winslet with holocaust movies to guarantee oscars?!
@tfn105 What? Not sure you needed to comment on what i wrote tbh. I know what Chris Martin and every other guest does that come on to the show thanks, i dont need you to tell me.
I replied to someone that said. "Hes not acting hes playing himself"
But quite obviously he is acting and Mocking himself. or as You put "He's Playing a Parody of Himself".
You might need to read through thoroughly before making a comment in future. Instead of jumping on the first sentance. thanks anyway
@Fubs they're just not to your taste, but that doesn't make them shit or useless. Objectively, they're not shit or useless because they have been very successful and many millions of people like their music a lot around the world. Subjectively, everyone has their own opinion.
This is the kind of thing people learn when they're about 16. You have a lot of learning to do. Moron.
that chris martin bit is exactly like most american sitcoms when some celebrity like Dwayne Johnston comes on for a bit and preens themselves in a meaningless cameo
the part where ricky is in the sitcom and saying what the character is supposed to say but and acting in a way that befits the character but also showing what andy millman thinks of it is brilliant acting.
Yeah your right Barry should do more comedy but I did wonder whether he was just sacrificing his career by so blatantly making a complete mockery of his previous career.
i'm confused by how much irony is in this... taking the piss outta Chris martin promoting coldplay.. and then promoting coldplay.. so is Chris Martin really a dick head?
I loved how Ricky's character would break character while he was establishing David's presence. When he says "mental" and "ridiculous" it's really noticeable.
fair point dude ive heard better too but when you have millions in the bank & a beautiful wife then being the best live singer in the world wouldn't really bother me
I thought he was shocking actually. Fair play that he showed he can laugh at himself, but he wasn't great in this. Gervais' writing was what made him great in Extras.
Did like how he went all Spinal Tap when he's singing though lol
i think he's referring to both. True that in the show "Extras" he's referring to "When the whistle Blows" but from knowing Gervais/Merchants' comedy i reckon it was a sneaky little joke about the show "Extras" as well. Celebrities just popping up, class writing.
WTF is someone who know's shit loads about history going to offer a business ? I love history, but studying it is absolutely pointless, apart from enjoying it....
History, excellent.... That'll make you millions (roll eyes here).... 52 years old and your in Uni studying history wow ! And just to add, I have two intern guys working for me (half way through a business degree) which is more than I have to my name and there the dumbest fucks Ive ever met, if it werent for the HR department here I would sacked the lazy bastards.... So spouting off your "I go to univeristy" line is as impressive as a wet sock.
In the last episode of the show (the Christmas special) they fly off together somewhere. They're not romantically involved, they're just tied together, and in the Robert DeNiro episode she hinted about moving in together.
Just seen your comment on my old car video, very "mature" you sad sad old cunt.... Not to mention the fact buying a car for 16 grand when I was 18 (which I paid for my self not from Mummy and Daddy, non of that finance shit) isnt exactly a "pikey" worthy comment.... So smart ass WTF do you drive ??
