Stephen Merchant Accepts A Bafta On Ricky Gervais' Behalf

[joemobumtwizzler]

she is not funny!!!!!!

[CinematicallyUnhappy]

can you imagine how could this would be if joan rivers was funny?

[VivaSaysHi]

Steve needs a hug.

[Pazma1]

I thought Joan Rivers was very funny, apparently a lot of people here disagree. Meh.

[scarface1999]

Who's the hot chick at 4:41 ? in the middle

[swivster]

@scarface1999 I believe that it is Chantelle Houghton, she appeared on Big Brother a while back.

[andrew8907]

joan rivers is not funny

[zeromant80]

Joan Rivers? really? she's trying way too hard

[MrDA1E]

to me honest that was really a two horse race.

[rjgundy]

hahaha!!! Ricky's life is a series of practical jokes played on his friends! I love it!

[Snight101]

joan rivers isn't funny

[conibear89]

i thought she was quite funny

[TomValedro]

joan rivers? omg

[silverfox1234]

poor Ashley Jensen not even getting a thank you for being a costar on the show. You can tell she was waiting for something to be said towards her.

[pratface1928]

shes a bitch rickys the only one who can pull off being like this at an awards ceremony

[DrkStrShadow]

That was one of the most depressing things I've ever watched. He looked like he needed a big fucking consolatory hug. He's way funnier and should've won that; they didn't pick a very flattering scene for him to play either. Oh, but they played the big funny stupid scene of Ricky...pah.

[misselbow21]

Lol at this. Poor Stephen.

[DaRkGhOsTGaReTh]

And people talk about ricky being harsh at the globes, wtf...!! lool

[spats67]

Stephen Merchant on the second series of Extras is superb - he stole the whole series

[surelady]

I actually think Stephen Merchant is funnier than Ricky Gervais. But that's just personal preference.

[KryzMasta]

Stephen being nominated and Ricky getting the award is exactly like a Rowan Atkinson sketch. Poor guy, always getting asked about Ricky or about how tall he is, the world really doesn't care about him at all. ;-)

[MissusFingerBottom]

oh how nice, Dawn French is referenced in Extras and now I can see who she is here.

[adriciscute3]

Aww stephen, he looked so upset when he collected it for ricky! (I know he probs faked it) YOUR THE REAL GENIUS STEPHEN!!

[ImaginedWriter]

Tough crowd for Graham.

[YaHozna1]

Is she meant to be funny? :S

[TechnicolorYear]

Good. Ness. guys! Joan Rivers is really not that awful. I mean, annoying at times, but sheesh. XD And I must say, Stephen Merchant = LOVE.

[Shantella1978]

Almost the whole thing watching Joan Rivers blathering on? Gimme a break...

[TheGudZeBadAnDaFozzy]

So, Karl goes on about the first time he met Steve it was "Oh, that's different"

You can hear Joan go "Oh my Goo-" as he stands up :P

Pitty this wasn't the BAFTA'S he took Karl too, would have been funny seeing Karl's round head. pretending to be Steve's BF... long story to those who don't know what the FUCK I am on about :P

[GNJF]

anyone know the song playing when stephen went to collect the award?

[LoffleMe]

@GNJF grace kelly, by mika.

[EllenRebecca3]

Oh Stephen you look absolutely gorgeous! That suit and silver tie on you looks WONDERFUL!

[rockstarrist]

@EllenRebecca3 are u havin a laugh? Is she havin a laugh !!

[EllenRebecca3]

@rockstarrist Well, he does look good here. I wasn't taking the mick.

[Dabs84]

It's the mammal that's got ... sort of ... the pointiest eyes. Eyes that pop of their head ...

... Steve.

[iloveneytiri]

@Dabs84 That might just be the best thing Karl has ever said. That and 'shadow in america'

[Phoerocks]

God her voice.. AAHH

[aldershot84]

Watching her makes me realise why people rampage with guns....

Still, nice one Steve, shame you didn't stick one on her though....

[MadSkeelz16]

Joan Rivers face is 112% plastic !!

[TheJDorian]

She looks like a puckered up asshole

[mannekinjohn]

Steve is much funnier than Ricky

Ricky steals material from his mates coz he's too fat and lazy to write a complete stand up show.. I've got my tickets to see Steve in Manchester in October, and I'm betting i won't be hearing any old recycled Xfm material.

[mrfundah]

she doesnt kno who the fuck stephen merchant is??? i think hes acheived a lot more than her botocks filled face has

[Fatal548]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WHAT IS THIS THING

[quiet1234]

Wow I dont hear the brits Bitching about An american Roasting their celebrities HMMMM!

[TOMXXXWUFF]

2:35 in case anyone wants to skip the thing.

[n2155656]

@TOMXXXWUFF good lad

[italianchriswilko100]

@TOMXXXWUFF thanks bud.

[AndyMcCy]

@TOMXXXWUFF Oh god i saw a bit.

[116Bears]

I wonder who wrote Joan's material.

[BlueMoonz55]

Poor Steve.

[Gellis2009]

my god she cant even talk her lips are so buffed up.

[Gellis2009]

0:22, its david mitchell!

[johmedis]

5:00 To avoid Joan Rivers annoying voice and hideous face, and to see what the title suggests

[atemlos2585]

@johmedis Thanks for that,that was useful.

[Fizzypop1211]

I only clicked this to hear Steve Merchant and all I got was the walking dead woman.

[meadowvideos]

I usually don't find women funny but this old hag really got me!

[blm1990]

Merchant should have won it.

[andymaxwellandy]

being nasty isnt funny

[dervish2173]

after listening to her voice i coughed to clear my throat

[elizabethvictoriabor]

mmmmm so to be funny you just have to insult everyone. i'm going to give it a try, i bet i'll become very popular

[Sokalov]

Joan Rivers = Not Funny

[osborne3]

just kidding BTW.........

[lahalane]

Does Joan Rivers have some kind of retardation going on? She comes across as being a bit 'special'.

[yougotninjured]

0:22 It's Mitchell and Webb!

[skelt93]

i clicked on this video to watch smerch and instead i get 5 minutes of this shit

[greyreview]

stephen is funnier in extras

[Tremuoso]

I'd let Joan Rivers blow me if I was drunk. I'd be afraid her lips or nose would fall off during the process though.

[Sinlka]

I can't believe Steven Merchant didn't make a slight height joke with regards to the mic being next to his bellybutton.

[williamwilson666]

The back really isn't an issue with Rivers on stage.

[poppinitiny]

Merchant shoulda won that bafta.

I would have loved to have been there when Steve handed it over (at the LA airport).

[woody12311]

Love Smerch. 

[SaulMeyersz]

wow ..that joan for given us americans a bad name. !!!!!!!!!!!111

[PHT07UK]

Women aren't funny. Joan Rivers is shit.

[mrfundah]

she barely gets a laugh at all

[freelancergin]

I think merchant is the funnier in the shows

[TheHewhodareswins]

fuck off rivers

[manjarisputnik]

she's a horrible sag

[FranBMan]

@manjarisputnik She's fantastic. A true role model for any woman.

[thetalkincow]

are you havin' a laugh?!!

[Nathan030601]

Joan Rivers is pretty fail.

[ViciousGuitarist]

joan rivers sucks balls, it's like she's on crack or something, everything she says is so disjointed

[Frogass]

God joan rivers is a fucking car crash.

[inamarel]

My English isn't very good.. What did she say after she said Ricky slept with her cousin and never called her, "a mean thing to do to a ____ , what?

[cuntylishus]

@inamarel "that's a mean thing to do to a Jew with a hair lip"

(a hair lip is a kind of birth defect/deformity also known as a cleft palate)

[zadiyya]

'and how much would you be paying him?

hah, you got more money than sense mate!

yeah im his agent.' genius.

[rberry978]

fuckinell, norton even manages to throw in a nob gag while introducing a 60+yr old woman.

although it is a step up from saying 'oooo i like willies!!' in various forms like he usually does.

[hol8369]

okay i absolutely love stephen but omg richard hammond was sitting there....i love him!!!!! :) hehehe.

[WillShakespeare2007]

WTF Why is Jason Donovan there does he think it is 1984?

[310BPM]

Smerch is my celebrity crush. I have a thing for goggle-eyed freaks.

[beatlesfan331]

Me too.

Smerch <3.

[EminemBase]

Also he face work is abysmal, who do these people think they're fooling.

She'd look far better naturally wrinkly than unnaturally alien-plastic.

[EminemBase]

Yeah she is annoying as fuck.

Smerch is class though.

[scorchoman]

Yeah this ain't satire therefore she just comes across as a stuck up saggy hollywood bimbo troll.

[heartandsoul1988]

@scorchoman "saggy hollywood bimbo troll." i dunno if i like joan rivers or not but you my friend have a lovely way with words i

[kieranthekiz]

She's not funny, she just comes across as rude.

[ch1mpanzeethat]

I'd fuck the shit out of Joan Rivers.

[OleVanDole]

@ch1mpanzeethat You have low standards :P

[ch1mpanzeethat]

@OleVanDole

I know :)

[RattleHead86]

It's true.... she just ain't funny...

[najtrows]

@RattleHead86 her face is real comedy!

[123suckurmum123]

i hate this bitch so much shes a cancer to comedy and the earth please bitch just tell us hu won and get the fuck off the stage

[depreilord]

Joan is the worst comedian in the world. She mostly mumbles to herself.

[TheLordHodne]

I'm glad he won, he deserved it. But so did Stephen.

[angus1878]

we only booked you for 5 minute s love !

FUCK OFF

[arrghgarry]

she is and was funny

[FOTC4LIFE]

Gervais is really good but Merchant really should have won it he is better in extras

[pukabowers]

@FOTC4LIFE no, he's not

[WonderWaageRadio]

@FOTC4LIFE for season 2 i agree

[luuuby1]

what a stupid fucking bint

[joeyecw]

The more I watch these videos, the more I wonder if Brits are just sick of Ricky winning everything. He's been a bit of an underground sensation here in the States for a while now, but he's never come close to the fame he has in the UK (though that might change with his new movie), but it seems like he never gets cheered by the Brit crowds at these awards anymore...am I just imagining that?

[alikokos]

hes like oprah in uk. oprah wins everything here too. thats why she stopped participating. you might be right, he winning all the time..maybe they are just bored.

[keithmoon90]

yeh i think ur right, but to be honest, i dnt think he's gonna get anymore famous in america if he keeps makin the same movies hes makin atm, he keeps playin a fat little bloke from Reading with an American setting, it jus dnt seem to work. He should stick to writing american movies, and starring in british ones, and write and direct biritsh stuff, but never act in an american movie, he jus dnt seem to fit in coz he looks SO english lol :P

[gerjaison]

What happen to the round tables with lots of alcohol??

[chawk111]

joan rivers is all over british tv

[atarian2049]

Stephen's expression after getting the award in his hands was priceless.

It's bad when the last 35 seconds of a 6 minute video is funnier than the previous 5 minutes. ;)

[jd42305]

Didn't think Joan Rivers was funny before, but next to brilliant British comedians she DEFINITELY not funny.

[MEpianist]

I always hated her too cause I'm 20-something and only saw her on E! -- but check out her early stand-up, she's genius, maybe funnier than Ricky's standup!

[atcarter122692]

maby its just me, but i dont find women funny, ive heard women tell the same jokes as men and i dont laugh, but i laugh when men tell them =P, dont get me worng i love women ;) i just havent been able to find a funny one yet. srry if this offended anyone.

[sinksinkswim]

Yeah it's a rare occasion for me when I find women funny, usually followed by me trying to find some of their stand-up and realising how appalling it is

[atcarter122692]

some of the black ones arent to bad but the white chicks just kill it for me

[rebecoutsa]

'the black ones' !! oh dear

[atcarter122692]

african american comedians....

lol its annooying today how everyone gets all up in arms cause a white person says "black"..... i dont get my panties in a bunch when people call me white... hell the "african americans" in my neighborhood call me ricy bobby for goodness sake...

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

i know what you mean and I'm a women myself. Check out Jo Brand, Jo Caufield, Lucy Porter (Basically women off Mock the Week - Sometimes they're VERY good).

[ageguyera21]

Completely agree.

[dagnut]

It's a scientific fact, don't feel bad, it's not even up for debate.

[pothead27]

I feel the same. Not sexist or anything, i just dont find female comedians that funny. Only exception is dawn french

[ShinDragonForce]

everyone . Everywhere , agress with you :)

[merdufer]

@atcarter122692 Maybe you'll know why they're funny if you just take your eyes off their breasts once in a while.

[pukabowers]

@atcarter122692 maybe you've heard men tell them first and the ain't as funny second time around

[YinYangTzu]

@atcarter122692 try french and saunders, lol. but at any rate, christopher hitchens wrote about why he thinks women aren't as funny as men and points to a necessity for men to be funny. it goes something like this - there is so much pressure for a guy to be funny, whereas there is less pressure for a woman to be funny. women are typically pressured to be physically attractive, less talk more boobs sort of thing. they can be funny but there isn't a pressure to be funny. tomen who arnt funny - gl.

[LieutenantSparkles]

@atcarter122692 why did all these people thumbs up this guy? as a woman i'm kind of offended and i'm tired of this double standard shit.

[atcarter122692]

@LieutenantSparkles personally i have no idea why so many people have "thumb up'd" my comment. it was just a random opinion i had. and since i made that comment almost a year ago. i have seen a few female comedians that are funny. im sorry if my comment upset you. it was not intended for that. my apologies

[en19mo]

@atcarter122692 i dunno man its just kinda tru. i have exactly the same view point as u

[osborne3]

@LieutenantSparkles Oh shutup and get back to the kitchen..........was that offensive?

[LieutenantSparkles]

@osborne3 yeah a bit. not rly funny or original either. Sry bro

[osborne3]

@LieutenantSparkles Really that wasn't original? Fuck I thought I was on to something.

[LieutenantSparkles]

@osborne3 no. i'm sorry. Very very sorry. You'll get em next time

[jimmywinner123]

@atcarter122692 girls arent funny. amen to that brother

[brollan1234]

@jimmywinner123 word!

[geordietoddy]

@atcarter122692 That's normal! and is the reason why there are so many more male comedians than there are female comediennes.

Men are more likely to be thought of as funny, and women are easier to 'make-laugh' than men are. Just a lil factoid for you there!

[elizabethvictoriabor]

@geordietoddy i'm a girl and i totally agree with you, but tine fey is an exception to the rule, maybe she's a guy

[joellynmorgan]

@atcarter122692 Trust me there are many many hilarious women out there :)

[atcarter122692]

@joellynmorgan I imagine there are! i never ment for my comment to be so popular. i was just sharing an opinion. i used to watch comedians alot and i never saw a female that was that funny. i wasn't trying to say there are none.

[purplenurps]

@atcarter122692 Your grammar offended me

[atcarter122692]

@purplenurps how so?

[purplenurps]

@atcarter122692 You can't spell and that upsets me

[atcarter122692]

@purplenurps What did I spell wrong?

[purplenurps]

@atcarter122692 Maybe, wrong, sorry and if i'm being picky don't(three times), i've, haven't

[atcarter122692]

@purplenurps haha i probably was just to lazy to fix them

[skelt93]

@purplenurps i assume you're a women

[purplenurps]

@skelt93 huh no, i just think women can be funny

[skelt93]

@purplenurps it's not possible. and it has been scientifically proven that people dont find women funny unless the are fat or a really obvious dyke

[purplenurps]

@skelt93 Funny comment, i guess

[faraz1729]

@atcarter122692

It's not just you. It just is true. Anyone who denies it is being politically correct and dishonest. It's like pointing out that as a whole, males are far stronger and more athletic than females. It shouldn't be offensive. Just different.

[xxGrey]

@atcarter122692 Maybe it's just Joan Rivers. This wasn't funny. Australian female comedians are hilarious.

[atcarter122692]

@xxGrey very possible

[BlueSpirit3743]

HAHA omg did you see that Guy shakin his head in disgust when she said "Dawn French Fuck Her" - woah they SO didn't like her! Woah, I dont think Ive ever seen Joan's performance go down so badly...I liked it!

[BlueSpirit3743]

erm....im sorry but have absolutely no idea what you're on about....and also, if that last line is supposed to be sarcastic, I don't recall making fun of Canadians ?

[candytotty]

HOW come the british audience didn't laugh LOUD OR Period at all when Joan had made her funny jokes? I laughed at them, I thought they were really funny.

I found it weird. The british are quiet and are they TOO well reserved?

[BlueSpirit3743]

Again, its not the British. You know the Guy presenting? His name's Graham Norton. Watch his show, any o them on YT, try Sharon Osbourne and David Boreanez, the whole shoe's on here. That's how unreserved the British are. I think the reason nobody laughed is because this awards show took place in Covent Garden, which is a snobbish area in London plus Joan is known for saying fuck and swearing. These would be snobs. I tool laughed at her jokes they were fucking hilarious tbh, and I'm English.

[jameshowlett1991]

Graham Norton is irish mate.

[malcolmjacobson]

because she wasnt funny

[arrghgarry]

dont be silly

[mudrat500]

thats because her jokes are 100 years old - we've heard dozens of comedians do them before and they're not that good to start off with

[ollymcguirk]

Joan Rivers is shit. I get her completely but tbh she is just plainly not funny at all. Its like a mother trying to be funny in-front of your friends.

[bernardevans]

She is bad

[Azurju]

Joan is a comedian who you either get or you don't, nothing in between. You either love her or hate her.
