I wanted it to be funny, as well, but it just isn't. I know what you mean about the fanboys, you can't say anything about a Ricky Gervais project, ESPECIALLY if Karl Pilkington is involved, without being attacked by the fanboys.
From all of the trailers and clips I've seen of this so far, I've got to say this looks shit. Too bad as well, because I was relly looking forward to seeing this.
Er... I'm not whining about it and I am going to watch it. I don't know if it is good or bad yet, I just stated that going by the clips it looks shit, understand?
looks funny if a little familiar, eg warwick acts like david brent, his accountant? acts like merchs agency character... but glad smell off this is england is in it
@666rocko I know what you mean but I've heard the familiar accusation levelled at Ricky and don't altogether buy it. After all, no one complained that Laurel and Hardy were the same in each film did they? Great to see Smell get more work, she's a gifted comic. I can't wait for this. Love Warwick's face at 10 secs and Ricky always picks good music for trails/shows, Instant Karma here
@666rocko Ok, look at The Marx Bros, same personalities, same schtik, but different characters each movie. The only thing that didn't feel right for me is they've the same joke as Extras-actors playing odd versions of themselves. Which worked fine in Extras and would work fine in here if this show didn't establish that Extras was fiction. I dunno, it kind of betrays the gag to follow it through almost. But that said, it's still their strongest gag; Liam Neeson was this show's highlight
i cant wait for this ... It gonna be brilliant like The Office and Extras ... This is what Gervais and Merchant are BRILLIANT at .... And they know it !!!
People are fucking right twongols, people think this shit is serious. But that’s a credit to the writing and acting of the individuals involved, Ricky Gervais is the cream of any comedic crop, why do the press portray him in a bad light? he’s a fucking great man and his success should be celebrated, if he died tomorrow the media would be right there saying 'comic genius Ricky Gervais sadly passed today' four days before it would be 'Offensive Ricky Gervais pushes disabled child' fickle assholes
You're so right. Ricky seems like a great guy too. I know he can appear a little smug and obnoxious in his live shows but that's just his persona and the humour he wants to convey. He's absolutely brilliant.
I was laughing when he was trying to introduce himself to people and no one knew who he was. I woulda been like "Willow? Leprechaun? Professor Flitwick? You're the man, dude!"
The thing that I constantly get from nearly every show Gervais/Merchant put together is the theme of 'pretention'. Characters constantly over estimating their own worth, showing off, being arrogant. I do like them, but, it'd be nice for a bit of new thing.
@iusefizzylogic But that's really more of a sub-theme, putting it simply, for The Office mainly. The whole story of The Office wasn't David Brent, it was Tim and Dawn, he was there for the comedy, whilst they were the main focus. Neither of them were pretentious.
I agree with you about this and extras though. Love Extras and this looks great, but I'd like to see some new themes.
@Pilkie101 Herp a derp Amerikans are stoopid! Listen buddy, I lived in Northern Ireland and have visited places in the UK and know firsthand that there are tasteless dopes no matter where you go. The fact that you so easily play into stereotypes shows you aren't too proficient in the head meat yourself.
Can't wait for this. Anything Ricky & Steve touch turns to gold and this will be no different. Bring on the midgets! oh excuse me, bring on the vertically challenged :)
Only the 185th viewer, well i'm marking this, as all other Life's Too Short vids have thousands of veiws, so, I AM 185th VIEWER. Oh shit, since writing his someone else viewed. :L ftw.
So bad, it makes me sad. Ricky hasn't done anything good since the Extras Christmas special
