I love it right near the end of the episode when Steven Merchant says, "He wants to bring his friend, is that alright? It's a friend of his, a lady", and De Niro replies with, "The lady on the pen?"
I really thought they missed a trick at the end of this episode by not having De Niro caught masturbating to the pen like Merchant was caught earlier on :) Would have been a magical moment indeed :))
I mean it just goes to show how good Ricky/Stephen are as a team... how they got these celebritys practically queueing up for a part, here we have Thee Robert DeNiro saying about 5 words if that and thats it, he's an extra, he wanted to play an extra for them... Kate Winselt talks dirty, totally not how she would act, again not a very big part and of course David Bowie havin his 5 mins of fame
I love this scene, but is it just me, or does it feel like they filmed seperately? Like the shots dont seem very natural, and the part where theyre sat across the table looks like a bit of camera trickery. im not sure, it just doesnt look right :s
I love the fact that De Niro is so childishly impressed with the pen. I imagined he would be very scornful and bored with it, after all, that kind of thing has been marketed for years. But his sudden boyish delight is a funny twist. Excellent. A scene with him encountering the "Hills Have Eyes" bloke and Count Fuckula would have been comedy gold.
@Moc870 isn't it crazy that some of the most talented people suffer from panic attacks? i like amanda seyfried, too, and she's known to have episodes of panic. of course, i'm not saying they're comparable, but it's like they have so much talent inside em that it manifests itself in brilliance and also in panic.
ya its very strange coz he seems like such a cool and relaxd guy, but i get panic attacks too its a phobia called agoraphobia some people get OCD along with it, well i do anyway ha

n 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 vids in 30 mins
I live in England. And im grateful for what i have here, my family, food, water, free medical attention if i need it, the chance to earn money and live a happy life. No country is perfect, your country is what you make it, i love my country because i ws born here, my family is with me, i have everything i need a good education, many oppurtunities, exciting ones. Be adult about this, shake off anything you dont like reading, shake it off and take no notice.
remember people, whatever country you live in, be proud of it despite what ANYONE says about you or your country. What makes it special is that YOU live there, you was born there and you'll probably die there, after living a happy life.
Some countries like Africa for example are not so lucky. They dont have the food they need, medical attention or water... you have something to be proud of, you're given what you need to survive, you're unique American or Canadian.
Shroomer01--do us all a favor and leave the country, get a citizenship in Canada. I cannot believe how ungrateful you are to live in the most prosperous and free nation on the planet
Of course we are losing freedom, but we remain the most free at the moment (of any of the G20) Why are we the most free? Because we are nearest to a free market economy (it is mixed and the current run of bailouts and government takeovers threaten this). Countries that (like canada/sweden in many aspects) are socialized are LESS free. Having the government take care of you and "sharing the wealth" is tyranny not liberty.
Yes because were not happy with that.. You don't live here you guys have no fucking clue what it is like here. You make it seem like were giving all of our money away to everything.. you got it all wrong and in your time of need when you get into an accident and are near death fucking laugh at us then when you get your half a million dollar bill.
call me a socialist but i would rather live in a country where i know that i am taken care of than one where i kno that if i am not fortunate enough to have money for health care i wont get it.
not that i dont it is just other people in america r in big trouble because they dont have the means to fend for themselves.
i am aware that i probably will cause people to spam me because i want an equal america. call me a dreamer.
One thing is certain, you do not want an equal America. Despite what you say. You want to rob the rich to feed the poor. That is the opposite of equal.
Of course some of the rich are corrupt (Bernie Madoff) but the vast majority have earned their wealth by selling valuable products and services used by great numbers of people (For their own benefit...no one buys something to benefit the seller!)
So you want to take from those who have earned and give to those who need? Certainly not equal.
I agree - The whole robbing the rich to feed the poor thing is the basis of communism, and I think it's fair to say that the global examples of communism show that it simply does not work
It's called solidarity. I can't believe that people are actually proud of living in a country where its citizens don't give a crap about their own countrymen starving on the streets or losing their home only because they got sick. It's quite a shame to see that some Americans really seem to be as fucked up as everyone says they are.
There's a lot of us that aren't, though. I enjoy being American, but I'm really not proud of much of our history or government, or the crappy public education, or the health system. Or the fact that many of us don't know that Great Britain is not the same thing as England.
But really, there are idiots in every country and continent. I think the American ones just have such a presence that it makes us all look moronic.
Solidarity is great, to the extent that we are all unified in the belief that all individuals are created equal and have the right to pursue their separate interests.
To say that I don't care about others is backwards, socialists don't care about others. They disregard the rights an individual has to his own mind. something that is beyond evil, to deny one ownership of his thoughts.
I am proud to live in a country where individuals are rewarded by the value they bring, not the need they have.
Jesus Christ, this has nothing to do with socialism. You should watch "sicko". I don't like Michael Moore, but he's got a point there. What are you Americans so afraid of? I really don't get it. That all of a sudden, your army would be red, only because you have health care? The bombs that your country is dropping every day are being paid for with your tax dollars. Are those socialist-bombs?
It's clear that you don't understand socialism. The governments of capitalist nations serve 2 functions, enforcing rule of law and establishing a national defense. We do pay taxes to protect the whole and the individual. Of course more pay in for others but it is in their own interest. It is not in their interest to feed someone who doesn't work or to have their money used for government takeover of private institutions -this is socialism. Government workers make twice as much as private workers
if the rich guys just look out for themselves wat happens to the poor. i am pretty certain that it would not hurt the rich guys bank account to spare some for the less fortunate
there is a difference between robbing an sharing. robbing is when you take without permission and sharing is when u care for other people and out of the goodness of your heart you help them out. but i guess u dont hav one of those.
the world will probably never b equal but is a little more fairness too much to ask 4.
First, are the poor to look out for the rich? You are for equality so this should be a mutually beneficial trade. In reality the poor are more concerned about themselves than the rich are. The rich give charitably, the poor do nothing of the kind, they only take.
There is a difference between robbing and sharing. It becomes theft when you do not give on your own accord. I love giving, I don't like the government doing the giving for me (because they have to take from me first.).
I think you're missing a point- it's not so much giving people equal wealth, but at least making sure the rest of the population doesn't live in dire poverty. (I'm English btw) Only a small portion is taken (and the poor are taxed heavier than the rich are, go figure). The rich still keep their mansions. Some family of five might just be able to keep a three bed terraced house. Who says the "working-class" aren't earning what they have? Many min-wage jobs have longer hours and are hard going.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have never quite understood how the poor are taxed heavier than the rich. Please explain. The poor pay a lower percentage of their income if anything at all, and they pay a lower total amount. The upper (working) middle class is probably paying a higher percentage of their earnings but the total amount paid is far less than the rich. They aren't poor. I agree that taxation should be more fair, the rich shouldn't have to pay millions of dollars, when another person isn't paying anything. Unfair
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
When the person not paying anything has nothing to begin with, (and, surprising to some, but even more true in the current climate through no fault of their own- a play I recently saw called the credit crunch actually addresses this very concisely) it is not unfair. Because, taken literally, if people were no longer taxed that person with no money would probably be homeless and starve and we'd be regressing back to the workhouses. I may have been a little flippant, but there are tax loopholes.
Hey Brit nationalists, fuck off. I'm an American and I think Gervais is brilliant. The divide here is not so much cultural as it is intellectual-- intelligent people usually seem to appreciate ironic humor; "thick" people of all nationalities usually do not. (And don't forget the "Carry On..." films and Benny fucking Hill, you xenophobic prats.)
as an internationalist Englishman, I agree. Don't forget buddy, the press works both ways - I hope your media isn't starting to hate us, and by the same token, I know the US has it's beautiful people so I ignore the shit I don't agree with. Glad you like our produce though - it has to be said, we are Kings of comedy.
I concur. When it comes to literature, rock music and comedy, the UK over-achieves marvelously (and in a lot of other things as well). BTW, check out Gervais's old rock video-- very, very surprising.
If you're the from England, I'm thinking the opposite. Most funny comedians nowadays are British, but the greatest author of the twentieth century (hemingway) was ours. Rock music could go either way.
The greatest American author of the 20th century arguably, but a bit of a stretch to call him the world's greatest of the century. Although many of his works were influential in the continued development of the modernist era, his work is usually considered to narrow thematically, and his style too economic, to take the mantle of 'greatest'.
I would consider him the greatest nontheless. Hemingway, with his "economic" writing, could command an image into the mind like no other and appear as though he weren't trying to.
I think your right; I always thought his economy with words was a strength, it dramatically aids the communication of his ideas, thoughts and philosophy - in fact, his whole style is disarmingly unpretentious, considering his ferocious intellect. I think he took a more Orwellian stance on rhetoric, and his was all the better for it.
You're exactly right. It's easy to be verbose, but Hemingway was better than that. Like Twain said, "I would write a shorter letter but I'm afraid I have no time."
You forgot Queen. And while Britain has had some iconic rock, I could give you a name for every one you gave me (unfortunately I am more of a country man myself so this is unrealistic). Although I do love the Clash.

"Beach Boys" LOL
Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Phish, all way better in my opinion than the British bands you mentioned.

Hey Brit nationalists, fuck off. I'm an American and I think Gervais is brilliant. The divide here is not so much cultural as it is intellectual-- intelligent people usually seem to appreciate ironic humor; "thick" people of all nationalities usually do not. (And don't forget the "Carry On..." films and Benny fucking Hill, you xenophobic prats.)

as an internationalist Englishman, I agree. Don't forget buddy, the press works both ways - I hope your media isn't starting to hate us, and by the same token, I know the US has it's beautiful people so I ignore the shit I don't agree with. Glad you like our produce though - it has to be said, we are Kings of comedy.
VoodooChile1988 3 years ago 8
I concur. When it comes to literature, rock music and comedy, the UK over-achieves marvelously (and in a lot of other things as well). BTW, check out Gervais's old rock video-- very, very surprising.
rycal1 3 years ago 4
Hmmm, I'd agree with the literature and I'd say we're the world's best for rock music but I'm not sure about the comedy.
MissKateUK 3 years ago
If you're the from England, I'm thinking the opposite. Most funny comedians nowadays are British, but the greatest author of the twentieth century (hemingway) was ours. Rock music could go either way.
andomamern 3 years ago
The greatest American author of the 20th century arguably, but a bit of a stretch to call him the world's greatest of the century. Although many of his works were influential in the continued development of the modernist era, his work is usually considered to narrow thematically, and his style too economic, to take the mantle of 'greatest'.
brandoH85 3 years ago
I would consider him the greatest nontheless. Hemingway, with his "economic" writing, could command an image into the mind like no other and appear as though he weren't trying to.
andomamern 3 years ago
I think your right; I always thought his economy with words was a strength, it dramatically aids the communication of his ideas, thoughts and philosophy - in fact, his whole style is disarmingly unpretentious, considering his ferocious intellect. I think he took a more Orwellian stance on rhetoric, and his was all the better for it.
brandoH85 3 years ago
You're exactly right. It's easy to be verbose, but Hemingway was better than that. Like Twain said, "I would write a shorter letter but I'm afraid I have no time."
andomamern 3 years ago
Rock music will always be with Britain.
Rolling Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Eric Clapton, Iron Maiden, Oasis, The Clash, the Kinks, Ozzy.
That list can't be topped. Not even with your Elvis and Hendrix.
Many great metal guitarists are American tho, i'll give you that,
Geffukt 3 years ago
You forgot Queen. And while Britain has had some iconic rock, I could give you a name for every one you gave me (unfortunately I am more of a country man myself so this is unrealistic). Although I do love the Clash.
