@Scrumdidilyumpchious Worry not, 'Lifes Too Short' has been given the go ahead and is being sorted at the moment :D All about a talent agency specialising in dwarfs :D With Smerch, Gervais and Warrick Davis :D Cannot wait!
I love it when Andy Millman pretends no to hear or not understand the question when he get's caught in an awkward situation, so funny! I'd probably do the same lol.
@TheDEATHSTARIII - they didn't burn out because of predictability. they burnt out because the actors were getting too old for the role. friends actors couldn't have played the same silly characters as 40+ year olds. David Jason and Nic Lyndhurst couldn't be traders in their 60s and 70s either. It would have been stupid.
The sarcastic 'Yeeeessss...well done' at 6.00 ish is brilliant! Attempting to project his own embarassment onto her (unsuccessfully). Such clever writing.
@pianomags It may sound racist, but look at what inner city areas with high ethnic minority populations are like, they tend to be on the rough side. But of course Gervais and Merchant live in Hampstead.
@24000v The world is between 4.5 qnd 5.6 billion years old. Storytelling in printed form has existed for some 5000 years. Film, radio, TV, internet etc have all been developed in the last 100 years. Captain Pottie's Wildlife Encyclopaedia was published four years before Flanimals - in the same country and had been submitted to the same agents used by Gervais..
Ricky Gervais is a plagiarist and a cretin. Get over it.
I'm assuming you have written several sitcom's and childrens books all totally original? No of course you haven't you have reached the pinnacle of human acheivement by criticising other peoples work on youtube in between visits to Red Tube.
Plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery. No ideas are original and are always influenced by something else it is human nature. If you find it funny then laugh and enjoy it, twat.
oh wow check out that shot at 7:54, it looks exactly like the shot at the beginning of the law and order uk credits. Obviously they're both london but it's from almost the same angle.
yer, when I seen him in the Night at the Museum, he also appeared to be acting like david brent.
I think, because of the success of the office, he thinks his acting has to somehow resemble david brent. it's kind of silly really cause' he should be acting like brent in other things.
in the version that went out in america, he says, "more like richards simmons", at around the 4 minute mark. and it's one of the best lines of the series.
End part is a clear dig at Little Britain I thought- the same sketch again and again, slightly rewritten, catchphrases shouted a thousand times- but now doing it abroad!
god, that scene with the journalist has to be the single greatest Merchant/Gervais achievement in awkward humiliation in the series.
when he laughs and trys to play it off like the whole thing was a practical joke, i involuntarily turn beet red and cover my face every single time. such a fucking humiliating moment! every thumb upward!
Watching David Brent / Andy Millman constantly dig himself into huge, gaping holes (matron!) should get tiresome but Gervais executes the awkwardness so well it never gets old. No matter how often you watch.
@AnsellsBrewery some bits do get really tiresome. Maggie's character gets tiresome. The words change but the premise for all her jokes are the same. She's really stupid, she fucks something up, says the wrong thing. Same thing over and over. She only has like 2 facial expressions also. Laaaaaaaame.
i like how he (the estate agent - well, Gervais and Merchant as the writers) turns the "negative" aspects of the area (the various ethnic communities) into a positive by describing the different types of food of the aforementioned ethnic minorities - very clever writing.
