Ricky and Steve - Comic Relief 2009

[jbdtaylor]

Hahahaha! I love that his hand covers the "b" on "One Eyed Cub"! Very subtle, very brilliant.

[IlRezzonico]

It's like a franchise. I'm like Ronald McDonald. But I ain't no clown - what money we talkin'?

[titusbrambleisahero]

@InsertGayCODNameHere the amazingly hot composer.

[WOODLEY1981]

@cokerainbows couldn't agree more with you mate re. the chicken scene as they enter his office, absolutely hilarious to see him knowing at it like some 17th century monarch!

[TomValedro]

British people say that americans dont understand irony but seems they dont understand it well either.

[JackalDude15]

@TomValedro you would be wrong there :)

[TomValedro]

Anne is ugly as fuck.

[itsageoffrushthing]

Hilarious!!!

[juliusreea]

Classic Gervais/Brent blink at 2.42.

[hvkv0000]

Stephen Merchant is fricking funny!!!

[1927Rhys]

It's New Man off of Phone Shop

[whitexchina]

Funny how they always act like Stephen is Rickys slave

[AndrewTally]

the audience weren't smart enough to get Gervais' comedy

[whitexchina]

@AndrewTally

Yes, there was more laughing in my house then there.

[ScabbyHole99]

There´s been a rrrrape up there, There´s been a rrrrape up there

[upstateNYcuties]

When Ricky tosses the poultry into that bucket, I just laughed so hard I think I pulled a muscle in my stomach. I need to go to the hospital I think. I'm not kidding.

[cokerainbows]

@upstateNYcuties lmao hes too funny! the chicken bit got me too, also when hes sitting there knawing on it, fucking hilarious

[TheBlacks198]

[johnny4297]

''I don't even give my family money''

[jake27990]

hahaha I want Ricky Gervais, Alan Carr and Russel Brand to do something together

[slamt08]

ricky and alan are freinds but i doubt russel will be doing anything with them

especially after the thing with jonathan ross

[hol8369]

the hottest guy on this video......Stephen Merchant! :)

[fitzforever]

"oh mum..."

[ResidentBiznitch]

Oh my god, Ricky on the segway just had me cracking up :P

[dcgauld]

How awesome, didn't expect Louis Walsh to turn up in that!

[RationalTruth]

hahaha bloody brilliant!

[wangman]

the composer iS HOT!!!!

[Sentenashi]

fucking this

[sussamsl]

@wangman so so fit

[katy12345rose]

lol is louis walsh gay????? this raises suspision....

[maxypadzzz]

gay as xmas.. boyfriend and all

[Dante1Savage]

The Segway gag is stolen from Arrested development, probably the best sitcom of all time.

[Elrich89]

Not "stolen", inspired by. Ricky lists Arrested Development as one his favourite TV shows on his blog.

[marinejackson]

hahahaha i didnt think louy wud b that funny!

[WinR789]

shit audience

[lasermission]

lol just cos you don't understand the jokes! gervais and merchant have forged their own genre of humour

[kelso120]

wasnt talking about ricky and steve, was talking about alan carr and fern britian, they deserved to be flushed down the toilet. non talanted turds.

[bindiyay]

Lol yes - forged, then replicated, and then parodied with undying success. Love 'em. (UCL Massive!! XD)

[andpand99]

you know when u do a poo and it kinda hurts, like ur not really ready to do it, well i did one of those while i shouldve been watchin this.... its funny the things u remember, really hurt my bum!

[alx90x]

my god anne marry me

[TheTruthExplodes]

not if i marry her first, lol

[iowacub1]

I almost spit my breakfast out when Gervais rolled out in the segway with the cheesy outfit.

And yes, Anne is incredibly gorgeous.

[EminemBase]

Gervais is a comedy genius. My least fave Gervais coemdy relief sketch though. 07 was the best.

[massiveants]

I'm in love with Anne.

[imsuchalawyer]

lousy audience

[markit39]

f**king geniuses haha.....shoot

[MDAFQI]

Anne is fucking hot!!!!

OMFG

[RushInAttack]

Fuckin' ey

[Ludde365]

Yeah. Wtf. She looks too good to be true.

[jizz08814]

theres been a rape up there!

[deansum]

Did they cut the laughter out this or something? Or were the audience waiting for Graham Norton or some shit?

[ProfessorPiano]

Don't think so. Can hear laughter from 08:00

To be honest, Comic Relief audiences always suck.

[deansum]

I suppose an audience that has been made to watch starving kids etc might not be in the best of moods lol. very funny set though, pure talent

[outtameds]

THat's funny but the first comic relief was

'86 not '88

[JukeboxJoe1]

fuckin awesome

[Kingelessar1]

Best part 2:00 to 215!

[squirehendrix]

Those paintings of Louie Walsh are so funny!!

[MsTimelady71]

God I miss Steve and Ricky. The US Office is good but not the same

[hididdlyho82]

It's a franchise I'm like Ronald McDonald, but I ain't no clown!

[Albionwhore]

LOL "I don't even give my family money." What the fuck is wrong with this audience? This was so perfect. Anything that isn't as blatant as Little Britain goes straight over their heads...

[ajmcc8]

that was probably one of the funniest things i have ever seen, ricky gervais is a once in a generation comedian. i don't understand how people didn't wet themselves, although, there was a lot of in-humour, if you didn't know rickys style you might not find it funny

[lickstickly]

completely agree comic relief audiences are the worst, steve coogan got the same problem in a sketch he did with simon pegg, you have to throw a bloody pie to appeal to them

[pacbizkit]

i found it reli funy, n i got all the subtle in jokes n stuff. bt i rarely laff owt loud, maybe its the same with that audience, plus the fact theyve had starvin africans shoved down ther throats all nyt lol

[sanmal88]

I don't much care for westlife.

[Jaspeare]

he tried too hard in the one with Bono too which was only mildly funny. He can't be too subtle in these broad comic relief sketches.

[123432112323]

You guys are crazy upset about the naming of people in certain countries, We have people over here, who have no ancestory from africa, or have ever been there, calling themselves african americans.... lol, it's not worth it.

[ritareyes100]

Obviously you do not know your history very well. The Low standards of the Americans. He has never had a television show in America that I am aware of. But he has had two in Britain, The Office and Extras. Who has the low standards now.

[Blongers1]

It amazes me that Ricky Gervais has been able to ride his miniscule talent for as long as he has.

Its testament to the low standards of Americans.

I remember him wandering the Edinburgh festival a few years ago in a bad fitting pin stripe suit, trying to drum up work. To me he hasnt changed one bit, funny, but not that bloody funny.

[barty417]

he's trying too hard and this isn't funny

[loneranger1990]

definitely

[Sentenashi]

I'd tap the composer.

[lauramwynne]

crowebrook:i hate to break the newa to you but if your from southern ireland, you are not british!!!

[XxxxxCluelessxxxxX]

2:58 !!!!

[lauramwynne]

west life are irish NOT british!!!

[nordhorny]

He said "based on the songs of one of Britain's best loved bands"

This is ambiguous, it could mean (as you have interpreted it) 'a band from Britain and one of the best loved (which IS INCORRECT because they are from the R o I) or it could mean 'one of the best loved bands in Britain' meaning they are popular in Britain, but not implying they are British.

I am from Northern Ireland and know the sensitivities of wrong labelling and I would correct anyone being ignorant about such things.

[pocketjeffs]

if the British want to claim Westlife as their own, let them. Fill their boots I say

[nordhorny]

well it is subjective ignorance if we do....

[pocketjeffs]

I was making a satirical point regarding how terrible Westlife are/were. I wasn't making a political comment but I admire your beliefs...But seriously Westlife are English. If only we had a band as great as them...ahem

[nordhorny]

I suspected so, as was just closing the door on any suggestion that they are british. It is not a 'belief'. And why do you finish with 'But seriously Westlife are English' ? They are not english nor british, but irish.

[crowebroke]

They're from the British Isles ie = British. Accept it.

He didn't say from the UK or Great Britain. If you come from one of England's satellite countries you're British, even if you do buy your cornflakes with Euros.

[njomahony]

alright, relax there love. im irish and i really really dont care. are you actually proud theyre from ireland? bunch of eejits anyway.

[amiblueful]

I think Steve is even funnier than Ricky in this.

"Ricky Gervais says..."

[Qunir]

the guy who plays the producer is such a shit actor

[bokchoybritt]

LMFAO...Knawing on that chicken!

[viewright]

Stephen!!!! yummy!!!

[Obscene3D]

quite humorous

[mknightfilms]

great sketch

[BRESLIN6490]

And they say nobody ever posts useful comments on the internet. Thanks DJOTC.

[vultureslove]

Steve is looking fiiiiiiiine in that black suit :P

[DJOTC]

At that time Ireland was called "The land of Saints and Scholars" as its Monks traveled throughout Europe teaching Farming Practices, Civil duty, Manuscript writing and of course Christianity. My point is history is a long process, it may not been long until England and Wales are the only ones left in the Union, then where will the power be? ...see things change ......they always do, at times you are up and times you are down... sure as the sun will set tonight.

[Revelian1982]

Ah so, grasshopper...

[DJOTC]

And of course not forgetting that Irish Monks Re-christianized hugh portions of Britain and Europe in the 7, 8 and 9th century, Britain at that time lost its native language(Welsh is the only remaining language similar) and Christianity after the invasion of the Anglo Saxons.. they were reverted to Paganism and took on the Germanic/Danish Language called "Anglish"(Now called English).

[BRESLIN6490]

As an American I'm interested in reading this Irish vs British debate. Isn't Northern Ireland still technically part of Great Britain?

[DJOTC]

It's actually not part of Great Britain, it's part of the United Kingdom. It is so because of the plantations of Ulster during the reign of Queen Lizzy. There were two failed plantations (Munster and Offaly) before that but the plantation of Ulster worked and as you can see in todays history came back to be a thorn in the side of Westminister ever since. Sad really, as no one is a winner up there.

[BRESLIN6490]

So I take it that was a Westlife song playing at the end there? That twisted version that Louis Walsh plays of himself reminds me of Les Dennis' role in Extras.

[DJOTC]

A bit like shooting someone then walking them to hospital.

[JohnTrellez]

-"ricky gervais wants to know why theyre singing everything"

[atthepistol]

'I don't even give my family money' Haha.

[begood20000]

Westlife are Irish not British

[atthepistol]

Ahh no! I wish I could claim them as British. Damn. You fucking prick. British bands are the most successful in the world with Americans not too far behind.

[begood20000]

And while we're on it- U2 are Irish and not British!

[atthepistol]

Yes they are. I realize that. Are there any more? Or is that your country's claim to music? I have been studying the subject for all of my academic life... I know music. If there is one argument I am best in, It's music. Have you heard of Radiohead, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, the Rolling Stones, The Who, David Bowie, the Sex pistols, Joy division, the Smiths, the Specials, Oasis, Blur? and your blabbing on about Westlife? British music changed the world im not just saying that.

[begood20000]

Of course they're good bands. It's not about one country having better bands than the next. I don't even like Westlife but the simple fact is that when Irish bands are mentioned on English t.v. they say that they're British when that's not their nationality.

Also, on t.v., Ireland is continually referred to as being part of the British Isles. This is just not true.

Anyway, I'm sure people don't want to be reading our comments that have nothing got to do with Ricky Gervais.

[atthepistol]

Well lets just clear this up. Every time I come across a Irishman, on youtube especially, they are always going on about being from Ireland and how they 'ARE NOT BRITISH' I have no idea why you are so against being part of a Great Power and one with such amazing history. Seriously- What do you do to contribute to the world? I'm not trying to sound rude but I want to know. There is always so much going on in Britain, when I went to Ireland nothing seemed to be happening so why are you so proud?

[begood20000]

you are not even worth talking to because your ignorance of history is huge.

[atthepistol]

Exactly. If I am so wrong then why don't you correct me istead of just telling me I'm wrong? I'm right, and that's why your getting annoyed. Please teach me. I am very interested in history.

[begood20000]

Ok, i'll give you one example because there is too much to go into right here.

Go on to wikipedia and look up the Great Famine Ireland.

It's about the Famine in Ireland where 1 million people died of starvation while the British government exported food from the country.

So don't give me this- Britian has an 'amazing history' bullshit.

Listen mate, I like British people, but you should really educate yourself before making silly comments. Or would you like more rope?

[atthepistol]

The people of England raised £200,000 pounds for Ireland, and that was in the 1840s an queen Victoria donated £2000. I know that this was a disgraceful, selfish moment for the British history but, we didn't attack Ireland. Nor did we intend for the Irish to die. It was a disease in the farming industry. Not a war. I will defend my comment of Britain having amazing history and by that I mean we invented almost everything you see in the modern world. I'll send you a PM with a list.

[DJOTC]

Good God Irelands contribution to world culture is immense:

Here's just a handful to help u get started:

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington (saved you from speaking French as your first language)

James Joyce

WB Yeats

Oscar Wilde (Greatest wit of all time)

Michael Collins

John P. Holland (invented the Submarine)

[lickstickly]

oh cmon dude im Welsh and most of those Irishman lived most of their lives in England, dont get into a xenophobic debate with the English as u wont win, getting back to the sketch i just wanna say comic relief audiences are the worst audiences in the world, they barely tittered at that hilarious sketch, the same thing happened with Steve Coogan & Simon Pegg in the milkybar kid skit (which is also on youtube)

[Pinskip2]

There must be a shitload of outtakes from this.

[thetalkincow]

it's steven....steven merchant. haha

[kekkeyou]

I´m like Ronald Mcdonald, but I ain´t no clown :D

[MinkyWhistle]

Louis Walsh? He's a judge on a TV talent show over here, do you have X Factor or Pop Idol? Not sure what he did before that.

[BRESLIN6490]

Could someone from the UK fill me in on who the guy at the end is? I love all Gervais' Red Nose Day stuff. The one from 2 years ago where he fakes being in Africa was outstanding.

[kkurrukk]

Best moment at 02:40

[BobKaz37]

ricky-g- industries...lol..wicked

[AlbanZap]

Ann 'The Composer' is hot.

[Serpico69]

how can anyone NOT laugh at this??

gervais = awesomness

[crazyelves]

lol classic Gervais

[Kleavers]

To with vis à vis am I, or am I not like my brilliant comic reation, David Brent, entering, my-self, versus, ongoing, fictional, personality, dichotomy...I would say...no I'm not...what?

[upstateNYcuties]

SILENCE! Please welcome Ricky Gervais.

[chapmanhamilton]

Ricky Gervais says..."Why is David Brent so FAT? hahahahahahah!!!

[alroyshmon]

i nearly shat myself when hen came in on a sagway

[andycollings93]

this was so funny, I didnt get why the audience was so quiet

[Melodize2009]

i'm like ronald mcdonald , but i ain't a clown

omg i just pissed my pants. . HEHEHEHE

[intheTea04]

the audience are muppets - not even a chuckle at some of the best lines.

[ErniePi]

exactly, nothing that aint lenny henry n they dont care

[CobaltKris]

Comic relief audiences are always dead - Alan Partridge got the same treatment.

[lurchm]

Anne is nice.

[lonelygnome1]

"I'm like Ronald Mcdonald. Only I ain't no clown." lol

[olqutseg]

You're not even wearing a tie...

HAHAHAHAHA

[Aikosar]

pfft, Ireland aint a part of britain

[tGJimo]

lmao I love the ricky gervais comic relief skits.

[JAStewart]

Amazing.

[racheln23]

ahhhhhhhhhh hhahahahahhahahaha

[SimulacronX]

Haha... Gervais can be so despicable...

Lovely how he impersonates characters he hates in real life I guess.

[MrSGCJosh]

Can we have some moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

[Ben00981]

One eyed cu......b ha

[MikeAllenHouse]

i laughed so fkin hard at him eatin the chicken.. WTF! loll

[DUELMOUNTAINPICTURES]

"I don't even give my family money"lol

[purplenurps]

If he does a new sitcom, the person who he is acting would be a good character

[shoegazero]

the art of acting r.g.

[butterz2butterz2]

there was like no laughing what the fuck is going on?

[Seantelle]

Love these guys, so so funny. :)

[scottiii]

why was there so little laughter?

the bit where merchant catches the remains of his chicken in the bin and changes his shirt is one of the funniest things i've ever seen..

[zonkerschulz16]

Yeah, I think it was technical difficulties because you don't hear anything until like half way through. Even the crowd hated it, you would have heard some light chuckling or something.

[danjosimo3000]

you know what I like? I like the fact he's acting as the Brentmeister General.

[jonnyoverlord]

Love Gervais stuffing his face with Chicken then Smerch changing him into a new clean t-shirt....LOL

[barty417]

godddddddddddddddddddddddddddd fuck's sake

that was turning really funny then the shitty studio audience came in and killed it

i hate hearing other dumbass fucks laugh when im trying to watch

[ihab1000]

steve and ricky are genius!

[JDaring59]

lmfao. they are incredible (gervais/merchant). I was laughing my ass off, I don't know if they gave the audience tranquilizers or what, because that was pure genius.

[JohnnyDarko88]

Christ that office musical was bad

[dermotmac]

anyone know what part of britain westlife are from?
