Ricky Gervais: National disgrace

[highestsettings]

OMG is everyone on this fucking planet stupid or something? IT'S A JOKE. It's obviously a joke. Fucking hell.

[MultiLiam5]

"Chubby loser into an anarechsic millionaire" i lo'd pretty hard at that!

[AbadyDoubleX]

y the fuck does it say a national disgrace in here?

if any body agrees then they know nothing about comedy

[FacelessDeviant]

Well, FUCK YOU NARRATOR!

[1RothMan]

its not that we dont get it. its that its not funny

[binarytekk]

LOOOOOOOL

[theteler]

Only decent thing Gervais has done to date is expose Karl Pilkington to the world.

The Office is just truly awful!

[willdude100]

@theteler The office is not awful. It's a classic as it was the first of its kind as a comedy docu-drama. If you don't appreciate it, the chances are, you don't understand it.

[HaydnFitzsimons]

@willdude100 You worded that perfectly. Its not supposed to make you laugh out loud, per se. It's just like watching a documentary...thats hard to explain, but surely you get me. I love it either way.

[DerKnoppers]

Dicky Anderson?

is that you?

[Stefanbf2]

Whats is the background music? Sounds something like Enya.

[marcobarros23]

trollololololol

[juancamex]

Back in the 80's in Mexico there was a TV show called "MI SECRETARIA" (my secretary) and this ---Office--- is just a copy of that Mexican show from the 80's. So this "The Office" is not original at all..... Ricky go to the dentist and fix your mouth.

[Sethagrius]

@juancamex HAH! why would anyone ever steal anything from mexico, bit ironic isn't it? and completely false too hahaha!

[GenericRubbishName]

@juancamex I suggest you actually watch it.

[fateola]

@juancamex

Two shows set in an office? You're right, that's fucking scandalous. Next you'll be telling me there were shows set in apartments before Seinfeld.

[TheStol]

you gotta love this guy

[FatherCoen]

This is just the worst video ever made.

[jimjim506]

ironic or not this just wasn't funny

[TomValedro]

it's pretty funny people dont understand ironyyy

[daobagua]

@TomValedro Irony or sarcasm?

[lovemeordie83]

I get that this is a joke, and I'm all for jokes...this isn't funny though. This is just pointless abuse. I think Johnny Depp did better in his skit with Gervais.

[PaulWallsBalls]

If you don't realize this is a joke you're a fucking idiot

[IX10510IX]

@PaulWallsBalls Just saying something you don't mean doesn't make it funny. This is a horrible joke.

[133maxiboy]

How can he make such AWESOME comedy TV and stand up, and make such horrible movies? Extras, The Office and Lifes too short are some of the best comody ive seen on tv since ive been on this planet.

[ireternalexistence]

652 people are dumb and do not understand humour in all its forms.

[chopin65]

They just don't pay that man enough. He is a saint.

[kesambers]

I don't think this was sarcastic in any way, it's just ripping into (who I think) to be one of the best comedians in England today. Stupid video, waste of time.

[Snaporaznik]

@kesambers so you don't think Gervais had anything to do with the making of this video? Then you don't know his work, mate.

[kesambers]

@Snaporaznik He didn't actually, 'mate', so... 

[DrWoodbineSimms]

@kesambers ....you really think that?

[kesambers]

@DrWoodbineSimms ...I really know that

[paft]

Wow...I didn't know he was 50. Looks good for his age.

[thesimpsons17]

haha i am shocked at the amount of dislikes, is it not clearly obvious this is satire. Very good video. I dont want to blame americans who knows it might not be (probably is) but is satire and irony that difficult to understand.

[tidalwavedave305]

Dammit dammit dammit ... half to write critiques of Tennyson poems. Can't be torn from these damn Gervais videos.

[mudaphucker]

American made. American reporter, It's ok they don't understand.

[manchesterisred99]

gervais would actually probably like this vid, his humour

[cinimod351]

i DONT GET THE NEGITIVE TONE OF THE REPORT?

[DeathEgg666]

so is this video a joke or what?? cause i only laughed at ricky gervais' clips lol....the man is a fuckin legend!

[toolworks]

You can tell this is a joke as they called him anorexic

[urcritic]

Amen, this may technically be "satire" but it doesn't necessarily mean it's funny... Actually, so unfunny it's confused people in to thinking it's real. For that, I just had to click the little flag below the video, selected Spam -> Misleading Text

[cazz3000]

satirical? yes

funny? no

[Swearw0rd]

My summation is that people aren't disliking it because Ricky is being mocked, but that they're disliking it because it's a genuinely shoddy attempt at satire.

[gerby90]

@Swearw0rd Indeed, this kind of humour is way too easy, it's kindergarten-level.

[dazren2k7]

Get a sense of humour you jealous prick. He is good at what he does, by making people laugh. Just because he has loads of money and success from being good at a certain job it doesn't mean that you should critcise him. It's only because you wish you could be him, envious in other words, that you dislike him so much. So in other words you have wasted your time in making this ridiculous video. Thank you and good day, sir/madam. :) x

[LaraYokoshima]

Dense people are dense.

[magicdeynek]

ricky gervais isnt funny... if anything he is annoying... gets on my nerves

[TheBlueberryJuice]

didnt know he was so old

[Pandy187]

I get that this isn't serious... But it's just plain shite... That's probably why there's so many dislikes...

[hunkyfunkyjunky]

this isnt funny at all

[TheGreatDeciever55]

holy shit he looks good for 50-----thats what you get for selling your soul to hollywood---ahahaha nah i jest

[TheBake1986]

Yet another narrator trying to be funny, what a waste of 1:31

[PhatMuffinType]

Why do so many people not get that the condescending narrator is all just a joke?

[klaasdeboer]

@PhatMuffinType People get it, it's just not funny.

[TMTGAU]

this is genius

[thekanjiboy]

why so many dislikes? this is satirical... in other words, they are praising him!

[StereOasis93]

@thekanjiboy ahh now I fell like an idiot for disliking it before I listened to it..

[code933k]

@thekanjiboy Fuck them!

[ismartv]

@thekanjiboy

I think so as well. The "anorexic millionaire" part kind a gives them away. Even though I see how this video could easily be misinterpreted.

[TheSashbynoe]

@thekanjiboy Ummm........I don't think it is

[Sposchy]

@thekanjiboy

Americans don't understand satire. Unfortunately, Americans make up the majority of YouTube.

[Cart00n0]

@thekanjiboy oh yeah, fuck you -- just praising you!

[moediggity28]

@thekanjiboy Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. This was great.

[CodedRhythmTalk]

@thekanjiboy I hope you're right. Because if the message of this video is that Ricky is a national disgrace, I would have to disagree fully.

[merdufer]

@thekanjiboy People get that it's supposed to be a joke. It's just not very funny that's all.

[Zombievomit]

512 people have the sense of humour and intelligence of Mary Whitehouse's dust-covered clitoris.

[videogamenostalgia]

Yeah, leave comedy to the comedians next time...

[nobrakesukspeedway]

Ricky's new dance craze "N-n-n-n-n-n-n-knee" can be previewed here by pressing 8.

[utube2344]

lol the media tried so hard to demonize ricky and they failed because he was too awesome for fake people to handle.

[ExtrackterYT]

Oh no, Gervais must have slept with the uploaders girlfriend.

[lizismestupid]

LOL One of Ricky's many names is Brent. That's what Karl wishes his name were.

[Vanman7920]

@lizismestupid No that's Bret

[lizismestupid]

@Vanman7920 You're right. I'm dumb. :)

[Vanman7920]

@lizismestupid easy mistake ;-)

[jmmypaddy]

@lizismestupid you mean bret. had to correct you

[lizismestupid]

@jmmypaddy Yeah, someone told me a week ago. It's on this page - a quick search would have showed you I've already been corrected. Thank you!

[jmmypaddy]

@lizismestupid oops my bad lol.

[ytfmichaelxu]

watch?v=MQ0obzYBEcs Addon to preview video ratings on youtube so you can avoid running into crappy videos. Cheers mates. You can thank me and the the creator of this addon later.

[dgray167]

this guy should be locked up what a disgrace.

I thought i knew him..... turns out i didnt know him at all.

[AdriansPunk]

Your video makes as much sense as a Chinese person on coke. If Dwarf people didn'y get a job from Ricky, there's another 7 on the unemployed list... knob!

[itspetebruv]

lol

[frankjc22]

Which nob put this up.

[YTacc1100]

hey loul

[RagedJoker]

national tresure....... Best thing since sliced bread :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I watch Idiot Abroad 1 & 2 almost every day as well as the office and everthink eles he has done........ RICKY IS A LEGEND !!!!!!

[robertmmcclay]

people that don't like this are the idiots. Get a sense of humour

[madeira69]

national tresure!!

[FilmTrailersChannel]

He co wrote the Office, he co wrote Extras, he co wrote life's too short that have done really, really well. He sells out his gigs across the country and abroad. The man knows funny and is funny, and is one extremely intelligent man. Ricky is awesome.

[fakeaccount663]

@FilmTrailersChannel

the stuff including karl were more succesfull than lifes too short. an idiot abroad is most bought dvd and has highest ratings on sky

[FilmTrailersChannel]

@fakeaccount663 It maybe more successful, but it was never written by Gervais or Merchant. Karl Pinkerton, in his own right, has made his own success.

[fakeaccount663]

@FilmTrailersChannel

oh i what you mean now, the office was probably the greatest of all his work 4mill hits.

[liamjd1]

don't read the comments, they are all shit, including this one.

[porkymania90]

@liamjd1 lmao...yours isn't really shit, at least it's informative.

[cthulhu11111111]

i think it's appalling how they are exploiting that little dwarf. Ricky probably told him the show was some deep insightful parody of societies discrimination against dwarfs but really its just a circus. As for the dwarf, where are it's parents? Has ricky paid them off?

[disconnected8]

@cthulhu11111111 Fuck off, How patronising is that "Its parents" who do you think you are you either thick as shit or ignorant, Warwick Davies is a brilliant actor and Lifes Too Short was Warwicks idea you fucking idiot

[cosmocreeper]

seriously cant get over people trashing ricky gervais for "abusing short people." you rip him for it and you cant even call him by his name, Warwick Davis is a distinguished actor and a friend of Ricky and people going around feeling sorry for him assuming he cannot make decisions for himself, like he's having the wool pulled over his eyes, he's a rational adult, stop referring to him as the short guy ricky is embarrassing, your discriminating more than gervais has

[AlexRider001]

@cosmocreeper how the f*ck does nobody realize this video is meant SATIRICALLY

the commentator is NOT SERIOUS

jesus christ, people

grow some brain cells for the sake of humanity

[cosmocreeper]

@AlexRider001 fair enough, i was so high when i wrote that comment

[AlexRider001]

@cosmocreeper hahaha i'm high right now

so fuck it

[chinahands100]

gervais is very funny,but he has a great PR manchine behind him

[TotallyFritzl]

Tbh I think Smerch is the genius in the pair.

[1959boabster]

Honestly, take my word for it.

It's a spoof.

Why do Americanos not 'get' irony?

[britturk123]

@1959boabster We get irony just like you brits do, in the mornings on our cornflakes. Aha hum.

[Newham]

Why is this man shouting at me? I'd have an embarrassing career that's made me millions of pounds ahead of a 'honourable' career that involves making YouTube videos that are widely panned anyway.

[oOoFCBeastOoO]

Correct Sammyjo, Ricky is intelligent with comedy but is also very sensitive. When you combine the two it's outrageously funny. The mongbags who knock anything he does are clearly not intelligent enough to actually get the humour, oh yeah, there's also the outright hate filled douche bags who basically hate anything they are not equal to.

[sammyjopie]

@basista12 ...isn't this shit clip created and narrated by a Brit?

And it IS shit. Ricky is up there with Mitchell, Webb, Ayoade, Fry, Holness, Berry, Fielding & Barrett, Fulcher and Coogan as far as I'm concerned. Doesnt give a fuck about being 'PC' and does intelligent comedy for intelligent people. He's a genius and ahead of his time.

...and this is coming from a 'dumb american'

[basista12]

dumb americans



[Music4AII]

50? I thought he was 30 o.O

[1959boabster]

Englishfightback and others complaining about the video clearly don't 'get it'.

It's a spoof.

Probably written by Gervais himself.

[couer1911]

@1959boabster Probably wasn't written by Gervais as his work is generally well-written and funny...

[Englishfightback]

What the hell is going on with this article. Gervais is the only funny English comedian this side of the 20th century.

[kingduffy22able]

press 4 wait for 6 seconds hahaha......

[Isleofskye]

Sorry written at 3.50 AM in the dark so Typing errors.....lol

[ellagrace810]

BARRY FROM EASTENDERS!

[MrLukeEllen]

What? Ricky Gervais is one of the only great comedians remaining... He also introduced us to Karl Pilkington, the worlds funniest man!

[EarlofCrawford]

He's just not that funny. He was a one trick pony.

[Isleofskye]

@EarlofCrawford

True I LOVED those XFM Radio Shows and, of course, his Chat Shows as well.

Must admit he is a great Author and Cartoonist and has made some good Cameo Film appearances and written some great Comedy sketches.

I forgot about his Stand-Up Tour breaking The World Record for instant sales and his volume of Pod-Casr sales created another World Record.

Superb Compere at Awards and Exrras was one of the best Comedies of the last 50 years.

Continued....

[Isleofskye]

Respond to this video...

Oh! Nearly forgot....Someone said he wrote and starred in a prog. called "The Office" or something like that.....don't know of that was true though:)

Apart from Producing/Writing/Directing.Ac­ting/Compereing in Theatre/Cinema/TV/Radio what else has he dome ?

[The1chihira]

SHORT PEOPLE

[sheermanfly]

Ricky gervais - national treasure

[DanReado]

crap video .



[TechMyLifeVideo]

what a crap video, who uploads this shit.

[akm326]

leave the comedy to ricky ITN

[akm326]

leave the comedy to ricky boys...

[leakeg]

love how Barry from eastenders comes in at the end. Still desperate for work I take it!

[johnpetermalcolm]

@leakeg

Oh my dear young Antipodean sir.

I fully understand how a person would go to great extremes to obtain gainful employment. However; on no account should any gentleman be desperate enough that they would advertise the fact that they are willing to "take it", to secure a position. Is there not work to be had inserting Jumbucks into Tucker Bags at the Billabong these days?

Did the royalties from the Osmonds song "And they call it Cobber love" not help at all?

[leakeg]

@johnpetermalcolm ahaha! But kind sir, the lack of comma in the referenced sentence indicates that perhaps by only some Freudian slip from the deep and dark recesses of your subconscious have you come to your apparent misinterpretation!

[JSCwrd]

I thought this was funny

[TwoTube2]

Rubbish video.

[TobyHarrisMusic]

Lol

[iDrownKittns]

Gervais = Genius.

[flackz16]

This is satire at its worse.

[mbfriar]

This video is not funny in any regard what so ever. Try harder guys, alot harder.

[terrypussypower]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ricky himself was behind this video !

[wight1984]

Christ. It does not say much for his fanbase that people can't see that this is just a joke. Even worse for those who whined about other people not having a sense of humour; that's an own goal right there.

[triangl]

@wight1984 it's just a crap joke that's all.

[MitchofSmeg]

@wight1984

I think ricky would understand this joke though at least XD

[cobrakai83]

this is literally the least funny thing i have ever seen.. epic epic fail.

[bodsnvimto]

Warwick Davis is brilliant! 

[phpgenie]

ITNExtreme, you're idiots.

[jurrassicsparks]

when are people going to have a laugh without being offended?Hes brilliant.Back in the 70s we had brilliant comedy like Till Death Do Us Part and Love thy neighbour.These wouldnt be allowed on tv now because they offend minorities.Tough shit,the majority love it and all the piss take.

[cmomofilm]

@jurrassicsparks The most moronic part of this "can't offend anyone" attitude is the fact that program makers seems to think if they offend anyone they've done something wrong. Its not any ones right to not ever be offended, its ok to be offended as long as you're mature enough to deal with it like a adult. Theres this odd thing about "respect" where people seem to think if there offended by anything their not being respected and somehow have been unfairly treated. People need to grow up.

[wight1984]

@cmomofilm People don't have a right to not be offended, they do have a right to express their offence however.

Bit moot because this video is obviously not serious anyway :o/

[merivaviva]

hhahahaha hope this is a joke,,,

[Olaffbog]

He didn't rteally kick the dwarf,he was just acting. Is this not obvious, all his piss-taking is scripted and read with those out of whom he takes the piss. Stan-up is different, granted but maybe we should just all get a sense of humour or get over the fact other people laugh at things we don't. As part of the sme nation, I don't think he's a disgrace. A littlearrogant at timesfor my liking but,hey, I'll just have to get over that, he stillmakes some bloody funny stuff.

[wight1984]

@Olaffbog Getting a sense of humour would be good. Let's start by not seriously critiqueing an obvious piss-take that was never meant to be taken seriously...

[AdamGoulett]

Kicking over a dwarf on TV is just him trying to make himself look bad.

[backofmykneeisaminge]

Hahahah Bollocks. Talking shit , Play a record

[lozzaz]

RICKY GERVAIS IS AMAZING! SOD OFF VOICE OVER NOB

[DoomCatcher]

fuck of you sad bastard you dont know anything you judge before you understand

[adamski220972]

keep it down!!! hes top!!

[TheManWithTVEyes]

As a child I always carried a gun to snowball fights in case I ran out of snowballs. [Her name was Phyllis. The name Phyllis means: to be trained by the Viet Cong to kill us.]

[TheManWithTVEyes]

GUIDE TO PHYLLIS: Her name was Phyllis till she tried to kill us. Who wants to kill us? Look no further than Phyllis! Phyllis, Phyllis, Phyllis, please don't kill us, kill us, kill us! One day of negotiations with Phyllis equal a willfulness on her part to kill us, oh yeah!!! I'm in love with the Phyllis who poisons our testimonies and guides the destinies of the shaken.

[tac3571]

That was a bit pointless, nice waste of time.

[tommos1]

round headed mankunias lol

[WhackoMacko]

lol .. sloppy journalism at its best .. grats on wasting some space on the internet with meaningless, evocative drivel

[AartyMc]

At what point did they think this was of any comedic value

[oli696969]

how did this cunt make something so shit !!!

[mikeyholding]

what is this shite? seriously, what are you doing

[buffjoe66]

''from chubby loser to anorexic millionaire'' haha! Ricky Gervais is my hero. I honestly think he would find this funny

[CROMERCRABO1]

RICKYS GOTA BE IN ON THIS

[richiehehir711]

@ITNExtreme Jealous people really make me laugh. He was a singer back in the day. The office was revelutionary as it was the pioneer of sitcoms done in documentary format. No-one else has done it as good either!

[WeGameAlotSir]

lol



[al1robson]

he's not called RICHARD, he was named RICKY at birth, RICKY DENE GERVAIS, fact.

[OurFreedomIsFalse]

Gervais is a LAD!! National disgracce..... Where's your head at?

[AfroGaz71]

Ahh come off it. I can't believe there are people here that think this is serious criticism of RG. It's just a funny viral.

[philyB08]

Hahahahahah i love how no-one gets it. I bet Ricky would piss himself if he seeing this.

[SuperSquishface]

I found his hilarious...

[pattonbox76]

It's called sarcasm people.

[jayshiz]

@pattonbox76 Its not very good sarcasm though is it, really.

[furuzon12]

THE GUY IN THE END WAS BARRY! from eastenders

[bigblackmanswilly]

@furuzon12 yeah lol he seems to be having trouble finding a good acting career atm
