Bowie Gervais

[MrNobrainer69]

little newt gingrich for sure!!

[123soonny]

1:13 Woman in the background laughs :)

[blaquecousteau]

its the uk the office

[LordJusticar]

@blaquecousteau It is Extras, actually. A different show but just as great.

[andyknight1]

Ashley Jenson is hot

[andyknight1]

"But the twat would probably miss" LMAO

[kurtizzyflush]

The whole scene is Pythonesque yet also sounds like an outtake from circa Aladdin Sane. An insult anyone would be proud to take home to mum.

[marcel911]

I love the part where Ashley points at his nose. :)

[ToBeQuiteHonest]

'little fat man who sold his soul'

'the little..?'

[B1ushMoe]

@ToBeQuiteHonest he is 5.7ft

[MrAndyknight]

Christ this could be about me !!!! fuck off Bowie

[FlyingTurtletastic]

If Bowie was singing a song about ME, I'd be thrilled beyond words.... whether it was an insult or not wouldn't matter... ;)

[abigword]

"fatty? fatso?"

"Fatso. I like fatso"

hahahahaha

[BlueJean1138]

I could prolly take any insult if bowie sang it to me too....me gusta

[nickpelkey]

thank you so much.

[crazytosh1]

I wonder if David Bowie has heard Ricky Gervais' old musical exploits

[EviscerationK]

Barry's backing vocals are brilliant!

[OldskolFan]

This is so wrong but so dang funny! Bowie is brilliant...

[dljc1979]

gervais must have been in heaven seeing and listening to that...

[quaintlullabies]

And that, my friends, is how you burn someone.

[JJackAL52]

Bowie is so naturally deadpan comedic it's too funny to behold. That Gervais actually wrote the lyrics is amazing, the guy is greatly 'thick skinned' to do something like this. Incredibly humorous complement of talents.

[Gflapcamel]

@9pt9 - possibly better than many things that have not or not yet been filmed. Ever.

[Pentax25]

What is this from?

Also is there a longer version of this song? Is this one of David Bowies songs with different lyrics of was it made just for this?

[aradioactivedonut]

@Pentax25 he wrote the music just for it, and Ricky/Steven wrote the lyrics.

[MossyKong]

Bowie defeated Chuck Norris. FACT!

[KahlanPendragon]

"They all just wished he die"

[9pt9]

Possibly the best scene ever filmed about anything ever.

[PhantomWerewolf]

david bowie has got to be the only man to insult a person by using a piano and a peppy tune.

[poorlittlerichiegirl]

this song needs to be on itunes

[zalmanusa]

Love the way he stares in the air 0:20, fucking genius.

[MariusBorjans]

Actually I think this song is awesome!! If there'll ever be a cd around I'd buy it!

[TaraLaTrash]

favorite extras moment ever :D

[jigalojim]

yes its brilliant Linda, perfect delivery from Ricky

[ADyingFaith]

Imagine this really happening to someone with everyone in the room all joining in. 

[rabiesarebad]

i would be honored to be ruthlressly insulted by david bowie via song

[freqeist]

T.V. Gold.

[misskittie1313]

awwws! lol!

[ADyingFaith]

This has me laughing right the way through. I love it.

[KurtCobainof21]

Apparently Ricky sent an email to bowie on his 60th birthday saying "isnt time you got a real job?"

Bowies reply was

Dear Ricky,

I do have a real job,

David Bowie,

Rock God

[ryanlovesmike]

@KurtCobainof21 True story.......

[RealJollyRoger]

Hear: "He's got no style, he's got no grace" and think of Donkey Kong 64. Anyone else?

[NaxleSmith1993]

@RealJollyRoger Indeed!

[Oniterian]

Bowie is fucking amazing.

[tonybalognamacaroni]

bowie in spay-hay-hay-hace

[MrSeanpm91]

bowie is the man!

[drinkmusik]

this was my favorite scene in the show

[nemoalpha]

1:09 "but the TWAT would probably miss!" - "yes, linda, i like that..." this had me lol'ing mighty fine. :)))

[katewixen]

wish he'd die? LOL how cruel

[coys77]

Gervais should have won a Golden Globe for this; and then mentioned how shit the Extras Xmas special was..

[ReDucT0r]

Where do I get the mp3?



[CarcPazu]

@ReDucT0r You can surely download it on the stupidquestions website google that up. I hope it helps!

[ThomasNBVB]

"the little....?"

hilarious :D

[ut2k4wikichici]

I love Extras

[CheetahLuver12]

I want to see the full episode! Anyone know where I can find it? XD god bowie's 59 or so here and still too damn sexy! and hilarious! :DDD

[daflsaurus]

i just want to hug ricky 1:23 - 1:25!!! awwwww

[LordChimpKing]

Ricky's music career was embarrassing and a complete rip-off of Bowie.

Good thing he gave up.

[first2nd2002]

@LordChimpKing good thing he was able to take a little distance and reinvent himself.

[LordChimpKing]

@first2nd2002

Oh yeah, his comedy is awesome.

[ChloeDust]

I actually love this so much, so catchy!

[Lockhart2000]

Is it weird that even though this is a comedy bit I actually love this tune? Is Bowie that good?

[RawPower]

@Lockhart2000 yes!

[JohnbMoody]

@Lockhart2000: Bowie is ABSOLUTELY that good!

[sexpistol1979]

there is allways david bowie

he is the same bowie throughout all this time

he is a constant in our lives =]

[silhouettesbanduk]

Bowie is a comedy genius, series 2 of extras dvd has an interview with him which is priceless

[yakidk89]

Better than anything Bowie has ever done.

[ChannelEden]

I was waiting for ricky to launch a bottle at him, lol

[vorkutaman]

Bowie is God!

[dejahthoris]

@vorkutaman i painted that on a wall in '70. My cousin narced on me and i had to scrub it off with muratic acid

[vorkutaman]

@dejahthoris your cousin isevil!

[MOOTAR1000]

pug pug .. pug pug ... see his pug face .. pug pug fuck me when i first saw this on telly i almost died of laughter

[Robmire]

I swear that Piano just appears out of nowhere in that episode? haa

[pauljn147]

I wept with laughter when I first saw this.

[Luke2903maccom]

I love this song

[ChunkyDude68]

What ever happened to David Bowie?

[malteeaser101]

Lol I love it when he turns round and sorta daydreams and whispers "chubby little loser" LMAO! Ricky Gervais is awsme! Comedy Genius!

[ps3sucksassballs]

0:59 bowie sounds exactly like michael caine. was bugging me for ages

[Bodacea1]

@ps3sucksassballs They come from the same part of South London I think. So maybe that's why.

[abeesty1]

yes linda i like it!

yeah so do i, its brilliant linda!

CLASSIC GERVAIS BRILLIANT!

[marshalllucky]

I think this was really cruel of davis boey , ricky jarvis is better at comedy than bowey is at music, note they dont show boweys hands playing piano, can bowey even play?well I have NEVER seen bowey play piano in my life.....

[Bapessss]

@marshalllucky This is a clip from his show Extras, it wasn't real :)

[Bodacea1]

@marshalllucky Firstly; it's David Bowie. Secondly, it's Ricky Gervais. Thirdly (if there is such a word); If you think it's cruel then complain to Ricky Gervais who wrote it. And yes, it's not real. And if you think Bowie can't play the piano then you haven't seen enough Bowie in your life because if you had you would've seen the Oh you Pretty Things Old Grey Whistle test clip on here where he blatantly plays the piano. And yes; he' wrote this little ditty on the piano to Gervais's words.

[marshalllucky]

@Bodacea1 I still dont think he should be saying ricky jarvis has a plug nose face , old bowey isnt that good looking and he should be grateful to jarvais for giving him a slot on his show ( I`ve not seen bowey on tv since the 80`s )not making fun of his features.

[Bodacea1]

@marshalllucky Let me repeat myself... Bowie not Bowey, Gervais not Jarvis and Ricky wrote the words to the song... get it? And you're in a minority about Bowie.

[marshalllucky]

@Bodacea1 thats exactly what I`m saying bovvie is no phil collins but at least he`s accepted the help from richy jervis which may help him if he ever makes a comeback , we are really singing from the same songsheet at last ;-)...see his plug nose face..plug plug....plug plug.......

[Bodacea1]

@marshalllucky Whatever...I see now you're just trying to wind people up. Either that or you're incredibly stupid. Over and out.

[steelyd2]

@marshalllucky david bowie toured as iggy pop's keyboard player in the late '70s. he was also the single most influential musician to come out of that era. also his name is spelled bowie.

[tomhib01]

It's from the Office I think! The english one obviously!

[Meouwww]

So that how Bowie-songs are born?! I love that! xD

[mejsjalv]

nothing like the deadpan cruelty of British humour! :D

[MsCheddarBear]

This is flippin' hilarious!

[TheMatty1997]

I'D buy this song!!!

[piaaguilos]

poor ricky hahah

[helloimjulia]

whats this from?

[thiagoroberti]

@helloimjulia Hello julia. This is an excerpt from the second episode of the second season of BBC's "Extras", written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

[GrimMeph]

sweet christ that was awesome.

[RATIO3533]

Classic! Even Barry from Eastenders is getting into it... Brilliant

[GBS1043]

Shaun Williamson (Barry Evans), still had hair when this clip was filmed..Must have been in the late 1980's

[thejordan01]

This is so awesome haha, "chubby little loser".

[Mattyuk1]

Bowie was good untill the 90's

[hippiemittens]

It would be amazing if he released this as a song :p

[crankthemid]

Bowie is a GOD

[dejahthoris]

@crankthemid ya think

[Jabberforce]

@crankthemid

watch the movie BUSTED and you will change your mind, i'm sure

[inmate59875]

@crankthemid That is the single most amazing man, ever.

[xentech]

@inmate59875 .. lol

[CF1975]

0:07-0:10:

Bowie: 'Little fat man...'

Andy: 'Little ???'

Andy's expression is priceless here.

[Duoed]

... Andy?

[CF1975]

Andy is the name of the character Ricky Gervais plays in Extras (the show where this scene comes from).

[Duoed]

Oh. Prolly something I should know.. I love Ricky Gervais but I've never seen The Office or Extras.. only podcasts and films.. and interviews..

[CF1975]

Probably you already dicovered that, but you can find a lot of clips of Ricky's live shows here on YT, as well as clips from The Office and Extras. I personally think Extras is funnier than The Office, but they are both excellent shows.

[folkgirrl]

funny, that Bowie is like his HERO! hahaha Ricky once wanted to be BOWIE.. hahaha cute

[amselschwarz]

how mortifying!

[F1dgets]

Every time I hear this song it's in my head for at least a week.

[wow413]

This song is better than most of stuff Bowie done since the seventies!

[Ladystarify]

Bowie has his face a bit swelled because he had a heart attack in 2004 and this was because of the medicines. But nowadays he is in shape again. i´ve seen a recent picture of him and looks fantastic and healthier.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

LOL!

[SirRunk]

That's the best Bowie song in about 25 years.

[437thx1138]

Hilarious writing executed with perfection. Bowie was great in this.

[Faronadriel]

Lol Ricky Gervais actually used to look A LOT like david bowie back when he had his pop band in the 80's

[thiagoroberti]

The other day I was watching an interview with Ricky and after a clip from "Seona Dancing", the presenter said "wooow... David Bowie totally nicked your stuff!" lol

[hampson2]

@thiagoroberti that was room 101 wasnt it?

[anawith85diamonds]

@Faronadriel i think he still looks like him!

[jarvizcocker]

@Faronadriel blind

he looked like a new romantic

that's all

[MadameMcintosh]

@Faronadriel Wow, he has changed soooo much.

[dljc1979]

@Faronadriel | he sung exactly like him too.. i'll bet gervais was in fucking heaven recording that scene.. i'll bet he wrote it just to have bowie sing and act for him..

[Lockhart2000]

@Faronadriel He didn't look like Bowie. All brit pop bands had that same look, including groups that came before Bowie. Bowie just happened to be the best of them.

[HaydnFitzsimons]

@Faronadriel Yeah and when Ricky was on Room 101. Paul Merton showed that Seona Dancing clip and said "Bowie's nicked your stuff" xD

[Scofopolis]

does anyone know the chord progression of this song?

[JanineRobin]

Ashley Jensen was brilliant as Maggie.

[SimulacronX]

Poor Ricky

[AssHat313]

Vivo el Gordo?

[bionicbigfoot]

Bowie's old and fat.

[liquidbook]

Gervais looks weird. I think it is the make-up.

[lifeafter79]

chubby-little loser...

[nochristophe]

How to desperately get more views on my vids.

Take a scene from Extras and call it Gervais Bowie...

[oli696969]

Bowie Gervais actually

[asilahvista]

Ricky has a better voice than Bowie, to be honest.

[picceelo13]

LOL

[mmschneider]

bowie looks a little bit chunky in that scene...

hypocrite warning!

[phxHLsuns]

i love how Bowie turns around and a piano is just right there x]

also "fatty? fatso? fatso, i like fatso. yea lets go with fatso." and "yes linda i like that"

and how evevyone knows the last line so well

[phxHLsuns]

i think if he done this to you, itd be hilarious!

but of course your not worth even a millisecond of his breath :D

and maybe you should get fucked sir!

maybe itll calm you down a bit!

[ledgerdeathshit]

In 2003 he outsold Coldplay and Robbie williams with Reality.

[Maliciuos]

Bowie takes time to mock some fatso. Or is he? He takes time to mock someone he finds worthy of mocking. Do some math.

[Charry92]

LOLOLOLOLOL!

[drnebuloso]

god I want that MP3 of that song

[siricus]

You know, toward the end of the scene it actually gets a bit sad.

[noonav]

the song is actually really good aside from the cruel (but funny!) lyrics

i love the guy with the cocktail harmonizing towards the end! lol

brilliant>>>

[plasmasnakeneo]

This is the reason you cant help but like Bowie, he is so endearing in a way that you feel as though you have been friends with him all your life. Moments like this are great to see that he doesn't take himself too seriously. Thanks for posting this.

[invader545]

Hahahaha

[dougrobinson2024]

oh my god thats FUNNY!!

[imemineph]

id love for bowie to write a song about me, even if he did call me, a little fat man with a pug nosed face.

[happyendy]

this is real diss..lol:)

[sherriffflood]

pug, pug. pug, pug.

[R3ap3R1981]

absolute genius.... song written by david/ricky/stephen.... the song is actually really sad...

[MissusFingerBottom]

lmao poor Andy.. Maggie wasn't helping at all..as usual.

[Mareth1]

XD That was sooo funny!!!! :)

[maidlenstars]

Is there no end to this man Bowies talents, Gervais is amazingly believable, they both carry it off perfectly, anyone still interested in the 'v.i.p' area...

[XxXMyTeenageLifeXxX]

aww ricky looks so cute wen he's sitting their helpless

[veenstra56]

Genius.

[Radli]

if you look up rickys old duo 'seona dancing' you can tell how much he idolized bowie

[WKaliber1]

Bowie is an asshole to Gervais!

[5wizz]

Its not a documentary

[WKaliber1]

your mom is dead

[johnkelly46]

Should be released as a single!!

[cornyack]

Bowie's funny at the start, the way he looks like he's empathising with Andy then just swings straight round to a piano and into song. Imagine that happened in real life.

[bombbasticluva]

It probably would... it's Bowie. Anything is possible.

[WKaliber1]

yeah but he's not an asshole

[lost0symphony]

hahaha! That would be the best ringtone ever!

[zachwireless]

IS THIS REAL POOR RICKY GERVIAS

[sauce111111]

but the twat would probably miss!

thank you linda i like that..

yea so di i it brilliant linda LOL!!

1:08

[AbsoluteShambles]

aww you hav to feel sorry for him at 2:12 he looks devastated lol

[mawhinney2]

Is Ricky a fan of David's.!

[markafc83]

Given that the vocal style Gervais used in his 80s band "Seona Dancing" is a blatant ape of Bowie's, it's probably fair to assume that the answer is yes.
