Extras - Halle Berry & The Plasma TV

[jomatejko]

0:56 that smile hahaha,

best show ever produced

[MINDxWORM]

There's no way Steve would pay £3500 on a TV. He wouldn't even spend £350 on a TV.

[jonnyabbotti]

The truth is Steve's TV WAS too big for him LOL

[Lucyeleanor97]

"knockety knock knock..helloooo!" *andy sighs* LOL

[NoTrueFace1]

@IThinkMyNamesTooLong

true.

[sweetholyjesus1]

rickydiculous



[ChristopherDone]

Haha, the TV screen thing was actually real. They had this conversation on XFM radio. I've listened to it a few times, comedy gold. XD

[robrockslikesocks]

"It is too big I dunno what I was thinking"

[MrFan32]

holy shit i forgot how brilliant this show was

you compare ppl in america watching 2.5men and how i met your mother, and in Uk they are watching ricky gervais and top gear, damn america is one dumbass country

[OfficerJohnMcLane]

Nooooo! The American version cut out the best bit about David Dickinson's tan blinding him or something like that

!

[AndysEdits]

this actually happend to smerch in real life... write about what you know!

[seamusohanluain]

Awwh I may as well do it in here then!

[fritjofnilssonpirat]

I love that Steves character bought a too big TV, just like he did in real life. He told about it in the xfm-shows.

[TheConciseStatement]

A bit annoying that any references they don't get have to be replaced with ones they do get. It's not often you see American programmes going out of their way to redo their local references for everyone else. Can't they just get over it and move onto another joke like everyone else?

[teebssd]

the amount of material ricky gervais gets from real life is fantastic! on an old podcast or xfm steven merchant bought a massive tv and ricky took the piss out of him then. and wanking over a novelty pen was on xfm as well

[Mankind081]

DVDs would look shite on a 52" plasma.

[TheConciseStatement]

@Mankind081

Depends how good the upscaling is.

[mementolee77]

L'agente che qualunque artista vorrebbe avere

[hadabenz]

PAUSE at 1:43, and you will see why SMERCH is the God of Eyes. HAHAHAHA.

[Souza98]

This is comedy gold. I love the look at 1:03 "I'm talking to the stupidest man the in the fucking world..."

[calderownz]

Halle Berry, Billie Piper.. Honestly, does it really fucking matter?

The show is hilarious. To worry about little differences is pretty damn stupid.

[bigballer215]

The Billie Piper scene worked better. Great show nonetheless.

[ghostwhiskey]

smerch steals the show,him n maggie really shouldve ended up together,theyre both retards

[AlexCartlidge]

i hate it how they have to cater to american audiences. theyve missed out the david dickenson bit as well. thats just stupid. if they dont get the joke, then tough shit. theres shit loada names dropped in programes like family that we as english audiences dont get but we dont care coz we know it was made for an USA audience.

[JanineRobin]

@AlexCartlidge That's a good point you know. Why do we cater especially for American audiences, I bet they don't cut stuff out for Australian audiences. 

[NoTrueFace1]

@JanineRobin it's all about the money. If you have money people will kiss your ass, even if you don't want them to. Australia does not spend nearly as much on entertainment as the U.S.

[gravitysparks]

yeah they changed the name to halle berry for americans.

[CopyriteInfringement]

wasnt there some shit about david dickenson too, that theyve changed

[JHace666]

Thats weird on my DVD its Billie Piper instead of Halle Berry

[jonnyhoath2]

i think its that, Americans dont know Billie Piper so they changed it to Halle Berry for them.

[ghostwhiskey]

@jonnyhoath2 really?bille piper sounds funnier im american i know who she is

[soulmman]

Changed for american audiences :)

[LAVATORR]

I don't care if Merchant was joking, I've had that same fucking problem with my TV

[TrentYamasaka]

@LAVATORR He's not joking, he actually talks about this on XFM, which is where the David Dickinson tan joke came from

[nobrakesukspeedway]

knockety knock knock..hallooooo

[englishjames007]

I love that cow.....she's gorgeous

[Thwaitez]

it is to big

[MattickShock]

Stephen Merchant needs his own show, he is to funny. His voice was made for comedy.

[Kangarieux]

He looks like a wallace & gromit char. like he's claymation.

[dashofchutmeg]

@MattickShock He does a lead voice in Portal 2.

[flagga]

"What was your favourite bit?"

"Ummm..."

"You didn't watch it did you?"

"It's not my cup of tea"

Haha

[JanineRobin]

Steve is absolutely brilliant at delivering comedy lines

[johnyrobz1989]

lmfao

[edpalmersuisse]

will he still get paid even if his performance is crap? they said yes!

[blueangely2k2001]

i would rather smash it up than give it to you for 1500 quid !!!!!!! LOL

[PARADISEofficial]

HAHAHHAAA i love this

[eminemfansite]

Hilarious.

[preacherthirteen]

Stephen rules!

[mrlittle77]

Confused me as well till I read the comments. Great scene.

[BenjaminBattington]

Halle Berry?! It's Billie Piper in the original version. I assume this is the American one.

Halle Berry actually sounds more like Harry Potter though.

[F1dgets]

Yes but the other scene is funnier.

[ilovewombles]

this is one of my favourite merchant scenes, he's the star of this show i dont give a fuck

[capaldicorporations]

fucking NOOOOOOBBBB

[Clembo]

twat

[cyberlama]

Didn't Steve actually do this in real life? (Buy a ridiculous tv)  I think I remember hearing that on a podcast

[ianw22]

almost verbatim actually, yeah

[bennyg44]

yeah they did this on xfm. i dont care if they recycle it cos its fecking brilliant!

[cyberlama]

I didn't mean to sound as though i was criticising them for recycling ;p Just checkin i'd heard it before.

[lukeshanebaker]

He definitely did! Bought a huge TV for his tiny flat. "I'll have to get friendly with the neighbours."

[magdluke]

Yeah I think I heard them talking about this on the XFM radio show.

[marinejackson]

it doesnt say that on the dvd version. it says "3 days with Billie Piper". this must be an American version

[citybythesea]

yes, it is the US version.

[bennyg44]

i was so damned confused there!

[michaelthonger]

he also talks about david dickinson's tan taking his eyes out in the uk one

[6oodfella]

@marinejackson No David Dickinson gag either :(

[eminemfansite]

Fucking hilarious.
