  • I love how they yell insults at us near the end XD

  • All those insults and yelling at the end there really helped my conclude my wank.

  • LEGENDS!!!

    

  • i was wanking

  • i hated the office

  • Very Derek and Clive. :)

  • I didn't laugh once, neither of them are funny in any way, shape or form.

  • @Waller1449 Don't watch it then, if you don't like them what was you expecting? Fucking hell...

  • @TomK2k9 you have to watch something before you know if you like it. fucking hell

  • @Waller1449 Because there taking the piss out of people like YOU

  • He's resting on his laurels, I don't like what he does, he's resting on his laurels :(.

  • Why videogames are still considered inferior to other types of works?

    Being able to develop such a bright and colorful character out from a BALL should really say a lot about Merchant's talent.

    Also it is thanks to Portal 2 that Merchant went from being well known in UK and USA to being popular worldwide.

  • @Aechis Right, because the dozens of countries where their podcasts were listened to and their shows were broadcast are just two: UK and USA.

  • @Aechis I completely agree. I think there will come a day when video games are included in award shows. We just have to wait until all our fossilized, conservative elders die off. Then maybe we can move forward and stop treating anything innovative with such disdain.  Do you people know how much work and effort goes into making those games? Clearly not, because if you did you'd give a little more respect to Merchant's role in Portal 2. Role over, have a stroke, and die, you old cunts.

  • @tak3808 What about the Bafta's and the VGA's the biggest video game award ceremonies in the UK and US. I dont really see why people still think people think that video games are inferior still when the Baftas have a video game award ceremony aswell as the TV ceremony and Film ceremony. Also why are you saying it like video games should be included in award ceremonies for films or the award ceremonies for TV?

  • @llpalm08 You can't possibly be THAT naive.

  • @Aechis he didn't develop it you silly boy. portal 2 creators created it you retard. steve just read the stuff he was told to read.

  • Sorry what is it your doing ?

  • BLOODY HELL RICKY! HOWD YOU KNOW I WAS WANKING TO THIS?! DAMN YOU

  • A Brazilian fan here!

    I loved Extras! I haven't seen The Office though. A friend of mine who bought the DVDs is going to lend them for me.

    Is RG going to be on the Golden Globe again?

  • @RecifeEdu yup, 15 Jan!

  • How does he always know I'm wanking

  • I find it baffling that some people only know Stephen from Portal 2 (even though he WAS brilliant in that), but on the bright side he's got a bunch of new fans that he didn't before. I'll be happy for anything that gives him more exposure, he's freaking great.

  • It may just be me cos I've seen this clip a bunch of times now but I reckon if Gervais and Merchant had to use 1 piece of content to show what they're all about it's be this video. Long live the pair of them*

    *and Karl.

  • I don't like what Ricky is doing.. His resting lorals. Lolll

  • That's the guy from the Barclay's ads

  • Comment removed

  • Ricky was so funny in this, he dominates Merchant.

  • he's resting on his lorals!

  • "no thats a good one, thats a north american one. give em the comedy award, now thats for people who don't win fuckin' american awards. Put that right in the Bin! piece of plastic bollocks."

    HA! remember when he won it in bed with george michael

  • "You watching this on Youtube?"

    O.O

  • Steve Merchant is my favorite comedian

  • HEs resting on his laurels, i dont like it when i rests on his laurels.

  • stephen merchant is so underated!! he's amazing!!

  • Dammit, they caught me wankin' off!

  • I sometimes wish Gervais fans knew just how indebted he, and perhaps most decent comedy of recent years, to Derek & Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's foul-mouthed alter-egos). This video is pretty much a Derek & Clive cover version. And a really good one at that.

  • WELL THATS ME TURNED ON

  • i dont like what he does hes resting on his lorels

  • hahah amazing

  • What do you mean a cameo? He was the Star of that video game....

  • 3:21

    Stephen Merchant's face.. XD

  • FUCKING HILARIOUS.

  • Comment removed

  • I find it funny that Steve Merchant is much taller than Gervais.

  • You....FUCKING.......CUNTS!!!!­!!!!

  • I lose it at, "piece of plastic bullocks".

    

  • hahahahahahahaha

  • rICKY YOU NEED TO GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION CHANGED MY LOVE lol

  • That put me RIGHT OFF my wank

  • An award for wanking? I'd deserve a Victoria Cross for all my service in the field of porn.

  • Thumbs up if you had tears in your eyes by the end

  • hes resting on his laurels

  • It's really sad that Steve Merchant wrote, directed and acted in the two greatest comedy series of the 2000s, is a star of the world's most popular podcast and has almost single-handedly changed the face of modern comedy, as well as doing years of dedicated radio work and is currently touring with a fantastic standup show, and the thing most people here know him for is a silly cameo in a videogame which is known for its incredibly irritating fanbase.

  • @videogamenostalgia Thing is mate, most people with a brain are aware of his work. I wouldn't beat yourself up about the 14 year olds who aren't.

  • @videogamenostalgia Hey now, it's perfectly fine to like videogames.

  • @videogamenostalgia I agree with you partially but I found Stephen through Portal 2 and I then found all of his other stuff as a result. So I think the game cameo opens up Stephen's "stuff" for lack of a better term, to a wider audience. Portal doesn't have an "incredibly irritating fanbase," You want that head over to MW2...

  • Comment removed

  • @videogamenostalgia I admit the continuous quoting can get irritating, but quote one funny line in MW2. And I play MW2 sometimes or at least I used to, that doesn't mean I have to like the fan base. I'm not hating MW2 it was a good game I'm just saying it has a more irritating fan base than Portal.... that's all.

  • @videogamenostalgia "videogamenostalgia" how ironic :/

  • @videogamenostalgia On the flipside though, I (as well as many others, I'm sure) probably wouldn't have heard of Stephen Merchant for a very long time, if ever, if it wasn't for his bit in Portal 2. There's no such thing as bad publicity. Same thing goes for the music of Jonathan Coulton who is absolutely brilliant, I love all his stuff now. The situation creates an overlap of fanbases and opens a gateway for people to be introduced to all kinds of new things. Win fuckin' win. Shut the fuck up.

  • @mackeymkay The whole 'there's no such thing as bad publicity' angle is incredibly childish, and if you were familiar with Ricky & Steve's work, you'd know that that phrase sums up everything they hate about the entertainment industry.

  • @videogamenostalgia Look, if Steve didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have. You know what I meant, so don't be a prick about it, alright? Fact is, it only did him good. Whether you like the fanbase of Portal or not is a completely different matter altogether. But please save the ad hominem attacks for someone else, Mr. videogamenostalgia calling me childish. Very few sayings are absolute, so you can always nitpick. More people know Steve's comedy thanks to the game - it's nothing to whine about.

  • @videogamenostalgia It wasn't a cameo he played the Big Bad.Also, all fanbases are irritating.

  • @videogamenostalgia I have now idea what video game...who cares abut it.

  • @videogamenostalgia Couldn't agree more.

  • @videogamenostalgia Who cares

  • @videogamenostalgia cameo? CAMEO? CAMEO?!?!?!

  • @videogamenostalgia Isn't it terrible that his fanbase is growing, he's getting more work and that people like him. I can be a hipster too y'know: I liked him before others did.

  • @Thisismytrollingface Not a hipster attitude at all. The guy was hardly obscure before he was in that game, and I honestly think its great that more people know him now. The question here is that why are people so ignorant of Extras and the Office; two of the greatest sitcoms than the 2000s, and they require something as broad and cartoonish as his part in Portal 2 to get to know what people should already be aware of. Why is he known as 'Wheatley' and not 'Steve Merchant'?

  • @videogamenostalgia I'm so cross that people like him too.

  • @videogamenostalgia Why the fuck are you using the exact same comment on different videos featuring Merchant. Piss off you cunt.

  • @videogamenostalgia Oh gawd your useless. Stephen (not Steven, Stephen, if your such a fan you should know his name) is known for this because voice acting is a hard job, he got top voice actor in games of the year, in one of the most critically acclaimed and groundbreaking game series in the world and you have go as his protectorate to prove an overshadowed point. He even wants to work with Valve again in this "silly" cameo.

    Case closed. Sit down.

  • @urpaderpa most critically acclaimed and groundbreaking game series in the world what game is that then because its not portal

  • @marc3w One of the most? Yes. THE most? Debatable. Amazing? Absolutely.

  • @urpaderpa the only good games out now is gta and battlefield anything else is only playable

  • @marc3w Rofl. Troll.

  • @urpaderpa whats a troll

  • @videogamenostalgia I agree but the last bit is a bit harsh, Steve put a lot of work into recording for that game and was pleased that people enjoyed it.

  • @videogamenostalgia

    It wasn't exactly a cameo... The whole game only has 4 voices, and his is probably the largest part of it, seeing as his character is the one who essentially drives the entire story forward. Also, it's one of the few instances where he's not being interrupted by Ricky or overshadowed (not literally, of course) by Karl.

  • @videogamenostalgia thats only due to the average american audience being simple minded pieces of shit

  • @videogamenostalgia ...never heard from steve merchant except for portal 2 ._.

  • @videogamenostalgia a, what videogame are you talking about? i seriously had no ideea he has been in a game

  • @videogamenostalgia Did you really just call Portal 2 a silly video game? And Wheatley a Cameo role? Well, I cannot agree with you at all. But, Portal Fanboy-ism aside, Portal 2 benefited him by introducing him to a Worldwide Audience. Isn't that what most Comedians want?

  • @bharatnair15 I have nothing against Portal 2, nor the concept of more people recognising him. I just don't think it's worth introducing him to a whole new audience if all they're going to do is spam and utterly ruin the comments sections of videos he's in with 'Wheatley Wheatley Wheatley Spaaaace herp derp', killing a joke that wasn't even that funny in the first place. Whilst a great game, Portal 2 is nothing compared to his contributions to The Office, the podcast and Extras.

  • @videogamenostalgia i guess it isn't sad because I have never even heard of his silly cameo in a video game. I just think he's hilaious.

  • @videogamenostalgia That's because most Americans have never heard of him outside of his role in Portal 2. You have to understand that most British actors and comedians are completely unknown to the American public. Even Ricky Gervais wasn't known to many people there until very recently. Yes, he's been in numerous other works which probably dwarf Portal 2 in comparison, but most people DON'T know him from anything else. It isn't their fault. Also, to be fair Wheatley wasn't a "cameo".

  • lmfaoo

  • @TheEdgehead31 I knew you were joking. It was funny and very dry, it would have been great if Steve Merchant said those exact words completely straight-faced at the end of the video. I wasn't directing it at you, I was really just venting my frustration at that journalist

  • Comment removed

  • wheatleeyy! :D

  • @345267348 to be fair it was a good game...

  • 57 PEOPLE ARE RESTING ON THIER LAURELS!!

  • Wow..ummm... that got out of hand pretty quickly O_o

  • Hahahaha...sod off.

  • YOU FUCKING CUNT! ... we love you

  • Fed up of everyone making Portal references. He's clearly better known for the Barclays adverts. Jesus.

  • @JoniPrykeTV Your statement is a contridiction...if he is "clearly better known" for Barclays adverts then everyone wouldnt be making Portal references. You people who are fans of his should just be happy this game is giving him a little more publicity .

  • What is "resting on my laurels"? I'm from Ohio and have never heard about "Laurels"

  • @20Estevenson It means sitting on your arse doing nothing...

  • @20Estevenson It's when you ride on ur previously successful shit, so even tho the office n exrtras are done with he'll keep talking abt em

  • @20Estevenson It's when you ride on ur previously successful shit, so even tho the office n exrtras are done with he'll keep talking abt em

  • easily the funniest thing on the.......internet...

  • What the name of new the programme they've got on at the end of they year??

  • @ISavageBadgerI life's too short if you mean the one with warwick davies :)

  • @Midnightfur Yes, thanks a lot :)

  • @ISavageBadgerI "Life's too short" starring Warrick Davis.

  • Merchant was indeed famous prior to Portal 2. However, he did such a picture-perfect job voicing Wheatley that I think many of the relevant comments are justified.

  • HE LOVES US REALLY ! !

    Brilliant stuff !

  • i'll have a bafta for wanking

  • LOOOOLZ :D

  • can't wait for Life's Too Short

  • I can't take so much laughter...

  • I've only got 6 BAFTAS for wanking :(

  • WHEATLEY WHEATLEY WHEATLEY !!!!

  • Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais make me happy to be alive :D

  • "are you wanking? right now are you wanking?"

    damnit how did they know

  • Is Steve English or Irish?

  • @DiscoABunny He is English. He is from Bristol I think.

  • @taniahurley Reading

  • @filiboy10 thanks . i did not know. but he is english . i got that bit right. lol.

  • @DiscoABunny Idiot.

  • @DiscoABunny

    He Engish

  • Edgy satire 101

  • I love how Stephen actually put the award in the bin.

  • Merchant is like an evil devil/conscience sitting on Richy's shoulder here, haha.

  • Why is it so funny when a Briton curses like a sailor?

    Cunt? Tits?

    Hilarious!

  • 3:31 - Steve should of chipped in - "But I`m still looking for work.." Gervais left it wide open for him and he corpsed.. Still, looking forward to his Standup in September (Merchants).

  • So they watched it oooh well done, so they watched it? Wheatley you can be so cruel.

  • 1: What crazy foriegn language are they speaking

    2: What the hell are bullocks and should I be eating them

  • @beatlesman369 bullocks is beef. You're supposed to be eating bollocks ;)

  • @beatlesman369 English... and bollocks are the things dangling between ur legs.

  • i had my hand on my balls......i regret nothing

  • BEST COMEDY EVER

  • Yeah I'm wanking.

  • To everyone making portal references Stephen Merchant was well known and successful before it stop calling him wheatley.

  • @danielmcilree wheaaaathley!!!!

  • @danielmcilree Oh, don't be so egoistic:)

    He's cool anyway, and now THANKS to Portal even more and more people became interested in him and his work even outside of Portal. He's totally cool, this man

  • @danielmcilree u mad?

  • @danielmcilree

    I am sorry, but well known does not equal bombastic famous. Where is your problem with him being famous for his act as a cool, round character (pun not intendet)?

  • @Nafysatnaf I don't have a problem with him being known for portal it's when people only seem to know him for it I get concerned that he's not being fully credited for his writing accomplishments.

  • @danielmcilree It's probably just because a lot of non-british people were only really introduced to him as Wheatley. I know I was. And what's wrong with that? He did an absolutely brilliant job as that character, why shouldn't he be recognized for it?

  • @danielmcilree I agree entirely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw all you guys calling him wheatley, he has feelings!!

  • IT'S THE OGGMONSTER!

  • The C word? Really? Really? .....

  • The best part is when ricky sais "cunt" the first time and steve moves his head slightly to the side like a confused dog HAHAHAHA
