  • I think Gervais is just being extremely generous about the american Office, because he's just a nice guy like that. He can't really think it's that great lol. The american version is mediocre at best. Some of the best american comedies imo are shows like Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Curb your enthusiasm, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia.

  • Gervais still using the "David Brent smirk at the camera" throughout the interview. Love it!

  • never thought i'd hear the office described as a meat sandwich

  • Fuckin interviewer's a stiff lamo

  • interviewer- classic american prick

  • Jesus this interviewer is a tool, glad Ricky forgot where he was for a moment and looked at his watch.

  • 'Rag on this guy from MelBERNE' Gervais can't handle it & neither can I!

  • wonder why his face was so red

  • @YOUPUBEISGAY He is the most genious man of UK and the world... The only one who may be near him is Eddie Murphy.

  • @AlexBredel what about peter kay or frankie boyle?

  • I didn't want this interview to ever end

  • the interviewer is a massive cock

  • >I recommend laying in bed on vacation in Budapest, after the wildest night ever. Knowing its gonna be wild tonight aswell, but right now, drinking some cold beers, looking at Ricky stuff on your laptop. #rightnow

  • @TSJEKKIA

    Lucky dog.

  • I love Gervais.

  • I despise the Office, Ricky is right.

  • 22 poor blokes got pulled up on their grammar.

  • "and they handed over the Marks" xD

    Epic interview ! You're the best Ricky !

  • On top of all the other coolness, he says "my girlfriend" about the woman he's been with for a quarter of a century, instead of the nauseating and ubiquitous "partner."

  • 22 cast members from the american office watched this.

  • @natterthehatter ... ricky writes for the american office.

  • I love Ricky^^, he always made me laugh !

  • interviewer

  • Tom Hale has 22 YouTube accounts...

  • @sbagga95 how do you know

  • The interviewer is such a smug ass faggot.

  • who is the interviewer? 

  • He smiles, I laugh.

    He laughs, I crack up.

  • when i said better i meant your not being the civil one by accepting to their beliefs

  • Stop calling eachother these disgusting names. Your human not piles of dirt so start treating yourselves and eachother like one.

    And for who? Gervais?

  • moodini99 and MrPonko,

    Please, theres no need or use for calling eachother these horrible names through the internet. People are different and some people might have disturbing beliefs be it pro abortion anti semitism or whatnot but your not being the better person by calling them things like 'worthless cunt' and 'you're sub human a fucking embarrassment' .

  • I love sarcasm and Gervais with his English accent is awesome! Hope he starts another show soon. Extras was great and I understand his point about not producing too long....

  • Haha! 22 Deutschen gefällt dieses Video nicht! ^^

  • ....

  • Wow! His laugh is priceless!"

  • "I'm walking down the street thinking 'Yeah! Oh yeah!'"

  • Interviewer's a fag.

  • @sinomino So what?

    I simply stated that he's a fag.

  • @performancepoo whatever.

  • @performancepoo totally agree. Leave the jokes to the comedian for fucks sake.

  • @performancepoo it's a joke man

  • Who's the interviewer? I really like him!

  • interviewer is great.

  • when ricky says someone looks like something ridiculous.. like bingo from banana splits... he's usually right...

  • my question is :is logic god?

  • why he slagging britain off? he doesent know what america is like because he dident grow up there

  • hes just a nice dude. he's down to earth n hilarious.

  • I love him so much!

  • His laugh is amazing...

  • @jmyz1991 He does have a laugh that never fails to get me smiling ^_~

  • This interviewer sucks

  • He seems really cool in this interview. But he always fucking makes an effort for American interviewers.

  • I'm watching as Ricky's fingers travel from his ear, to is mouth, to his eye, to his cheek, to his mouth, to his eye...etc etc ...

  • I just looked up Bingo from the Banana Splits. Garry Shandling really does have the same teeth.

  • Holy shit, 70%, more than I thought, must feel kinda sucky for Carell to go to work and get less than Ricky who's doing nothing at that moment ^^. Not that I've given it much thought but does he really deserve 70%? Feels extremely much, thought it would be something like 5 or 10%.

  • @zalmanusa I think he was joking......

  • @mightyseagull No he wasn't, this quote is from an interview: "I get paid every time any episode of any version is played anywhere in the world", which he should be, but I just didn't think it would be as much as 70% hehe.

  • @zalmanusa You're an idiot.

  • fearless! he can get laughs, tears, he is fantastic

  • Very down to earth. Ricky is the man.

  • I love the english version of 'the Office' with a passion. I saw 1 episode of the american version and decided never to watch it again. Instead I watched the english version at least 4 more times.

  • There's hardly a better sound than Ricky's laughter!

  • @anetchi WOW you must be the biggest backside licker EVER of that lowlife Z-lister Gervais, or near enough.

    Do you fantasise about your dickhead loser nobody failing comedian hero rubbing his bare feet in your face too? Do you have dreams of rubbing your face in his dirty stinking backside?

    You are beyond help, friend. Hang yourself now!

  • 70% REALLY?! oh wait, JUST until he dies. phew.

  • I actually do think of him as beautiful and I wouldn't if he looked like Brad Pitt!

  • The trolls are well fed on this thread

  • Love the accent

  • Dreadful questions

  • He's a little bit jealous

  • Gervais is a dickhead nad a moron. He has few good jokes, most of his real material is being mean and vicious to innocent people. Saynig things for shock value, and making the audience laugh by just throwing empty insults at people.

    This cunt is a gaylord, his "humour" is no funnier than David Letterman.

  • Dude, you're religious. You are stupid enough to believe in God; of course you don't understand Gervais' comedy!

  • @moodini99 Wow was this comeback supposed to be funny or interesting? Looks like what I said below about the nobody loser Gervais also applies to his lowlife backside lickers/toe suckers club.

    You complete and utter donkeys ball bag.

  • Neither. It was meant to be offensive, you pathetic, deluded freak. You're a disgrace to humanity. Go and speak to your God, Pixies, Leprechauns or whatever mythical being, you brain-dead fantasist!

  • @moodini99 Wow, are your comments for real? Or are you just doing an impression of the unfunniest, lowest, biggest loser retard ever?!

    Who wrote these comments for you, your 9 year old niece? Or are you trying to make a tool out of yourself?

    By the way your AWFUL SHAMEFULLY EMBARRASING HILARIOUS raps are as abysmal and gay as your bum chum Gervais' jokes.

  • You believe in God, you crass, brainless chav. You are in no position to deride anyone.

    You're a worthless cunt. How dare you disgrace my country with you homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-abortion bullshit, you piece of shit. You are a vile excuse for a human being. You don't even deserve to call yourself human; you're sub-human, a fucking embarrassment.

    You were born five hundred years too late, you arrogant cretin. Your archaic bigotry and medieval beliefs have no place in this day and age!

  • @moodini99 Wow your 7 year old niece must have a lot of time on her hands, writing all these comments to me. I guess she wrote your hilariously bad "raps" too?

  • Comment removed

  • What an awkward way to sit for an interview

  • the first 3 seasons of the german office are pretty good... and btw, i think ricky is hilarious.. and i also can laugh at a joke about my country :)

    germans do have humor :P

  • What happened from 1:50 to 1:53? Is it me, or does Ricky look a little pissed?

  • PS: The Brits weren't too bad at taking what wasn't theirs either, were they? Oh, I forgot, that was all outside of the civilised world ... and hence doesn't matter.

  • German Office was pretty bad. Still, it was an extremely racist remark made by the interviewer, and defended as the truth. Couldn't believe my ears!I In any case it's neither here nor there to make comments on German humour without knowing the language. . Since I do, I shall not condescend to defending German humour. Come to think of it, the interviewer himself was utterly humourless ... and sanctimonious beyond belief!

  • Comment removed

  • @isg1997 Apparently you don't understand the meaning of the word racist. German is a nationality not a race.

  • @groundzer077 I suppose you do? There is a difference between race and racist .... do pick up a basic reader in cultural studies, as I did all those years before I got my PhD in the subject. I stand by my comments ont eh interviewer.

  • @isg1997 What do you mean exactly when you say that there is a difference between race and racist? "Racist" is the belief that a certain race is inherently less superior or capable. Isn't the categorization of 'race' generally determined by phenotypic differences? Facial structure, hair, skin color etc.? When you lump cultural differences in there, the classifications seem capricious and subjective. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but since you say you have a PhD, maybe you could explain.

  • @groundzer077 Racist means you think race makes any difference to your humanity. The most racist are usually the most religious. No country on earth that condones slavery does not subscribe wholeheartedly to Islam. 800 years ago the Christians were probably a whole lot worse.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm german. All i have to say is that Rickys comment was actually less insulting, if insulting at all. The Interviewer should really watch his mouth when it comes to political correctness in comedy. Rule is: Make any racist joke you can think of, as long as its funny. He clearly violated it.

  • 70 of Steve's earnings?! Ricky is a rich man.

  • It is correct to say who would fire whom.

    Who refers to the subject of the sentence and whom refers to the object of the sentence. Who and who is incorrect for the grammar police :-)

  • I might be wrong, but I think "who" was correct. Actually, I'm pretty confident that "whom" isn't right

  • @ImJimbob23 nvm, I was thinking of the first "who"

  • rrriiiiiiight.

  • fucking boring, neither funny nor witty

  • thumbs up if the only thing you could was following his right hand fingers wandering around his face, espacially in the beginning when he picks his ear all the time - Ricky, thats just disgusting!

  • Haha, at 0:15 when the interviewer says, "Here are the questions," Ricky thought he said, "Hear the questions."

    "...Well, I will hear them, yeah. Go on."

  • I hate it when the interviewer is a snivelling little tosser that means i cant concentrate and just watch how uncomfortable the useless questions are.next time do a stephen hawkings on that interviewers voice so it wont anoy me ...as much

  • I ahte it when the interviewer is a snivelling little tosser that means i cant concentrate and just watch how uncomfortable the useless questions are.next time do a stephen hawkings on that interviewers voice so it wont anoy me ...as much

  • David Brent et al are the best. Are you havin' a laugh?

  • David Brent et al are the best.

  • hahahhahahhahahahahahhahaha I'm having the laugh of my life!

  • Ricky Gervais, what's the hardest thing about being the SEXIEST man on earth, alive?

  • "not like the Germans to take something that isn't theirs..."

    xD

  • @01000001011100100111 sais a Brit ;-)

  • Good on Ricky for saying Carrell is a good bloke. hahah

  • 9:26 I love Ricky's laugh!

  • Pfft, you can pull people up on their grammar but you can't even make sure you spell the name of an international city correctly? CAPE TOWN, honestly. Love Ricky though, hilarious! :)

  • He's weirdly similar to a British podcaster called Turpster. Google him

  • old shiny face gervais ! love him!

  • You think readers of TIME could have offered up some better questions.

  • the interviewer said 'here are the questions' and Ricky thought he said 'hear the questions'...I think.

  • What a laugh

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe I haven't seen enough of his stuff to judge. The guy's funny, but he's not 'godly' like so many people describe him.

  • @Illumirage He may not be a god. But hes way more talented than anyone else. Just watch The Office and Extras.

  • @ProjectLonely

    I'll try to if I get some free time. 

  • 0:26  wha..who..ha..HUAHAHAHAHAHA

  • "Times" up

  • Ricky is one funny and talented guy.I first saw him in the movie "Ghost Town",been hooked on his humor ever since.

  • What people need to understand is: British comedy shows usually only do 2 seasons and then maybe a few specials. This is because British people are smart enough to know when their show has jumped the shark and they don't want to risk that.

  • @Jammed9000

    Bit of a generalisation there! Most British comedies do more than 2 seasons from my experience. Peep Show is onto about 6 now!

  • @GodTheHypothesis

    I mean the more traditional stuff like Faulty Towers or Extras.

  • @Jammed9000 Hmm..red dwarf, only fools and horses..the inbetweeners...Dr Who...all more than 2 seasons. I could go on...

  • @moonwitch1981

    Check out Ricky when he was your age. He had a band "Seona Dancing" you can find it here!

    I lived in NYC for many years and was once introduced to Brad Pitt. I was standing in front of him thinking: What do people see in him??? He's boring!

  • RG is too nice, and I think id lying about Steve Carell. The US 'Office" is embarressing it's so bad.

  • @studmuffin.Well you have reinforced what ricky just said.that everyone doesnt like him and the minority finds what he does funny so your comment is moot.i am a massive fan and some of the material he does is sometimes rubbish but some is gold.he is not a gag man soem of it is very subtle.

  • lesgal

  • his laugh annoys me and he is not that funny

  • @studmuffin234able lets see you on tv.

  • @studmuffin234able

    He is easily the funniest man alive today.

  • Pretty good interviewer

  • Any time RG has an interview with any sort of american media, he loves to put down england but when he's in england he's saying he loves england. Make your mind up.

  • @purplenurps I don't think he's insulting England at all. He's talking about differences between the two. My ex is from Scotland and his family has little interest in " Success". Great, warm people, with other great attributes.

  • @jmrleroy England is full of losers, he has said that before

  • @jmrleroy thats not insulting is it

  • Personally i dont think Carrell is anything near as funny as Gervais

  • @marinejackson i think they are both very funny in their own way and i think he might be a little more clever and comedic but in all fairness they are both pretty funny

  • RICKY I THINK YOU LOOK FINE THE WAY YOU ARE!

  • Comment removed

  • @gaozhi2007 : Gervais made the Office. You are america of course you go for Carell.

  • @MrAtheist1984

    Has nothing to do with me being American. Actually, I love British comedys and have been watching them since I was in elementary. I just don't think Gervais is that funny. He's actually pretty obnoxious in my opinion. But to each his own. I encourage you to send your hate mail to the address listed above.

  • @gaozhi2007:hate mail?

  • Comment removed

  • i like the interviewer and i love the way ricky isnt one of those comedians that thinks hes the only one thats allowed to be funny. he always laughs loads when other people say something funny. granted his laugh is usually funnier than what the person said, but he cant help that!

    the interviewer is on a level, hes just having a laugh. if he was being all stiff and responding seriously to what ricky was saying then people would complain about that too! theres just no pleasing some people......

  • @ILLER121 what's that old saying? ...you can please em all so please some....now that I think about that....that's the most completely retarded advice ever...

  • @ILLER121 good point. hahaha Ricky's laugh makes me laugh harder than most jokes ahhaa

  • 4:50 more like, its not like the british to take somthing that isnt theirs. Knock Knock, the empire.

  • something tells me that interviewer has confidence issues he's very arrogant

  • Half of what makes Ricky Gervais so funny to me is his laugh. He's able to make even the most mundane comment seem hilarious because his laugh and playful mannerisms are so infectious.

  • Ricky really is the funniest man alive

  • @Kimcee4younme You've spelt Karl Pilkington wrong!

  • @Kimcee4younme huh??? Karl Pilkington??? Even Gervais would admit that!!!

  • hate for the interviewer? hes trying to adapt his personality because hes interviewing gervais, the guys not a dick he wants to be funny..the poor bloke.

  • the interviewer sounds like he's 20 years old
