Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant at comedy awards

[ianwilson2007]

'He's not even in the fucking country' this is how awards shows should be. Everyone taking the piss out of each other, not like the serious US ones.

[genralporsjon]

Mechant. Why you call sad.

[KittiMitties]

I love that they played Tea for the Tillerman while he walked up<3

[gablison]

0:13... face of a goddess right there!

[anurag5858]

I was thinking the same thing before Stephen said it.. WHY THE HELL did Ricky get to speak before Stephen??!! Love their comedy by the way :)

[Mayna00]

Question: Why are Mitchell and Webb nominated TOGETHER? Isn't that a bit weird =/

Ricky and Smerch weren't.

[00coppelia00]

I'm spanish so i'm not familiar with some of the faces. Who's the guy introducing the award?

[Randomidus]

@00coppelia00 Jonathan Ross. He's a British talk show host.

[Awkwardgesundheit]

@00coppelia00 Jonathan Ross..whee you asked 6 months ago; you probably know by now.

[JodLM90]

"Even when he's not in the fucking country..." Hahahaha! I love the way he says that with the little head bop haha

[AshleyTL]

@tascott59 Shut Up YOU.. Why You Watching This If Your Being Like That?!

[Soloxable]

there's a college called Stephen Merchant?

[KenzieKaddl]

aaaawww he looks so humble and shy xD go for you Mr. Merchant!

[TheEthug]

i love steve, such a funny fucker!

[duelpad88]

Forever Wheatley.

[Dabs84]

It's the mammal that's got ... sort of ... the pointiest eyes. Eyes that pop of their head ...

... Steve.

[arpakyna]

With a face like Stephen Merchant's, how could you not be in comedy?

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

@arpakyna Karl Pilkington? Is that you?

[1foottall]

poor merchant. he deserved his own moment.

[MsAngie1945]

Has he done anything apart from Gervais? I hope he does. Not to break up the duo, but it'd be a nice change to see. Ricky and Karl both have done 'solo' projects, why not Merchant? :)

[cowleyWWFC]

@MsAngie1945 he's doing his own stand up show! got tickets for it at wolverhampton in november, looking forward to it :D

[MrsGreenDay123]

Ha Brilliant!!!

Is it me or does Steven Merchant look pretty HOT here ?

<3

[gyped]

thunder stealing, but still funny.

[dageezerboi]

cheggers and Barry from eastenders lmao!

[MsDDiddy]

could someone explain stephen's jokes after he says "for those of you who know me know where i'd rather be." I don't get why the crowd went wild after that.

[babzcorleone]

@MsDDiddy Coz he said 'rather'..as in he'd rather be in america with Ricky

[kriminalcollective]

I can't believe there are people out there who actually think this was a genuine exchange between RG and SM. Of course it was deliberate! It's the fucking comedy awards, the whole exchange was straight out of a sitcom script for fuck sake.

Do you people also think The Office is a real documentary?

Maaaaan people are stupid.

[creepingdeathbellz]

I felt so bad for Steven, they should have gave him his moment.

[circuiser]

"those of you that know me know where I'd rather be" great line

[dageezerboi]

@circuiser yeah i didnt get that line?

[chapstickman34]

i hope stephen wins an oscar

[ultamatefrogmaster]

@chapstickman34 He deffinatly deserves one!!!

[pstirnimann]

colleague*, not "college Stephen Merchant"

[chinahands100]

nigella lawson..i would i could..:P

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

i think the 1 dislike was Stephen Merchant himself

[weetbx]

@MrRosstifarian

He would rather be with Ricky having dinner with Stiller and Seinfeld >.>

[kyle1986silk]

@MrRosstifarian jesus you're dumb

[hendrixexperiencedig]

the extras is genius

[purplenurps]

Overall i would say merchant is funnier

[SaulMeyersz]

@purplenurps merchant is so funny and he has a great sounding voice , ever hear him read karls diary lol.. its great ..

but poor stephen he finally wins something and ricky is standing above him so huge likes hes big brother .. ha

anyways they both work better together

[bassben04]

Smerch is is a legend.

[balazslodi]

''You drank two cans of lager yourself, you nutter...'' Brilliant :-D

[slytherinsheirx]

My, Jonathan. How you have gone right downhill since this was filmed.

[balazslodi]

@slytherinsheirx True, he just not funny....

[sdaciuk]

Awesome exchange, I think Steve wins for thinking on the spot.

[StephenKuma]

ahhhhhh well done Mr. Ross! didn't know you, or anybody for that matter, gave Jack Dee his just deserves for ripping off Curb.

[wolves2425]

Both legends, awesome writers!

[leedsfanca]

Liza Tarbuck. How did she get her break in the business ?

[Tremuoso]

@leedsfanca Blowing a higher-up at the BBC I'd imagine. Ahaha

[ThommoSling]

Poor Steve. He wasn't joking when he had a go at Ricky for 'stealing his moment'. I was thinking the exact same thing, but Steve handled it in his own modest and witty way. I loved seeing Ricky's face when Steve responded to the 'well done' speech by Ricky. He didn't change expression. It would have been good to hear what his brain was saying, but then maybe we need Karl to tell us what the eyes were seeing before his brain was seeing it?

[Johnny6666]

Thommo - they were having a laugh! They'd probably even scripted it.

[heartandsoul1988]

@ThommoSling cant beleve you know who karl is yet you dont understand ricky and smerchs sense of humour

[beanz443]

@ThommoSling That is exactly their sense of humour, of course they were joking. Listen to the podcasts more carefully they have tasteless digs at each other very rarely but when they do they mimic this.

[lordprotector]

@DismayOfficial I have listened to every Xfm show available, the entire podcast series and all of guide books and my judgement is that this is how they work. So I guess you must have been offended quite often on Stephen's behalf, I you have been listening to them for ages. They do these kind of teasing with each other all the time, when they are no preoccupied with Karl's musings.

[DismayOfficial]

@lordprotector me to mayn i've watched/listend to everything with their name on it.... im some sort of ricky, karl n steve obsessed freak.

i wasent offended but i can usually tell when steve is..... ricky and karl tend to not give themselves away as much. but i thought it was an obvious setup between jonathon and ricky. but i duno

[JunglistSolo]

@DismayOfficial suggest spending less time listening/watching everything with their name on it and more time studying grammar and how to spell words correctly

[DismayOfficial]

@JunglistSolo oh big whoop you fucking tosser, cause i spelt listened and wasn't wrong? get over it pussy.

[jnmklo9]

Great writers that was so funny, Liza is so gorgeous.

[tdk2592]

Lmao I'm getting a ride home with Barry.

[homers67]

Merchant wqs funny

[SilverdaleDubs]

I want Merchant to do the best man speech at my wedding!!

Genius!!

[preacherthirteen]

quite simply - the best comedy pair in decades!

[jnmklo9]

I would a quick upload with Liza she is so gorgeous.

[ch1mpanzeethat]

@jnmklo9

Yea she's lovely

[mr2gti]

Gold - absolute gold.

Great upload :)

[MissKateUK]

Good to see Steve getting recognition for his work.

[Ngtriads]
