Extras 2-3-1

[HahaToasted]

DanRad is just so amazing in this :L

[iamthe1337est]

Seeing Steve next to Warwick is hilarious.

[LondonPride25]

It must be strange for Americans, who are unfamiliar with British slang, to hear Daniel Radcliffe tell his Mum that Maggie was "trying to give him fags".

[weefeatures]

The theme music for When the Whistle Blows reminds me of the Only Fools and Horses theme tune.

[1999matrix]

Did they change this scene. I remember him saying "Halle Barry" instead of "Billy Piper"?

[Lesartiste]

@1999matrix

It was changed from Billie Piper to Halle Berry for the American audience. 

[Mewsa64]

@1999matrix

Quite a few references were changed for the American version, just to make sure the audience would get the jokes. This being one of them.

[Bullitt54321]

'When The Whistle Blows' is actually better TV and more funny than 99.9% of current BBC output - and unlike Andy Millman, I'm NOT avin' a laff...

[TheSobek]

I like the way When the Whistle Blows begins to replace Extras as it slowly eats Andy's soul.

[breah23]

Does the animated intro imply the female factory worker is the main character of When the Whistle Blows?

[xmod4itx]

A ring don't mean a thing. . . hahaha best line in extras!

[LisaJJMerry]

"David Dickinson came on and his tan nearly took me eyeballs out"

[matrat57]

Ok, just to point the obvious: Merchant and Warwick side to side is quite a fucking thing XD

[whitexchina]

...dun ask them if they wanna buy your telly. I love british humor. Especially Gervais & Co.

[ursie1986]

Love how they included Steve's XFM joke about David Dickenson's tan!

[Kalinho83]

when the wistle blows is funny as hell..

[Sahrinzs]

I wanna kill that agent.

[aurosne]

I think this has got to be the best episode of them all. Freakin laugh feast. Merchant is the best.

[MissusFingerBottom]

i never thought daniel radcliffe is a good actor but he's brilliant in this one!

[mdunnemiles]

Gary Tank Commander in When the Whistle Blows?!



[ballerinagirl1001]

"I've done it with a girl, intercourse wise. So if you're looking for-"

"Daniel!"

"Here's my mum, say they're your fags!"

[SicSyke619]

i just realised that warick was leprecahn

[SharksKid]

It wasn't until I discovered the XFM shows that I realized how Rick and Steve have sprinkled pieces of Karl's personality throughout the show, .e.g Gobbler, Maggie.

[hihihippl]

@SharksKid Oh yeah, can definitely see that. Especially in the Ross Kemp episode, they referred to his head as perfectly round and bald. Reminds me of someone!

[Youdontlikemetalomg]

Merchant was dynamite in this.

[lulu777lulu]

so much respect for daniel radcliffe for doing this

[oasis4ever92]

fair play to radcliffe for going on this.

[Katfuzzmunchkin]

Um, could you just turn around while I make this phone call? I can't do it if you're watching.

[WKaliberr]

Cock on my penis?

[TheRedJester86]

poor kid

[seekoober]

Check out the video of Steve and Warwick impersonating the soccer players Crouch and Rooney. It makes me laugh every damn time!

[hwmusicaldbcom]

Stephen Merchant is about 2 meters tall fyi :-)

[ursie1986]

LOVE the fact that they used steve's xfm story about his tv being too big

[Fukkutah]

who really needs an agent like that .. I mean really???

[alexdknight1]

the bit with warick and steven makesme cringe soo much

[chewbaccamasks]

Oh god some of this is just too socially painful to watch lol you just want ricky to tell stephen to shut up X'D

[Shanklyboyz]

"May aswellll ring 'em in ere thennn!"

[dervish2173]

karl pilkington was an extra in one of the episode lol

[nochtis]

'ELLO IT IS I, WARWICK DAAAAVIS!

[cpfc4evar]

Ohhh Midget !

[Seagerash]

Radcliffe is brilliant in this

[GeoMcEvan]

@Seagerash he's like a precursor to Will from the Inbetweeners

[Mayna00]

I love how they make sure that Stephen Merchant is in all the scenes with the shorter actors like Warwick Davis and Ronnie Corbett =D

SMERCH FTW!

[simhthmss]

that was genius, giant meets a dwarf

[MrAlofbag]

Never buy the sun. Justice for the 96.

[No9Nando]

@MrAlofbag I agree but what's it got to do with Extras?

[HenryKrinkleFilms]

Ooop, midget,

[HarrisJamesBen]

"Billie Piper, little magical kid with glasses.." lmao

[theJagaJazzist]

2:15 - 4:15. (especially the last line)

[HarrisJamesBen]

@theJagaJazzist That is a masterclass of a comedy scene xD

[martinmedeski]

I would actually quite like when the whistle blows if it was on

[GlitterPrinsessan]

What is this movie about?! Harry Potter in a scout-outfit and Ricky in a prisoncamp suit? I wonder what the thinking is there :)

"Wood-elf, why do you cry?"

[belisariusorb]

Ooooh MIDGET!

[nofearsukhi]

I've done it with a girl ..... intercourse wise  LMFAO!!

[toefeather]

I'VE DONE IT. with a girl. intercourse-wise.

[johnnyvi]

Oh Midget!

[sb12505]

I actually like that song.

[mognite]

That agent is so incompetent...

[iloveneytiri]

Also the TV scene was on XFM when Steve bought a to big a TV.

[3eau2aniel]

When the whistle blows is hilarious lol

[warriorofwrestling]

'I'd probably just have a bag of crisps'

That line could have been spoken by Karl Pilkington himself

[xumbapaice]

@warriorofwrestling Ironically or coincidentally, "piranha" in Brazilian Portuguese is slang for whore or skank, so she WOULD go for the cock first! OOh! Ooh! why didn't they know I existed to help with this script? I saw this series on Brazilian HBO and the really English idioms and whatnot were so crappily "translated". Eeeeeh, life's soooo bloooody unfair, as they would say on WTWB.

[hadabenz]

"can i fit in your house??" 5:41

hahahaha

[iloveneytiri]

When The Whistle Blows, better than Friends, The Big Bang Theory and other popular crap aimed at the worlds thickest people.

[idine08]

@iloveneytiri lol, do you really think so??

[iloveneytiri]

Extras is the 3rd best programme I have ever seen. After The Office and The Good Wife. Weirdest thing is even When The Whistle Blows is perfect, idiots would genuinely love shit like that.

[WillCarruthers]

2.03 is actually pretty funny.

[hadabenz]

"knock is he knock knock, HALOUUUUUUUUUUUU"

hahahahaha Smerch :)

[hionman]

Gervais and Merchant are thieves, that scene with the whistle and wood elf was taken out of Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past - Thieving Nintendo Bastards ya...

[MissusFingerBottom]

Andy should really fire Darren from the start and perhaps hire Maggie's agent... Maggie's always getting extra work so I guess her agent must be alright

[waldoistwisted]

Stupid hair and glasses? IT crowd anyone?

[pacbizkit]

7:47 onward is pure Brent from The Office lol

[funnyamericans93]

when was this made, was it 2007?

[WKaliberr]

Steve STOLE this episode

[mackenzi321]

6.37 potter has to look away to stop him pissing himself lol

[kingal27]

TRUE THAT

[TheReilly8]

when the whistle blows is funnier than my family

[belisariusorb]

"When the Whistle Blows" is really not bad enough to be as bad as they say in the reviews - compared with Vicar of Dibley it's actually quite good

[RoguishBlonde]

Daniel's inability to act makes me more annoyed than ever HERE...even more than harry potter. his voice just gets on my nerves

[MarxistKnight]

I like how a show that Gervais and Merchant try to make as bad as possible is still better than some of the stuff on tv at the moment!

[1137moiz]

tbh terrible as this "when the whistle blows" show is, it's nothing compared to the horror that is American television.

[jimijable]

Stephen Merchant is F^&*ing hilarious.

[kiddycat124]

hahahahaha oooh av finished funny that part the sitcom is quite funny tbh

[alainclaudepierre]

I saw that guy warwick davis climbing in a shop window, it's hilarious! click my name to view!

[BearWindAppleyard]

"oh.. midget"

[Fubs]

"Ah I may as well do it in here then" Too funny

[LilSerenity1983]

Toy monkey!

[sl4yar]

''WHERE?...oop midget''

[sl4yar]

''WHERE?''

[scousegizmo]

how funny is stephen merchant........could i fit in your house! Quality

[unlockthepower]

the tv story is a true story from Steve from back in the XFM days. They use alot of their old material that came up in conversations from XFM on Extras like the pen thing where they wank over the lady on the pen.

[unlockthepower]

cll424 Thanks very much for uploading these!!!

[utdfordouble]

oooh midget

hahahahha

[Arkanovi1989]

Lol at 6:33 Daniel Radcliffe is looking away to laugh, they obviously gave up trying to go for one flawless take :P

[WKaliberr]

Maggie would be much more attractive if her mouth wasn't open ALL THE TIME

[sausagedogmcgee]

I love how unbearably shit all the films are in this.

[groovingsoul]

"When the whistle blows" is quite good actually.

[ScarTissue1990]

Love the reference to Dickinson's tan, they did that joke on XFM. Love seeing how some of this script came together.

[Arkanovi1989]

Was going to comment the exact same thing, there's quite a few lines from XFM on here.

[ShInIgAmI354]

mercgant fukin kills it...when he talks to midget....

[PurushaDesa]

Is the BBC trying to tell us something about their preferred taste in sitcom, by attaching their logo to 'When the Whistle Blows' as opposed to Extras? I pray that was Gervais's choice and not theirs!

[2000Maedchen]

@PurushaDesa It's supposed to be a BBC 1 sitcom. You should watch the series, you know.

[PurushaDesa]

I do know that. I've just finished watching the whole 13 episodes. My remark was a bit sardonic, but I do find it an interesting stylistic choice that they used the fake sitcom as an opportunity to put the BBC logo on the front of the show, instead of the actual sitcom.

[2000Maedchen]

I guess it just makes it more realistic =)

[unclej87]

haha well said.

[Long23]

Radcliffe was cloned from scrapings taken from Harry Enfield's laundry...

[FreakinSweet86]

Warwick Davis FTW!

[LouiseLollipop]

Steve Merchant is pure comedy in this.

[undurrrrdog]

'Are those your own clothes?'

[belisariusorb]

Merchant is at his goofiest best here... demented face. Mental

[hughsey1990]

4:52

[joebhoy182]

The David Dickinson bit was funny on the XFM show - But Smerch's face added to the equation just makes it so much funnier.

[Cueball786]

i think daniel radcliffe isn't a great actor, but this is so funny!!!!! he's done well here

[CystVonCysor]

I love Andy's face and gasp when the agent goes 'Oop, midget!'

[kevgirl11]

I LOVE the expression on Warwick's face when he plays his flute!

[voteforalan]

This is Warwick... Where? Oh, midget. Hello.

Funny little name, as well as a man.

[tbra3477]

I think it's: 'funny little name as well to match.'

IF it were a man that would be fucked! lol

[baerin18]

you noticed how all the boys making it big in their early teens dont grow all that much later on in life and either remain short and petite or just boyish looking. radcliff, wood, culkin, osment

[MissusFingerBottom]

@baerin18 yea I know right! Strange....also Frankie Muniz from Malcom in the Middle! Although there are exceptions like the cutie that is Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd rock from the sun.

[ukulazy]

I have to say, Daniel Radcliffe is fantastic in this episode.

[chrisfm23]

No he´s not, he plays only the same du,b boy he plays in HP. Only because he isnt afraid to take the piss out of himself doesnt make him a great actor ...

[ukulazy]

Ricky Gervais and Merchant write and direct the episode, they tell Radcliffe what his character should be like...

If you notice in the episode he is starring in a role very similar to his HP 'child fantasy' part. And like every other guest star, he is simply a distorted version of himself.

Ie: if Harry Potter used his fame in the books to screw impressionable Wizzardettes...

[rorrt]

They changed loads of little lines for the americans for this show. they changed Billie Piper to Halle Berry

[tyynepulskatar]

"I've done it with a girl" bwaahaha this made me crack up. I love this show and these stupid versions they've made of celebrities :''D

[AbyssalLyrist]

A lot of the content from Extras you can find in their XFM Radio Shows from years ago, and it's still just as funny this time around.

[lickstickly]

the xfm shows are all on youtube as well just search the ricky gervais show coz i cant be assed to post a link

[rorrt]

And his stand up.

still you cant complain its all funny, are you talking about david dickingson taking his eyes out.

[sumfinorother]

daniel rcliff is a cock

[dunerztd]

"This is Warwick"

"Where? ohh midget!"

haha classic

[breah23]

6:35

Funny how Daniel Radcliffe pulls away from the camera 'cause he's about to burst out laughing.

[Legon1986]

i think he was looking for the birds...

[RaggedM88]

yea dude he was looking for the birds

[AbyssalLyrist]

Breah - Yeah I remember the outtakes for that, he just couldn't stop laughing. I noticed he barely managed not to there, too.

[chrisfm23]

Radcliffe is not an actor, he is a boy - a sitcom-ruining-boy! His acting is gross!

[captainantlad]

i actually like "When the Whistle Blows" for some reason...

[Pillowmat]

it does have a catchy tune.

[sec0ndevolution]

"It's not my cup of tea, to be honest, if I'm being truthful. It's not my thing, I can't get with it..."

[dullahgg]

could i fit in your house?? ahahahahhaha

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Radcliffe's adolescent voice does my fucking nut in. He sounds like your average chav who mouths off outside your local chip shop.

[JanineRobin]

Steve is so good as Darren

[lickstickly]

i know i want to see Steve step out of ricky's shadow as he is a brilliant comic actor

[WKaliberr]

@JanineRobin Steve IS Darren

[shallotson]

Blimey. It must have been difficult, but Daniel Radcliffe has managed to ruin even Ricky Gervais' comedy.

[DJDonaL3000]

Harry Potter is a baddass? ha ha ha

[PhillyDickinson]

Love the noise Radcliffe makes when he pulls out the fags, very David Brent.

[johnnygannerss]

sounds like karl talking at the begining lol

[ocelotrevs]

half of the jokes on the show were on their XFM show.

[THthefirst]

half?

or some?

[matthewdamuff]

i LOVE Gerv's reaction to 'oh, midget!'

[IndiAsiaEarth]

one of the best Extras episodes

[OmgitsNeens]

This was seriously the best episode of extras and not just because daniel radcliffe was in it

[paolodicanio9876]

"ooh midget"

"and funny little name too match"

[CystVonCysor]

Knockity knock knock...hullooooo!

[mackamanny]

hes only acting...

[princesschat]

he's obviously more sucessful then you.

[m032959]

Why do you not like him. He's hardly cocky is he. He's just an actor (good actor)

[ajojingujang]

brilliant...

[anythingidontcare99]

I checked with them straight away, and you'll still get paid even if your performance is crap.

You didn't ask them?

Yeah, i was worried..etc.

Brilliant.

And, don't ask them about the tv! Ok, ill call em in here.

[Alicejustmetidy]

OMG DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS SO CRINGY

this is the best episode

:D

[Metalaxeman666]

i love that bit about stephens tv, talkin about dickinson, cause they talked about that on the XFM shows!!

[finalgbster]

when he spits the drink and he goes "Oh, ive finished" I did geninly find that funny lol

[tiesarefun]

lol me too :)

[rewirewi]

Stephen Merchant is the funniest guy on earth

[mznxbcv01]

'little magical kid with glasses? you know andy's in his forties...oh they've got someone for him...'

haaaaaaaa

[Marquiffe]

I thought the show was called WHEN THE WIND BLOWS

[hobbit1410]

Could I fit in your house? ROFL!!

[hobbit1410]

There's too many good things... i can't even decide which to make into a comment XD

[adlufc1141]

4:52 - oooooh midgit!

: )

[calgaryguy78]

lol! Dude thats the little bugger from the Movie Willow!

[Hotspur21]

Yeah! So unnecessary. And Andy's reaction to it...

[66crackers]

Stephen Merchant: just brilliant!

"Oh, I may as well do it in here then".

Absolutely bloody hilarious!

[LaurensDogg]

'Oh, I finished...'

Even when Gervais tries to make intentionally crap comedy it's funny.

[CounterX01]

The bit about the TV is gold.

[SHATTAPYOFACE]

it's willow ufgood!!!

[johnisfun]

are those your own clothes? xDDD

[dovstanley]

well, his shows not "that" bad...

wtf are you watching it for then you thick cunt
