I'll give it a go though - cheers! Derek was dreadful. Afterlife is brilliant, funny honest but a bit melancholy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 To be fair - Derek is the only bad thing I've ever seen him do. He's even funny on Comic Relief and that's a first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've not enjoyed someone's work previously, it's hard to be motivated to follow other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted January 6, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2020 I've only watched the office and afterlife Both absolutely brilliant in their own ways I think David Brent could actually be modelled on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Afterlife is superb, catches every emotion some will go through losing someone so close. His stage show is great, he knows he’ll lose punters but ‘what the hell’, at least he’s got the guts to express himself and laugh at it. Didn’t like him much until I watched his stage show, did what he had to do to entertain the crowd, did it superbly I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 For some reason I want to find Ricky Gervais not funny. But I can’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Gervais is superb. Love pretty much everything he's done, apart from Derek, which was as shit as Derik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted January 7, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2020 Interesting how folk find things funny, both Derek and Afterlife were brilliant in my opinion. Tim Vine, now there's a comedian that's really not funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I read about Michelle Williams that she thanked her aborted child for enabling her to have a successful career I didn’t watch it; is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Ricky Gervais though and anything he does. That last night was brilliant. I would probably say it is the best British "sit com" of all time. Complete genius. Genre defining. And the writing is unbelievably good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted January 7, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2020 that clip was very funny for the record: UK office, very good US office, very good once it stops trying to be the UK office Extras - some of those cameos are comedy gold never seen Derek Afterlife ok as for his stand up, only seen Animals, but it's very very funny close to the bone but a class apart from trying-too-hard-to-shock comics like Frankie Boyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
