or is Ricky Gervais a nasty piece of work?

[Numberfour]

nasty session of taking the p*ss

I don't like his humour.

So many otherwise bright and intelligent people I know seem to find his constant sending up of this character so funny. I was beginning to think I was the only one how couldn't see anything amusing about it at all.

Surely it's partly all staged?

I have never thought he was funny.

He came to Brussels in his youth and my sister-in-law spent some time with him at a party. He was apparently an arrogant so and so then...

The series isn't funny imo but it's not nasty.
Too staged.

I think he is awful - I have never understood why he is meant to be funny. He is like a playground bully in some ways.

I liked him in the Office, but then again this was amusing as I'd worked with a 'David Brent' (am sure many of us have) & the painful similarities made me chuckle.

Sorry, but I can't see why thats nasty, thats the whole concept of Karl Pilkington!

I never thought he was funny either. I liked an idiot abroad but it was Karl that made it, the bits with Ricky weren't funny. His humour is childish and self-absorbed.

I also thought that Karl was in the joke in that clip though. It's staged, but it is Karl making the jokes, not Ricky.

it's nasty at all - not in the least.

Karl Pilkington is in on the joke so how is it nasty?

Agree can't stand Ricky Gervais, dh liked him - so I guess that old saying each to their own - but he's not allowed to watch him in our house

I listened to that yesterday, it wasn't nasty in the slightest

lighten up people

How the feck did Gervais ever get to have his rather unattractive face onscreen in the first place?

Not funny, not clever, not nice.

The Office and Extras are brilliant shows.

Are the people who don't like him the sort of people that like things like 'allo 'allo, the Brittas Empire and My Family?

always wondered who they were....

thought sto

Terry and June is on UK Gold if you're interested...

was disappointed with Idiot series but his other stuff is hilarious

"Are the people who don't like him the sort of people that like things like 'allo 'allo, the Brittas Empire and My Family?"

What a weird thing to say.

yes, it's all for you Stewie - I seek you out.

How is this nasty? I thought it was quite funny. Gervais works with KP. He's in on it.

I cant stand RG. Im glad his role in Night at The Museuem 2 was smaller than the first!!! Didnt have to see his ugly mug on the screen. He is far too full of his own self importance!!!

I started watching that out of curiosity, but I had to turn it off because it made my teeth itch. It was very unpleasant and so was he. Quite often when someone plays a nasty character on-screen you find they're quite nice in RL, but I have yet to find any virtues at all in Mr Gervaise.

Still, I hear he speaks very well of me
