Lucky old Ricky...80 million?

Dont like his feature films. Sort of like his stand up.

The Office had fantastic reviews. Liked the funny dance; but got fed up of the programme.

Ricky himself says "I am a minority taste"

I suppose he is. But it pays bloody well in USA Do you "get" his stuff. "Gabby"

Stangirl - Is that you Ricky?? Grin

I'm glad he's nice in RL, while there are probably parts of himself in his characters, if he was anything like the tossers he acts out, I'm sure he'd not have got as far as he has.

The comic relief sketch that he did a few years ago was great and a bit naughty

I think he comes across as a bit of a twat, but that's neither here nor there. If people are willing to chuck that amount of money at him then that's their stupidity.

I don't think what he does is worth that amount of money.

But I don't think kicking a bit of leather round a field is worth millions.

Or stripping half naked and grabbing your crotch while 'singing'.

Or memorising someone else's words and saying them in front of a camera.

But again, people are willing to chuck huge amounts of money about and who's going to say "No thanks, actually, I'm not really worth tem million for a film / football match / song..." no. You're going to grab the cash and run before the bloody muppets come to their senses Grin
