Im sorry, but it is
Its shit
oh no, all the fans of ricky on this board will be so mad about this truthful post
>netflix
>ricky gervais
well what gave it away OP?
Only thing he's been good in was Curb Your Enthusiasm as a complete asshole.
THATS
BECAUSE
THE CHINESE
LOOK
OLDER
What has he done that's good? The first season of Extras and his radio show? Most of what he makes it really garbage. I used to give his stuff a chance, but I have no interest in anything he does these days.
I dont know, it was shilled a lot I guess.
I mean I saw the short clip with the fat kid yelling ‘pedo’ and that was legit funny, but I had thought the whole show was like that.
And then its like the same pattern, his dead wife giving him advice (which is the lamest deus ex machina ever) and intermittent clips of him splashing her with water in different locations, also the dialogues don’t lead anywhere, its just a mish-mash of B class comedians and lesser known actors in random situations.

>hands up if you recognize which of the cast played a totally unimportant role in Black Books
It's not shit, it's just banal, it's too bland to be shit. It's a paint by numbers painfully predictable plot, where a guy does and says whatever he wants because he's sad, then he gets less sad and isn't horrible to everyone again.
I gave this a chance, out of the blue, and by the end I was mad and puzzled.
>kill homeless guy and tell brother in law
>end up loving life again and have everyone call you a good person
>>hands up if you recognize which of the cast played a totally unimportant role in Black Books
I haven't watched black books in like... 17 years but I'm guess it's the big lad who likes eating. He's in so many small bit parts in British sit coms and has been for like 20+ years
It's so shit.
Loved office, Extras is good, his podcasts were good, idiot abroad was good..
but this... oh my god.. its worse than Derek
>kill homeless guy and tell brother in law
>end up loving life again and have everyone call you a good person
I guess you, the audience, are supposed to "hang on a minute" about that, as the last scene is the "sex worker" looking forlornley at the junkies garage before meeting her next client. It's just lazy writing desu
The office UK is his masterpiece. Infinite re watch value
don't watch the movie.
>but this... oh my god.. its worse than Derek
False. Nothing is worse than that utter drivel. I didn't like After Life but Derek might be the worst mainstream program I've ever experienced.
>He might be a spastic but he's got a heart of gold
That's literally the plot to the series, FUCK
Karl Pilkington is the only good thing that's ever come out of ricky gervais's career.
Is the scene in the UK Office where Ricky does his funny dance a metaphor for his entire career post season 1 of extras?
>it was shilled a lot I guess.
Where? Might have missed under all the box office threads.
>Derek might be the worst mainstream program I've ever experienced.
Lmao okay you fucking retard. Derek was shit but it wasn't that shit, even the way you type denotes someone without any comedic sensitivity whatsoever. Go on, come back with a scathing, defensive reply you brainlet.
You need to calm down, I just didn't like Derek.
One example of a worse mainstream comedy, cunt. Now.
Look at this tough guy. Spastic. You obviously don't watch much UK comedy and understand just how fucking wank it is. Go on, google it. You'll see 20 shows shiter than Derek. Fresh Meat for example. But I bet you like that don't you, you cumstain?
Life exists out of Yea Forums, user kun
wait what?
I havent seen the show yet and dont want to, but he kills a homeless person?
Never heard of it.
No. The homeless tells Rick if he had money he would intentionally overdose on it, so Rick gives him some money and tell him to not waste on food.
>watched one episode of Derek with my mate
>chavvy girl on work experience, working at the old people's home
>within seconds of her introduction we are both calling how she's actually realise that old people are fun etc
>Derek is asked about being tested for autism or something
>literally says "will it change who I am" "no" "what's the point then" and Gervais looks at the camera
Never watched it again. Gervais can't do subtly
>his dead wife giving him advice (which is the lamest deus ex machina ever)
It's shit but you're also retarded.
His original xfm radio show with Steve and Karl is some of the funniest shit I've ever heard. Mostly because of Karl but he needs Ricky there to rile him up.
its just unoriginal and maybe a bit too naive and soap opera-ish
I may be retarded but not as retarded as that plot magic. Because its basically written by Gervais, for Gervais. Its like he wrote exactly how he thinks a dying woman would like to tell her side of the story. And then he looks sadly into his laptop screen and thats supposed to immerse me in their love story?
Which is so realistic and deep and ‘the guy like, totally did it, you know?’
Which is the exact reason why a producer shouldnt be the lead in their own show, or more exactly the lead shouldnt be the producer. Not everyone can make a show in which the world actually doesnt revolve exclusively around them, which unfortunately is the case here
the whole show is based on some alternative version of himself, or how he sees himself. for example his monologue against twitter trolls and trolls on the internet, and obviously the atheism stuff. also the thing about not wanting kids because they're annoying and many more. its basically himself if he wasn't famous and his wife died
>this
His first two specials are all right
