What!? Rickys so funny! Such a prick, but he's hilarious.

As a writer as well, wow. The office, extras and his stand up are all great in my opinion. Deserves all the success he gets to be honest!

I recommend downloading the "guides to.." series. They are great!

Is it like the youtube link above?

Sort of. Karl does most of the talking in the majority of the podcasts and tells these awesome stories, like the time he kicked his own height.
All the podcasts basically involves Ricky and Steve asking Karl for his opinions of certain topics. The Guide to Series is just a more aimed towards a single general topic like medicine or history etc. While I enjoy the Guide to series I think they reach their absolute peak around Series 4 - The Podfather Trilogy. Honestly though nearly every episode has it's charms and all of them will make you laugh lots, even if you are not a fan of Gervais.

Any one here use to listen to the old Russell Brand radio shows with hero among men Matt Morgan?

David Brent = Genius creation.

Ricky Gervais = Smarmy, unlikeable, loathsome little c*nt.

I listened to one of the podcasts yesterday. Ricky Gervais just comes across as a gigantic ****. He ruins any kind of funny joke by over-laughing at the joke in a really annoying way.

Karl was good. He had some funny comments but he seems like a gimmick.

D.Q

Ah..I can't be moved on it. I suppose you either love him or hate him. Its weird, like, I love Rickys laugh, I think that adds to the whole thing!

Yeah, alot of people have said they think he's a gimmick, but I have all the material. Back when they were on the radio, and it was just gervais and merchant, and Karl would just chime in every so often, he was exactly the same then.

Diabhal, check out the Ricky gervais show on YouTube, it's the podcasts with animation but it's done extraordinarily well.
I think I heard somewhere that Seth McFarlane and Matt greoning thought it was brilliant.

True, The Office is superb and I will always love it, but wow Gervais is terrible apart from that. The stand up is very mediocre and those radio shows are basically him calling Karl a retard non stop, its unpleasant to listen to really. Extras was very poor stuff and its tragic when you consider that masterpieces like 15 Storey's High are undervalued compared to that horribly smug show. His Simpson's episode was poor, but heh that's been in the comfort zone for so long. :mad:

Post of the day. I hate Ricky Gervais. Never found him funny especially his stand up. The Simpsons episode he did is up there with the worst episodes ever.

The only comedian I hate more than him is Russell Brand.

Wenger called Redknapp's bluff by picking a strong team, no complaints from me though

It's 17.59 so to CM Punk and to all members of the Straight Edge Society:)

What exactly is the meaning or purpose of straight edge? Is it just to solely become a better person? I read a basic article about it on Wikipedia, but it just goes into the history and progression, but not what it actually means to be straight edge.

DM_7

Its like about a group who share values of not poisening themselves

Straight Edge by Minor Threat, 1981 [3] I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and **** my head Hang out with the living dead Snort white **** up my nose Pass out at the shows I don't even think about speed That's something I just don't need I've got the straight edge I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and smoke dope 'Cause I know I can cope Laugh at the thought of eating ludes Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue Always gonna keep in touch Never want to use a crutch I've got the straight edge

Right let me tell you a tale. BTW we played Corofin in football (my fault) in the senior. We got bayten by 2 points.

Here's a tale. I played against people like Michael Meehan and Sean Armstrong. I can honestly say I kept Armstrong scoreless for a whole match.

Meehan is unstoppable (unless he's injured).

Hurling I'm fairly average at sadly.
