WE all know how brilliant it is. The mammoth hype from 4 years ago was completely justified. Gervais is what Friedrich Nietzsche had in when he conceptualized his philosophical ideas on Man and Superman…..or some bollocks.

''Gervais is what Friedrich Nietzsche had in MIND* when he blah blah blah blah,''
Fat with bad teeth and a massive ego
I can why Hitler agreed.
possibly my second favourite comedy series behind alan partridge
I prefer the American version.
Ooooh.
i no longer trust you on anything
EVER
The american version
is actualyl very good. after the first season it came into its own and was pretty fucking funny. They just need to leave it be now, as it will only get worse.
This is one of the best bits from it....

Series 2 & 3 were out of this world.
Series 4, not so much. I agree, I think they should stop it soon.
And that clip is GOLD.
im not suggesting its rubbish
but its definately not better
Agreed
I've recently started watching the US Version, initially I saw one of the first series and it put me off a bit, as it was very similar to the original. As said though, in the 2nd series it really comes into its own and the characters develop more, I'm currently midway through season 3.
Probably for the best
Series 4 is letting me down a bit
the whole Jim will propose soon thing is just boring. Seasons 2&3 were amazing though. Creed is such a brilliant character.
My fav comedy of all time
i could talk about this for years on end.
Gareth: In this room I have special...
Tim: ...needs?
Gareth: No, in this room I am a special...
Tim: ...needs child?
Gareth: No, and that's not even funny.
:D
i love it so much
.
David Brent: I'm angry, and not because I'm in it, but because it degrades women. Which I hate.
im replying to myself
David Brent: Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that Neil will be taking over both branches, and some of you will lose your jobs. Those of you who are kept on will have to relocate to Swindon, if you wanna stay. I know, gutting. On a more positive note, the good news is, I've been promoted, so... every cloud. You're still thinking about the bad news aren't you?
'he's dead'
'he's not dead'
it just
sounds a bit gay thats all.
its not gay.
(are we really gonna do this?)
yes we are
'go on..who was the cuban leader'
'fray bentos'
lolz!!
'If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain - do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits'
'like beefy...
..and thats what i think of your selection policy...now ive got to walk to john o' groats for some spastics'
..
Tim: I live with my parents
David: Cherish them. Both of mine are dead. Well, my dad's not dead, but in a home, so good as.
lol
right, this ones my last so ill make it a good en
'yup..see you then'
'and dont forget to bring the toys ag..'
'er..hello...yup...yeh...i look forward to doing that to you too...ok ..yup..yeh.. bye'
'sorry what toys?...is it buckaroo?.....its not boggle?......if its kerplunk, im coming round'
thats a goodan.
i wish i could quote the part where he glues the phone. Gareth picks it up after taking forever to get it unstuck and tim just goes 'cock'.
(i realised i just quoted).
just to let you know, when my phone rings from the majority of my friends, it rings with tims voice saying 'you're a cock, you're a cock, you're a cock'
good work my friend
when i didnt reply with one too quickly that was mostly time spent trying to work out how to write visual gags
experminate!
i agree
i actually might have this down as my fave of all time...ever
it really did just completely change the face of comedy
(sorry, im just rehearsing for channel fours 100 greatest embarressing comedy moments, presented by a jimmy/alan carr dream team. me and roland rivron are going for a pint tomorrow to practice our lines.'fawlty towers was funny because whasisface got angry lots'. thats rolands. bloody brilliant. bastard.)
and im definatly willing to give the american version a crack. the couple episodes ive seen have been good, with their own distinct style
what is the best series?
I've seen the DVD'S going fairly cheaply in Zavvi.
they're all actually brilliant
so you can't go wrong. might be best to start with series 1 though.
"If I can't see you, I can't hear you, Gareth."
I tend to watch it all through
once a year and do love it all all over again.
I was just watching the one with that training day where Brent brings in his guitar.
I actually was copying it for a girl I work with then thought
"ohhh shit! that Tim & Dawn thing going on.. hope she doesn't think I am suggesting something!"
are you suggesting something?
;) <---- suggestive wink
Yes
but a wanted to be subtle about it.
watch Brents face when the song kicks in....and Gareth in the background.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoK-T62aWWk
the best bit about that
is when gareth has said that their love was like a car crash
brent gives thumbs up
then dawn says 'in paris?'
look at brent...he actually believes in and expects gareth to give an answer to that before he says it..if you know what i mean
don know why but that tickles me
i once
spent half an hour laughing at exactly that change in facial expression when stoned with a mate in france. by the end i was terrified i'd never be able to stop. weird.
i have never seen
the mighty boosh.
Strangely
Never seen it. Not one episode.
sort your life out
i'm pleased this thread is still going
'Oh, what would Lenny Henry say? I think we know. Imagine him going out of the door on Comic Relief day and Dawn French is going 'Where you going, you haven't done the washing up. You haven't put the rubbish out.' 'DO IT YOURSELF, I'VE GOTTA SAVE SOME AFRICANS!'.'
just when i thought i was out
(signing the autograph)
'whats your name'
'david'
'oop.from one david to another'
'is you name david?'
'ah for fu..yes.'
...
'Absolutely Flabulous is another'
ROFL
Gareth: Right, her details. Her marital status: single, divorced-
David: Not divorced. Nah, husband might still be around, might be a nutter. I'm not getting into all that.
Gareth: Widowed?
David: I'd bloody love her to be widowed.
British comedies
1. Brasseye
2. The Office
The Office is ace
I rarley watch it anymore but when I dig it out it always makes me think hell it acctualy is brilliant.
I love that bit in the Christmas special where Gervais
walks into Gareth's office and Gareth's annoyed that he didn't ring but Gervais is initially putting on a fake smile, etc.
Gareth: "All farmers have wives."
Tim: "This one doesn't, he's gay."
Gareth: "Well, then, he shouldn't be allowed near animals should he?"
^ winner
quality.
Gareth: Excuse me. Desk procedures. Chairs are for sitting on.
Rachel: I think he's a bit jealous he's not getting the view you're getting.
Gareth: Wrong: I've got the arse this side so I'd only wanna be sitting where he's sitting if you were wearing a skirt so I could look up... at it.
the
american office is better than the uk. jim sending faxes to dwight from future dwight is probably THE best thing i have ever seen on television.
