Gervais - at it again Page 6

Woah!!

Why are people THIS sensitive about Ricky Gervais?

I dunno! It's odd.

I do go a bit mentalist trying to compensate for all the nasty buggers, I know. But I don't know what sets said buggers off...

I couldnt give a f**k about gervais, it's the whining insulting smarmy wankfest that is BIG AAAA that , should take a harsh look at itself .

Ricky Gervais is an actual person, not a role in a film.

For the nth time: he puts on an act as a person too.

There is a finite number of nice people, and talented people in the world.

If Ricky is one of the talented people who aren't so nice good for him.

The British press have been horrible to him for a long time.

All that crap about him corpsing at the Diana gig (yes it happens to big comics to)

So what ? Doesn't stop 11 o'clock, Extras, and The Office being some of the few bright sparks in the last few years TV comedy.

And Extras is funny, and is clever, and that includes most of season 2.

ME:
Wow, so, you're God.

GOD:
Yep.

ME:
Wow. So...you created everything? The world, the universe...everything?

GOD:
Yeah. Great aren't I? I sometimes can't believe how great I am.

ME:
Hold on...isn't Pride a sin?

GOD:
Yeah, but I wrote the commandments so they don't apply to me. They couldn't, could they? I'm God. Christianity is the world's biggest religion. 2.1 billion members. You can't argue with those sorts of viewing figures. World's best-selling book? The Bible. Makes Harry Potter look like the Sinclair C5 Owner's Manual. I'm allowed a little earned-arrogance aren't I?

ME:
I...can't tell whether you're joking or not.

GOD SHRUGS AND WINKS.

Laughing out loud

You just need a big hug. Aw.

Calm. Calm. :)

Is Aaron Ricky Gervais?

Quote: Aaron @ February 11, 2008, 3:05 PM

I really hope that that was just badly phrased.

Oops, that didn't make sense...I know what I meant though Aaron, so it must've just been badly phrased :)

Has anybody noticed that persona has one more letter than person?

I'm not too keen on the Gervais persona myself - it's getting a bit tired and irritating, hence threads like this - but I can't pretend to know him as a person. And as a creator of comedy, he doesn't owe me anything. Thanks, Ricky.*

*and collaborators, before the "it-wasn't-just-him-and-I don't-believe-he-did-any-funny- bits" people come out to play. :)

There's clue in the title of this thread.

Regarding oversenistivity, I assumed he meant you! And all the other apologists who can't wait to say that RG isn't a boastful twat, he's just pretending to be a boastful twat for comic effect - all though why this is desirable I don't know.

None of this has anything to do with his writing. Why people can't accept that RG is a good writer/performer, but an arrogant supercilious prat in reality i don't know.

Because some people disagree with you. Astounding though that concept seems to be.

So did I. That's why I said what I did...
But I believe it's quite clear he meant both of us.

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair; oh wouldn't it be luv-er-ly?

F**k me - 6 pages in less than a day.

I really can't be arsed to read it all but just accept the fact.

Genius is a Gervais.

Who's 'he'? Do you mean me? I'm confused.
