I like it when Ricky Gervais digs. I agree with all of his digs.

Is someone looking to have their garden dug free of charge?
Quote: Spagett @ January 24 2009, 2:18 PM GMTI was thinking more of his speech in Extras where he talks about them being modern day freak shows and that we should be ashamed for watching them.
He may argue that was his character saying that but I think it's fair to assume Andy Millman = Ricky Gervais.
I am still a fan of Gervais but I think sometimes he takes himself too seriously, talking about his "art" and that when referring to Extras.
He never called the Office art when he was making it.
Comedy is an art though. I think Extras was fantastic, especially the Christmas special. It was brilliant satire of celebrity culture. And if you take into account everything he does, including stuff like his blog and podcast, he's not taking himself seriously there (for the most part).
I think Gervais is just committed to putting out the best quality material possible.
