# although i love the series
I have to admit that apart from in 'the office',
i do find Ricky Gervais pretty annoying

# I've never watched it,
on the basis that I despite him for being a twat in real life, and I don't think he's acting in the series...

# I think he's
acting at being Steve Coogan in the series, when he's usually being Davidson.

# when he was on Room 101
he actually seemed to be quite a sweety, and he claimed his 11 o'clock show (shudder) character was just that, a character, he just foolishly used his real name (unlike Ali G)

# I have to disagree
Davidson is a talentless, racist cunt. And it makes me sick that the BBC take my TV licence money, and pay his wages with it. FOR BIG BREAK! Grrrrr

He is more like the bastard son of Alf Garnet.

# the thing
is that on his C4 show, Ricky 'ironically' told the same bigoted jokes as Davidson does. They're still the same jokes.

(I don't actually mind the office for what it's worth)

# good point
But thing is with Davidson, his audience are, generally speaking, racists and bigots themsleves. He knows this, he writes material aimed at them. Gervais says the jokes to get a "shock" laugh, as the audience he gets is very different.
