There's something deeply unpleasant about Gervais
I can't quite put my finger on what.

I don't think it's got anything to do with his reaction to his success
He used to be on the 11 O'Clock Show and I thought he was pretty unpleasant then, too.
Funny, but inexplicably unpleasant.

Not someone I'd happily leave my kids with.

Ricky Gervais has never played a character in his life.
Either he can only play one character, or he hasn't at all. I believe the latter case.

Fair enough, but I think it is more an exaggeration of his personality
A bit like some people on here.

True.
Even so, it makes it hard to believe he's a genuinely pleasant man IRL.
