Ricky Gervais
He makes me laugh, sometimes. But to listen to him talk about his comedy, you'd think he was the only funny man ever to have lived.

I just put one of my top tips up on Farcebonk:
"Adopt a really sarcastic tone of voice, and tell people exactly what you think of them. If they take offense, accuse them of having no sense of humour."

Which is all Gervaise does. He's a prick. The Office was great, but he's actually just a playground bully.

Also, this.

And he was the manager of Suede for a while.

And The Office was shite.

I never quite understood why..
...The Office was such a huge hit while Phoenix Nights, which had fewer pretensions, was on at more or less the same time, and was much funnier, kept in relative obscurity.

And also, why Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice (who wrote most of the funny bits, if Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere was anything to go by) remained mostly obscure jobbing actors rather than the TV/standup/fatarse behemoth that Peter Kay turned into.

The Office was crap.
Ricky Gervais makes me want to hurt people. And he's back on the telly, ripping off Little Britain, by the looks of it.

The Office was one weak joke, endlessly repeated
Gervais was funny on the 11 O'Clock Show years ago.
