Life's too short

[????]

...am I the only person loving this?

[Mick Mac]

Saw one episode and it was brilliant.

It's a bit shortist though. So I won't watch it again. Ever.

[Brendan]

It could do with being a bit longer.

[El Pibe]

It was a bit of a slow starter but has really hit it's stride. Last night's was fantastic (the door steps was genius), toe-curling belly laughs aplenty.

If Ricky Gervais was chocolate he would eat himself, starting with little Ricky

[bon3yard]

Yeah, I've found it pretty amusing. Its the same old same old with Gervais...but it still makes me laugh. Enjoying Phoneshop, Pete V Life and Him & Her at the moment. Theres some good comedy being made out there and its always nice to sit down in front of the Humax and realise you've got a good couple of hours of laughs to look forward to.

[????]

..I even think Rev has its moments

[El Pibe]

Phoneshop is great, can't warm to Him & Her though.

Does Mongrels go without saying these days?

Haven't laughed as hard for anything as that Scott Mills scene a couple of episodes ago.

[ratty]

I loved the first few, esp the Liam Neeson scene, then it went a little flat. Gonna watch last nights later this evening as I was "ahem" playing Dance Central all last night!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I watched all but the last two episodes of 'Short - I was getting a bit bored with it. But if it's improved, I'll try again. Love Rev, but thought the first series was better.

Am I allowed to admit to loving Alphas and Death in Paradise?

[Loz]

Pete vs Life must have improved immensely since the first series. That was dire.

The Office was always going to be an hard act to follow. Extras wasn't half as good. Life's Too Short isn't half as good as Extras. The best thing Ricky Gervais has done since the Office has been his stand-up...oh, and his guest appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

[Drxyster]

Was it Johnny Depp who said to Ricky Gervais, Why do people take an instant dislike to you, no reply from Gervais,answer it saves time,precious.

i thought his stand up was boring too

the office and some of the earlier podcasts are the only decent things he's done in my opinion. I just don't think he's a funny person at all.

[PeckhamRose]

It's bizarre. When Extras was on it was a Huge Deal that De Niro appeared, but now it's no surprise when someone comes on. I thought Helena Bonham Carter was fabulous (in anything she does), but when Ricky Gervais writes jokes against himself that a lot of people are thinking but then they come out of the beautifully shaped mouth of Johnny Depp, you still think, genius.

Life's Too Short for me is getting boring because Warwick Davis is just playing a short Gervais. The lines are the same, the reactions, the cut-ins and interruptions etc.

[Salsaboy]

Anything to do with gervais leaves me cold, the smug faced fat bastard.

[Friends of Goodrich]

Can't stand Ricky Gervais, but if he writes funny stuff I'll laugh - just prefer he was not in it himeslf tbh.

[Mick Mac]

Whoops, wrong log in....

What a great way to blame someone else!

[edcam]

Ricky Gervais is an unfunny twat.

[maxxi]

The Comedy of Embarrassment is coming to an end I think. The Office started it and Warwick D's impression of David Brent could finish it. There are still laugh-out-loud moments (Les Denis and Cheggers playing blinders) but I ff through a lot of it, trouble is the actual situations/circs (what is going to happen) become so very predictable.

and PGC - Death In Paradise?!? did someone hit you on the head with a rolled up copy of the 1974 TV Tinmes?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Probably. It makes me chuckle. And the scenery is gorgeous, as is Fidel.

[reggie]

loved the first two episodes then fell badly after that with the same joke again and again

can hardly watch it now.

[Jeremy]

Cringe comedy started with The Office? How about Fawlty Towers or Alan Partridge?

[Jah Lush]

Indeed Jeremy. But the difference for me is that Fawlty Towers and Alan Partridge would have you laughing out loud whereas Ricky Gervais just makes you cringe. I quite enjoyed the first two but then it fell away and was usual Gervais fare. He has the sort of smug face that you want to punch. (see also Piers Moron). I did however enjoy Extras. The one with David Bowie in was a corker.
