Mick Mac Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Saw one episode and it was brilliant. It's a bit shortist though. So I won't watch it again. Ever.

El Pibe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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.

bon3yard Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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.

El Pibe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Pete vs Life must have improved immensely since the first series. That was dire. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
camberwell70 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 just don't think he's a funny person at all. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends of Goodrich Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Can't stand Ricky Gervais, but if he writes funny stuff I'll laugh - just prefer he was not in it himeslf tbh.

maxxi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Probably. It makes me chuckle. And the scenery is gorgeous, as is Fidel. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Cringe comedy started with The Office? How about Fawlty Towers or Alan Partridge? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21005-lifes-too-short/#findComment-508862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
