Ricky Gervais has never been funny as is a po' man's George Carlin that comes off as a retarded Bill Hicks. Dave Chappelle never was funny to begin with, and now he's worse. He always wanted to be Dick Gregory with the smoking on stage and comes off like a very bad Slappy White after school special.

I loved The Office, and pretty much all of the Karl Pilkington stuff, a lot of that was genuinely funny. And, the Gay Animals standup show was pretty funny at times. But yea, nah. This shit is, well, it's just shit init. I have a fairly sick sense of humour at the best of times, but this just isn't funny. Fuck knows what is going on in his mind.

Yeah - I think Gervais/Merchant was the great writing team - it’s telling they aren’t really working together anymore

Ricky Gervais is an annoying little man who deserves to be ignored - his work is truly awful & boring!

Yes, it’s always a gamble even writing something like what I put here - am still giving it oxygen when maybe it’s best to not. I totally agree with you.
