davieG Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 I thought it was pretty funny, the way gervais laughs at every single thing he says got on my nerves a bit though His laugh is so fake as well, can't make up my mind whether it's meant to be so obviously fake and an attempt at being funny or just poorly contrived.
davieG Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Stop being so bloody cynical Davie! you should know by now it's my middle name
Leicfox Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Am I the only one who finds this show about as funny as having your balls cheese grated by Joe Brand in a thong? Did I miss something? I enjoyed the 1st episode as it was something new, but it's starting to grate on me now, as it's beginning to all look staged and false.
Kent Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 I enjoyed the 1st episode as it was something new, but it's starting to grate on me now, as it's beginning to all look staged and false. I was the opposite really, watched the first one and thought it was staged and scripted etc however after I heard in an interview that what he experiences/visits are a genuine surprise to him it made it seem funnier really. There's nothing less funny than wondering if something is fake or not.
LCFC-ARAB Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 anybody got any links to them to watch online? well just the last one actually please!
broughtonblue Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 Its shown on Thursdays... Karl's words about Easter in the Mexico episode, what we do to celebrate in England.
The Doctor Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 really don't find this funny, absolute rubbish.
Messi Posted 18 October 2010 Posted 18 October 2010 I think this is amazing haha The first one and the one in Mexico were the best, had me in stitches all the way through
Messi Posted 21 October 2010 Posted 21 October 2010 "Normally on a Monday night I'd be tucking into a bit of leftover Lamb from Sunday roast. Not this Monday; bit of cock and bollock, along with some tongue for garnish"
grth2004 Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Congress Tart! Great ending to my favourite show of the year just hope they do make another series
Flynny Posted 12 November 2010 Posted 12 November 2010 If it ever seems contrived it's because it's heavily cut. They played him getting a voicemail message in the jungle in the Amazon episode - in this one he said he had no signal for 5 days. It's hours and hours of nonsensical rambling pared down to create a narrative. And it's brilliant. Though not a patch on the podcasts.
stix Posted 12 November 2010 Posted 12 November 2010 This is out on bluray next week i think. Missed a few of them so a definate purchase.

In the book that accompanies the series (available from all good book shops) it says in the amazon episode that he was passed the phone from his producer with pre recorded messages. I ain't bothered if Pilkington is playing a character and it's scripted, it makes me chuckle and and points cry with laughter and that for me is a winner! you are right though the original Guardian unlimited podcasts are still the original and best

The guides were very good because having a loose theme seemed to focus Karl's stupidity and forced Gervais to try to explain things to him more. I think my favourite few were the Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas set though.

Not listened to these podcasts, were they similar theme to the prog, what were they called and do you know if they are still available?
ramboacdc Posted 12 November 2010 Posted 12 November 2010 Not listened to these podcasts, were they similar theme to the prog, what were they called and do you know if they are still available? want me to get you a link to them mate? pm me
