Summary: humor how it should be done
Comment: Enjoyed this product a lot. Ricky Gervais just has a way about him that makes me smile the whole time I'm watching it. The expressions of the actors are priceless. Stephen Merchant is excellent as the agent for Ricky's character. Can be difficult at times understanding the dialogue due to the accents but I guess that's what the rewind button is for. The guests they get for the episodes are great and look like they have a lot of fun having themselves skewered.

Summary: Rocky Gervais "Extras"
Comment: Ricky Gervais along with Stephen Merchant and Ashley Jesen make a memorable British comedic trio! And I do mean "memorable"....."Extras" is a hilarious series, especially when seen one after the other as on these discs. Kate Winslet, David Bowie, Ian McKellan, George Michael are among the cast of stars who highlight each episode with heretofore unforseen 'totally over the top' humor highly unexpected from them. This series is hysterical and well worth buying! Hours of enjoyment......the looks Gervais gets on his face, the comments.....priceless!! Highly, highly recommended!!

Summary: Gervais and Merchant do it again!
Comment: Artists are fortunate to have one great piece of work. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had that hit with "The Office."
Who would've guessed they could return with another two-season series that delivers great dark comedy. You will laugh. You will cringe. You'll often do both at the same time.
Gervais slips into the skin of another obnoxios and foul character, Andy Millman, but in no way repeats his portayal of motivational boss David Brent. The two characters do share one thing in common though. By the end of the two series, these irritating, ridiculous men are sad figures we pity.
I really liked the fact that the series tackled the serfdom of entertainment, where the stars are royalty and the extras are treated like slaves.

Summary: so not pc and so funny!
Comment: These shows had me on the floor laughing. Definitely not for the sqeamish as the humor can get pretty crass but Ricky Gervais has assembled such a sweetheart of a cast it's a can't miss!

Summary: Not Fawlty Towers
Comment: I found the show to be uncomfortably embarrassing, though I can completely understand why people would find it funny. It IS funny - in a way. Sometimes the accents were difficult to get through (and I'm a huge Python fan).
A lot of embarrassing social humor about working in film and tv.
