ahhh traditional Canadian comedy. If you want the audience to know something is funny, talk in a funny voice, wear a funny hat, periodically look at the camera and pull a face accompanied by a "boing-oing-oing" sound effect

nardwuar, he's cool for his crate digger knowledge and snoop seems to tolerate him, so that's alright
I wanna check out that 1930s weed songs album

gervais got too much fames and moneys. though how much of his shtick is the "character gervais" faux-arrogantly reacting to success is open to debate. the radio shows he did with steve merchant and karl pilkington were fucking hilarious but ricky always played the high status character, it doesn't endear him to me

I don’t mind Gervais, even if he is “too successful” for some people. He’s done some good comedy but it’s true that after Extras things weren’t as fresh anymore. He does seem like an annoying little man but like someone mentioned I wonder how much of that is an act. I can see how he can get up some people’s nose though. Kyle Pilkington is ace. Probably very professional all the while being extremely genuine. There’s this documentary he did where he visits so-called intellectuals. The bit with Will Self was great. I enjoyed his podcasts with gervais and merchant, and idiot abroad was funny but I’ve lost track now as he’s always on Sky (which I don’t have)

He’s actually rather good, and I don’t think he makes a funny voice on purpose. He’s a character for sure, but his homework is frightening!

Ha ha I didn’t know he’s also angered quite a few people! Even that nice guitarist from Blur (who later apologised and said he felt shamed of that interview).
