There's something deeply unpleasant about Gervais

I don't think it's got anything to do with his reaction to his success
He used to be on the 11 O'Clock Show and I thought he was pretty unpleasant then, too.
Funny, but inexplicably unpleasant.

Ricky Gervais has never played a character in his life.
Either he can only play one character, or he hasn't at all. I believe the latter case.

The Office and Extras were brilliant.
But he's turned into a smug arsehole, something he's always prided himself on not being. Don't get me wrong, I'd be a massive flash cunt if I was in his position (I'm a shallow flash twat now for christ sake), but that doesn't mean I don't dislike his demeanour any less.

Man's a knob.
He has been funny but all his characters incorporate an element of being a self-important tosser and I strongly suspect this is because he's not pretending.
Then again I wasn't that interested in The Office and while Extras was funny as I recall, I don't remember him having much to do with the good bits. SO maybe I just don't 'get' him. I'm OK with this. I never 'got' Sienfeld either.
Alt: been to a couple, but not regularly. Richard Herring was good, STuart Lee was crap, more herracy. Rob Newman was excellent.

But he seems to be pretty successful at what he does.

The most recent was Kevin Bridges, who was a bit of his game. I usually find him quite funny, but not so much that night.

I have friends who are standup comics so to support them I've been to a few, but only open mic nights which are patchy at best.
I prefer wit to jokes and the horrible 'laddish' pissed-up heckling vibe I find excruciating.
Comments above re Gervais's limited 'range' being caused by him actually being that prick are spot on. I don't mind him that much but I don't think he's half as funny as he seems to think he is. Plus his accent grates enormously.

That never quite made it onto my 'to watch' list for two reasons.

2. N Fielding

I didn't see his latest effort
mainly because the 10 minutes or so of The Office I saw was the most excrutiatingly unfunny tepid cupfull of puppy jism that I have ever witnessed. Since then I have avoided anything and everything he has ever done, save for a fleeting snippet of him presenting some awards or other, where surprise-surfucking-surprise, he was an unfunny cunt.

The Office was genius
you needed to watch far more than 10 minutes to "get it"

Nonsense.
I thought it was quite good but Gervais' 'embarrassingly graceless but ultimately rather pathetic man you feel a little sympathy for' routine can be sussed in no more than five minutes.

She is up to her fucking big gob in trouble as a result of her mischief making. She'll have forgotten all about it by the time she gets her cumuppence though. It will be most lolarious.
In answer to your question - any cunt who knows which way to hold a fucking bat. Obviously I'd nominate myself, but my team need me this year.
I saw your FB post regarding Karren Brady. I think, that on balance, I probably would.

THANK YOU
I was pissed when I wrote it mind.
Do we promote Trott to opener, as he's been practically playing there for over a year? Or is he too valuable at 3? I'd stick KP in first myself.

Either would be a decent shout.
Maybe KP, as he's quite used to being back in the shed by lunch on day one anyway.
Seriously though the last test aside his form has been appalling, and I wouldn't have been surprised to see him getting the boot ages ago.

The problem with KP is also the best reason to keep him in the team
He thinks he can batter any bowler in the world to any part of any ground at any time he chooses, and has no concept of bedding in and maintaining his wicket. And he can. Sometimes.

I agree
however he does have some quite fundamental issues with his batting that he fails to address.
His declining test average cannot be ignored though.
