Extras *and* pornstache!John Simm !

I've just discovered that Ricky Gervais is absolutely hilarious.

Why yes, I'm slow.

I mean judging by the soreness of my jaw and ribs after watching the first episode of Extras, I can say that I'm pretty responsive to his terribly mean humor.

He plays an extra that goes from set to set hoping for a big breakthrough. There's a famous guest star in each episode and the first one was Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller amazed me by his capacity at making fun of himself to such an extreme level. If all the guests are as good sport as he was, I'm going to watch it all in no time.

Oh and there's also Christina from Ugly Betty in it, and she's great too (the big shoe moment was dreadful in the best way XD) !

I saw the episodes list and I can't wait to see the ones with Daniel Radcliffe, Orlando Bloom, Bowie, McKellen, Jonathan Ross and of course, this year's series finale and christmas special, the one with David Tennant (which wasn't the reason I wanted to catch up like, at all. RIGHT.)


It made me rewatch the hilarious John Simm's guest stint on Meet Ricky Gervais which I'm pimping for those who might have missed it.

I still have teh giggles watching it.

Oooh if you liked the first one you are going to be hurting from laughter even more from the rest. I can't wait to hear your reaction haha. I watched them all this past summer and died with laughter :)

Oh, and that clip with the lovely Mr. Simm was hilarious too, thanks for sharing! Now I'm going to be sucked into ricky videos on youtube!

I'm up to 203 and I'm still laughing my ass off even if the vast majority of the jokes are truly horrible in what they make fun of (which, let's face it, is why it's funnier than your average comedy show). It's a brilliant show.

I'll try the Office UK next :)
