Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Troy B This is quite literally one of the funniest shows I have seen in my life. I have read all of the reviews and I have come to a conclusion, anyone who believes that "Rocky" Gervais isn't funny, but instead would sit down and indulge in a little "Modern Family" is best left silent. The conversations are inane, but that is what makes them hysterical. More over the friendship between the three of these guys is obvious, but this is what makes it fun. Honestly, if you prefer your comedy in the vain of the mass produced kind, by all means this won't be for you, but then it probably wasn't meant to be, was it? Awesomeness 10/10.

Ray P I've seen Rocky Gervias in a couple of movies as well as some stand up comedy and thought this might be entertaining...... I was so sadly disappointed! It has high ratings on IMDb like 8.7 and I take the scores on here as a guide to see things as well as people's reviews. Like any box you read at the video store it always has praise and two thumbs up that is not always true.I have only watched the 1st two episodes and it was really hard to keep my attention to see them to the end hoping for something better as it went further into it.... NOPE!The topics are bland as well as the discussions on the topics. Ricky Gervais laughs a lot.... forced I feel. The other 2 guys babble on just thinking of things to say or be outlandish in their ideas.This box set should not be something you have to buy, but rather just be able to download for your iPod or see on YouTube. Check it there before paying good money out.I'm sure this would be '10' if the following happened:1) If having trouble to sleep 2) Full belly laughter or makes sense if you were on drugsIf you truly want something funny to watch I would recommend 'Modern Family', 'Two and a Half Men' with Charlie Sheen.

a05102267 "The Ricky Gervais Show" is one of the funniest, most clever and brilliant show (Animated or not) that I had the chance to see. It is interesting to note how the original audio of this show turns even better as a cartoon, giving an extra appeal to the surrealistic stories that are told by the three comedians; Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington: The way in which the three interact is the main factor of humor, being by far the funniest segment the lecture of Karl Pilkington's diary. The animation is pretty good: The designs remind me a lot the classic cartoons made by Hannah Barbera, being simple, but very expressive at the same time. This is, by far, one of the best animated comedies of the recent years, and it feels like a breath of fresh air, after so many bad shows that try too hard to be like "The Simpsons" or more offensive than "South Park"

Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the advert for this animated pod-cast based show and thought it looked and would be relatively amusing, it turned out to be much funnier than I expected. Starring The Office and Extras star, writer and director Ricky Gervais; his co-writer and co-director Stephen Merchant; and their XFM radio producer friend Karl Pilkington. They have been getting together for a few years in a radio studio to have pointless conversations about particular subjects sent in by fans of the show and from hearing the news. These chats, or pod-casts, were recorded live, but the big hook of the show is that the three stars have been animated, almost in the style of Hanna Barbera, i.e. The Flintstones, with their conversations brought to life. Whatever subject they talk about, it is most often questions posed to Karl, and the hilarious comedy mostly comes from his long-winded and not always intelligent answers. Ricky and Stephen talk to each other a little too, but the best jokes come from them running off on Karl's daft comments about the subjects posed, and this is where the animation comes in handy. The show's only traditions on the programme is Monkey News, where a news article is explained (mostly by Karl), and it all comes down to the involvement of a monkey, and Ricky and Stephen also read through Karl's personal diary and spin off his unusual and weird written entries. Gervais has a fantastically infectious laugh, Merchant is a good back-up for Gervais's comedic comments towards Pilkington, and Pilkington is a lovable moron, all combined makes a brilliant comedy show, possibly one of the funniest ever to be on television that I have seen. Ricky Gervais was number 49 on The Comedians' Comedian, he was number 30 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, and he was number 18 on Britain's Favourite Comedian. Outstanding!
