Synopsis

The Ricky Gervais Show is an American cartoon series produced for and broadcast by HBO and Channel 4. The series is an animated version of the popular British audio podcasts and audiobooks of the same name, which feature Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, along with colleague and friend Karl Pilkington, talking about various subjects behind the microphone. The TV show consists of past audio recordings of these unscripted "pointless conversations," with animation drawn in a style similar to classic era Hanna-Barbera cartoons, presenting jokes and situations in a literal context. The animated Ricky Gervais Show has aired 39 episodes across three seasons since it premiered in 2010. There were some plans for a possible fourth season which would have used newly recorded audio, but this was shelved in June 2012. Series 3 of The Ricky Gervais Show premiered on 20 April 2012 on HBO, and on 8 May 2012 on E4.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
lyndalu-45740 This show had me laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face. I'd go so far as to say this is probably the funniest show I've ever seen, even funnier than Seinfeld, I Love Lucy and Sunny in Philadelphia. This show was made from a podcast but then they added the animation which makes it way funnier. I watch it over and over, makes me laugh every time.
richard-cattell If you're a fan of friends , how I met your mother , Big Bang theory and the like , this may not be for you , if , however , you like your comedy a bit more cerebral and can find humour in the ways of life , especially if you grew up In England in the 70s and 80s you will love this , three friends having a chat , but it's way more than that , these guys have accompanied me almost daily for the last ten years , their ramblings about all sorts of things are truly captivating, if you have a Sense of humour you can't fail to laugh as karl tries to get to grips with the world , sayings , quotes and the whole spectrum of life , again if you like brainless TV sitcoms based around someone popping their head round a door and muttering a completely unfunny line followed by hilarious laughter , look elsewhere you round headed buffoons
johnshay1017 This show is brilliant. It is funny. The fact that one of the reviewers on here downed this show and then, in all seriousness, recommended that you go watch "two and a half men" for good comedy should tell you all that you need to know about that reviewer's tastes. It's not about whether you find Ricky Gervais funny. It's all about Karl. I would say, if you have above average intelligence you will find this funny. If you have below average intelligence, then by all means go watch some of that comedy genius, Charlie Sheen. Watch this show. You will love it. And if you don't, well, there is something wrong with you.
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!
