keltoi Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012csf6 anyone watching this? i've only seen a couple of episodes and found it painful to watch. warwick davis is just acting like a short david brent/ricky gervais clone. whatever shock value there is (which basically consists of the same joke flogged to death) quickly wears off leaving a bad carbon copy of the office with different names and characters (well actually a lot of the same characters). the chinless girl from this is england sucks and the big name actors over-egg everything. not impressed.

perunamuusi Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Ricki Gervais is the only person who could possibly enjoy it. It's a nice warm spongebath for his ego - laughing at how "brilliant" he is (through the midget gervais clone) without the undignified act of actually laughing at himself (not that that's something he's ever shied away from). Unfortunately there was nobody near him throughout production brave enough to tell him it was cringe inducing (not in a good way) drivel.

Guest Gary C Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 So everyone's finally realised that Gervais isn't funny, eh? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/70351-lifes-too-short/#findComment-1706269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Donkey Rhubarb Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 i find gervais funny. I listen to his podcasts with merchant n pilko quite regularly. I just dont find this series funny. he's obviously making a show that he finds funny himself. he's said in the past that he does a lot of stuff just for his pleasure and doesnt care if anyone else likes it. fair play to him i guess, just a shame theres not much to laugh about. i agree with the mini brent comment. noticed it from episode 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/70351-lifes-too-short/#findComment-1706343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I heard clips from the program on Radio 2 and was immediately turned away from it. Maybe it's trying to hard, I don't know? A thing is a mate, who I consider to have a good sense of humour, seems to like it. I can't be bothered to find out myself because it seems like a waste of time. Extras was as far as I'm willing to go.

awepittance Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 i like the concept of this show as a miniseries or one off special but so far it seems quite stretched out in comparison to his other shows. as a whole it seems like a concept made for Americans Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/70351-lifes-too-short/#findComment-1706503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 says the American pinko scum ( ) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/70351-lifes-too-short/#findComment-1706510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boo Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 the gervais impression thing put me off and i turned it off within minutes. i was told the liam neeson bit was hilarious. so i watched it for that but didn't find it that funny. somehow i don't really know who liam neeson is so him saying aids a lot.. i just didn't get it. having said that, i've continued watching it for some reason.

Guest Alex C Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah, it's utter dross. Shame really as I had high hopes for it. Rev. on the other hand has been fucking excellent, Tom Hollander is so good.
