Simon of Cyrene - what a wanker for helping Jesus with the cross! Jesus should have told him to get lost - the quicker he got up Calvary the quicker he would be nailed to the fucking cross and why would he want that? Fuck off Simon of Cyrene!

Apparently it really isn't although you do hear a bit of suspicious David Brent from him. If it is scripted Gervais is even more of a genius than I thought.Pappa wrote:I saw it last night, and it definitely seemed scripted to me.Animavore wrote:This guy has been in showbiz for a few years.

It's shite. My Dad recommended it to me, and I managed 5 minutes before removing the pointlessness from my retinas.

I don't care for it. I had a tiny smile once or twice, but that was from jokes I made to myself during it. > _ >

I like watching it - some of it I find mildly funny. I like the alternate view they try to show - like the detritus floating in the dead sea

My husband loves this program, he actually laughs so much that I've had to ban any notion of food and drink whilst he's watching it for fear he might choke. I can take it or leave it but I did enjoy The Ricky Gervais Show which Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant were also part of.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
Last night was classic - he had to walk up to that Machu Picchu place in Peru, which involved an eight hour trek up a mountain. Near the top they came across an ancient settlement, and he mused on how ridiculous it was that they had built "bungalows" after walking up millions of steps just to get to the fucking site. Would it not have hurt to build another storey?
