Extras Thread

IMO Andy chatting with his old school mate was pretty much identical to Brent-Finchey converstaions in the Office. Definitely not as good as the first series, which was awesome

The point is it's not a pick up and go sitcom, it's something that grows on you with each episode. It's riddled with in jokes and specific character references and if you've not kept up then chances are you won't find it all that.

As a complete work however I think it's very very good

 

[clapham_gull]

I didn't find it that funny but it's watchable.

Anyway, not as big a fall from grace as "Saxondale" though.

That was shocking, and I can watch Alan Partridge time and time again.

 

[Simster]

Not that funny tonight. Agent with the whisk was the highlight.

 

[magoo]

It actually had me holding my sides tonight when he was trying to chat up that bird and then opened the bottle of sparkling water he was spinning...

Ian McKellen was quite funny. But on the whole Stephen Merchant has been funnier than Gervais in the series.

I am getting bored now of the awkward silences, atleast 3 or 4 every episode.

 

[Scoffers]

I thought it was excellent last night, me and the mrs were laughing out loud.

Can't stand these people having a pop at Ricky, if you dont like it, DONT WATCH IT

 

[bhaexpress]

Sorry but whilst humour varies from person to person (how can anybody find Bernard Manning funny ?) I thought tonight's episode was hilarious although the end was a bit weak.

 

[tinx]

So far I think all the episode have been excellent but agree Merchants character is the funniest without doubt.

 

[Dave the OAP]

un funny
opinionated
one trick pony



f*** off you fat ****

you really need to get over this habit you have of beating around the bush..

just come out and say what you mean. You will feel much better

Probably the worst episode of the series so far, I thought the week befores was the best. Still a fantastic comedy in my opinion, I don't think there is anything better comedy-wise at the moment.

 

[Rambo]

The bottle of water incident was classic.

 

[tinx]

I cracke dup when merchant pulled that whisk and a plastic bag out. hilarious.

Extras 6.7

for me (in a Mike Channon voice) the highlight of the 90 mins comedy last night was Mitchell & Webb's alcoholic in the corner shop sketch...

Mitchell and Webb was good last night, and that was indeed a very funny sketch.

Mind you, Mock the Week was also quality, especially the "lines you'd never hear in a Bond film":

"I see Q, that's ingenius. So not only is it a bomb, it's also a rucksack"

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Mind you, Mock the Week was also quality

agreed... the host is excellent - very witty - and the guests all chipped in well especially for the improv round... The James Bond stuff was good, as were "TV Programmes That Were Never Shown"... "Blind Date with Stevie Wonder"

 

[CHAPPERS]

Mock the Week is class.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Just seen this weeks Extras on BBC website.

Liked it. Especially liked the end of the play

 

[Dave the OAP]

I just watched it on BBC


Very good...some laugh out loud stuff:the dinner party

Actually I thought the play thing was very good....I am not sure if he is trying tio make a serious point, or just trying to play it for laughs.

Ian McKellans hand pushing him towards the Fran was very funny

 

[Trufflehound]

Thought Extras was a bit hit and miss last night, though the water bottle incident did cause a minor splurt...
