Do you find him funny?  I would say some do some don't, bit of a pointless thread.

Was, find him more annoying now.....

nearly as bad as these pointless threads that go up.... is there a competition at the minute for putting up the most threads?

Extras and the office were both brilliant

Along with that the XFM stuff and early podcasts were side splittingly funny.

Personally I think he's gone off the boil a bit the last series of Life's too Short wasn't great I thought and his movies are just OK. His last few appearances at the Golden Globes have been funny though it will be interesting to see clips of how last night went!

How about this. You give us an actual opinion (and not one you've plagiarized of another person on the net) so we can tell you if you are right or wrong...

Meh, sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't.
That was never a square ball!!

I think he is someone who thinks he is funny which I don't think find that enjoyable at times although no doubt he is funny, also slagging off Mel Gibson is an easy target so I dont think thats great comedy as anybody could do that.

Gervais and funny – words that go together like horse and submarine.

Ricky Gervais was hilarious in The Office. It was a ground-breaking series which poked fun at the world we all knew, in a way that wasn't done before.

Unfortunately for Ricky he turned out to be a one-trick pony. As long as he sticks to playing David Brent he can be funny, otherwise he can be dull.

Actor, tv/radio presenter, stand up comedian, script writer, producer,  musician, band manager, etc..... Obviously better at some than others.

Whether you like him or not; he's definitely not a one trick pony.

I think he means one trick in terms of the type of role he likes to play. David Brent was funny.
