extras

[whitemouse75]

boring drudgery or comedy genius?











the brentmeister general returns in a different guise, and i think he is definately the man of the moment


that one with les dennis nearly made me $$$$$ myself

[Deutsch Wolf]

Saw it last night for the first time (had forgotten to watch it every other week, and cursed myself for doing so). Absolute genius. No question.

Sorry mate, can you mark this thread "OT", just so the sensitive souls on here don't think we've signed a new Spanish striker called Federico Extras. Cheers.

Leave it as it is, give 'em something else to moan about!


We'll get polls on "should you be banned for posting unmarked o/t threads" etc, you'll give them a new sense of purposesmileys/smiley2.gif

[whitemouse75]

no. i purposely never do that for 2 reasons.


1, most importantly, it $$$$$es of the webgeeks


2, at the top of the thread it says topic: extras


3,hover the mouse over it on the main screen for a second and all is clear!

[Bilston_Wolf]

I think last nights was the worse so far to be honest, i think its been
superb so far and the bit where Gervais and Kate winslet got caught out
was the best bit so far.

So is it a prog about prostitutes?

[whitemouse75]

kate winslett was class, last nite was the one with the golliwog? (i watched them all back to back after holiday on sky+) not the best but still funnier than max and paddy!

Extras is a quality programme, one of the few shos on TV that actually makes me laugh out loud, probably the only one, at the minute,actually!

Marmite I think, I had the same conversation with my mate the other night. I hate both and he loves both, how does that work?

Loved The Office, one of my favourite ever comedies! Why?

So you like Marmite then

[whitemouse75]

no i hate it. but i like the office.





you hate both, so i was just wondering if there was a "deeper" reason for it....http://d1309274.u29.jodoshared.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

Hey you posted that, maybe there's something you want to talk about?

[whitemouse75]

not round your place though.....

Good, I am sure you would be better off elsewhere.

[holloholloway]

The first series of the office is markedly better than the second. Extras is poor by comparison.

its not for comparison. its one bloke who stars in two totally different comedies

Boll*cks to both statements. The Officeseries one was a breath of fresh air to British comedy, and as such,is seenas intrinsically better than series two. Series two was more difficult to write, following the success of series one, and still got rave reviews. Therefore, in many ways, it's more superior, because it had more to live up to.


You can't compare The Office with Extras, they've been made in completely different contexts. It's like comparing Noel Gallagher's work with the Inspiral Carpets withhisOasis career.Edited by: Deutsch Wolf

See, I told you whitemouse. You've confused the poor mite. Clearly the thread title "extras", without the much required "OT", has distressed him. Shame on you.

[Guests]

distressed him. Shame on you.

Sorry love, I should have realised by your effeminate postings that you were a woman. Won't happen again. Carry on with your crusade.

Put the kettle on....i'm spitting feathers here love.

[jayeff17]

EXTRA'S is like the office it goes over the heads of most people
My missus dont like it but then she does like marmite
Wonder if Kate Winslet likes marmite I dont
I like Kate Winslet !!!!

[hampshire wolf]

I saw the first episode of Extras and thought it ok.... Can Gervais play anything different to Brent though????


He seems to me to have one character and that includes his stand up stuff or is this how he intends it to be?


Don't get me wrong i liked the office and laughed out loud as well but i struggle to watch the repeats of it and to be honest he is starting to get on my nerves....


p.s i'll watch next weeks extras, whens it on again?Edited by: hampshire wolf

[Penfold]

Saw it last night for the first time (had forgotten
to watch it every other week, and cursed myself for doing so). Absolute
genius. No question.



Same here, looks good but have missed the rest of them

[Jack Bauer]

Personally I don't rate Extras much, good in parts, but not a patch on the Office.


I think if Gervais had done it before The Office it would have sunk without trace.

[Salop Wolf]

extras is OK, i think it is definitely getter better as it goes on.


The office is the best comedy ever written, but i do remember the first few times i watched it I felt similarly as I do about extras now. definitely a grower. Gervias is very funny, but some people need a joke to jump out of the telly and smack them around the face (this is why they watch 'friends') and they cant decipher the irony in Gervais' comedy.

[Bankswolf II]

I didnt like the office too much but i do actully think Extras is a pretty funny show especally the episodes with kate winslet and Ross Kemp starring in them and the way they took the mick out of themselves was pretty good and this is from someone who also watches freinds.

[-MTW-]

Extras is quality


This weeks edition was superb.

[Black Suit]

I don't like either, I think that it is because I can't get passed the man himself,his arrogance. It's clever in it's reflectionof life, but not particularly funny to me.
