Absolute Genuis. The Office was one of the best written comedies in years. A lot of ppl seemed to relate to David Brent on several different levels and had experience of the type of boss he portrayed.

My only complaint is that he never comes to play a gig here though:mad:

The Office and Extras are great but any of his stand up I've seen has been terrible.

Lockstep · 21-05-2008 06:36PM

Comic Genius.

Genius, His speech in Big brother in the xmas special of Extras was absolute brilliant..........although Karl Pilkington is funnier without meaning it.

Kold · 21-05-2008 06:37PM

His standup is great but his shows suck.

Thrill · 21-05-2008 06:38PM

Irksome little tit for me.

kaimera · 21-05-2008 06:39PM

He's had some good moments and is clever, but I tend to agree these days. overexposure usually sets in.

Absolute Genius,

From The Office, to Extra's (My personal Fav!) And his stand up.... always has me in bits!! Pure brilliance!

Loopy · 21-05-2008 06:48PM

I think he's a legend. Loved the office, much better than extras imo

Defenestrate · 21-05-2008 07:03PM

The Office is a classic, Extras was great too although the last episode was a bit of an anti-climax.

See.. it's all very subjective! I thought the last episode of extras was superb!

In general anything he touches turns to comedy gold which means the "majority" of the TV watching population find him funny?
So if you don't.. You're wrong.. simple as!

/awaits the angry backlash

Deffo genius

George Michael fly tipping Annie Lennox's fridge freezer into Stuart Copeland's skip. Brilliant.
Radio show, stand up on the 11o'clock show, office, extras(personal fav.)and his stand up tours I found all of them funny,funny,funny.
And my daughter likes his Flanimal books. Unparralled genius.
Simpson episode?...Not good...so what?

aidan_walsh · 21-05-2008 07:20PM

When he's good he's good, when he's bad he is bowel implodingly painful.

thelordofcheese · 21-05-2008 07:22PM

Chronically unfunny.

the whole year inn · 21-05-2008 07:22PM

Davidius · 21-05-2008 07:23PM

From what I've seen he's terrible.

Can't stand him. Smurky wee git!

Peared · 21-05-2008 07:52PM

One of the few comedians who can have me in wheezy, tears streaming, pain in the chest fits of laughter.

The bottle of water scene in Extras. Genius.

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 21-05-2008 07:56PM

He's a brilliant comedian, but in interviews, just arrogant and irksome.
