That bastard has sucked another ten bucks out of me.

Mark my words, people–he’s going for another twenty before the year runs out.

Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest men on this planet right now and he doesn’t even try. You can say that Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are funny–but they have to work at it; they have to prepare material or even arrange circumstance.

Ricky Gervais, on the other hand, is an organic comedian and he turns mundanity into pure brilliance.

Of course, he doesn’t do it alone because Stephen Merchant is his cohort in comedic crime and is a comic genius in his own right.

And don’t get me started on Karl Pilkington.

For those that don’t know who Ricky Gervais is–he and Steven Merchant created The Office and scored a triple touchdown and made comedy legend in only fourteen episodes of some of the most brilliant work ever put on television (and this was long before the American version of The Office hit NBC).

I checked out the first season of The Office from the library, thinking I’d watch a couple episodes and send it back. But something happened–Ricky Gervais stuck his farging claws in my brain and hasn’t let go since.

I ended up buying the entire series on DVD. And now he’s back with his own podcast. I have always refused to pay for a podcast–until now. That bastard gave 12 free episodes away and got me hooked. I’ve listened to each of them at least three times and highly recommend you checking them out as well.

This man is a genius and it pisses me off because it’s costing me money.
