Thank you Portal for leading me to the comedic genius that is Stephen Merchant.Unbeknownst to me, I later found out he was in one of my favorite movies, Hot Fuzz.
Wow this guy has a great voice! He should be a voice actor. Just seems to be at the core of his personality, feels like it would fit well into puzzle game about robots and experimenting
Hello Ladies is just as good as Derek, not to compare the two but Steve deserves more credit for his acting and writing, top bloke he welded the classic trio together in the old XFM days to, full respect for the chap.
lol Totally agree with Stephen here! It's not just with relationships though imo. I'd love to be in the Middle Ages because it was just that much easier to have a job. No interviews, no resumes, no red tape, no paperwork, no nothing. Just "you have two working hands? you're hired".
You guys should check out the Ricky Gervais show and An Idiot Abroad for some quality Stephen Merchant, at times he upstages Ricky, yet Stephen has always said he is happy with Ricky getting the attention.
lachie543 I think Ad Astra is partly right, Steve and Ricky had smaller roles in Abroad. I just forgot the name of the previous show, the animated one where people saw Karl for the first time being interrogated by Steve and Ricky. Still forget the name, but it's the two of them trying to figure out what makes the idiot savant Karl Pilkington tick :D
Rob Fraser Yeah The Ricky Gervais Show is amazing. be it the HBO animated or the original podcasts. Also might wanna check out Extras. Imo Gervais and Merchants best show. I don't believe it ever aired in US. It was the next series they did after Office.
I feel so bad for Stephen :( If i was dating him I'd treat him like he is the only man that matters, I know people love him cos he's funny, very very charming and incredibly handsome, don't get me wrong he is but I LOVE him as a person he's kind of a nerd and that to me is seriously HOT :P hope you find your girl of your dreams :)
I'm going to go ahead keep this in my file of reasons I hate dating and will likely never have a significant other. "There's too much now." Complete with head crushing gesture. YES.
Honestly I agree with this guy. I know it may sound biased but as a man, I find it much harder to find a good woman to start a relationship with. Women don't have the pressure of trying to get a man to say yes, asking them out, paying for the meals, the activities, night events while trying to say and do the right things just so she will give you a chance and all the while she's looking for something better to trade up with. I do wish women themselves could go through what it feels like to be an average guy trying just to get noticed by females today.
I always make it clear I won't pay for them because it's ridiculously unfair otherwise. If they don't like that then they can piss off but I've never had a problem. Agree with the rest of it though.
Thankyou. I am a woman, yes, but I agree with you completely. I would prefer to split the bill over being paid for. Okay, maybe once or twice it would be nice for him to treat me, but in saying that I would also do the same, maybe for a birthday/special occasion. I don't think what you are asking for is too high a price. You seem like a pretty decent guy from what you are saying. I completely understand.
I agree with you in some things. But some times the average man is looking for a really good looking girl not the average girl that is nice. So dont know
Some women have the pressure of having to meet expectations - not that I'm trying to trump your point or anything, I completely agree with it. I've known female acquaintances (can't bear to call them friends) who have entered relationships with perfectly nice guys, not for love, but for the lifestyle they can afford them. Dating is a god damn minefield. Blind dates should be punishable by flogging. The guy always worries that she'll be fat or ugly. The girl worries she'll end up wrapped in tarpaulin in a ditch. The internet doesn't widen the field of choice, it just makes it harder to find the right one. *also has a mad crush on Steve Merchant...
That's the line of logic I'm guessing. That being said Portal is an amazing series and he did an amazing job with the character, it was his personality that won Portal 2 the video game character of the year award. But yeah it's shocking how many people only know him from that.
I was playing Portal 2, and it bothered me so much because the voice of Wheatley from the game sounds so familiar. Turns out it was voiced by Stephen Merchant.
I love Ricky Gervais, but Steve Merchant is so under rated
He isn't underrated at all, I think people view him well
Underrated in what regard? He's a pretty good writer, he isn't funny and looks like a diaper
He’s by far the Wittiest, and his sort of off-the-cuff quick lines are gold. So I guess it just depends on your preferred comedy style
He's not underrated. Try harder.
Why even mention Ricky then...
He's just funny by himself. Conan didn't even have to say a word.
+gbomify Thanks, I do have a good sense of humor.
I don't think Conan is very funny. I like him and his show but he rarely makes me laugh. I love Steve though.
whenever him and ricky gervais get together with karl pilkington is the definition of absolute gold
Thank you Portal for leading me to the comedic genius that is Stephen Merchant.Unbeknownst to me, I later found out he was in one of my favorite movies, Hot Fuzz.
I had no idea he was P.I. Staker! That's very cool :D
Heh
OMG I've only realised that now ! He is the swan guy !
"White, long neck, wings. A swan, basically."
yep im here from portal
Two giants have a conversation.
in front of the little people
He doesn't seem like a moron at all.
SparklyFeces yep and it's ironic cause he's character he voices in a video game is a moron
He is NOT. A. MORON!!!!!! ;)
Butters Stotch LOL
SparklyFaces your profile picture is majestic
Except he was not in Portal. HE'S NOT WHEATLEY.
I love Stephen SO much. Cute, funny, kind, tall... I don´t need more.
Him, Ricky and Karl I could watch all day.
All freakin' day. Karl just kills it!
They need to return to radio.
jim jimjim Or do another season of Derek.
I think they might, when they get on and want to slow down a bit, radio will be their natural calling.
Play a record.
Wow this guy has a great voice! He should be a voice actor. Just seems to be at the core of his personality, feels like it would fit well into puzzle game about robots and experimenting
Karl derailed his voice acting career by deleting that voicemail...
Check out best of Wheatley in portal 2

I find him adorable! His show Hello Ladies is excellent! The guy is a comic genius!
It is great :) I love Ricky, Steve and Karl.
brigadierburnsauce Agreed!
Conan should get Karl into the show... and put him together with the interview with Jordan Schlansky.
Arshad Nazran YES! That would be brilliant!!!
I'm glad to see you found your exclamation mark key!
I really want to hug Stephen Merchant, He's so adorkable~
same here
Me three.
@@sansational15 wheatley wants to hug wheatley? Interesting
@@rachelnorton8819 Nope I'm just a Wheatley fangirl
@@sansational15 But it would be adorable seen Stephen hug Wheatley tho!
British Conan meet American Stephen
can someone just animate Wheatley over his face
Boone Keller honestly tho
i wish we all do but just think of a animation in your head
yessss!!!
American dad has😂
What a good idea!
Office, Extras, Portal, Idiot Abroad, Ricky Gervais Show.
This man is apart of everything good in this world.
6'7 oh my god
Sucks when it comes to clothes, oh and cars, well everything really.
MarCuseusFX Well its pretty cool to be honest. But most of the time it really doesn't mean anything :P

He’s so cute and witty, I’d date him! 😬
I am not a moron!
YES
NO
ImATrash ForALotOfShows yesh u arez
COULD A MORON DO THIS?!?
yesss
you can judge the quality of a guest by how much they make conan genuinly laugh
Watch Flula's interview about taking Conan to Germany. :) I've never seen someone make him laugh so much.
6"7, wow the dude is tall! lol
What he said about too much choices dating nowadays and how everything takes months is so true
I just imagine Wheatley sitting where he is sitting...
2:14 Stephen is such a good storyteller and director
This guy is AMAZING! He's the voice for WHEATLEY the best CORE.
I like that guy and he's the voice of my favorite character Wheatley From Portal 2
you dont say
Your profile pic is Wheatley...
I would love to see a talk show with Stephen Merchant :)
Stephen Merchant voicing Wheatley is probably the only reason half of these people watched this video.
He’s just so charming and adorable, ugh
Hello Ladies is hilarious, I recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it yet.
yep. do yourself a favour and watch it
Howcome you have my logo,or maybe I,yours ?
Omg the cringe humor is so difficult to watch at times, but I love it so much i never stop laughing 💀
Stephen Merchant is Bae
I'm really amazed Stephen doesn't have someone.
Someone should goddamn get on that.
BLACKIESBOY Ill get on that.
I close my eyes and I see Wheatley talking. Then I open them and it's Stephen.
I really feel what he's saying here. Dating is such a mess right now.
let's be real...there's tons of women who would snatch up Stephen. I'm one of them. lol.
Nicholas CHRYSSAFIS stfu

Well how about now? Could a moron punch you into this pit? Huh? Could a moron do that?!
Just close your eyes.
Close your eyes and listen to Wheatley try to get into nightclubs and long for the Middle Ages.
And cry.
The first time I saw Steph I had to double take. It was like a cartoon but now I'm used to it. He is my cheeky freak of the week for life.
"Lanky Goggle Eyed Freak." / "Like a bit of weird art"...
Hahaha, the phrases Ricky Gervais uses to describe his best mate :D Great comedy partnership.
Frankensteins albino gonk ...
"Sit perfectly still, only I may romance"
Thanks Wheatley.
When he started talking I was like "OMG it's wheatley!"
He did a good job on The Big Bang Theory.
All i hear is Wheatley
yes!
ok
Me to XD
I AM NOT A MORON
I don't have any idea why but hearing the voice from my favorite character out there talk about dating apps
Omg he needs to do something like that.
lol Totally agree with Stephen here! It's not just with relationships though imo. I'd love to be in the Middle Ages because it was just that much easier to have a job. No interviews, no resumes, no red tape, no paperwork, no nothing. Just "you have two working hands? you're hired".

send him a message. he might STILL be available.
@@SonicRyan1992 Not if I message him first. ;)
Very Unoriginal Username Lol he’s still single? Thought he was married.
When watching stuff like this, I just like to close my eyes and pretend they're interviewing Wheatley
I feel like I should make a clever pun but I can't think of one.
Jacob Trejo S A M E
Me too!!!
I do that too. I just imagine Wheatley.
If they ever make a live action Nightmare Before Christmas movie...Stephen Merchant as Jack Skellington.
I love Stephen. His new HBO show is hilarious.
Glad to see the guy who voiced Wheatley from Portal 2 getting popular. He deserves it.
hahaha Stephen Merchant is brilliant
Wheatley a a talk show.
*Someone animate this*
When I need to explain to my American friends what a "West Country" accent sounds like, I tell them to listen to Stephen Merchant.
Or a pirate!
"Hello Ladies" had a hilarious pilot. I'll stick around for Merchant.
this man is awesome
Wheatley talking with Facts Core :P
I funking love this man, Whealtey is all i hear oml
I'm going to go ahead keep this in my file of reasons I hate dating and will likely never have a significant other.
"There's too much now." Complete with head crushing gesture. YES.
Stephen
I have to agree with him on that! he is so funny and smart 😂
They actually did this the last time Stephen appeared on Conan
1:17 he said that exact same line in a 2023 episode of The Outlaws 😂
i really want his voice cause his voice is so charming
Oh Wheatley your sense of humor is still dark :)) Love it
He has a point there. Times were simpler back then..None of todays conveniences and sillyness. I'd say we have it worse nowadays
Omg. Wheatley, my Man! I miss you! lol All you can hear is HIM. Especially if you close your eyes. :)
People say Steve Merchant is underrated, but given his length, that's quite an accomplishment.
"glamour not tech support" EPIC
When you are looking in the comments and don´t look at the video you will see Wheatley xD
God bless this man. I too wish dating was as simple as in medieval times.
Wheatley : Go to an Interview
I knew waking up at 5:35AM would be worth it!
Stephen Merchant is great to watch on these talk shows - so funny.
Merchant gets FLUSHED.
I love stephen merchant and his voice is amazing
Lol he is so funny, his voice is AWESOME! Loved him as Wheatley from portal 2. :D
I can't imagine Wheatley not getting into a club...

Wheatley!!!
JPlays Is that some sort of cereal?
MrFallout3man Wheatley is a character in the game Portal 2. Stephen is his voice.
JPlays He plays a box of cereal?
+aFlatTire Pretty sure
yessss
Best robot ever!!! (If you are stupid I mean Wheatley!)
when Conan talks to tall actors they always have so much to talk about
Used to think he was insane for wanting this. 5 years later and still never had a Girlfriend. Someone bring me a Time Machine.
the voice from wheatley, hehe
I didn't realize how popular/successful he was until I looked him up. He's fucking hilarious.
I clicked and Conan is laughing too.
He's English. From Bristol in the West Country. Located along the Bristol Channel (the channel which separates England and Wales.
He should go up to the bouncer and be like "I'm here to fix the _______" They would let him in every time xD
I love all the portal comments xd
The original British one. He also played Oggie 'The Oggmonster' in one episode
NAILED IT.. lol
That's the line of logic I'm guessing.
That being said Portal is an amazing series and he did an amazing job with the character, it was his personality that won Portal 2 the video game character of the year award. But yeah it's shocking how many people only know him from that.
That doorman probably does a tight five waiting outside the Improv.
He was popular before Portal. He got the job in Portal BECAUSE he was popular already. He was the co-creator of The Office.
I was playing Portal 2, and it bothered me so much because the voice of Wheatley from the game sounds so familiar. Turns out it was voiced by Stephen Merchant.
"Apple, say apple."

You know what? Tha-that's close enough.
