Tears in my bloody eyes. This is why Gervais and Merchant end up with such incredibly funny scenes - because they genuinely find these interactions almost too funny to film.
The thing I love about Ricky is that it doesn't matter how big a name he's filming with, he turns them into an unprofessional corpser as well. Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, serious thespian actors and he has them laughing their balls off.
JacksInn It’s like a realistic superpower film. I think the contrast between the extremes of the superpower and the male desire to see women naked, and the female desire to be seen naked by extraordinary men, will be so stark and rally bring out what it is to be human, really. No utopian view of saving the world but merely serving his petty animalistic desires which are born from the desire to procreate. Which is actually saving the world from a human perspective. If human inhabitants were wiped out, what happens to the world? With no self conscious intelligence life, does the world have any meaning. And men getting so excited about stealing a glance at a beautiful women naked shows the depth of this need to procreate. Genius really.
I don't think a lump of granite would have been able to sit opposite Patrick Stewart in that scene and not burst out laughing. I've got no idea how Ricky ever got that scene done.
when they are trying to collect themselves it reminds me of getting in trouble in school with my friends and trying not to laugh when the teacher is goin nuts at us hahahahaha uncontrollable laughter
ever tried it in a situation where laughing is downright evil :D? like with a handicapped or something like ... where you not at all wanted to? ´orrible
Just seeing Stephen Merchant sitting behind that desk in a really low chair totally did for me.....totally killed me...and all he was doing was sitting in a chair. The funniest 25 minutes ever....there is no way I could remain serious opposite Merchant.
All those professional actors were cracking up. Ricky's laugh made it even more funny. There is no way you can keep composure watching them trying. Just great. Even though this costs them money for all those takes, this is just worth it to me. What joy!
Whenever Ricky sits on the chair in the scene with Steve I find it funny, the air shoots out when he sits down and makes a noise at the perfect moment everytime. I just think it makes it even more funny.
Bobby Clevo I think his film has the potential for Star Trek levels of greatness. It’s so real and integral to the male experience. Also females who are very attractive are subconsciously positive about men seeing their bodies exposed in a positive way. So it caters to both male and female.Transgenders and asexuals will get something. Especially from the deep human connection that breaking boundaries about nudity, in this case as it could be any social boundary, brings to the understanding of why we have these boundaries and how they are maintained and accepted. I can’t believe they didn’t make it. Yeah sure it’s made out to be a silly idea here for the comedic value, but it has real potential as a stand alone project. It’s like a realistic superpower film.

“Stripped to the waist” That line is funny itself, but Ross Kemp’s eyebrows make it hilarious haha. He was great in that episode. I love the outtake of him saying “I ‘ead-butted an ‘orse once”, while dressed like Napoleon: it’s the casual way he says it- as if head-butting a horse is normal. The writing and acting on this show was superb: Ricky and Steve really did a great job- both in terms of their writing, and picking the perfect guest stars. They got great performances out of a lot of people, who you wouldn’t have expected to be any good at this sort of thing: playing yourself/a twisted version of yourself, isn’t as one might think.
The fact on extras that they were able to get such famous and professional actors to break down like that is just amazing😂 Just shows how amazing Ricky and Stephen are at writing
@@TheBestFilmOneLiners shame he couldn't stick with his claim of "quality over quantity" because Derek and After Life had neither. Just goes to show how much Stephen Merchant brought to the table.
Ricky does so many different takes of just one scene and all of them equally hilarious. But only one of them makes it to the actual show. That's amazing. For example, his gay acting at 07:36. He does so many variations of his expressions for every take.
Thank everything good people like this still exist. People with a sense of humor who put their heads down and make people laugh on a bigger platform, but make their co-workers do the same during the process. Anyone who doesn't like this guy has something uncomfortable penetrating their out-hole.
