the bit at the start of this scene is the best where steve offers the muffin to ricky and he declines so he rings barry "Ba im having the muffin" as if they had both been waiting for this opportunity to come up. priceless comedy
Are sound operators commonly called sound blokes in the UK? In US it's just sound guy or sound man. One of my weird fixations is little differences between the same language spoken in different places. autism
When Shaun played Barry, I kind of got a shock at how funny, sharp and talented he is. Extras gave him a perfect platform. He needs to be on tv more. "Hello you" ffs! Genius delivery.
It's better than that. ANDY (Ricky Gervais) always calls him Shaun, but everyone else, including his OWN AGENT always call him Barry off of Eastenders.
Swine and pig aren't insults. That's horrible. Other animals aren't toys to dress up and pose for your amusement, or tools for you to use as you please. Leave other animals alone. Humans have a serious lack of empathy when it comes to other animals. They're not mindless machines. Their emotions aren't muted. Human ego is disgusting. Only animals of human-level intelligence are capable of evil. Humans aren't more special or important than other animals. Something isn't worse because it happens to humans. You're not better by definition. Fuck you. There are far too many animals in orphanages, many kill orphanages, some gas chamber orphanages, to justify breeding/buying from breeders. They're #NotProperty to be bought/sold. Adopt. They'll show you how full of love life is. Save their life, and they'll save yours. It's not euthanasia. It's not done for their benefit. It's murder. Imagine the outrage if humans who weren't being adopted were killed. It's no different for other animals. Other animals don't have "vets". They have doctors, and health and medical care. Just like humans. There's no distinction. There'd be outrage if different humans had different doctors and terms depending on their race. It's no different for other animals. That's speciesism. People spend money on war rather than helping other animals. Medical care should be socialised, like humans have. Caring for other animals isn't a chore, it's a duty and privilege. Other animals don't belong in the entertainment industry. Not only is it extremely stressful for them, and wild animals are abused until they submit to human will, but how dare you deprive them of their life. Elephants that do tricks and give rides aren't happy. They do it out of fear of what happens if they refuse. Swimming with dolphins isn't a good activity. It's extremely stressful for them, and leads to them catching diseases. They're viewed as tools for profit, nothing else. Other apes, monkeys, and horses used on cards aren't smiling because they're happy. Other apes and monkeys do what's called a "fear grimace", while horses smile in submission. They're not happy, they're abused. Freedom is what matters in life. You wouldn't trade freedom for comfort and safety, and you have no right to force that on other animals. Experimenting on other animals is vile. How dare you cause such immense suffering and murder. You're birthing them to torture them. What a miserable existence. That constant, unending torture is unimaginable for most people. Fireworks and other explosions are horrible. Other animals, like cats, dogs, and birds, get absolutely terrified by fireworks. Causing such intense, unending fear is unjustifiable.

Other animals have to walk on that floor, and right next to your rubbish. They don't want to do that. Don't be a selfish cunt. Balloons, Chinese lanterns, glitter, sequins, and microbeads don't decompose. They stay in the environment, and end up being swallowed by other animals. Having human-level intelligence doesn't somehow stop you being an animal. That makes no sense, whatsoever. It's specifically because you're an animal that you can have human-level intelligence. It is a trait of animals because an animal has it: humans. Everything we do is, by definition, animalistic, because we are animals. Everything humans do is by definition animalistic, because humans are animals. There's no distinction. Being an animal isn't an insult. It's awesome. It's what lets you be you. Intelligence doesn't make one animal more special than another. That's just a trait humans have. It's no better than running fast or jumping high. Evolution has no will. It's not trying to make other animals more human-like. A slug is as evolved as we are. A slug got it right. It doesn't make you inherently better at all, and saying that totally disregards how stupid and evil humans are. It's nonsensical. That's human ego. The second an alien race arrives that's more intelligent than we are, you people will move the goalposts for what it means to be more special. You say it not because it's true, but because it currently benefits you. You can't own another living thing. They're not consumer goods to be bought and sold. They're not property. They're above monetary value. They're not toys for your amusement, or tools for you to use as you please. There'd be outrage if humans were treated like property. It's no different for other animals. That's speciesism. We're not their owners, we're their parents. Pet isn't an insult. That's horrible. A pet is an animal of another species, in your family, that you care for. They're your children, and brothers, and sisters, and nieces, and nephews, and cousins, not some ornament to have around for novelty, that you only pay attention to when you're bored. Species is irrelevant to family. Joe Rogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Goldust, and Ted DiBiase Jr. are torturers and murderers. Fishing and other hunting is murder. Other animals' lives aren't your playthings. Leave other animals alone. You wouldn't do it to humans, so don't do it to other animals. It's that simple. No one has the right to make fun of, or hurt, or abuse, or exploit, or murder, any other animal, for any reason. Do what is right, not what is easy. Humans are animals, and no more special than any other creature. #AnimalCruelty #AnimalAbuse #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights #AdoptDontShop #OptToAdopt
The Boss Stage1 It's always relevant. Everything I said is true and should be said. I'm not saying it to appease or entertain you. It's not about you. Fuck you. It's about other animals. Hundreds of years ago, you’d have been in support of the slavery of black people and subjugation of women. Just as you'd oppose someone being racist, you should oppose speciesism. You support whatever the status quo is at the time of your life because of your ego. You think that simply because that’s what life is like when you’re alive that it’s how it should be. You're a nasty, selfish, egotistical, wilfuly ignorant, evil, speciesist twat. You hate being faced with the truth because it means you'd need to do something about it to keep up the facade that you're a good person, and you prefer to do what is easy, not what is right. How dare you act like what I said was out of place or untrue. Other animals are literally in constant suffering, abused, neglected, and murdered all day, every day, 24/7, and you act like a victim because you saw a comment? Fuck you. You're not the victim. Other animals are the victims. You know how awful you feel when you've got a headache or toothache all day, or you're too hot. Imagine having constant physical and mental pain, in the horrific conditions other animals are trapped in, all for human benefit, while you sit on your arse, living a life of luxury, and convenience, and excess. The only respite from their suffering is murder. You're not the victim. You don't do anything because it's easier for you to pretend like everything's hunky-dory, and aren't we all so friendly and kind all the time!, rather than facing the reality of the massive amount of abuse, exploitation, and murder caused by humans to other animals, all day, every day. It's wilful ignorance and cognitive dissonance. You ignore the truth because it's easier for you to lie about being a good person than actually be a good person, and you prefer to do what is easy, not what is right. If I ever said this in real life (which, no, I’m not afraid of. It’s not about me. Fuck me. It’s about other animals), you’d say I’m achieving nothing. There’s no scenario in which what I say would be accepted, because you’re not interested in accepting it, because it means you’d have to confront the evils of your life, but it’s easier to lie about being a good person than actually be a good person, and you prefer to do what is easy, not what is right. As I said, you’re wilfully ignorant. You’re never going to look up the truth. And then when it’s put right in front of you, you say “this isn’t the place!” which results in you just never seeing the truth, and other animals continuing to suffer with the reality of their situation never spoken of or opposed. The discriminators don’t get to define when their prejudices can be opposed.

Extras was already funny as hell with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant but adding Shaun Williamson to the mix just put everything over the top, these three together were just pure comedy gold. Loved these guys so much
Ricky’s laugh sounds like he’s the only one in the room who is privy to the joke, and it’s his solemn duty to inform the whole room as to the humor of the situation.
Then there's the "were you masturbating?" scene shot around that same desk - now THAT takes some repeating (somewhat appropriate username you have too, speaking of...)
Gone down an Extras outtake rabbit hole. I honestly don't know how they managed to get this programme complete given the number of hilarious, often intense, moments that required Ricky not to laugh 😂
Hilarious, these scenes... The first viewings of Office and Extras, esp. this scene, the ones with Chegwin, and 'Wizzard! You shall not pass!!!' I nearly fell off the sofa laughing. Comedy Genius.
At 0:17 when Ricky Gervais says "Hello.. Hello" he sounds exactly like my cat when occasionally her hungry meaow's makes me jump, because it almost sounds like a word! 😾🏆
I have so much respect for Shaun. He's a fucking legend, man. I had no idea Barry from Eastenders was such a funny guy. He should be in more shit. "Hello you"!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I imagine he is unbearable to work with. I know he's extremely annoying and has no concentration as Steve and Karl always complained about it and Ricky just goes out of his way to annoy people like some sort of school boy. He also corpses 10 times a scene; it would be infuriating to try and film anything with him. There's no way he'd get work as an actor if he weren't casting himself.
