		Ricky's projection of the egotistical Brent is an example of the bores we see everyday - bravo Ricky for upstanding the wankers in the workplace; bravo for showing the drones what they really look like.
		Ricky Gervais is not a genius, unfortunately we seem to be suffering from a misguided 'emperor's new clothes' situation.
		Ricky Gervais is by fat the funniest man i have ever seen, even though Extras was a little disappointing it would of been very hard to top The Office because it was just so amazingly brilliant.

	DVD Times - Ricky Gervais: Politics
		Whilst many comedians end up on television only after trawling the stand up circuit building themselves a reputation, Ricky Gervais ended up going straight to television, and it was only after The Office had drawn to a close he took to the stage with Animals; his first ever stand up comedy tour.
		Ricky sees Robin as his plaything, and says those times in between only exist so he doesn’t push Robin completely over the edge, and he waits for his next opportunity to do something that Robin will loathe.
		Robin Ince was Ricky’s support act for the entire tour — in fact having him alone to torture was one of the biggest reasons for Ricky doing the tour at all — but sadly his entire routine isn’t present here.
