Funny joke (Ricky Gervais)

See, I only saw Schindler's List because I rented it thinking it was a porn film.

Well, it was rated R16, black and white, German-sounding title - that's where all the best ones come from.

But what really got me was a quote from a reviewer on the back, it said, 'When you watch this film you'll need a box of tissues.'

He was talking rubbish. I used about two.

Well, there was a shower scene.

----

Does he do stand up comedy (or is this just some random quote)?

I beleive he has done one (or is it two now) stand up shows (using the term quite loosely if i recall correctly, it's not like he's done the usual "stand up circuit" that most comedians seem to do)

Yep. He relishes taboo subjects too. Gervais is cool... I hope there's another series of Extras.

If you wanna check out his stand up Ob, see both 'Animals' and 'Politics.'

I have most of his stuff - he's very funny. The one where he starts telling people about the Bible and the creation of thhe world is top notch.

he did it in the dark!

Animals is better than Politics IMO.

Gervais is cool - and Extras is pretty good I think.

Gervais = overrated and overexposed. That said, 'The Office' s1+s2 are great.

Peep Show = excellent.
