You have got to see this.

Listen. You all remember the British version of The Office, correct? Do you remember the seething hatred you felt for boss David Brent, played by Ricky Gervais? Well I didn't think I would be able to stand this man ever again. But just last night, I discovered a little gem that completely changed my mind.

Extras. Have you seen it? It's definitely the funniest piece of British comedy I've seen, of course apart from Monty Python. Watching it, I shook with laughter. Ricky plays a working actor who only gets roles as an extra and each episode has a different celebrity guest, such as Samuel L. Jackson, Kate Winslet, Les Dennis, Patrick Stuart, Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe, etc. I suggest you get your Neflix on, and get it on now. And here's a tip: if you do get your feisty little hands on this, watch the DVD extras, especially the outtakes. They almost made me piddle.

A note on this picture: Ok here's how it happened. So I wanted a picture of Ricky because not everyone can remember who he is, possibly because of our American-ness and his British-ocity, but the programs I have on this computer are so rudimentary that my greatest editing software is, you guessed it, "Paint." (Intern computers are greeeat.) I was able to crop out the right side but not the left so I decided to write on the left side, which really only resulted in me looking like a Perez knockoff.

LOVE Extras. Won some Emmys, right? I like the Orlando Bloom episode.

Yeah! Ricky Gervais won the award for Outstanding Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, which was a huge win because he was up against Steve Carell, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen and Tony Shalhoub.

Haven't seen the Orlando episode yet but it's on it's way. I'm excited!

Samuel L. Jackson was amazing.
Gervais also did a podcast a while back that was also terribly funny. You should look that up.
