Daninger very weak, unfortunately

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

johnshay1017 This show is brilliant. It is funny. The fact that one of the reviewers on here downed this show and then, in all seriousness, recommended that you go watch "two and a half men" for good comedy should tell you all that you need to know about that reviewer's tastes. It's not about whether you find Ricky Gervais funny. It's all about Karl. I would say, if you have above average intelligence you will find this funny. If you have below average intelligence, then by all means go watch some of that comedy genius, Charlie Sheen. Watch this show. You will love it. And if you don't, well, there is something wrong with you.

Tonny Comedy at it's finest. I read the other reviews and found two which had a directly downward score. Then I looked at who loved it. I could say its four times more that has eight stars and if you looked a bit more into the other movies made with Ricky, Stephen and Karl you would know they just don't fake it.Now to the actual review. This show is animated comedy at it's best and I recommend it to anyone who don't think they fake it (like some reviewers). The animations fit perfectly to the show and could not have been better! I really hope there will be a third season (and also a fourth one) as the quality still remains on top. Haters be gone.. there's a new episode of "Heroes of the Humorless"!

Adam Daly Back in 2002, a friend of mine nudged me in the direction of a small radio station called XFM. He strenuously urged that I listen to a Saturday show with comedy writers Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant and a strange, unknown entity. 'This will be your newest addiction' I was promised.Ricky often mused that the radio show was probably the worst show on the air. With ridiculous competitions with crap prizes and idle rants about monkeys and freaks gave a general impression of a few friends simply messing around with a microphone. For anyone else, this would probably be difficult to enjoy and ultimately short lived. However, Ricky had a wild card. His name is Karl Pilkington.The joy with Karl is his unique and misguided interpretation on life. This wide-eyed naivety that pushes boundaries through ignorance allows us to laugh guilt free at many of life's taboos. Often he strikes a deep and meaningful point before severely (and hilariously) misinterpreting it. For years Steve and Ricky poked the proverbial stick at their manchunian friend, each time striking a comedy goldmine.And as the radio shows and subsequent podcasts peaked and flourished, team Gervais decided to open our peripherals to the perplexing mind of Pilkington. Cue - The Ricky Gervais Show.As a huge fan of the original material, I was at first sceptical of the animated format. I thought it would restrict my own imagination as to Karls thoughts, almost spelling them out for me. Ultimately, I simply couldn't rationalise where the extra laughs would come from.And then I saw episode one. As soon as I saw the cartoon Pilkington in Hannah Barbera style, I immediately laughed harder than I thought possible. His gaunt, glazed expression and perfectly round head were arguably better than the real thing. Added to that the constant digressions, brilliantly playing out the banter and conversations between the three of them. In between Steve's self deprecating anecdotes and Ricky's infectious laugh, Karl would set the scene time and time again; reflecting on his own adolescence, freaks, monkeys, the gays and many other areas of fascination, all supported by some of the funniest animation i've had the pleasure of seeing.Now Ricky himself needs no introduction. Since the groundbreaking BBC comedy 'The Office', Ricky has time and time raised the bar in television programming. With the successful American adaptation, his (even better) comedy series 'Extras', fantastically risqué live stand-up (including the memorable Golden Globes performance) and regular movie work, he is now a household name; and rightly so. I even dare wax lyrical in declaring him the best comedian of our time. And with this newest instalment, along with the critically acclaimed travel documentary 'An Idiot Abroad', such a reputation can only be validated.All in all, the animation has taken nothing away from the original format, and has added so, so much. If you have had the chance to listen to the older podcasts or even the XFM radio shows and yet not seen this, I would strenuously urge to to. If not, even better.The Ricky Gervais Show (on HBO in the US and Channel 4 in the UK) will stimulate more laughter than you thought possible. As my friend once told me - 'This will be your newest addiction'.********** (10/10)

Ross Arnold This show is absolutely hilarious, after watching the first episode out of boredom with nothing else to do, i was impelled to watch the other three so far in the season, and then download all of the pod-casts and the audio- book. Karl, very much reminds me of myself, and will definitely either remind you of yourself, or someone you know, he seems to actually have good points and opinions, but they way he words the, makes them absolutely dumb sounding but hilarious, and with Ricky and Steven mocking his every thought this show is definitely worth watching. It had me holding my sides and with an aching stomach from laughing so hard none stop through every episode. 10/10
