theunderstudy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Possibly one of the most overrated programs around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The bit where he did the land diving the other week had me in stitches. I agree it's all staged yet I can't help but watch, a bit like wrestling really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Both seasons are staged and scripted, that much is obvious...I do however watch to see the various locations which are of interest. Merchant and Gervais are both very dislikeable characters (imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 First two episodes of the new series were nowhere near as good as anything from the first series but the last episode was absolutely brilliant, especially watching the cogs turn as the ladyboy causes him to question his own ideas on what seperates males from females. Then he comes out with something along the lines of "if suzanne told me she was a fella......i think id still love her, at the end of the day she does a job, but she wont get away with getting me to carry all the shopping anymore, id say 'no, your a bloke, pull your weight'".

villa4europe Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 i like it, not as funny as the last series IMO some of it is a bit shit other bits of it are hilarious whilst other bits of it such as the water fight for new year or the firework festival in mexico are fascinating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I think it's quality. The best part of the series so far was when he did that weird bungee land dive but he only did it from about 4 foot high. I don't blame him as I wouldn't have done it from the top either!

villarule123 Posted October 14, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2011 its been moved to next thursday and karl isnt on the next episode, so 5000 idiots dressed in blue in brugges are taking his place instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 im a massive gervais, merchant, karl fan....podcasts and office etc....and i love idiot abroad... its mindless entertainment and to be honest doesnt warrant a critical review just like big brother doesnt... nobody is offering why they think Gervais is a bell end..he's not all over the tv like James Corden and does not revel in his celebrity... and whether you find the office funny or not it was ground breaking television ill shut up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
