That’s a brilliant teaser.

I have The Office and Extras on my DVD shelf, so I’m pretty much in line for this already.

That said, the “cringe comedy” aspect in the trailer feels a little forced, with Gervais doing that thing he does and almost mugging for the camera. I’m so in awe of the brilliance of these guys’ writing and performance that I’d hate to see it become just another shtick.

Ah yes, awkward comedy. I did get a good chuckle.. not a total LOL, but a slight ‘hehehe’.

I thought Ralph Fiennes was very funny in In Bruges. I’m interested in seeing him in more comedic roles. And Merchant and Gervais have never given me any reason to doubt their combined abilities.

I am intrigued.

When i first tried to play this it said “invalid parameters.” I think that has to be the scariest way to tell me I cannot watch a video.

Made me laugh but I am not sure just from this teaser if I really want to see it. Merchant and Gervais do have a brilliant track record, however.

I LOLed. And I don’t use that term lightly.

I’ve yet to have even a twitch of a smile over Ricky Gervais. Comedy may be the most subjective genre ever; but almost no level of objectivity makes me see any LOL moments.
