Awkward Samuel L. Jackson Encounter! | Extras | BBC Comedy Greats

[@allanchurm]

the acting from all 4 of them is on another level..brilliant

[@summitwonder]

Awkwardness on a different level. Great acting from them all, the look of disbelief in what’s been uttered, the gaps of uncomfortable silence, the dialogue. Genius show

[@josemaria8177]

Samuel L. Jackson was great in Extras. Nearly as great as he was in The Matrix

[@larryparis925]

He was also great in Spartacus, with Kirk Douglass.

[@cptmaj]

I'm Spartacus L. Jackson@@krell2130

[@harunamusacloud4843]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jondoeami]

His performance in the matrix can’t be compared to that in the shawshank redemption

[@godbluffvdgg]

His best stuff was in Black Panther...

[@BongoBaggins]

Extras was some of Stephen Merchant's best work

[@gazf6163]

Nice to finally see someone knows where the true credit is due. He wrote most of The Office, he wrote most of Extras. When Gervais ditched Merchant and made stuff like Derrick and Afterlife, it was mostly recycled XFM stuff.

[@MrEmmanuelSimon]

Samuel should've shout I'M NOT LAWRENCE FISHBURNE!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mk1gti]

Samuel Jackson's silent take just before the end was hilarious! Love him in Apocalypse Now! And who can forget him in Tropic Thunder! A dude playin' a dude played by another dude! Black dude played by a white Australian dude played by . . . Samuel L Jackson!

[@nevermindmyname9153]

Apocalypse Now! ...? For the love of God, tell me that was a perfectly timed joke 🤣

[@mia_djojowasito_malik]

not me actually holding my breath during the awkward bits 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AthelstanEngland]

When the first series of The Office came out I couldn't watch it. Too uncomfortable, I had to wait and borrow a mates DVD so I could stop it, grab a cuppa and prepare myself for the next five minutes!! 🤣 This is more of the same. Gervais is a brilliant genius and how they don't all just break character and laugh out loud is incredible.

[@krell2130]

Yep, when he's not being caught on grainy 80's camera footage, Sasquatch likes nothing better than playing the trumpet.

[@MicrophonesInTheTrees]

I used to swear that it was John Malkovich and not Kevin Spacey in Seven. So there you go.

[@user-zt2kl7kv6r]

in fairness, Malkovich would've been awesome in Seven!

[@paulembleton1733]

Stunningly funny. Samual L’s expression classic, then they walk away and it’s like saying “let’s get into character”, which of course is the best line in The Matrix.

[@daxfit3]

“What Super Bowl commercial?!?!”

[@ohmy1670]

Dizzy Gillespie is the weird big cheek guy. It clearly wasn't intentional, but makes this even funnier

[@chrislom5288]

This is weaponizing cringe. It's so good I can't look away but so awkward it hurts

[@stefanleo8963]

*The* *most* awkward

[@EbrahimLPatel]

Didn't Samuel L Jackson actually get mistaken for being in the Matrix in real life?? On some news show years later 😂

[@cray2349]

Yes, that's true😁

[@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww]

He even referenced it in the 2019 Netflix Shaft film

[@MrBradfordchild]

Samuel has been confused with Fishburn before. An extra layer to the joke.

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

Samuel L. Jackson is a big guy! The guy he was standing next to was a tall man as well.

[@willb1405]

off topic but i loved forest whitaker in the star wars prequels

[@tassawaryasin8673]

TBH this is quite realistic 😂.Some lady said a similar thing to me.

[@sneakyninjazz99]

Pulp Fiction 😂

[@JiriMarsicek]

Sam is a prett big dude

[@quadangries]

Good film, that's all she's saying

[@domlisboa4024]

Didn’t see this the first time round. Excruciating to watch. Is this comedy or a horror film?

[@10beanz]

Are they saying he wasn't great in the Matrix? Don't understand the joke. He should have said: have you taken the red pill? Would have made that scene funny.

[@michaelb2388]

I'm not a big fan of Sasquatch either

[@markrichards9327]

Merchant writes brilliant cringe,he should avoid acting tho,worlds apart to Gervaise.
