After Life Season 2 Outtakes | Ricky Gervais

[@paulkettell3667]

Gervais is absolutely unreal in this, he writes the script and can’t even help himself - complete natural

[@EmArgh]

There's a lot of improv from the cast as many have been in comedies (phone shop for example) or are comedians, so some of these are him hearing them for the first time

they improv alot

I think some of it is improved hence him bursting out laughing

There's something really beautiful about the outtake at 6:57 where they start laughing and David Bradley just changes from this entirely convincing role as a character with Dementia that makes so much of this show really sad, where he breaks out of character and joins in on the laughter and that cloud of sadness is just lifted. I dunno why - it just makes me feel so hopeful.

I love how Ricky gives licence to the actors to just ad lib. Main reason he laughs in most of these is because he’s never heard the line before. Seen loads of people on previous outtakes like Derek saying “why does he laugh so hard on lines he wrote” well he didn’t write them 😕
