Room 101 - Ricky Gervais (1 of 2)

Enjoy!

[@danicapopovic-backo5893]

couldn't agree more with ricky's attitude on babies in restaurants

[@musicaluploads8750]

I only just learned that a few hours before this was recorded, Paul Merton received the news that his wife had cancer. An amazingly professional effort from him.

[@royfr8136]

Yeah, he struggled on to get the 30,000 pounds for the show.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

@@royfr8136 Yeah I'm sure that's what he was thinking about, you utter thick cunt

[@jim191185]

I wish they made *Karl Pilkington's - Do We Need Em?*

[@Wrathmont313]

"I'll make her a spunk sandwich!" NEARLY DIED. HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHA

[@CarrieRawwz]

I LOVE ricky he's so right! these days you have to accept and put up with other peoples kids and if you don't like it your dubbed weird well there are people out there who don't like other peoples kids and like to eat in a restaurant in peace! god bless ricky!

[@AndysEdits]

this is rare - fits nicely in between the first season of XFM

[@achillesmlf]

Yeah lateness annoys me big time. On the very rare occasion I am late, that annoys me more.

[@synchc]

+achillesmlf youll love this comment then ...

[@VillaBoys123]

+SKYLANDBAK Shut up you fucking hippy.

[@ILIKEWALLS]

mate ive been looking for this for AGES, good work

[@ChrJahnsen]

Ricky Gervais is fantastic! Plain and simple.

[@gbjwal1]

My GF lives in Paris. Millions of tourists asking directions all day. 90% don't ask in French. You'd be hacked off with them if you were a local. The French know food and don't eat the processed crap we do.

[@ErlendWins]

He was so much more modest. Now he would smile at the audience all the way in and laugh all the time.

[@FutureAbe]

Yes he has Yes he has Yes he has Yes he has Yes he has

[@nicklive66]

Ha ha ha! The gene Pitney clip from Albert Dock and the spunk sandwich! Very funny!

[@pzolsky]

i didn't recognise him with out a black v neck shirt

[@ThreeWordsFirstWord]

you are a star for putting this up...i have been looking for this for ages !! xx

[@pacbizkit]

iv been looking for this for ages. thanks for uploading

[@MrTinTooting]

Absolutely! As am I. I am, however, often stood up. Hollywood goddess Marilyn Monroe was often late

[@d4679]

Cheers for putting this up!

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

I so agree about Children in Need. It drives me up the wall. Same with lateness actually. And toddlers in restaurants... Man, I feel like I'm looking at a slimmer, older, cooler me.

[@g1ng3r1]

i love him

[@mrfundah]

that episode satirises comic relief

[@cagethem9]

gervais is an absolute legend!

[@pastrychef1985]

I like how Ricky's been on many Comic Reliefs to date...

[@nathanb1732]

He did a song called equality street for comic relief after this episode

[@AliciaMooVProducts]

Thanks for this!

[@johntaylor5605]

his father's ancestry was french canadian, his mother is english. he wasn't born in france.

[@narwhool]

Those incisors! ... Ricky Gervais is obviously a vampire ...

[@fenton9408]

Absolutely agree. Escargot is nice but I'll take a nice roast over that anytime.

[@MissKenapy]

you've lived in france for several years and you still came up with all those stereotypes about french people ? well done

[@Wotanraven]

it's not an outdated view. it's still very much pertinent. My father is French, my mother is American, my step-father is British, and I work in tourism. I know all these cultures extremely well. French food has a good rep and deserves it. British and American food have a bad rep and deserve it, in comparison. That doesn't mean there aren't any great typically British meals. I absolutely love British breakfast and desert for example. Anyway, calm down. That's just how it is. Deal with it.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

I am an American and offended, mostly by the food.

[@TheKroglander]

yup I like how this one is goes deep into an individual's personality (granted this means that the quality of the episode depends on the person featured).

[@samanthakerth7691]

I agree on the kids in restaurants. People are so horrible about letting their kids to whatever the fuck they want. When I get the chance to go out the last thing I want are screaming acting badly kids. I also despise late people. My Ex and my Ex best friend are chronically late, I mean hours at a time late. Ugh if you are running late call the person. Especially now a days where everyone has a cell phone.

[@LawnBowlerUK]

Children of what age? I completely agree, young children, shouldn't be allowed with their stupid screaming and everything, but what about my age? Another thing I despise is restaurants who do not provide the necessary cutlery, or napkins. Ridiculous!

[@Oberonjames]

LawnBowlerUK What kind of restaurant doesn't have cutlery and napkins? I've never heard of that before, even fast food places have them here (in Canada). Hell, even hot dog stands by the side of the road will have them.

[@LawnBowlerUK]

Oberonjames England is different to Canada then.

[@Oberonjames]

LawnBowlerUK Apparently so.

[@blondemario]

I like it when people are late most of people.

[@nathanjones909]

In english we had to do a speech on what we would put in room 101

[@AshLuvsJonnyStew]

Also with him on the lateness, I'm someone who always arrives places early, work etc.

[@CharmsLithe]

I have problems with lateness too. I also have control issues. I see the connection.

[@simoncthomas1830]

well said

[@gdevine14]

awesome cheers

[@martinmerrywinkle]

bravo sir

[@worldsfastestslug]

old room 101 kicks the shit out of the new one

[@jamie130985]

Nice hair cut Ricky!

[@Apertravel]

Too right ;)

[@sejemandhaha]

Right, because this really is what he would put in if he had the chance. not just something that annoys him a bit and that he has something funny to say about.

[@corrietapp3178]

Wow, they look so young!

[@767Captain]

"If I go into a restaurant and there's, that, when you walk in, about nine high-chairs, I go 'Are you expecting the cast of 'Time Bandits?' If not, I'm leaving". Brilliantly funny, why I like Ricky Gervais' humor so much, because he has this talent and wit to drop in odd references (like the movie "Time Bandits", worth its weight in gold BTW) into a casual conversation on the topic, and make the sarcasm work perfectly!

[@kisbie]

@Nogli The format of the show has also changed. Now three celebs will compete against each other and only one will see their pet hate banished each round. Don't know if David Mitchell is on, but Danny Baker is and apparently nominated 'panel shows'!

[@portersbabe]

@DirtyPsycho69 He was adopting hedgehogs for his garden on an episode of "Wildlife SOS" and he seemed genuinely funny and nice.

[@imonlyjewking5636]

I'm sorry why hasn't Ricky burst out laughing yet?

[@Butteryjam]

@Furkin44 They hadn't even started filming the second series of the office yet, he spoke about it on the xfm shows and that was like late 2001 early 2002.

[@franinconverse]

I know exactly what you mean Ricky. I hate going into Pubs by myself and I will wait outside or take a walk.

[@GenericRubbishName]

Imagination is not the same as superstition. Imagination is the ability to create fiction. Superstition is deluding yourself into thinking it fact.

[@theotendleeey]

it's all about merton, what a genius

[@terminalfrost3645]

they should bring back room 101 like this, not the new format.

[@britishaussie22]

that thing with walking round the block if your mates late the pub.... i do that

[@ivorbigonee]

101 is from the film1984/book 1984

[@stevecox7075]

Ricky speaks highly of yours.

[@bareakon]

Milking a human doesn't kill them, unlike removing their flesh And also, human flesh might taste terrible, whereas human milk, by nature, must taste alright

[@bicolouredprawn]

@WalterLiddy That was from Extras, that was classic: "OH! Get him another cup!.... Fucking recycled tea and gob!" I think I'd have had a fit too.

[@armpitfuzz]

He looks like Johnny Vegas in the thumbnail !

[@Iamagorilla]

What do you mean? It's a glorious 90's cut, i luv it!

[@rayhs1984]

@Zombievomit the most famous is McDain's Restaurant in Monroeville, Pa. A few Airlines (Includeing British Airways) are thinking about it also. Malaysia Airlines has aldeady banned kids from first class. The anti-kid movement is getting bigger.

[@GeekKnightUK]

Sorry was this an uncut version, or did they leave the "I'l make her a spunk sandwhich" joke in?

[@Bengmason]

@aysonator - It used to be on BBC 2 back in the 90's and early 00'

[@mahakar11]

I was in England 3 years ago, Back then, the food was still terrible...

[@wurble]

@JeffUK I'm pretty sure David has been on room 101. I watched it on YT not so long ago.

[@krognak]

Wow Ricky is so much quieter here, it's surprising how much he's actually changed :o

[@coxmj15]

100% agree with him on the lateness. never acceptable, definitely the most annoying thing

[@Lews026]

@XhoowieX The one with Nick Hancock is great as well.

[@Jibbx]

brown bread? white bread? ooorrr . . . . . a seedy roll?

[@JackFitzsimmonsZondaFan]

Children in restaurants, I totally agree with Ricky, no-one wants to hear stupid, laughing, screaming, crying kids in restaurants, they're places for adults to go when they want to get away from the kids. If restaurants were meant for children, they'd be made suitable for children. (Although I know people will say a lot of them are made suitable for kids, I'm merely saying that generally restaurants are mainly meant for adults, NOT kids).

[@VitriolicDiatribe]

This may be a controversial opinion... but I think instead of a childless recreational habitat, restaurants are there for people to eat things in; and for the owners to decide whom to cater to. (It is not up to some random wanker to decide to universal purpose of someone else's business.) I think for the most part, the restaurants I've been to are meant for children as well, because they serve edible food. Children generally don't drop dead when they stab into a fillet mignon, and they can expect to have a nice carbonara without fear of it coming to life and strangling them to death. You wanna get away from kids, go to a swanky restaurant that has an age restriction; not write angry letters of complaint to the local Mcdonalds.

[@JackFitzsimmonsZondaFan]

Alright buster, how many of the 7.125 billion people have you asked as to whether or not they want my opinion? None, didn't think so, so do me a favour sunshine, sod off!.

[@Morphindel]

This must be the genesis of the scene where Brent gets fired in the Office. Whilst dressed like an emu...

[@taitfelix]

haha watched this in my english class, spunk sandwich was a bit of a surprise.

[@spj_7]

@ILIKEWALLS Same as! Thanks to the uploader!

[@thisdrinkinglife]

the new format is shite, bring it back to one guest

[@royfr8136]

when the guest was interesting it was good....More in depth...but when the guest wasn't it was 30 minutes of nothing....the new forat doesn't go into the reasons and personalities of the guests but at least when you have one or two guests that are shit...it's still OK.

[@brianm2881]

@@royfr8136 I'd take the occasional nothing guest in the single-guest format if you still get some great guests on from time to time. The problem with the new format is that it's the BBC making everything the same format. I'm not knocking the panel show format but I'm knocking the fact that it's overused and certain weaknesses of it become very apparent, e.g. it's all about one-liners and zingers rather than interesting conversations.

[@mooneepondskid]

There are plenty of good restaurants in London,only problem is they are fairly pricey. Only decent cheap eat is indian restaurants.

[@flakelorenz02]

This is the first broadcaste i've seen where they didn't cut the spunk sandwich bit.

[@jimmy2k4o]

7:44 something was cut out......

[@bakayurei]

o don't get me started on ze juden, hohoho

[@RowanRawrLovesYou]

@JeffUK They should make an entire series dedicated to everything he hates

[@MissKenapy]

I think french people are cold and distant, that's not arrogance but it looks like it.

[@spyrodragonrocks]

I'm doing my GCSEs and this is my homework :)

[@rhessex]

Merton a bit uneasy at 12.56.

[@JeffUK]

David Mitchell would be epic on Room 101

[@Nefariousbig]

If it's an 'acquired taste' it's obviously not the best food in the world!

[@Robp787]

do you know in a survey of national stereotypes the french saw us brits as lazy!!!

[@homerrulezzzz]

i figured this was before the office because i'd find it odd that he talks about how he hates comic relief then does an episode of it on the office

[@watermelonineasterhay]

I agree, children should NOT be allowed in adult restaurants. We should fight back against breeders for making other people stressed! Specially when they wander around and stare at you, its piss rude.

[@narwhool]

I guess it's a good thing that I don't care what you think.

[@fifimsp]

I'm exactly like him on the lateness thing. I hate people who are late. You know how long it takes you to get ready and get somewhere and account for traffic. There's vary rarely excuses for me in this department. We have a friend who is late to everything. Drives me nuts. We have started accounting for that when we go out with him. I'm always early to stuff.

[@Apertravel]

This was filmed in 2003. Twitter didn't exist ahaha

[@mushroomancer159]

Im doin a talk on 3 things i hate in english and one ichose is similar to rickys choice i chose babies and toddlers on planes

[@joedruo]

concur

[@charmingbuddie]

I have the same aversion for lateness

[@MrTerryBhoy]

@caxtonman He isn't talking about the actual charities but the people dressing up and the horrible 'talent' of some of the performers. If you listen to his podcasts he elaborates more on this in the episode for comic relief.

[@SynchronizedDesigns]

Remember Him Talking About This On XFM

[@mystikall89]

40,600th viewer !

[@ZER0--]

The very best answer must be to put room 101 in room 101. It would make the show very short, unless you left that choice til the end, and Paul may not put it in, especially as he wouldn't have a show any more.

[@Paddy.C]

Stephen Fry did exactly that, he said he hates negativity and complaining Instead, he suggested "Room Fluffy", where people talk about things that they love. Paul agreed, and Room 101 went into Room 101.

[@lemurjim]

Zac and Molly? It's Ottis and Edie now.

[@RaffLionGaming]

2002

[@cioccolateriaveneziana]

I came to this video from a Guardian review. According to the reviewer, the rice pudding anecdote tells us "how Ricky Gervais feels about women". How very Guardian...

[@alexjaep]

b4 the office, i think.
