Corpsing

I freely confess that I neglected Ricky Gervais' Extras until well after they first appeared on television, and I've already explained my mistake on this blog. It is, without a doubt, a demonstration in the art of comedy, and a timepiece for future generations to discover and admire. It's with this in mind, dear reader, that makes me find these videos absolutely hysterical; watching Hollywood A-listers buckle under the hilarity of Ricky and Steve's script is pure gold. Highlights include Sir Ian McKellen's waning professionalism when faced with a deadpan Gervais, and outtakes from Keith Chegwin's classic scene.
