"No one works harder than us... except for people who work in other professions" 🤣

[masondegaulle]

What makes Richard great is he's literally just saying what he thinks.

[DrewishAF]

His best line of all time has to be the, "NO ONE told me there would be social interaction or I would not have come." 😆

[williamwalsh]

Richard is just legendary. Best deadpan straight man in a generation. Thank God YouTube exists so Americans can enjoy this genius man.

[EhCloserLook]

I always find Richard Ayoade to be delightful. More of him, please!

[Certifieddonkeybrainless]

Richard is a genius. i can't tell if his whole personality is an act, which if it is is an insane level of skill and commitment I'm certainly incapable of, or if it is just who he is as a person that exudes the level of perfect comedic timing do to awkward delivery, but which ever it is, I deeply respect the man for all the laughs he's bestowed upon me.

[jamesoxley]

The random awkward "hi". He's the only person on Earth I can respect for using something that simple for comedy.

[floouk]

He should be the new Doctor. He would be brilliant!

[AmaraEmme]

What a blessing this man is, he’s never disappointed

[roo]

Well done Richard for being something that the BBC and most actors cannot achieve: not entitled, not condescending, not a waste of space, and entertaining.
Thank you.

"There was barely enough time to get up from your seat and slap someone..."

😄😂🤣

[jesmarina]

Nobody can say "Please" quite like Ayoade can.

[KittyHerder]

That man just doesn't age. I had to look it up. He's 45 and still looks like he's in his 20s.

[maureensurdez]

quick wit, well constructed, consistent threads, BEAUTIFUL JOB.

[BenjaminTemplar]

I loved his character in the IT Crowd and how he interacted with all other members of the cast. A true genius ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[irandude]

“There’s barely enough time to get up your seat and slap someone” - ohhh the shade. 😂😂

[artimp]

Brilliantly understated, ironic, and cheekily modest.

[sweatymrkim]

He's finally made the 'IT Crowd.

[RyanRSteiner]

Richard’s one of those people who seem endlessly funny due to a substantial amount of both wit and intelligence, I’ve missed him since Travel Man. Would pay any sum of money to see him and Holness resurrect Darkplace.

And damn, he’s looking really good, like, hasn’t aged a day in the past 20 years.

[Mystro]

When you realise his whole public persona is an act, and that he might actually be the best and most committed actor in the room...
