3:18 "Gervais is a well known social assassin at award ceremonies..." could be the greatest statement ever :D

[tdyerwestfield]

I'm not sure the American audience understood number 6. Ricky did an episode of Extras with Kate Winslet in 2005 and the whole premise of the episode was that Kate Winslet was just doing dark, quite taboo topics, such as the holocaust, because it was the easiest way to win an Oscar. In 2010, Kate Winslet won an Oscar for playing a role in a film about the holocaust.

Had you made this after 2020 we all know what number one would be

[s.r.j.]

4:09 The "I told you, do a holocaust movie, the awards come, don't they?" is not just a joke out of nowhere. Kate Winslet played a parody of herself in Ricky Gervais' TV show "Extras" in 2005. In her episode, Ricky had characterized her as a cynical actress playing in a holocaust movie in the hopes of getting an oscar... So, life imitates art I guess

[tjwash]

My favorite is him reading and commenting on the Noah’s Ark book he received in church school as a lad. Brilliant piece!

3. Sarcastic Emmy Speech
2. The elaborate Office dance
1. Taking Steve Carrell's Emmy (I sat through Evan Almighty, give me the Emmy)

[tombstonerforever]

I'm religious and Gervais isn't someone who religious people normally like but I like him and I think he's so funny.

[Awsomegamevideos]

The fact that none of his stuff with Karl Pilkington was on here should have this video taken down

Ricky Gervais playing The 5 second game with Ellen ! #priceless

[RazSux]

No mention of Derek which is often over looked.

[worthalook]

Them golden globes awards were so brilliant - that's how it should be done

[NxDoyle]

I'm only offended by Ricky revising Steve Merchant from his career. *I* made the Office. *I* made Extras. I'm not saying this because I hate Ricky, I don't. But I hate that aspect of him.

Top 10 Jack O'Connel Performances

[markjackson]

He was also a New Wave lead vocal in the band "Seona Dancing" during in the 80's. : )

[autumbreeze]

I notice a lot of these moments were from The Office. Shame I just never got into that show

[ItzTFJere]

That thumbnail makes him look so much younger

[taotoo]

Would be so much better without the commentary.

[stevencassidy]

God forbid, you were seriously missed at this years ceremony

[genizot]

Not sure how the list failed to include Gervais's all-time best scene: 'I think there's been a rape up there!'

[ROBYNMARKOW]

Going by the title of this video, I thought he passed away..
