Ricky Gervais - What do you Americans think of him?

I'd like to know how our little Ricky is getting on in the States. Do yous lot over the pond like him,do you get his very dry humour?

personally i think he's great. When I first saw him on friday night armistice,he was shockingly rude and crass. Very funny,he seems to have (had to) tone it down somewhat to make his break on TV,and now onto the big screen. So,back to the question,do ya like him?

Had to look up who you were talking about...



He will do well here.

Well, as an American, I think he is hilarious. I saw "The Office" when it first came out and loved it. Extras was funny too. I can understand why some may see him as a little "grating" but I like his presentation and style. I have laughed harder at some of his stuff in the last couple of years than most other material.. I say keep him coming!

He's far too accurately arrogant for my comfort. I don't mind crotchety old people fuming about what-have-you or chunky, sarcastic Scotsmen profiling for a living or even serials full of innocent country life and humor that run for nigh on thirty years. That's good fun.

I guess I've had my fill of arrogance for this lifetime.
