Carl's Scene with the woman who is just there for her dying mums ring is one of the best scenes in the entire show. I replayed it a few times.
Karl was being Bullshit man in that scene
I’ve witnessed family removing their relatives possessions before they had died. Heartless people.
So right! It was fabulous.
She WAS like a magpie looking about for anything shiny.
Exactly.
When he told her off it was what everyone wants to say to those people and never does. Absolutely brilliant.
Karl reminds me of the kid in Kes who funnily enough hadn't acted either. The performance comes out as natural which is something a lot of big actors can't do
There isn't a single clip of Karl speaking in which he doesn't manage to reference Elephant Man.
Apart from the very first one on this video?! 🤔
To be fair Elephant Man is the saddest movie ever. He is right. I agree.
666th like
He only mentions it when it's relevant to the conversation
there is actually....theres a clip of him talking about some other fella...think his name was Joseph Merrick or summat.....
"He said they're doing pork chops today. I said alright, I'll see you in an hour."
I love this man.
Yeah, it just gets me that what finally persuaded him to take part in a new Ricky Gervais project, that most people would be willing to sacrifice teeth or other body parts for at least, was the fact that the catering is good.
@@herseem true lol
They are All Great comedians 😁❤️💯
When Karl needs to get angry for a scene I bet he thinks of his boiler.
Or about his neighbour putting bin bags out too early. Bin man doesnt come till Thursday.
janpec10 or a starving African wanting a sandwich
Made my day mate
Or suzanne fucking everything up!
Or buying Suzanne a present and not getting one back.
This is by far one of the most underrated shows EVER. I laughed and cried more than ever. It’s definitely up there with afterlife. Pure genius. Ricky is the greatest gift of this generation.
No cap I am not the crying type, but those shows get me in every season at least once
its very highly rated so idk dude :p
i miss karl, ricky and steve in the same room together.
ISetYourFaceOnFire One of my mates was in London and bumped into Steve, and asked if the trio had anything was in the works, but Steve strongly hinted to Ricky and Karl had a serious falling out due to Karl going his own way with the Moaning of Life, which I think is really sad.
Mac
I knew it...I knew it. I always thought there was some kind of falling out. I mean why would Ricky all of a sudden stop tweeting about karl. Why were audiences in his q and a's told not to ask questions about karl and steve and only questions to do with his current projects. That really is said, if it's true.
ISetYourFaceOnFire Well I know this guy really well and he's huge into RSK -but I couldn't believe it either when he told me, I was surprised that Steve would even hint at such a thing, even if it were true. But yeah, Rick's ego appears to be ruining what made him funny in the first place, I bet him and Steve mixed some words at some point too, they seem to be keeping their professional distance, which is such a shame, if you compare their collaborative efforts with their individual projects, it's clear to see their synergy is unmatched when they work together.
By the way, please excuse my atrocious grammar in the previous comment, I always make f'ups when writing comments on my phone!
+Mac Sounds about right. I thought it was really odd how they just got rid of Karl at the start of Derek season 2. I personally think the show fell apart after the first season. Im pretty stoked to see Karl doing season 2 of Moaning. That guy should be filmed at all times. he's too funny.
+onree317 Karl said in an interview that acting stressed him out and that he basically just didn't like it, which is basically why he quit the show. Ricky backs up this story too, saying Karl was sweating a lot and was so nervous the first few days.
Anyways, friends who have been friends for so long can sometimes have fallouts. I hope this isn't the case, but it could be.
Any new Karl content is a blessing we should treasure.
I don't think this is new, I've seen most of this before.
neonballroom93 Yep, same - on channel 4 Got excited, then let down :(
QuixoticQuaver Me too :( I would love a new podcast or show for Karl to do!
No really new but..
You're in luck. Karl is doing a new Moaning of Life series due for release late this year to early next year!
So frustrating Karl doesn't see how talented he is
Toby Bromfield not really, I think we all admire him for the reason that he does not see his talent. It’s all very humbling and the complete opposite of the rubbish we see on tv these days
Michelangelo Competiello he s actually a naturally talented actor hes very genuine probably cause hes playing himself
Michelangelo Competiello There's a difference in being humble and not accepting the truth.
@@Ranger1812 but if he accepted the truth he wouldn't be Karl
He's a simple man, which lends to acting very well because you often see things for how they are in the moment very naturally.
I discovered Derek when i was diagnosed with cancer and had to go through rough chemo treatments in the hospital. Did not matter how sick, or tired, or in pain i was... Karl could make me laugh. I was already a huge fan of him, but the sweetness of the Derek character and the hilarity of Karl really helped me.
I hope you're doing better now :)
Hope all is well now.
Andrew 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Andrew hope you are doing better now!! Let us know!!
I hope you are on the mend and years away from meeting Mrs. Battersby.
'Derek' is an absolute work of genius, mixing comedy with emotion in a style that I have personally never seen before. Never has a show made you want to laugh so much you cry, yet cry with enough resonance to forget why you were even laughing. Work of art.
After Life is brilliant too like that
I completely agree - I have just started to watch it and I am blown away.
Then watch he's latest show on Netflix. Best he ever did.
It’s 2020 and we just discovered it. It’s entirely sweet💕
Nah its shit
fucking hell as if she needs jewellery mr fucking t lmfao Karl u legend
pembo3000 haha, i bet that wasnt in the script either!
pembo3000 i wish i could say that to a few relatives ... dont see em untill there mams dies and there there rumaging through her things
Anyone else listen to XFM, podcasts and Ricky Gervais Guide to... When they are about to sleep? I can't sleep without karls voice😂
+kurt pullen The amount of times at night I want to scream the house down with my laughter, and instead I have to stuff a scarf in my mouth to muffle the sound XDDDD The podcasts are HILARIOUS.
+kurt pullen I really thought I was the only one! I can't get enough!
cool surname
+kurt pullen
I'm surprised by how many people besides me do this. I can't sleep without listening to Karl.
+kurt pullen YES!
never seen a show where one minute im laughing the other im crying my eyes out
Watch After Life Tv series too then it is by Gervais
The only one where my bf and i cried and laughed together while watching something. I'm sad that some people think that this series is rubbish and offensive.
@@divewithmcdel8130 I agree!....I teach special education and believe this show champions people with personalities that fall outside the realm of what most folks perceive as 'normal'.
@@divewithmcdel8130 After Life is Gervais' weakest work.
Aushwitz documetaries do that for me, brilliant “gallows humour” interspersed with some genuinely unsettling bits.
Dear Mr. K. Dilkington:
When are you going to come out of hiding?
You are one of our most valued customers
agentPLINY he's been making shows non stop for the last two years you knobhead, play a record
He had some laser resurfacing in Moaning of Life. How much did he get because it obviously worked! Those lines in his forehead have totally been reduced!
You're kinda the sad, loner type.
Nigel
"I put it in the bin"
Seeing Karl actually laugh is always so precious. As for Ricky's laugh...that's just contagious.
"Kindness comes along and trumps it all." Ricky knows what he's doing.
"What world are you living in!?"
The pure disgust in Karl's voice XD
Why though?
Menace Man lol. I get this comment like 5 times a day. I hate this picture hahaha
"Cornflakes? Do people still have cornflakes?"
GaseousGorgon (puffs imaginary cigar) 🧐
I genuinely think Karl acted the part of Dougie really well - particularly in that scene where he’s angry with the relatives
Awesome Karl and the gang!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 10/10
Karl is the best thing in the world, when I have a bad day, I'll just watch Karl or listen to some old XFM shows and I get a smile on my face within seconds.
how do I listem to his xfm shows?
+Saad Alfouzan just type Ricky gervais xfm
It worked. Thank you
Dutchgender if they took xfm from RUclips I would top myself!
Dutchgender karl and ricky are the dogs knob .... fantastic
I honestly think Derek was possibly the best series for social awareness ever made. It was designed to transform our opinions about the elderly and examine their lives and our consciences with regard to the elders in our families and our communities. Cheers Ricky; if this was all you accomplished in your life--well done. Well done.
Should be series 2,3,4 easy comedy!!!!❤️❤️😁💯🙏
Mr fkn T !!!!!!😁😁😁😁💯🙏
Derek and After Life are brilliant! Thank you Rickey! Just brilliant! I connected so much with After Life because my wife has cancer. I cried every episode. Thank you Rickey because now I want to appreciate my wife even more while she is still here and not waste the time I have with her. We have been together over 38 years.
Ricky has the perfect life, work is essentially seeing how far you can push the boundaries, constantly laughing, taking the piss out of pretentious celebrities, most importantly...constant contact with mr k dilkington
I love Karl's enthusiasm for the buffet.
Derek is a masterpiece, its lost on some people who think its just making fun, its a serious show in reality.
When Dougie quit, the series really took a blow. I think he's an essential part of the show and I always enjoy episode's with him, more than those without no matter the theme. But this series is definitely amazing.
100% Agree !
L0rd Log1c he wasnt fired he quit
TheGopoundsalt
You're right of course. I'll change it.
L0rd Log1c Either way, It still wasn't as funny or entertaining for me.
Absolutely agree. It seemed like the second series relied far too heavily on getting laughs from Kevs childish sexual remarks, which is funny every now and then but when that's the only source of humour it gets repetitive.
"The manc whisperer" haha brilliant
I don't care how old this clip is, Ricky will never cease to be the most beautiful person on the planet. His laughter is the most inspiring, joyous sound in the world. His heart makes him heads and tails above the average man. Ricky is Derek in a sense. He's not going to change who he is based on who he's talking to. What you see is what you get.
His projects are masterpieces.
what I love about Ricky Gervais' writing is that he can show the whole of humanity. You can laugh and cry and feel all within a half an hour. Laugh SO hard...cry and have that lump in your throat...it's a rare talent. Kudos to the actors also who bring his ideas to life.
The bit where Karl had a go at the woman about her mother's ring was brilliant 👏
Didn’t fancy Derek until I’d watched After Life, well that was so brilliant and have since watched Derek - both series are terrific, yes they’re both about love, they make you laugh, they make you cry - Ricky Gervais I am now your biggest fan
Ditto!
I’m gonna do the same and watch Derek now too 😀
Same!!! 😭
Ditto..
Well caught-up!!!! Congratulations!!
They are the Best!!!
All 4 of them and rest them, they are All Awesome actors ❤️💯🙏
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🙏
I was never a fan of the office but after binging on Afterlife, then Derek , I’m beginning to think Ricky is a genius. His work is not only so funny but so touching, moving and full of empathy. Brilliant!
Same here! I started with After life and then Derek. I just watched his stand up show on Netflix the other day. It was GREAT. I love this man now !!
Ricky Gervais is a treasure and pure genius. For many years, I kept passing his work up...wasn't drawn to it. Then I saw his roast on the Golden Globes 2020 and I gave him another opportunity. Now I'm obsessed and watching everything of his I can...each is just as good as the next.
Yes my thoughts exactly!
Does anyone here watch everything Ricky does just to hear him laugh?
"not even for a proper scene, shitted on me head."
When they were going on about Corn Flakes it felt like Karl and Ricky had switched minds or something.
yeah and I think Ricky's right there, as I think Karl's usually right about his points.
Karl was essential, which is one reason why series 2 was vastly inferior to series 1. But hey, if he didn't wanna do it, he didn't wanna do it.
exactly, series two was terrible, considering how amazing series one was
Well, I wouldn't say terrible. It had its moments both funny and sweet, but as a whole, it just didn't come together like the first one. It felt more contrived, and failed to move me and make me laugh that much.
yeah,definitely
Jay Lee season 2 final episode was the best episode of the whole series.
Jay Lee Ricky and Karl had a falling out..
Karl really doesn't understand that he IS an actor. A natural.
My God, Karl. I'd watch you over Lawrence Olivier any day, and twice on Sundays.
Loved it when Karl pushed back against Ricky about Cornflakes.
Just finished season one. I watched After Life and it was so effing brilliant that I searched out more Gervais projects. I love the fact that there's not a supermodel to be found anywhere. They are all real-looking, ordinary people like most of us. While After Life and Derek are both hilarious, they both are also poignant and born of the best of humanity. Gervais is brilliant, and he knows how to extract brilliance from the people around him.
3:28 - CALL ROLF HARRIS! 'I can't Derek, he's in jail for multiple acts of child molestation.'
Worked in nursing homes and within the mental health sector for years and this was a wonderful series Ricky's portrail as Derek is outstanding I've worked with so many individuals similar to him bravo Ricky great series
I'd only seen about 1 or 2 episides of this series until a friend of mine gave me the series box set, series 1 and 2, and I cannot put into as many words as I would like just how much I love everything that Ricky Gervais does, this man is an absolute brilliant writer and director. This series has dragged me through every emotion I ever thought I could have in a half hour. I dont know how he does this. I feel like he reached into my heart and ripped it out. emotionally wonderful series, and the character Derek Brilliant, and in case you havent watched Afterlife, thats a must too. How wonderful it would be to work on one of Ricky's sets! must be the ultimate fun.
Ricky,plays his part as Derek, it is just beautiful.
Ricky Gervais is the best thing to happen to comedy in decades ! The term “genius” is overused nowadays but Gervais “is” a comic genius, writer, director. I love everything he’s done. It’s all original and entertaining. I mean seriously, compare a series like Derek to the overrated, boring American series like “The Big Bang”, a show that needs a laugh track literally going off every five seconds minimum. Thank you Ricky Gervais.
I first saw Derek just about when I had to put my dad into a nursing home. This show hit me every single time. I literally cried at least once every episode, not so much from the schmaltz, but from the genuine emotions it stirred in me because of our situation. Dad died in November, and I've been both anticipating and dreading watching the special. I will always be grateful for Ricky and all for making this show. It will always remind me of dad.
+Dave Kwiatkowski Same thing happened to me with my Mum and I told Ricky this on twitter and he replied with a nice comment :)I'm sure if he read this he would give you one too..
+MrEverisforever He responded on Twitter and I squee'd
Ricky does so great in this movie, he really pulls the audience emotions in, that’s what a movie really is isn’t it? To be able to CONNECT with the audience. It looked effortless, which shows just how much heart they all really have....... whether they want to own that or not. Brilliantly done.
It has rung true with me as I was an elderly care nurse and it is true some relatives are complete knobs to their parents, not by putting them in homes, but from the attitude to their elderly parents thinking once they get old they are useless and have no feelings and haven’t had a life or got married or had kids and husbands and lovers, it’s very sad sometimes to watch ☹️ as it rings so true xxxx
Eternal rest to your father and love to you and your family
Karls impression of Ricky at 20:08 had me in absolute stitches.
I just found out about this series. My mom is 88 with Alzheimer's. Dad's 93 with dementia setting in and in a wheelchair. Watching them age and lose their former selves is heartbreaking. Today, my mom thought i was her sister. It's hard not to cry at times like that. This series helps me cope. Also, the love Derek(Ricky) has fir all animals is so relatable to me too. Ricky is able to draw upon so many human emotions and scenarios is incredible. He's truly a gift for all that get him and appreciate his talents.
The Karl character is brilliant. The one in reality I mean. He's a genius and needs an award for his acting. I want know who he truely is, behind his reality character.
One of my all time favorite shows. Comedy genius.
I have fallen in love with Derek. He is perfect. Thank you, Mr Gervais for this character, who has changed my life. For the better.
Ricky is an absolute genius. He’s not just funny, that would make him like all good comedians. He’s so much more than that.
This show goes beyond suspension of disbelief and into emotionally invested territory for me. You want/wish this world to exist. Everyone who worked on this did an amazing job. Thank you
I just love this programme. I think this is the true spirit of Ricky Gervais. The character Derek came from him so that is what is inside of him. Kindness, caring and love. Well done. I laugh and cry in the short period of one episode. Thank you Ricky Gervais for giving us this wonderful show.
He said 'they're doing pork chops today' so I said I'd be there in an hour 😂😂
I love Derek and all the rest of the cast. This turned out to be one of my favorite shows. Just wish it had lasted longer.
@rickygervais (if you ever see this)
the episode with Ivor hit me the hardest, and watching Derek go through the pain of having to witness an animal he loved being euthanized somehow gave me strength that I know I will one day need. You’ll never know how much this impacted me.
Thank you, so very much, for pursuing your passion projects to the fullest. Thank you for this show.
I think people sometimes think Karl is bullied or a constant victim of Ricky and Steves pisstaking but the cornflakes conversation proves Karl can give as good as he gets.....hilarious too
hahahahahahaha Karl making fun of ricky at 19:00 onwards omg!
The best thing about this comedian is he says everything I think of writing on a note.
"I'd rather be sad than anyone else."
You know, I watched the first episode of the show just for a laugh thinking it was just something random on Netflix from a British comedian, I ended up finishing it in 2 days drinking beer and crying laughing, it was therapeutic
Best Series I have ever seen on the tv, Ricky's writing is amazing and the choice of actors was perfect. This series made the world a better place.
Karl, you're far too humble about yourself, you're by far the best character, and u act well also! And I'm American and probably a fortunate one, bc, i think British comedy is gold, and you changed my life, you made me get into British comedy, and now there are a slew of great British comedians/comedies I love. So, thank you!!! =)=)=)=)
Joshua H Me too! Can you give me some suggestions to check out?
Vinay K. Débrou - Catchphrase with Jimmy Carr. You’ll find that hilarious 😊🙌🏼
Ricky truly is one of the greatest writers EVER! EVERY story he tells is full of heart and emotion but RIDDLED with hilarious comedy! and Karl is AMAZING!
Ricky Gervais is world class, as a comedian, writer, actor, and general human being. He has more reality, more pathos, more compassion than anyone else in show business. He cuts through the bullshit, destroys the arrogance and narcissism. He is just being normal
Mr-Fookin-Tee
Kerry Godliman is so beautiful!
Ricky Gervais .. awesome human being
ricky really is the mank-whisperer
Made me cry in the last episode. So touching
If everyone had Dereks kind heart. Miss you Derek💕
The "Duran Duran "bit is so good
So funny and lovely in the same scene❤️
Gervais is a better actor than I ever gave him credit for. My dad had Alzheimer’s and spent the final chapter of his life in a superb care home, similar to the one depicted in ‘Derek.’ Fabulous series. Hilarious and heartwarming.
Dougie was my favorite character in the series, It wasn't the same for me after he left...
"What do you mean do people still have Corn Flakes!!!??? ... its like you're living in this world where people don't have Corn Flakes!!??"
Bahahahaha! - God I miss Karl.
RG, your the only reason I'm getting Netflix again. I recently saw how you roast the 1# at the Golden Globes. I died!🤣
The world needs more of the best version of the three musketeers ever.
Never imagined Ricky Gervais to be this kind of writer/director. After Life and Derek have some truly amazing storylines and emotion. The man's funny and he doesn't give a shit what people think. But these shows have some really thought provoking dialogue and scenes that touch your heart. Great, great actors (Gervais, Conaty, Godliman, Wilkinson, Pilkington and of course the amazing Penelope Wilton etc, etc) and you can relate and even if you can't, anyone with an ounce of humanity has to appreciate the balance between comedy and drama he's gifted us with here with these 2 shows. Bust a gut one minute-ball your friggin' eyes out the next. Brilliant TV. Can't wait for After Life season 3 to hit Netflix.
Roll on the 14 of January for afterlife 3 😊
Derek is still one of the best things I've ever seen on TV. Thanks Ricky...and all the cast.
" LAUGHING THROUGH THE TEARS " ESSENCE OF LIFE ! Thank you Derek 🙏 2020 & it's STILL GOLD 😁😂😂
‘I don’t think it is done like that. I think that’s just your little way.’ 😂😂😂
the best show ever to grace television.
I just finished it, and it was perfect! Made me so happy and cry and few times LOL
@@jaimereynolds258 definitely! I laughed quite a bit but the episodes that made me cry... well I cried HARD lol. They don’t make shoes like this today.
@@hannahjLive Did you watch Ricky's Netflix show After Life? That one gets you right in the feels too
@@jaimereynolds258 yes!!! That’s what I started on, then I became obsessed with Ricky and found Derek. I will definitely watch both again after some time has passed but now I’m watching Extras. something about Ricky’s delivery and down to earth attitude gets me, like he’s a regular guy feeling all the things we feel. I don’t ever feel like his shows are better than reality like Tv makes us think, instead it all seems so realistic. And there’s really no pandering to the audience. Never really does anything for cheap thrills or an attention grab, at least of what I’ve watched so far.
Derek though is by far my favorite show. Afterlife is right up there with it.
@@hannahjLive Whenever I am having a bad day, I will watch something that has Ricky laughing. His hard loud crazy laugh, is one of my favorite things in the word LOL. The animated Ricky Gervais Show is a lot of fun too. Such a great human😃
The actress who plays Victoria is gorgeous.
Michael Bennett debatable
I love her. She’s got such an infectious smile.
She's the same one from After Life who said she had a minge like a butcher's bin.
It's really fun to see Karl sort of being himself here in these interviews. It's his personality that's great, and while him playing it up for the podcasts is funny, it's nice to see him smile and have fun too.
Still can't watch anymore of Derek, after four episodes of the first season it just broke my heart. I cannot watch it without bursting into uncontrollable tears. The innocence and kindness and sincerity just breaks me. Even watching this making of I was in tears twice. It's a credit to the acting directing and writing and I feel bad for not watching it. Maybe one day I'll be emotionally capable of watching it all.
Karl's wig was amazing, I really hope the hair and makeup folks were awarded for it, star of the show.
Bummed Karl left the show. I thought his work as Dougie was brilliant. Granted, it seemed like he was just being himself, but it was still an authentic feeling character.
This was Ricky’s best work. Truly a wonderful show. It has made me laugh hysterically and cry at the same time. Well done.
I don't know what makes me laugh harder, Ricky's laugh or the clients. Absolutely hysterical!
Just watched it and it’s brilliant. Ricky is a genius.
Ricky Gervais could play the joker in batman. he could use his maniac laughter and acting skills in it
I've never laughed so hard at a fart, I'm crying!
Derek is like a caricature of Ricky himself in a way. Not the mentally handicapped part but the genuine love for everyone and everything. He makes everyone around him happier.
"as if she needs jewellery.. mr fucking T" im so glad you have shown the world karl pilkington
I absolutely loved Derek , Ricky is a bloody good actor
So sad the series finished i loved it
Ricky, you have one of the most incredible minds of this generation, funny, brutal when needed, but also kinder than almost anyone I've ever known, brilliant mate
Ricky is the only person who can actually make me cry as someone who has worked in care for along time, so much is true, unfortunately how they present care for the elderly in my experience is so very very wrong, I'd give my life for the type of care the elderly get in this series.
"Normally the two films that make me cry are The Elephant Man and Kes"
+Ben M. He's always goin on about elephant man....bahahaha
@@ferise1 right get some more buns in
It's the sweetest and smartest series I've ever watched .. LOVE IT! Such a shame its only 2 seasons .. but still .. thank You Mr. Gervais - such a pleasure to follow Derek's and the gang adventures! :)
There was 3
Derek is one oof my all tie favourite TV shows. It manages to be so funny and so genuine and yet so emotional all at once. Magical piece of televisual gold.
Honestly everything about this series is pure gold. Gervais' magnum opus, and in the future, when the time is right, it'll be praised with the recognition the general public of today is unable to offer.
Even though Karl is the one without any acting experience I found his character most believable and Dougie quickly became my favourite.
