You can tell Cheggers was a lovely man. I told him a cheesy joke on Twitter once and he took the time out to DM me saying it made him laugh. Such a sad loss
@@jjlacey1970 fuck!!! I was never interested in him before he was on extras ( when are game show hosts ever interesting .. ( escl8ding Micheal Barrymoore and John Leslie ) But I was impressed with him in this!! He was brutal with himself all so other people could have a laugh at his image ..
This series is utter genius. It tackles every single subject in life. It so poignant and beautiful but always done with the immense platform of humour . Completely outstanding x
In addition to be being hilarious, this is a legitimately amazing featurette. These are all well-respected and genuinely talented people offering insight into what it's like filming the absurd and how truly difficult it is! Also, it's a bloody riot. 🤣
Extras really is exceptional. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves these days (it did at the time) just because it's overshadowed historically by Ricky and Stephen's preceding programme. The final episode of Extras is extraordinary.
Oh the worst thing about corpsing becomes the anticipation! After the first two times, you know the funny line or moment is coming up and you're practically dying laughing before you even get to it! It makes it so impossible. I've also tried the running around to kind of burn off the energy
I bet Ricky watched Cheggers Plays Pop on TV in the 70s too. I remember him on the Big Breakfast in the 90s. He was always so upbeat and likeable. It's great to see how well he and Ricky gel in this. "Cheggers Plays Cock" haha!
I love it when they laugh hysterically while breaking character especially when talking dirty. They are human beings after all. You know people would probably pay a moderate amount of money to see these kind of dirty outtakes in a complimation video sold on DVD.
4:30 this is such a universal experience. Youre laughing when you need to be serious, you take a moment to calm down, you look back at your friend and immediately the laughter escapes you again
I swear, the 3rd time he says, "Ivy restaurant", the head turn he does is downright attacking! XD It's like he's bloody throwing the words out his mouth at her, DEMANDING the laugh! Lmao, what a wit.
My wife and I met Barry (Shaun) a few years ago in my hometown. He was in the panto that year and was just milling about sainsburys doing his shopping. We walked past him and i glance at him then said to my wife thats barry from enders. She couldnt believe it as she loves enders. I turned round and just hello Shaun. He smiled and beckoned us over. My wife gushed about enders and I said you havent got that pen on you? He smiled from ear to ear, Grabbed my hand and said, No one mentions extras!! we left to get his shopping and as we were leaving, he was at the next til so said seeya shaun!! He said Bye Danny, Bye Liz! It was great to meet you! What a fucking guy!
Ian once said on Graham Norton how much fun he had on Extras, and how much he loved the script. In his words 'the laughs just fall out'. A lot of the time you laugh because youre expecting the line at any moment.
I loved every episode,, but I particularly loved Sir Ian McKellan explaining 'acting...it REALLY endeared him to me (rather than just admiring his talent and skill) and it's quite a revelation that he had such a hard time acting that part. Exquisitely ironic.
R.I.P. Cheggerz. A true legend. I loved the bit when he said "I thought I'd learned not to corpse, especially with the things thsy I've seen!" - his whole career was corpsing! Haha. Miss the man.
I like how through the expensive art of TV making Ricky strives to click with all the people he brings on to set through corpsing and laughter. Brilliant when you connect with someone on that level and things are absurdly hilarious. Gervais pursues that silliness and the whole experience / production with and for everyone is richer for it 👌
I think an upside to corpsing is whenever someone loses it because of one of the minor details that remind you of the absurdity of what you're doing, you can then re-do the line and emphasize what made the other actor laugh to make the scene funnier. Of course you then have to get through it without laughing eventually.
What was so funny about the chegwin scenes was the fact it was Chegwin and it was known he was so far away from the material he was delivering, if it was just a random guy it wouldn’t have been so funny
I'll never forget the day when a colleague and I were invited to attend the engineering apprentice's project presentations. So we're in this (what I would deem) overly formal presentation in this meeting room for this lad's shield project presentation. He's going through talking about the project management tools he used, the concept selection methods, Gantt charts etc. Then when he described the final design solution and talked through it, someone asked how much it would weigh, to which the lad replied "500 kilos." Will the second it left his lips and long before he could correct himself I snorted. Then all I could hear behind me was my friend trying his absolute hardest to stifle a laugh, which in turn made me want to burst out laughing. I can say the next five minutes were the hardest five minutes of a meeting I'd ever endured. It wasn't that funny, but it was just how it was such a facade meeting being taking so seriously, as if he was from BAE or Rheinmetall or something, then he tells us his personal shield system design weighed 500kg. Like why did he say 500? He couldn't have meant grams or lbs. What did he mean to say? 😂
Actually this is really what we are, this is how we are supposed to be, that laughter is coming from a place that makes us different from a rock or stone, its life, its what life really is, life is bursting with positivity, we should never try to contain it.
One time i laughed so long and intense i lost all the air in my lungs and almost collapsed. i could not stop laughing. i almost fainted. I was so tired after and went to bed. the day after my abs were hurting lol
It’s just the simple concept of “I’m not allowed to laugh now so I really want to laugh” it used to happen to me as a kid in church sometimes. A simple thing can stay in your head for ages just because you’re trying to not acknowledge it.
If I’m having a shit day, I only have to watch any outtakes involving Ricky and I’m howling 😂 I met Keith chegwin when he was doing the big breakfast, such a great guy. ❤
Ironically whilst watching the "Ivy Restaurant" out takes, I suddenly realised how annoying it must be for all those background extras having to constantly reset and walk into shot on queue. At some point you must be thinking "screw this".
Watching bloopers is the quickest way for me to boost my mood. Ricky Gervais never fails to crack me up 😂
You can tell Cheggers was a lovely man. I told him a cheesy joke on Twitter once and he took the time out to DM me saying it made him laugh. Such a sad loss
Tell us the joke!
I’m went for a meeting with his brother once - he was a cool dude too
Wait .... he's dead ????
@@jedaaa yes he died on the 11th of December in 2017 aged 60 years old
@@jjlacey1970 fuck!!!

The inability to stop laughing is one of life's bittersweet pleasures!
well said. totally agree
Totally agree my man 😂 😆 😹 . . . . . . . !!!!!!!
Write that down; that's a quote for the ages!
Ha ha it actually gives you a natural high you always feel good after you have had a proper laugh
Usually learned in the head masters office with two or three friends.
The one with Kieth chegwin had me in stitches 😂I couldn’t have sat that close to him without laughing like Ricky either 😂
Me and my mate tried for years to do it without laughing, never succeeded
This series is utter genius. It tackles every single subject in life. It so poignant and beautiful but always done with the immense platform of humour . Completely outstanding x
Don’t like the forced bloopers though. It’s overkill.
It's poor
@@kdsgirly5573How are these blooped forced?
@@hmq9052 what do you think is good?

When Ian McKellen says “bollocks” in that posh voice 😂😂
wizZARddd....
Keith was a friend, we knew him for years. Great chap, great sense of humour, so sad what happened. Still miss him…
I can imagine. He seemed like a truly decent man.
His nephew is in
People do Nothing.
A great sense of humour must run in the family 🎉😊
@@gavinkaylhem8038is beats really his nephew?
@@user-vd9qi1jz5j Yes
He said you had a fat arse
They mentioned this on the graham Norton show and now I’m crying laughing 😂 thanks tv thanks
I swear, if i need a good laugh all i need to do is watch some Ricky Gervais or some of his bloopers.
Extras really is exceptional. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves these days (it did at the time) just because it's overshadowed historically by Ricky and Stephen's preceding programme. The final episode of Extras is extraordinary.
It's poor. The Bowie one was awful
I totally agree .. my opinion some if his best work
I watch the entire series every year. It's my favourite of all his work. The last episode I often watch when I need some feel-good
Its all the brilliant guest acts that i really enjoyed with extras
I always preferred it to The Office
It is miraculous that they even get anything done
Oh the worst thing about corpsing becomes the anticipation! After the first two times, you know the funny line or moment is coming up and you're practically dying laughing before you even get to it! It makes it so impossible. I've also tried the running around to kind of burn off the energy
In other words greatest job ever. I'm so glad I had HBO and saw these as they were releasing each episode.
Rest In Peace Keith Chegwin.
? what?
WHAT THE FCK CHEGGERS IS DEAD?????!!
@@EvilKris I didn't realise it either, apparently Cheggers died in 2017.
I bet Ricky watched Cheggers Plays Pop on TV in the 70s too. I remember him on the Big Breakfast in the 90s. He was always so upbeat and likeable. It's great to see how well he and Ricky gel in this. "Cheggers Plays Cock" haha!
Pop knob in fanny.
Is he really? I didn't even know he was sick.
Imagine trying to get through a scene with Ricky Gervais. Same with Julia on Seinfeld. Love them both.
The bit he does with Liam Neeson on Life's too short is hilarious, I really don't know how they got through it 😜
I love it when they laugh hysterically while breaking character especially when talking dirty. They are human beings after all. You know people would probably pay a moderate amount of money to see these kind of dirty outtakes in a complimation video sold on DVD.

i like when stephen is in head is popping out the toilet cubercle and ricky turns around and bursts out laughing when he sees him.
Some of the situations in extras are just so unbelievably silly I would be on the floor in tears trying to do these scenes
Cheggers absolute legend rip🙏🏻
Is he really? I didn't even know he was sick.
There are few things more pleasing than watching Ian crack up, especially with Ricky!😂😂😂
This just SO PROVES how infectious laughter is. Great stuff..... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Brilliant! My fav is Ian McKellan, so funny.
@Tom B Still waiting for an answer?
It's his show and he can keep paying overtime for all the actors and crew as long as he wants to
I’ve never really had any desire to be an actor in any shape or form, but I would absolutely LOVE to have even been an extra on Extras (haha!).
I swear, the 3rd time he says, "Ivy restaurant", the head turn he does is downright attacking! XD It's like he's bloody throwing the words out his mouth at her, DEMANDING the laugh! Lmao, what a wit.
Ricky's laugh is brilliant!!
He sure did!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you’re an aspiring actor and you see how corpsing affects even Sir Ian bloody Mckellan, it must be quite reassuring!
ricky's laugh cheer me right up after a bad day "morning canvirs per hahahahah!!!"
7:44 - it's me going towards happiness and life, and then going back to my sadness because I'm too scared to live.

Funny as hell, and I'm also glad that Cheggers had a fun time. He and Gervais were only 4 years apart in age, Cheggers being a child star.
Absolutely crying, thank you
The joy of being unable to stop smiling or laughing is becoming so rare on TV these days...
These are just hilarious! I adore Ricky and Stephen!
Aww,Keith Chegwin,still hard to believe 😥🙏🏼
He was hilarious in Extras!!
@@moulosify until he passed away.
I loved every episode,, but I particularly loved Sir Ian McKellan explaining 'acting...it REALLY endeared him to me (rather than just admiring his talent and skill) and it's quite a revelation that he had such a hard time acting that part. Exquisitely ironic.
I'd love to meet ricky one day, he's one of the most hilarious but humble people ever!
That must be its own special hell - to do a scene with Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais.
R.I.P. Cheggerz. A true legend.
I loved the bit when he said "I thought I'd learned not to corpse, especially with the things thsy I've seen!" - his whole career was corpsing! Haha.
Miss the man.
Lisa Tarbuck is awesome
10:58 Chegger's reaction after finally getting it done is brilliant
Extras ... the best of all Ricky's sitcoms.

Ricky's laugh comes from the bottom of his grave and every sinew in his body enjoys it. Its Master Class😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've seen this 100 times and I'm still laughing 🤣
Didn't know cheggers was no more.. loved him in Extras... hope more people discover this show...
I'd seen the outtakes but never knew about the "Ivy Restaurant" one, thats so good! 😂
this might be the funniest video on youtube
That laugh Ricky lets out at 2:23!

It's same thing for me at funerals
Corpsing is the appropriate word, then
@@w8m4n😂
RIP Keith Chegwin, keep forgetting he died 4 years ago
I think the wank blooper got funnier and funnier
How the fuck did they ever get anything shot this is hysterical 🤣
It's crazy It's been nearly 20 years
If I wanted to punish someone I’d have them sitting in a room with Gervais laughing
Ricky's laughter ALWAYS does that to me xDDDD
Ricky Gervais has the most joyful laugh!!!
What was so funny about the chegwin scenes was the fact it was Chegwin and it was known he was so far away from the material he was delivering, if it was just a random guy it wouldn’t have been so funny
12:40 - Feel so bad for the extras in background, how many times they walk back and forth :D
Oh god yeah, walking back and forth
Bazza Mr merchant and Ricky...tbh is the perfect combination... Should of put pilkington in for a few... Fantastic
10:29 when they have eye contact that just cracks me up

Always loved cheggers , he is an absolute legend.
2:30 she is probably dying knowing that Ricky is outside the window ready to burst haha
6:24 - Gervais's laugh on this one!! 😂😂😂😂
How Ricky ever managed to complete filming on anything he does amazes me,...
Extras is Britain’s answer to the skit show in SNL … far superior
Actually this is really what we are, this is how we are supposed to be, that laughter is coming from a place that makes us different from a rock or stone, its life, its what life really is, life is bursting with positivity, we should never try to contain it.
7:48 bro when he pops in and out again. I'm fuckin dying

00:34 holy shit ..that's the one from the Clive Owen sketch... I would pay for that!!!
I've been in hysteria. It can even get scary.
I`m literally corpsing for them now !
Stephen: *looks at camera and throws up hands* Do you see what I have to put up with?
Imagine corpsing as an actor and having ricky doing that laugh 😅
The fact that stephen Merchant keeps his hands under the desk no matter what happens begs the obvious question .
6:18 No the Balrog is crossing!!! Gandalf can’t focus.
5:04 that's what she said

"Comedy.. is where the mind goes, to tickle itself. That's what she said."

It’s just the simple concept of “I’m not allowed to laugh now so I really want to laugh” it used to happen to me as a kid in church sometimes. A simple thing can stay in your head for ages just because you’re trying to not acknowledge it.
I was corpsing throughout this entire video :'D
"pop knob in fanny" 😂😂
"pop knob in fanny" you can hear the sound of his finger rubbing against his hand
I can die happy knowing that Keith Chegwin probably spent hours trying to explain to Ricky that men have nobs, and women have fannies.
Even I was sweating with laughter at the Cheggars Cock n Fanny bloopers! 😂
Gervais's laugh is.....i dont know, sort of indescribable.
It's like a hyena being screwed
its like turning the volume button from low to Xtremly high...to the point of thier being broken glass
You avin' a laff ? Is ee avin' a laff ?
It sounds like super Mario on fire.
SEND FOR THE MAN!
This is amazing 😂
If I’m having a shit day, I only have to watch any outtakes involving Ricky and I’m howling 😂 I met Keith chegwin when he was doing the big breakfast, such a great guy. ❤
Can't believe it's actually Tarbuck. Legend that made Horne sit on a cake corpsing on a fake sticom
Extras was genius.
Ironically whilst watching the "Ivy Restaurant" out takes, I suddenly realised how annoying it must be for all those background extras having to constantly reset and walk into shot on queue. At some point you must be thinking "screw this".
Easiest job there is, just walking...
Find someone who looks at you the way Stephen Merchant looks at Ricky Gervais
I love gervais laugh is like a stress relief lol lol lol! I just waiting every scence to hear that good healthy laugh
The more pressure one is under to keep a straight face, the more easily they can be made to laugh.
It is an intrusive thought that keeps winning.
