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.

when you realize old people are babies with experience

Ricky has aged so much since this. Don't go vegan!!!

Love ❤️❤️❤️ the show so freaking funny sad at times like a rollercoaster up n down lmao to whipping my tears away great concept great show love love love it 💞👍👏👏👏👏🙏 BTW I LOVE THE WIG LMFAO

18:05 love how the cameraman just turned the camera to film Ricky laugh his ass off :D

Derek is a masterpiece!

There is a lot of things you did..Office, Extras, Golden Globes, Afterlife and many more..I’ve seen them all, but the Derek is the best show I have ever seen..I just keep watching it over and over again. Thank you Ricky 🙌🏼

he was...PERFECT

I found it so hard to watch Derek after Karl left. He was my favorite character by far because he was so unapologetically himself. Especially the scene where he calls the residents daughter Mr T and a magpie as I was a carer in a nursing home at the time.

"Out of his Depth⁉️⁉️⁉️😮" Karl Pilkington YOU are Brilliant ❤️

The "Duran Duran "bit is so good So funny and lovely in the same scene❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What do you mean do people still have cornflakes what world are you living in? ha ha ha ha Always Karl Pilkington is absolute utter gold!.

You CANNOT tell me he didn't rip off Karl, taking the inspiration (simple man, simple thoughts) along with the simple expressions. They're obvs parodied up by Rick. But one cannot *dare* deny that Karl was the inthesis Obvs exaggerated of course, but the idea remains...

♥♥♥

21:23 hahaha

21:23 you’re welcome.

I wonder if Ricky would be able to pull this off in today's world. He isn't autistic therefore the PC army would cry foul over this. Seems you can't make a flick about fags these days unless you are actually a fag. Insane.

Sure fuck it, leave it to me to bully the PC army and break them down one by one, saying that they're losers with special needs and that their mammies and daddies never loved them.

"I've a knackered Meerkat here to fix"... Nearly pissed myself laughing at that.

Derek is absolutely outstanding.

Thanks Ricky...

Me emocioné hasta las lágrimas viendo Derek. #Riky Gervais tiene una visión muy particular de las situaciones, y muy acertada.

Karl's cornflake bit! Haha.

I found the old peeps so sweet. And Karl's love for food touches me on so many levels x

Thank You! To ALL envolved in the series!

Emotional series

Brilliant love all the characters ❤️

I relate so much to Carl, that i wish i had a friend like Ricky. Always trying to involve you, even though youd never ask, he busts his balls a LOT but its obvious he cares about the fellow, and thats fucking rad. Id hand over money to get rick Karl and Steve back together for just a season, the world needs it lol.

Karl is an excellent actor and he has no idea!

Hands down best show ever made

Derek is the best program you ever made. It was funny to the extent I had tears. It was sad which made me cry too. Such a mixture of feelings all thru the series but all were spot on. The people at the top making cuts. The lack of care from old peoples family ( the Mr T scene where the fat woman comes for her Mothers belongings and is so heartless). Great acting espeially on Dereks part - and lots of truths about what happens. This really is the best (to me) you have ever done. BRILLIANT. Never tire of watching this.

Karl is method

He’s like Arthur Fleck

Genius.

Any chat with Karl becomes super funny somehow

does anyone know the song when they are at the beach? :)

Steal my sunshine - LEN

The first season of Derek was probably the only good season in the show because of Karl's character playing off of Ricky's. Both of them in this show managed to capture a sort of father/son relationship in terms who they played, Karl playing a hard working balding chimp who would get the job done and Ricky playing some autistic guy who's wife presumably died in a car accident and his only option is just a care home. And I do feel that was sadly lost in the second season when Karl left the show. I mean if Steve was on this show then I think he would've played the role of an uncle who isn't an uncle.

RIcky: "The Mank Whisperer" 😂

OMG! There will be a season 2- AWESOME! I'm all a flutter! I will get out the kleenex for the laughing and the crying as well! Dereck is all LOVE. Much like down syndrome people, and even more so Asperger's autistics, they are just so blunt and loving, there is no evil in them. It teaches us so much, as a nurse I learned so much from these people. I wish I could say I was like the nurse in "Derek"" but I wasn't as sweet. No nurse Ratchett though. I was pretty nice all in all. It's hard to be unhappy around the patients except when they are dying or in pain, or "code browning", etc. I LOVE you, Ricky!!! You give so much to our world.

Love it

Karl is such an elemental force, I love this man. The scene with the ring was fucking epic.

I just finished the series, and I am going to start it again. I loved it that much lol. Such a show

Brilliant

@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.

the best show ever to grace television.

@Hannah J Right?! How can you not smile when you hear that laugh LOL. There are 3 seasons of the show animated on NOlocal. Just type in The Ricky Gervais Show. It is really funny. I hope you enjoy it. It was nice chatting with you too. I hope you have a nice week. Love from Phoenix 🙂

Dude that’s such a good idea, when I feel the same I’m gonna look up clips of him laughing LOL, and thank you for the recommendation, I didn’t know he had an animated show! I feel so behind on this front but then again I don’t think I would have appreciated these shows when I was younger. You’re pretty cool my dude, always nice to know there’s like minded people somewhere in the world!! 😺

@Hannah J 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😃

@Jaime Reynolds 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.

@Hannah J Did you watch Ricky's Netflix show After Life? That one gets you right in the feels too

21:18 for the fart. :)

I love Karl in this just watching him comment on things around him could be the whole thing

Another season or two of Derek would be great!

21:00 - "Ye dirty bastard"

it must be crazy to be an actor on a set and have the director be the one who keeps losing his shit and laughing like a hyena while everyone else is standing around all professional. i love watching these behind the scenes clips and , really, anything to do with derek and ricky gervais.

Ricky so Amazing

The wife and i have just watched 5 episodes, honest to dog ,weve laughed and cryed Love it xxx

Genius of our time. Very lucky to watch his work.

Apparently Karl has just bought a house in Sandbanks for £3, 000,000.

Really?

i love the fart on the head oh did i laugh.

If this was the first thing I'd seen Ricky Gervais in I'd probably love it. But it wasn't and I don't, sorry. At the same time it's still amazing writing and has, other, great characters.

Karl, Ricky and Steve is what worked get back and do something new

derek is the best of rickys stuff

I wish they would make more episodes. I miss them. Beautiful serie

Karl and David played the best characters on this show. Without them, Derek wouldn't have hooked me in at all...

Oh gosh Karl's just playing himself on the show 😂 And Ricky's lookin' smashin'!!

@21:20 thank me later

That scene with Shelly = best acting ever

Karl is just fantastic in Derek, shame he didn't stick after season 1

So funny, but still emotional and sad at the same time. Loved it.

Karl being sassy lol. It's brilliant.

Ricky your laugh cracks me the fuck up!!! 😂😂😂😂💀

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

Karl is a class actor. Holly wood class. Makes Bradley pitty look like Tom Daley

I love how they all rise up against Ricky over cornflakes.

Derek is a terrible character ... hes as bad as rosie odonnells simpleton .... without merch gervais is corny as hell

Just saw this - one of the best series I have ever seen. Wish there were more episodes

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.

Get involved in acting if you like food.

This was a great series I think Ricky should of won something for he's portraying of Derek he probably did and I missed it but brilliantly played.

Kerry Goodman is an incredible actress.

I've only just watched Derek and I can honestly say that it made me seriously think about how I could be nicer to people rather than the horrible cunt I normally am.

This show was so good (Karl or no Karl) I was upset when this video was ending....like my friends were leaving. Definitely one of my top five T.V shows.

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.

If only Karl had managed to stay in character when Ricky guffed on him...

What's interesting about this is Karl was likely already "done" with Ricky mentally at this point. During the filming of s1 Ricky farted on his head and he's mentioned how he wasn't happy about it... He came back for the 1st episode of S2 just to write out his character and after that he hasn't done anything with Ricky since

929 comments .... and not one comment dedicated to how good Kerry Godliman is in this also. Yes, Karl and Ricky ate great but the whole cast bring a little something to their characters

Why did Karl leave after series 1?

Karl Pilkington is very arrogant. I didn't like his character and i don't like who he seems to be either.

“I’ve been living a lonely life” *Shows Karl*

💛😢💛

Derek and After Life are amazing shows. Rickey has two shows that pull my heart strings. He has the dramedy thing down.

omg Ricky looks so handsome in this interview 😍

12:08 I get the feeling that the conversation could have gone in another direction. Well dodged/edited.

grande!

Karl Pilkington was easily the best part of this series.

I absolutely love this show.

How adorable is Kay Noone? Everyone must see their Nan in that wonderful woman.

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.

Ricky makes me laugh when i watch him laugh! hahahahahahahahaha

Dougie was my favorite character in the series, It wasn't the same for me after he left...

Does Carl just play himself with an odd hair style?

When Ricky laughs, the sun shines on my soul.

Manc whisperer lol

Only gervais. Brilliant.
