The Ricky Gervais Show – HBO Animated version

Fresh off his arguably successful turn as host of the Golden Globes and following on from the uber successful podcasts and audiobooks, Ricky Gervais is taking The Ricky Gervais Show to HBO and in animated form. I do hope it’s not just regurgitated segments from the audio show but this clip proves otherwise. Either way, the material is classic and I don’t mind a rehash. The series premieres in the US on February 19th.

In other news, the “man with a head like a fucking orange” known as Karl Pilkington will get his own travel show. Gervais blogged briefly about Karl’s travels in Egypt, where “a bloke offered to suck his cock today in a toilet. Brilliant”. Ahahahahahaha.

The Lonely Island got to showcase their new tune at the MTV Awards a couple of week’s back with the help of Will Farrell and the keyboard toting J.J. Abrams. Andy Samberg hosted the awards night and there was a solid melody of the songs from their debut comedy record ‘Incredibad’ with assistance from Leanne Rimes, Chris Isaak and wtf, Forest Whitaker. Yes I’m slow on the uptake (I refuse to pay for Foxtel to get MTV) but I’ve only just got into The Lonely Island material and it’s not for everybody’s tastes (it takes a while).

By far, my favourite Lonely Island song and clip after ‘Jizz in my Pants’ and ‘Dick in a Box’ is ‘Like a Boss’. This is totally NSFW:

More Gervais coverage here at Hoovy Headquarters. I’ve been enjoying their new audiobooks Ricky Gervais Guide To… series (often laughing out loud at 8am on public transport) and found this video that popped up on the Gervais podcast. Fans of the original Office series and Ricky and Steve will love it.
