Louis CK remembers a classic joke-an excerpt

I know the whole thing is here on the Sift. But watching these guys crack each other up is priceless. Excerpt from HBO's Talking Funny.

I always felt like "what's Ricky Gervais doing in this group?" Not that Gervais isn't funny but he hasn't exactly accrued the same stand-up gravitas as a Seinfeld or a Rock or a C.K.

I agree but he addresses that at one point and that's a great thing. Also I think it was his idea, his show.

Yeah I looked it up, Gervais Ink. his production company produced this special. I think they need like 40 more, even if it was just rehashing constantly I would watch all of them over and over.

I didn't realize that Gervais produced this show (which I have seen) but now that I do, I think he has an inferiority complex much like his David Brent character. Instead of injecting himself into the discussion and making it weird by over-reacting to everything (the above clip is a terrific example) he should have excused himself and inserted, I dunno, Louis Black. I think Black would have had a solid point of view on the topic. Or how about a woman?

Jeez did you not like Ricky Gervais that much? He was fine, I love this special, Ricky did nothing to make it bad. Also I know it sounds bad but I can't think of a woman comic that can keep up with these guys. That's probably due to my ignorance though.

Well, that's the fascinating thing about me, Yogi. I can recognize that someone has flaws and STILL like them. Amazing, n'est ce pas?
