This is true. His HBO show is ridiculous! I saw it teh first time it came on, and it was ammusing...but he never does anything different. He has the same five or six characters in every show, and everytime he becomes one of those charaters, he does the same thing, over and over and over...

Ricky Gervais went on to do The Office and such. At least he's not churning out the same BS.-AC
true...the office had its moments...extras was poor at best and his stand up stuff is dire...
ali g was funny when people he interviewed thought that he was seriously a representitive of a part of youth culture...since his cover was blown, so to speak, his stuff has been totally pointless...particularly the interview with the Beckhams....

The Office was excellent.
Once Ali G lost the cover of anonymity, he could only go downwards. From then on it has been unfunny, and lost the actual essence that made it any good in the first place. If both parties are in on the joke, it's a bit of a futile exercise.
