10 Awesome Cartoons That Grown Ups Can Enjoy

5. The Ricky Gervais Show

The Ricky Gervais Show The Ricky Gervais Show is an animated version of the popular British audio books and podcasts of the same name, which feature Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais (creators of Extras and The Office), along with their round-headed friend Karl Pilkington, talking about random topics. While the show consists of so-called €œpointless conversations€ these discussions are always amusing. The highlight of the show is without question Karl Pilkington, a man who has no idea of or proclivity to be pretentious or pompous. He says exactly what on his mind no matter how dim-witted it is. This includes Karl thinking that one day the if we continue make €œmore and more stuff€, we might get to the point where it€™s €œtoo heavy for the world to handle€. Plus, the infamous €œMonkey News€ segments are always comedic gold. On the other hand, there are some statements that Karl makes that appear to express thoughts that we've all had before but just couldn't articulate. But that€™s an article for another day.
