10 Reasons Ricky Gervais Is A God-Like Genius

6. He Always Takes It One Step Farther

Step Farther It's one thing for Gervais' David Brent to simply talk about his love of music in an episode. But then he actually brings his guitar to work and plays original songs for his employees ("She's the serpent who guards the gates of helllllll!"). Gervais and Co. always take it just a little bit farther than you think they would. They always put in just a little bit more work than you expect. They always surprise you with their follow-through. Because not only does Gervais' David Brent serenade his office staff with a guitar, but then he produces a music video that we all get to see. One. Step. Farther. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riOZoc8vyFQ
