Every Ricky Gervais TV Show Ranked From Worst To Best
3. The Ricky Gervais Show (2010 - 2012)
Though it started as a podcast, the ramblings of Ricky Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington lend themselves perfectly to animation. Effortlessly hilarious, thanks in part to the gift that keeps on giving, Karl Pilkington, and of course Ricky Gervais’ infectious laugh, The Ricky Gervais show is the most purely enjoyable entry on this list.
The success and delight of The Ricky Gervais show owes a huge debt to Karl Pilkington who basically carries the show without ever really knowing it. In many ways this is The Karl Pilkington show, as the man who Gervais described as a ‘comic-genius’ spends the majority of each episode delivering hilarious anecdotes and theories.
Whilst their conversations alone would be enough to warrant its 3rd place on this list, the brilliant animation also aids in creating a surreal, yet charming world, that brings to life the constantly evolving strange conversation topics and ideas like Monkey News.
