Just having a look on the Ricky Gervais reddit, who hate him as much as us, and I see Ricky has been posting pictures of his new absolutely massive house. Already got his awards up!


DigForVictory

It's just really funny that both a reddit sub and a fan forum dedicated to him ended up hating him.


Ferris

Has he considered responding by letting them know how wealthy he is? Just a thought.

There's loads of stuff on there. Couple of highlights.

Fame is a mask that eats into Gervais.

People say Ricky has become Andy Millman from Extras but that character was conflicted about his fan base of morons when Gervais isn't.

The Mollusk

If that's the type of room he considers an office where he creates his work I'm not surprised the results are so utterly egocentric and detached from reality

Sebastian Cobb

Look at all that marble and nothing else, bet it sounds like the set of Eldorado in there.

Ferris

he's the sort of person who'd buy a pool table just so he could tell people he has a pool table.

£20 says it doesn't even occur to him to purchase cues as he will literally never use it

frajer

Shame he's forgotten the one thing his office desperately needs: Stephen Merchant!

(Done him again, play a record.)

phes

It doesn't matter how many square feet of real estate he buys, that Chris Rock high-5 is never going to meet its intended target

Hat FM

just read that he tested his wifi in a live broadcast to fans. could have just googled something.

frajer

In fairness, he googled "how to be a bell-end about having a massive fuck-off house" and it told him to live broadcast it to his fans.

Does it make you jealous yeah? My pool table.

Offend you does it, yeah? My pool table.

What, both of them?

Hat FM

wonder if the trophy wall went up before his bed was made.

Can't relate at all to wanting a house like that, no matter how rich you are. All that unfriendly granite and lonely space. It's not a home, it's a flex. A houseboast.

I was thinking about this the other day. I'd love to have enough money to be a nice two bedroom (maybe three) somewhere nice, but the idea of owning a space so huge you don't use most of it is just strange, no matter how rich you are.

Pink Gregory

Do they still make MTV Cribs?

Like living in a mid-range hotel but all the other guests and staff have vanished.

It's if you want to get away from people in your own home. A home so big there were rough areas on it. Ace House.

QuoteMackichan is not an appeaser. She writes about the rudeness of fellow cast members and creepy male directors. She writes about how when the all-female comedy sketch show Smack the Pony – which she made with Sally Phillips and Fiona Allen – was a hit, Ricky Gervais, whose offers to come and write for the show had been politely declined, still turned up uninvited at rehearsals and took over. "It was astonishing," she laughs. "It's the entitlement of anyone who's in the business who's male and it hasn't been as hard for them, to go: 'Learn from me, I'm going to upgrade you from women's comedy to comedy.'"
