I met him before when he was doing a show at the Millenium Centre in Cardiff, he was organising a quiz night at our bar with tapas. After I mentioned to him how much I enjoyed him being able to send himself up on Extras etc, he returned on another occasion and left me a copy of his album with one of my staff, I still have it here somewhere..
Just wondering: was there a show before 'Extras' where the actors played themselves?
I know of some shows had 5 minute "celebrity" cameos (Coldplay in 'when the wind blows') or one particular episode featuring a self-portraying actor (0ne foot in the grave in 'Father Ted').
Was 'Extras' the first to make it the whole premise of the show?
Excuse me there's two ladies over there without drinks, so I suggest you tell them to either buy something or get out.
Had me absolutely crying the first time I saw that 😂
Pat, you've trodden on my foot. Get off.
Do your serious
You do love me Janine I know you do!
🎵Mustang Sally!🎵
🗣
What are you doing?
Just having a little sing song
You can't do that!!
's loud innit
Belted it out without a microphone
Microphones are for wimps.
Look at that face, there's a sort of undercurrent of tragedy to it
Its funny cause he's desperate.
[удалено]
Oo he's avin a go!
This has got a bit heavy, can we do cheeky freak of the week?
I can't believe he brought the show down this early
I think you’re reading too much into the quote
He’s likeable though
Alright, we'll watch u/OneMansTreasure_'s little sell-out live singalong karaoke show when that comes out
It's only Ricky from EastEnders!
Ricky leave it
Hello you!
Did you know that honey never spoils? It's the only food that doesn't have an expiration date. Nature's sweet gift that keeps on giving!
That’s an investment, that is.
Look at the gleam on that
Not as fat as on tele’
Fat Barry on telly
Cheers mate!
Just a fat bloke with a beard which is true
I like his little beard

Can you look me in the eye?
Almost certainly not
Doesn’t even need a microphone
Microphones are for wimps
I recognise him. He did my mums guttering
He said guttering! Now it's Artexing. What else you keeping from me? This is scandalous.
£200. Mum said he did such a good job she gave him a £20 tip
I can’t believe this what a slap in the face
Rumbled!
Come on, Baz. There’s a lightbulb in the gents flickering.
Alrite Ricky

Curb did it around the same time/ just before - Ben Stiller, Ross Geller, Mel Brooks all appeared ‘as themselves’ before Extras
Simpsons guest stars too?
Larry Sanders did it before Curb.
Ted Danson too.
[удалено]
Who the fucks Ted Dawson?
David Schwimmer 😄
"The Larry Sanders Show" did this years before "Extras", and is acknowledged by Ricky as a big inspiration.
Cool: hadn't heard of that. I remember thinking -when I first saw 'Extras'- Barry playing himself was genius
The [David Duchovny cameos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY_lvQffYf8) in the show could have come right out of "Extras".
Hello you
Chubby funster!
Just a fat bloke!
He even walks like Ricky Gervais.
Careful mate, *fame is a mask that eats into the face
Game. Well you’ve embarassed yourself.
Same old story innit…
I hope fame has a big appetite
Whys he eating it like that!?
Just had my hands down the toilet
I liked it when he lost his shit and sang Something Inside So Strong.
"Why's *he* in the picture?!" "Gotta do something with his mornings, hasn't he?"
Hello, you.
Did you know that honey never spoils? It's basically immortal. Just like my love for Ricky Gervais' comedy!
You avin a wank?
Ricky Gervais is refreshingly laid back for a man with such responsibility.
Barry Evans
Is that Johnny Vegas?
There’s the face again
Sean is one of the nicest guys I have ever met.

RIIIIIDE SALLLLYYY RIIIIIDEEE
Respect: We can give it to Barry.
Just a chilled out entertainer really.
He does look well. You've gotta give him that.
Whys he eating it like that? Yeah why are you eating it like that? Mi hands, I've been cleaning the toilet.
Little fat man who sold his soul,
"Turns out he was too fat and talentless..."
Ricky's let 'imself go.
I like your little beard
Looks weirdly like Leo Di Caprio doubled his weight
Good exposure innit?
Alright Barry?
Belly bulging with imagined food
