    The guy seems to be like marmite, you either love the guys comedy or think he's an annoying fat cunt. What's your take on him?

    His movies have been shit, some of his stand-up is funny to me, some not so much. He's hit or miss to me.

    He is very funny. I love his stand ups and his work in Extras was great.

    He can be hit and miss. I just watched extras in the last few months and that was excellent, movies can be dodgy. The office was also good.

    I've liked most everything he's done. Could not get into the show with the Dwarf though. Had a few brilliant bits, but most of the stuff with Warwick Davis was wank.

    I love the animated podcast show with Karl Pilkington.

    Yeah I loved the podcasts, downloaded most of them now, really funny. The Office IMO is one of the greatest sitcoms ever created.

    Didn't really like Extras or any of the movies he's been in.

    I really liked "The Invention Of Lying"

    I don't think I've seen any of his other films.

    He's pretty funny. Have you guys watched An Idiot abroad? I thought that was pretty damn funny.

    Hit or miss. I like his style of comedy but I think he lacks consistency.
