Concept Comedy

Funnyman Ricky Gervais has started a blog for his upcoming film, This Side of Truth. Described as "a comedy set in a world where no one has ever had the ability to lie...Until now", this will be Gervais' first crack at writing and directing a feature length.


The latest post discusses the possibility of constant Gervais scapegoat, Karl Pilkington, contributing some sort of commentary track for the eventual DVD. Those who follow Gervais and writing partner Steven Merchant, know of Pilkington's eccentric banality from a series of laugh out loud podcasts - one of which is archived in this post. Great stuff!

Click here to follow along during the film's production.

An old co-worker listened to these podcasts. She loved this guy.

Personally I've only seen 1/2 of 1 episode of Extras.

Dude seems pretty funny.

Ain't no Pryor.

Your ideals don't become other's ideals just because you put quotes around them and write someone's name after them.

In other words, spot on!

The court of public opinion is quick to judge.

My draw was faster than yours this time.
