I remember watching a scene by scene comparison between the UK and US versions of the Office.
The US version felt a lot more lighthearted, like everyone was having a bit of a laugh, but it was all in good fun. The UK version was almost painful to watch, it really felt like watching workplace bullying.
And Gervais was a big part of that, every scene he was in just wasn’t funny to watch.

Mostly that he’s a transphobe, he’s also one of those tedious “free speech absolutists”, and I’ve personally always just found him annoying
oh alright, thxx
He’s also just not funny, which is a problem for a comedian.
He’s so unfunny he just sucks the humour out of any scene he’s in.
