      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.

        I enjoy some of his work, but the guy himself is always just being an asshole to somebody, and not in like a fun Blackadder way. It’s just mean and unpleasant.

          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.
