Along with creating The Office and Extras, British comedian Ricky Gervais is famous on the internet for his podcast, as show where he sits around with friends Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington and riffs about whatever crosses his mind (the shows are probably scripted, but have an improvisational feel). Since a television show of them sitting and talking would be boring, they came up with the idea of doing an animated series of it for HBO. The result is generally hilarious, particularly once you get used to the way the three so rapidly riff off each other. The continuing gag of Monkey News is worth the price alone.
