2025-09-27 22:46:35 +0000 UTCI really hope you are reunited with your cat. It’s a terrible feeling to lose a pet xx

2025-09-20 10:18:32 +0000 UTCChinese, Japanese, Don't forget to wash your knees 🤣 damn, my father said this when I was a child and stuck ever since, never knowing it's a racist thing until I grew up... absolutely diabolical ☠️💀

Gary Hall
2025-09-19 20:58:35 +0000 UTCJess’s reaction of slowly being consumed by her chair was just hilarious! You’re going to love this show it really is excellent. The writing is just so strong. There’s a good argument that it’s the best thing to come out of the Gervais media empire. I am so hyped this is being reacted to and excited to see what you’ll make of each episode. We all need to be strict on this one re spoilers but it might be worth doing a cursory Wikipedia on Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones who feature in the next episode to get a reasonable enough context of episode 2

2025-09-19 20:50:04 +0000 UTCYou should let the closing song play out for no other reason than it's awesome

2025-09-19 20:14:12 +0000 UTCYou missed SM driving the Tank
Gary Hall
2025-09-19 20:10:00 +0000 UTCIt’s already on the schedule. Coming in November I believe.
Julian
2025-09-19 07:39:48 +0000 UTChoping you do after life one day, for me one of ricky's best and i think you would both love it!
Francis DJ
2025-09-18 19:35:48 +0000 UTClol my great uncle had the same issue with his leg and had to wear one big shoe. His was even more severe.
Kayleigh
2025-09-18 18:20:30 +0000 UTCHope your cat gets found 🩷
Kayleigh
2025-09-18 17:39:57 +0000 UTCSo glad you've started on Extras and that you 'get it' .......This show is one of our favourite comedies of all time, and we still laugh at it every time we watch it. Its such a brilliant premise, getting the rich and famous to portray themselves as complete fruit loops, but behind it all, there is a really touching story, of friendship between Andy and Maggie. I guarantee you there will be tears on the final feature length Christmas Special.
Jules & Kev Morrissey
2025-09-18 17:16:43 +0000 UTCYay Extas. I bought the box sets years ago when it came out on dvd. 👻😸sorry about your cat. Hope it comes back soon.

2025-09-18 13:12:49 +0000 UTCBen in friends is the best
scott o'neill
2025-09-18 10:29:12 +0000 UTCI always mention DEREK but everyone on here says not good and voted to watch AFTERLIFE which is worst thing he done i think
Col Boro
2025-09-18 08:59:53 +0000 UTCWatch the bloopers!!! Hope your cat is ok guys ❤️
Ally A
2025-09-18 08:58:21 +0000 UTCAll of them were written and directed by Ricky and Stephen!
Spencer Chou
2025-09-18 06:42:09 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for you to meet Andy Millman’s agent 👀👀😂😂
DG
2025-09-18 06:33:18 +0000 UTCA good tip for finding your cat, go out rly late at night like 2 am with some treats and do concentric circles outward from your home. They tend to stick close but may be too scared to come out in the day. Good luck guys, losing a cat is the terrible.
ArtVandalHey!
2025-09-18 02:31:41 +0000 UTCOoh extras! Does this mean derek next 🤩 You should watch rickys outtakes from all of his different series, they are absolute gold to watch. Is only fools on a break now 😢?
Mark E
2025-09-18 02:27:49 +0000 UTCThe exccuses not to go part is so accurate, omg
Jamie Derry
2025-09-18 01:52:19 +0000 UTCYeah Stephen has an emotional intelligence that Ricky clearly lacks. Both the Extras and Office do the "make you laugh, then make you cry" thing very well. Ricky tries to do the same thing with solo projects like Derek and After Life and it comes off ham-fisted, melodramatic, and clumsy.
ArtVandalHey!
2025-09-18 01:36:07 +0000 UTCHope your cat comes back soon. I once had a cat that was missing for days and it returned like nothing even happened, hope it's the same for you.
Kelvan
2025-09-18 01:24:27 +0000 UTCThis show is the best Ricky show. If you thought you couldn’t get more cringe than The Office, you thought wrong! An absolute GOAT
Nathan Wilson
2025-09-18 00:44:30 +0000 UTCa goated show. each eisode features hollywood royalty being destroyed. merchant won awards for his chaacter in season 2. jess school story i had aswell lol chinese japenese, il not give any clues away. love your reactions mike and maggie, sorry, i mean jess
Gerard McCartan
2025-09-18 00:24:43 +0000 UTCThere is a bit of magic when Ricky and Stephen write together. Their solo stuff isn’t as good (especially Ricky’s IMO) but The Office and Extras are near perfect. Of their solo stuff, The Outlaws by Stephen is probably the next best
Robert Carter
2025-09-18 00:14:15 +0000 UTCI really hope your beloved cat returns healthy.
Leeroy Jenkins
2025-09-18 00:08:11 +0000 UTCExtras is a great show but I’m missing OFAH already. Prayers for Presley 🙏
Col
2025-09-17 23:35:01 +0000 UTCyou really listen to the fans huh, love to see it and hope you enjoy it as much as I did hope Presley is okay
Alex Thompson
2025-09-17 23:18:10 +0000 UTCThis run of shows has been incredible, all of my favourites back to back 💙
Scott Wilson
2025-09-17 23:18:05 +0000 UTCOh hi Sean.
Alan
2025-09-17 23:02:00 +0000 UTCI hope you're cat is found safe Mike, it's one of the worst feelings loosing a pet🙏 What a great show, that's the most unhinged Ben Stiller I have ever seen 🤣, I'm definitely looking forward to more extras.
Mark R
2025-09-17 22:43:04 +0000 UTCThis is one show where the out takes are an ABSOLUTE MUST once you're done.
Mark McKeown
2025-09-17 22:37:30 +0000 UTCOh my god great I’m so happy Love this show
Stu
2025-09-17 22:36:46 +0000 UTCMy favourite Ricky Gervais work ever, adore this show.
James Waters
2025-09-17 22:20:32 +0000 UTCEvery person who cameos on this is a legend. Watch out for what he says to Kate Winslet in her episode and then his shout out to her at the Oscars years later.
Kenneth Swan
2025-09-17 22:09:23 +0000 UTCI love Extras, such a funny show. If you ever watched Ugly Betty you’ll have seen Ashley Jensen (Maggie) before.
Richard
2025-09-17 22:04:32 +0000 UTCAs someone that works as an extra is absolutely spot on
Kieran B
2025-09-17 21:55:23 +0000 UTCHope Presley makes it home safe mate. As a cat man too, I feel your pain. Re the show...As a past extra myself (with appearances in most movies and TV shows - including the original Harry Potter films) I can tell you both that this is honestly exactly how it is on set. Probably one of the most realistic representations ever...and its a classic show. I had a mate who was lucky enough to be an extra in this - I'm still jealous to this day!! Lol
Michael
2025-09-17 21:32:30 +0000 UTCI hope your cat comes back safe. I know you both will love extras and it will cheer you both up
Toby
2025-09-17 21:21:34 +0000 UTCThis wasn't so bad back in the day, but big Mike kicking it aff with his missing cat? Absolute nightmare.
Andy
2025-09-17 21:17:12 +0000 UTCSo happy you guys are doing extras, people will think I'm crazy but it's probably my favourite show from Gervais it's so underrated.
Mo
2025-09-17 21:16:12 +0000 UTCSorry your cat is missing, I hope Presley turns up alright. <3
Athan Immortal
2025-09-17 21:05:58 +0000 UTCThe outtakes for this show are brilliant. Be sure to check them out after you've finished the show :)
Dave Beverley
2025-09-17 21:02:04 +0000 UTCor just a bit of research on all the guest celebrities before each episode.

jamestoni
2025-09-17 20:38:34 +0000 UTCExtras is fantastic you'll love it the further you get into it. I hope you find your cat I am an animal person too. Fingers crossed she returns soon
Central Hub
2025-09-17 20:30:25 +0000 UTCI hope you can watch Derek. Its very funny
Gareth.S
2025-09-17 20:10:57 +0000 UTCKeeping everything crossed that Pressley comes home safe, our cat Austin went missing about 3 years ago, we were worried sick and then little shit then just casually came through the window in the early hours 5 days later like nothing had ever happened!!! ❤️
Matt Harwood
2025-09-17 20:04:21 +0000 UTCOhh I’ve never watched this before. Seen plenty of reels and so on. But never watched a full episode and I’ve always said I would. So looking forward to this
Mark Rudd
2025-09-17 20:03:22 +0000 UTCYou’re both in for a treat. ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUOeMtF_-bc

Dandelion
2025-09-17 19:43:28 +0000 UTCIt gets so much better 😊 I suggest you guys do a little bit of research on Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones before the next episode 👍
Dannythedoodle
2025-09-17 19:35:31 +0000 UTCYes !!!!!
richard bloor
2025-09-17 19:35:18 +0000 UTCHope your cat turns up OK Mike and Jess.
Fordy7169
2025-09-17 19:26:12 +0000 UTCDon't expect the person in the title to be in the episodes throughout as much ben Stiiler was in this. There's a couple of blink and you'll miss them ones. FYI 'Ross Kemp' in ep2 was an actor in the massive UK soap opera 'Eastenders' in which he played an unlikeable tough guy car mechanic.
Fordy7169
2025-09-17 19:25:33 +0000 UTCWhile I do like The Office, I prefer Extra's. It's a genius setting that allows stars to come in for an episode. If your not keen on one it doesn't matter, because they'll be another person next week.
Joanna
2025-09-17 19:18:36 +0000 UTCI really hope your cat comes home, i would feel the same and probably wouldn’t be able to function well at all until they return home.
James Ellison
2025-09-17 19:14:30 +0000 UTCWait for Barry

Dan
2025-09-17 19:06:19 +0000 UTCabsolute banger of a show :) 👍
TheHigh
2025-09-17 19:04:41 +0000 UTCMike, you need to save that hat for future episodes of OFAH when a character called Mickey (almost a namesake) Pearce arrives on the scene. 😉
Tom
2025-09-17 19:03:09 +0000 UTCExtras, yes!! Can't wait to watch this, but I'm still a couple weeks behind being up to date with your content. Steve Merchant as the agent is one of the greatest characters of all time, he's so good. And the celeb guests are all really good sports for playing such wild versions of themselves. If you want a bit of context in advance for some of the UK celebs that you might not have heard of, I'm sure people will be happy to fill you in. Much love guys, hope everything turns out ok.
Dextrous (Lewis)
2025-09-17 18:56:00 +0000 UTCIncredible first episode. You think that was cringey? Just you wait!
Jay Walker
2025-09-17 18:55:04 +0000 UTCI've been searching the entire neighborhood for days. Talked to every neighbor there is to talk to.
RegenerationNationTV
2025-09-17 18:54:15 +0000 UTCSo it will get the entire episode hit and pulled down just for 30 seconds of audio? Is it similar like that? 😅
RegenerationNationTV
2025-09-17 18:53:11 +0000 UTCTrying to watch both your reactions at the racist bit was brilliant 😂
Adam Newton
2025-09-17 18:49:53 +0000 UTCWohoo, been waiting for this. If you skipped bloopers for The Office, you can't skip them for this series. They're so good.
Suixamoht
2025-09-17 18:49:45 +0000 UTCThinking of you mate ❤️

2025-09-17 18:48:25 +0000 UTCOmg yesssss this show is genius
Ethan furness
2025-09-17 18:48:17 +0000 UTCOh Mike ! I hope you find your cat. I have a cat and I adore him so I will pray for Presley’s return . Maybe ask neighbours to check their sheds ? My cat snuck in a shed once
Erica
2025-09-17 18:48:05 +0000 UTCI’m so glad you’re doing this show.
Joe Tomen
2025-09-17 18:46:28 +0000 UTCAgreed. This is the only thing i pay for. I dont pay for any other pay to view content. Jess and mike are worth every penny.

joshdixonCFC
2025-09-17 18:44:35 +0000 UTCI’m glad you enjoyed the first episode. One tip, the music over the closing credits is akin to the opening credits music from the office.
Dave Henshall
2025-09-17 18:43:01 +0000 UTCI cant wait until they see them. Those characters are absolutely hilarious. They also make the show what it is.
james mcloughlin
2025-09-17 18:40:56 +0000 UTCI haven't seen this for ages. I guess Steve doesn't appear until episode 2
James Aston
2025-09-17 18:36:36 +0000 UTCand love that you love it! I've kissed Cameron Diaz, I've slapped Jennifer Aniston's ass. It still counts, OK?
Alan
2025-09-17 18:35:53 +0000 UTCI think Presley is a fantastic name for a cat. I wish I'd thought of it myself, for obvious reasons
ElvisLee
2025-09-17 18:29:10 +0000 UTC“Bye nerd” was the moment Jess fell in love with this show ❤️😂 Massively thinking of you too Mike and sending prayers for Presley 🙏🏻 you give us all a boost when we’re struggling with stuff or feeling down and I hope that feeling the love and support from your community gives you a boost when you need it, I loved that this show brought you laughter when you needed it and as always, we’re standing with you brother! ❤️
Johnny
2025-09-17 18:17:49 +0000 UTCSending you positive wishes for Presley's safe return. I remember my childhood cat disappeared for 5 days. We thought he was gone for good, but he was found hiding under a neighbour's bed for all that time. Cats do like to go "walkabout" occasionally, so don't give up hope.
Jay
2025-09-17 18:15:14 +0000 UTCYou wait. Steve Merchant’s character and Barry are probably the funniest characters in all of these shows.
Anthony Weston

2025-09-17 18:08:39 +0000 UTCLove this show. Come home soon Presley x
Rachie
2025-09-17 18:08:09 +0000 UTCThis is new to me too, so I’m excited to watch this with you. I don’t do prayers, but I’m thinking of you both and sending positive vibes. I hope Presley turns up soon guys 🤞🏼 xx
Emma Edwards
2025-09-17 18:03:57 +0000 UTCI love this show, so it's great to have an excuse to watch it yet again!

John M Whalen
2025-09-17 17:46:12 +0000 UTCI'm guessing streaming services put this as ep 1 so Americans can relate to the American actor? But what's weird is that Netflix in the UK also have this as ep1.
Russell Thomas

Chris Duggan
2025-09-17 17:38:07 +0000 UTCFirstly guys, sorry to hear about your cat - hopefully she's found safe and sound soon. Appreciate that you guys swap shows on a rotation at the end of each series and so OFAH and Still Game aren't present this week and I love Extras so happy to be seeing it come in as well. Only thing I'd say though is that in the case of both of OFAH and Still Game, the Christmas special episodes are often considered as the last episode of each series rather than sort of stand alone episodes so I'd always include any Xmas specials between the end of one series and the start of the next as the final piece of that series you've been reacting to and include them in the lineup before rotating towards another show :)
Craig
2025-09-17 17:33:26 +0000 UTCI knew you would love this show haha, and i knew Jess would love Maggie.

Luke Gale9
2025-09-17 17:28:58 +0000 UTCOkay, I did post a couple of times that this is Episode 2 of the series, and hence should be watched second. No matter! When you watch the next episode you'll see Andy's situation better explained and another main character introduced!
Captain Cardboard
2025-09-17 17:28:49 +0000 UTCSteve kills it in this series, I'd watch a lot more of his agent character, talented chap at comedy acting, even tho he's not in this one. Simple Jess bahahahah. Both tried to shrink disappear and contract into nothing at the same time, hilarious.
emu cat
2025-09-17 17:28:41 +0000 UTCYou guys are really on the grind with some great shows! Keep up the great work! Thankyou both!!

Daryl Layton
2025-09-17 17:27:04 +0000 UTCHello Mike and Jess, I'm Jamie, I'm 42 and from the North of England. Been following you guys for a while on youtube and a few months on here, but first time commenting. Just want to say I love you both dearly, and as an old school northerner, the highest compliment I can give you is I would love you both to be my neighbours. Anyway I am very excited for this journey, personally i think the 2 specials for this are even better than the office specials, i hope you are both ready to cry again haha. Anyway keep doing what you are doing guys ❤️
Jamie Chadaj
2025-09-17 17:25:48 +0000 UTCI know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think extras is Ricky gervais’ best TV series
Drjones22
2025-09-17 17:25:23 +0000 UTCYou guys are absolutely killing it! I've seen reaction channels in the past be unsuccessful at managing different series and pleasing different fans. You've hit it out the park, more than happy to pay every month.
Keatan Forrest
2025-09-17 17:24:24 +0000 UTCWoohoo!

2025-09-17 17:18:45 +0000 UTCI thought it was just the first two swapped around. It doesn’t really matter anyway.

Vee
2025-09-17 17:17:40 +0000 UTCThat will be the next upload I’m sure. Extras is in the Tuesday slot, they’re just a bit behind.
Julian
2025-09-17 17:15:54 +0000 UTCAnother great Steve and Ricky collaboration. Full of cringe and heart at times. Keep an eye out for a special cameo by a certain hairless manc fella later on. ( that's not a spoiler just incase some randy gets salty) . Thanks for this.
Gary
2025-09-17 17:15:36 +0000 UTCI really feel for you Mike and Jess with regard to your beloved Presley.. That is so worrying. I turn to your humour and to comedy shows for solace when I'm anxious which is a lot recently. So I hope that your reactions do give you that short-lived relief too. We are all here with you around the world. Love from London.

2025-09-17 17:07:46 +0000 UTCThere’s some ambiguity about which is the first episode. This is the first broadcast in the USA, but I believe it’s the third in the UK originally, but for US audiences it made sense to start with Stiller, and to be fair it doesn’t affect the storyline much if at all. When I first watched I think this was listed as episode 1 as well
