After Work Reactions

Awesome man thanks for sharing!

2:14 - Nice cameo from Mark Kermode - one of Britain's best film critics heavily influenced by Siskel and Ebert.

Love this episode and great reaction. My girlfriend can't physically watch the last scene because she can't cope with the cringe/uncomfortableness

@ Andy: This is an excellent idea. (I'm also very impressed that you named ALL of my favourites and none of the ones I never liked. And also Tim Vine.)

Adam McLaughlan

Don't miss the Christmas Special, buddy!

Andy

Really enjoyed this episode and your reaction to it! Have you considered a poll for a reaction to stand-up comedy? The UK has a ton of great comedians whose stand-up shows I think would be up your street in terms of their style and topics. They’d also make good reaction videos too (whereas several of the shows on the last poll are funny but wouldn’t necessarily be good for an audience to watch you react to in a full half-hour video). Examples would be Lee Evans, Jimmy Carr, Romesh Ranganathan, Tim Vine, James Acaster, Kevin Bridges, Paul Chowdhry, Greg Davies, Jack Dee, Micky Flanagan, Rhod Gilbert, Russell Howard, Lee Mack, Jason Manford, Stewart Lee, Milton Jones, Al Murray, and of course Ricky Gervais. Not to mention a ton of folks who aren’t from the UK originally but who have based their entire career here: Tom Stade, Craig Campbell, Stewart Francis, Katherine Ryan (all Canadian), etc. I’d have thought it would be fairly easy to use a free online “random picker” to choose a name from the list and then you could watch a 10 min video to react to, for example. I’d be happy to compile a list of links if you were interested, that others could add to. Just thought it might be an easy way to pre-record 10 videos in a day and be able to have them drop over Christmas and Thanksgiving, to give you a bit of well-earned time off!

There is also a extras Christmas special that's roughly a hour long just to let you know.

Magnet Hand

Yeah don't miss the Xmas special. Properly concludes the show.

Christmas special is the last one and it’s bloody brilliant TV.

Leon Tallis

My favourite episode. “George, can you get us some vaseline?”

Ryan Lynch

Ignore me. Just found it further down. Doh.

Ryan Lynch

The Les Dennis episode isnt working. Is there a google link to the reaction?

Corey

Love this episode. Yes to the Christmas special. Also could you react to the full video of bloopers from season 1 and 2 (I know you've seen some clips). They are so funny .

Andrew

It might be a good idea if we could add a few different shows to the next poll,as I think there might be more popular shows not on the list,that might win the voting ahead of the one's that lost the previous vote ,I would like to nominate "Taskmaster" "One Foot In The Grave" "Men Behaving Badly" "Keeping Up Appearances" and my personal favourite would be "Jonathan Creek" to the list if possible and if anyone has any further suggests to add here too

Michael

Damn you laughed a lot at this one lmao, This has to be one of my favourites. and i cant wait for the new line of shows coming to AWR

Ash Jeffries

One of my favourite episodes of Extras! I think certainly the funniest! I actually forgot this one when I listed the leftover episodes a couple of weeks back, ironically when I consider it as my second favourite episode (the Christmas Special finale is my absolute favourite. I can't wait for you to see that.) Even more ironic when I consider that of all the guest stars seen on Extras, Ian McKellen is the only one I've actually met in person! :-D He's a lovely guy, properly down to earth and funny! Jonathan Ross is next week and once again I'd advise you look him up before you see it but also look up Robert Lindsay and his sitcoms My Family and Citizen Smith for a bit of context. Doesn't spoil anything but should help you appreciate some of the references for the next episode! :-D Thanks Josh - terrific reaction as ever!

Peter

Think you were right the first time, Alan Partridge is filling this slot, as referenced in your last post, unless you’ve changed your mind.

Michael Harrop

This episode is brilliantly funny from start to finish! Andy choking on the sparkling water absolutely killed me the first time I saw it.

You have The Christmas special as well, which is the best episode of Extras. It also has a racist joke in it that you will not understand that is golden. A woman Called Jade Goody was on Big Brother and said some racist stuff to an Indian woman.... they make a doll of her on Extras saying two racist slogans.... its GOLD! I never laughed so much.

Michael Harrop

You have 2 episodes left, you cant miss the series finale it wraps everything up perfectly!

Claire Prowse

"It's like 'deliverance' in 'ere" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 fab episode...your disgusted face when Steve was fiddling with the toilet...I was pulling the exact same face!!😜

Wilss

There are actually 2 episodes of extras left after this one, just so you know.

Diesel

Are you gonna do the Christmas Special episode too? It's a must-watch to round off the Extras series!
