I love rewatching this and seeing jokes I missed the first time.. this time it was the homeless man scene. Maggie had said that maybe the homeless guy reads Heat magazine as that's how he could have recognised Andy.. Andy is incredulous about that possibility, but at the end of the encounter, the homeless guy mentions Andy's aftershave, and states that Vernon Kay wears the same, meaning the homeless guy definitely reads Heat as there is a 'How Celebrities Smell' section letting the public know what aftershaves they wear XD

Is there a link to this and the next episode?

LOL I do agree man, thanks for the insight. I really loved this episode, and it was a it different than the others. I keep hearing Afterlife is good I look forward to checking it out soon hopefully.

I find this episode is a little darker in some ways. On the one hand Andy is really begging for a reality check to be brought down a peg or two. But then on the other hand, to have a whole room full of people. Most of which he doesn't know, berate him so savagely moves from cringe funny to something a lot darker. It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. What I love about Ricky is that he isn't a one trick pony. He doesn't just churn out one style slightly reformatted to have the appearance of something new. Where as The Office and Extras are quite similar in that they are both cringe comedy with a very honest unflinching style. But also with real touch of heart. He follows up with Derek and Afterlife which are still very Ricky but aren't afraid to be dip their toes a little deeper in the drama pond. I personally think Afterlife is the best thing he has ever done. But you can't reallly compare the shows against each other as they all have something very different to offer.

Oh ok thanks man I will have to see if I can find one of the XFM clips.

I love the homeless guy recognising him. Such a throwback to the XFM days where he'd talk about homeless people recognising him from The Office, so they had to have been watching it in shop windows

LOL that was hilarious =]

Barry and Darren the agent trying to harmonise during the song is one of my favourite parts of the series 😂

After Work Reactions

LOL true, I do feel a bit bad for him.

After Work Reactions

Bowie is awesome for sure man. LOL I haven't seen that but I have seen a clip of Mrs. Brown's Boys a while ago.

I have seen one clip of Mrs Brown's Boys a while ago.

After Work Reactions

After Work Reactions

After Work Reactions

After Work Reactions

Tay loves him too.

After Work Reactions

Did it end up playing for you man?

Richard

It's funny and I love the cringe but you can't help feeling sorry for Andy with the whole place singing and basically laughing at him. I do like the story of extras as it develops.

I knew that woman in the VIP area with Bowie looked familiar, she was one of the women Matt Berry flirts with in the Snuff Box boyfriend sketches!

God I love Bowie, he really was a one of kind legend. Great episode. No, you couldn't pay me to watch When the Wind Blows. as others have said its a proto-mrs browns boys. A show that is a fantastic indicator of intelligence. Gotta say as well I think Steve is really underrated as an actor and writer. Ricky gets all the glory but I feel Steve is better.

I only recognised him at first by his voice. He's so much thinner here!

Dan

👍

Claire Prowse

David Earl is great in this! (Weird guy at the bar) Prepare to see him lots more when you get around to see "Derek" fab reaction as always 💓 xxx I love 'extras' mondays!!

Steve King

This was aired in 2006. Ironically, the BBC had a massive hit 5 years later with a sitcom called "Mrs Brown's Boys" which featured a guy in a silly wig, dressed as a woman in a show full of inuendo

Dave P

Ah don't get it...

Love your channel, Josh. The laugh, the shirts, the videos - brilliant.

Its official Maggie is the worst wing woman in history 😂 I love this epsiode, it's mainly known as the Bowie episode as youd expect. But the episode as a whole is great, Andy struggling with fame and thinking he has the 'wrong' kind of fame and fans. But ultimately realising he doesnt fit in the high end celeb world and embraces his fans for what they are.
