From the satirical to the silly, this is masterful stuff
Excruciatingly, bowel-achingly funny
This is brilliant! Very funny, go and buy it, watch it over and over! You will never listen to 'Humpty Dumpty' in the same way again! Gervais is side spittingly funny in this DVD. He pretty much plays the David Brent character, which of course we all love.
The only 'problem' with this title was, it just wasn't long enough! Then again I think if it were 6 hours it still wouldn't be long enough! Very good, we will be buying it, definitely!
This was very disappointing, there are some funny jokes, but it is Gervais' tendency to 'overdo' and prolong jokes (which were not very funny in the first place) that really made this dvd tiresome to watch. The title Politics is an overreaching attempt to make the comic's content appear to be more clever than it really is. Instead of political satire, Gervais preoccupies most of his routine with personal references to his limited life experience. According to Gervais the comedy of 'politics' amounts to little more than ridiculing other races, disabled people and homosexuals. Although these subjects offer opportunities for amusing gags, this dvd does little to contribute towards originality.
