Ricky Gervais

Do you know him? I like him! In Japan, he's not as popular as in Europe. What's a sad fact!

Ricky Gervais is an English comedian (I think he's a genius for comedy). The Office and the series Extras... I love his work! My first time watching him was a few years ago. I've watched him in a TV series; "The Office". That shocked me because of its humour. I've never experienced such laughter since I was born. He attracts me and I have become a big fan since then. The Office is my most favorite situation comedy (Its humour is a little bit different from "Monty Python's Flying Circus").

Thanks to Japanese subtitles, I can understand its humour. However that's not enough. It means, though that I can certainly enjoy it with Japanese subtitles, but I want to understand it more and more directly in British English. That's why I think it has a lot of double entendres that I haven't found yet in the episodes. It's impossible for translators to express these double meanings in subtitles, limited to the number of characters per line. For understanding all this humour including The Office, I have to learn British English and British culture. It's interspersed with a great number of unconscious gags.

The reason why I love The Office is that its story is not only funny but also moving. It's complicated to explain... As you are the one that has already watched it, you understand what I want to say). I want to visit Wernham Hogg paper merchants in Slough to take a shufti at David Brent!!
