For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
I really like Ricky Gervais in general, the invention of lying was great. And I really liked the episode of extras with Patrick Stewart. I realize it’s an act and Karl probably does owe his career to Ricky but it’s pretty awful how they never give him the benefit of the doubt. He is really quite dumb though, but in a really relatable way, like he’s some kind of neurodivergent right?
