Great Extras!

 

Today I want to talk about two shows that I love that have ended but they are really funny. The first one is Extras (it's a show about extras if you haven't caught on yet) starring, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais. I like this show because it bounces from traditional sitcom to mockumentary and it has all these serious actors in it, like Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, making fun of themselves. This show takes icons and turns them into twisted and crazy versions of themselves. Patrick Stewart, for instance, is almost exactly like Stan's crazy boss that he plays on American Dad. And Sir Ian.....just watch the clip. 'Cause that's called acting...apparently.

   

The next show is called Spy and it is about a divorced man who is really trying to be a good dad to his son but just comes off as an idiot. He takes what he thinks a job placement test but it is really the entrance exam for MI6 agents and passes! So begins his quest to being a parent his son respects. I like this show because it was an unexpected journey. I found this show by accident, I read the description, saw a trailer, I knew the title should've given the plot away, but...I was still not sure how it was going to play out and be funny. But it does and you should definitely check it out my darlings. Enjoy!
