Good times

Heller funny as you would expect from this trio. Ricky’s infectious laugh and Karl’s ridiculous but secretly accurate ways of looking at the world, makes for great listening.

This is gold.

Ricky Gervais' llaugh needs to be a ring tone. Carl Pinkington is a breath of society.

Non-stop laughter

This by no means brings any intellectual insight into any of the interesting life topics covered, however it is absolutely hilarious if you enjoy the likes of Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant poking fun at Karl Pilkington's minimal knowledge and hilarious, innocent, child-like opinions and views of the world. I highly enjoyed giggling on the train listening to this, very funny group of men. 10 thumbs up.

Giggling idiots

This title did not entertain, it only annoyed. I did not have one laugh, one smile or even one moment of amusement. I respect the intelligent comedy of Ricky Gervais, but unfortunately there was none of that in evidence here. Just three guys laughing inanely at their own jokes.

Crass, unfunny, idiotic

I’m new to audiobooks but having finished the one we were listening to in the car thought this might be entertaining. I’ve heard of Ricky Gervais but never seen any of his programmes. If this is typical I won’t be trying any more.

Did not enjoy

I did not enjoy this series at all. I tried to get into it but Audible recommendation but it was not interesting or a good story to follow along in general.
