Is he too into himself?

>>79320505

he has a face for radio.

>>79320532
Doesn't help when they struggle to get his entire self in the shot.

Yes. I felt sorry for Karl when Steve made fun of him for a Manc. He's full of himself yet he hasn't done anything good since The Office.

He's also fuck ugly.

I don't think he's too bad looking, he's just a bit lanky.
Also didn't he win an award for his role in Portal 2?

his "comedy" is just nasty bitter putdowns and cringe situations.he couldnt write a decent joke to save his life.

Like Gervais he is a bit of a pseudo-intellectual knob yes, but on top of that he is also a nu-male whereas Gervais isn't

I'm really curious as to how he performs in Logan.

>>79320621
Aw no, really? Like the "nods respectfully towards you" type?

>>79320505
>he is too untalented

>>79320621
How is he a nu-male? Because he wears glasses and has a beard?

Maybe a britfriend can help me, what kind of accent/dialect does Steve have?

Yes.
His stories about either not being recognized/ respected because he writes and plays pretend for a living screams "do you know who I am?" Syndrome.
Also he's always been Ricky's sidekick and would be no where without him (and Karl) so his ego is further unwarranted as he isn't very talented, or funny.
Lucky for him, he allied himself well before anyone was famous so he's set up for life, which further inflated his ego.

I wish he'd suffer something cripplingly embarrassing publically, and go away forever.

he is so ugly that looking at him for too long makes me feel sick.

>>79320666
no, but despite being tall, famous and relatively rich he doesn't do well with women, and he is very passive-aggressive, gets his kicks from making snide remarks and insinuations but would shit himself if someone became aggressive towards him (even though he is like 6'5)

Just generally bit of a weak bitchy guy, a nu-male

>>79320758
Now don't get me wrong, those aren't admirable traits by all means, but does that really make you a nu-male? I always thought it was the look combined with being the stand-offish white knight beta that was the traits?

Well he has the nu-male look...

Just my opinion here, but I don't equate it with just politics , for me nu-male is a term for weak, passive-aggressive guys who have trouble embracing their masculinity, a product of the millennial generation being taught it's toxic. They are usually leftist and support feminism in hope it will get them sex, but not always.

Nu males tend to be leftys. Which Steve has never struck me as:

I've been re-lostening to the XFM shows recently and in one episode they make fun of the people out in streets protesting the Iraq war and how it's not gonna do anything. I would love to see them riff on the recent happenings. New radio show when?

How much you wanna bet Steve is in this thread trying to make himself look not so bad.

>>79321003
Depends what Ricky and Karl are doing nowadays.

>>79320811

Now he's rich, famous and matured, sure. But back in the XFM days when he was in his late 20s and largely unknown to the general public, he was an insecure loser.

Unlikely. We'd see him coming a mile away.

>>79320862
That doesn't really equate to Steve Merchant at all though, he's not a millennial, and clearly doesn't feel as self entitled as other nu-males, he's just an ugly tall weirdo who runs a (bad) comedy routine off his unsuccessful attempts to attract women.

Stephen was the talent. Was always the talent.

No, he's entirely too much into doctor Cooper to the point that he barely cares about himself in that context.

Had a summer job delivering post. Driving around just listening to the xfm shows in the sun for 8 hours a day getting paid to laugh and get tan. Best summer ever.

>Karl: No I did play Portal 2 Steve, I did. Just found it a bit weird.
>Steve: Sure. Sure. It's a quirky game, as intended.
>Karl: Oh no I know, I know it's meant to be odd and that. But still I found it... the robot bloke you voiced... just found it a bit weird.
>Ricky: Yeah it's all supposed to be weird, innit?
>Steve: Well what do you mean, Karl?
>Karl: Nah it's just... y'know. I was having a go at the two player stuff with Suzanne. You play as a tall robot and a little fat robot, yeah?
>Steve: Well I had nothing to do with the development of the multiplayer mode but sure.
>Karl: Yeah, and I hadn't played the one player stuff yet, so... and these two player robots, they don't talk. So I was waiting for them to talk, and I just... found it a bit weird.
>Ricky: WHAT!? What did you find weird, you dopey twat!?
>Karl: Nah, I just... I was wondering when I was gonna hear your voice pop up, y'know? And I was playing as the tall robot. Really tall. And he only has one eye, but it's pretty large and googly... Steve.
>Ricky: AAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAHHAAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAA!
>Karl: Hold on Rick, Steve knows I'm not having a go. You know I'm not having a go, Steve. Just found it a bit weird you voiced a little round robot in the end, that's all.
>Steve: Sure. Sure. Because Wheatley was a smooth, round sphere with a dangerously low IQ, and they should have called you in Karl.
>Ricky: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH play a record.

>>79321264
He's done him in page form!

>>79320572
Yeah but he still banged Hayley Atwell and some Victoria's Secret model

Wish he would get past the "bitter loser" character. It was funny on XFM when he was next to Gervais, but by now he's as rich and as famous as Ricky was then (if not more so).

Karl was right tbf

Steve is very witty and he played the straight man of XFM really well, even rolling with the punches when Ricky stirred shit between him and Karl. Anyone who isn't autistic can see that Karl was always much more petty than Steve, but it was all for entertainment at the end of the day.

That said, Ricky and Steve insulting Lord of the Rings is easily the worst thing they've ever done. Steve especially had a nerd complex back then that made him extra critical of the 'nerdlingers' he was so desperate to distance himself from.

>>79320836
>pretty decent looking tbp
No, he's uncomfortable to look at, his grin is frightening, and he cannot grow facial hair that doesn't look like shrinking pubes.

It's funny that of the three Karl looks the most like a human being and least like a Spitting Image puppet.

Steve is the wittiest of the three. Remove any one person and the show would be the worst off without him

>>79326971
I thought the show was still quite good with that smackhead Claire Sturgess instead of Karl

>>79320621
Ricky isn't really a psudeo-intellectual. He comes off as one more than he really is, it's more his character imo. Through his work like The office and Derek you see his more human and intellectual side, that doesn't come through when he's mocking celebrities on the Golden globes.

>>79321029
Yeah, I'm just listening to the show where he's bitching about not getting invited to Ricky's birthday party. Also he says how he's jealous of gay men for being able to just have unconditional sex and wish he could do that.

CHRIST DE BURG

>>79325639
This is brilliant. Even if it's fake it doesn't matter considering some really hilarious parts of the podcast were clearly scripted.

>>79325912

>>79320758

>>79321793
>I was legitimately embarassed by how big of a limpdick he was on the Norm MacDonald podcast
And Norm realising how much of a pussy he was going to be so he starts fucking with him. Constantly bringing up Ricky Gervais's success. Man I laughed so hard during that podcast.

>>79320505
Brehs he is literally more than a foot taller than me

>>79325639
I was strongly discouraged when I realized this is fake

>>79327431
Years of recorded conversations between him, Ricky, and Karl?

>>79327757
It's a show. They act.

>>79327776
As I said. Years! It's not just the podcasts. Radio show, interviews, TV shows, award shows. What are you talking about?

I swear to god I'm going to quit this show

>>79320505
absolutely

both him and ricky gervais are obnoxiously narcissistic

i don't know how anyone can stand them

>>79326806

im sure that was no accident

>>79321683

OH I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S WRITTEN IT DOWN AGAIN

>>79320758
>>79327431

He is exactly right. Though I haven't listened much to the podcast with Karl, Ricky and Stephen because frankly I find everyone in that show but Karl intolerable, but from hearing him interview Louis CK and his appereance on the Norm McDonald podcast, this guy is so weak.

In the CK interview he just ruins everything with his weak attempt at riffing by tone-policing Louis everytime he says something politically incorrect or outrageous in a passive-aggressive snide way under the guise of humour, and in the Norm one all he did was "lol omg i apologize for saying something comedic, lol that was way out of line, sorry all PoC and muslims and transgenders xDDD"

>>79320621
He's just a literal Merchant. At least he isn't constantly trying to get goyim naked in front of the camera like other Jews so he's quite alright as far as Jews go imo.

The real question is should Karl have given that quarter back to Steve
And the answer is yes

>>79320621
But Merchant is actually an intellectual. He also has a great sense of humor about himself, and you can tell that he really doesn't think too highly of himself and is still a bit baffled by the whole celebrity thing.

He should give it back if Steve wants, it isn't for Karl to just decide something else he's done makes up for it, that's Steve's call because he's the one who's owed. This doesn't mean Steve isn't a huge cock sucker for not deciding a free crate of drinks from Karl doesn't more than make up the trivial amount of money he was owed.

>>79328725

Could be a joke, could be honest, but Steve said this in a podcast:

>Ricky: I assume everything's in proportion?
