- Extras is a British sitcom about a guy who is a professional extra in films and television programs. This clip features Patrick Stewart discussing the importance of script writing to an actor's career.
Hey guys. Just to address the resolution issues some of you have: I'm not being paid for this. I don't really have any obligations to provide you with quality entertainment. If you want to see this in HD, the internet is also good place to start shopping.
They can try to take this video down, but I've already seen everything.
Jeff K I've seen it all.
On the grass?
Lmao
Best.comment.ever.
And I'm watching it, like "Ahh" but you see, I've seen everything
“Her clothes fall off?” “Instantly.” The way he says that and without pause always gets a laugh out of me.
YES! Best second!! 😂Classic RG moment!! Genius!!
I love the immediate "sure" in response to. Just kills me lol
I love the ‘mainly’ in response to Andy’s statement that he just wants to see tits and stuff
It was because their clothes had all rotted off, didn't you listen?
Same thing happened to them in the bloopers 😂
As a filmmaker, one day my goal is to bring Sir Patrick’s bold vision to the silver screen.
... what will the plot be?
I’m pretty sure we’ve already seen everything
Already done
It's called "Picard" 🤣
@@slickninja2748 we've seen it all.
I’d so watch it
"It's a comedy, is it?"
"...No."
The deadpan delivery from Patrick for that 'No' is so good haha
Maybe that's where Captain Shaw got it from 😁
That's the best line.
You have to admire a man like Patrick Stewart. All that success, and that dignified poise... and he's perfectly happy not taking himself seriously and being utterly ridiculous.
Especially considering he used to be a very stiff actor that DID take him too seriously until his Star Trek co-stars helped loosen him up.
Mr Poo himself! 💩
@@TheSinlessAssassin you make it sound like the star trek crew went to town on patrick's ass.
@@TheDiamondSkye you make it sound like they didn’t
Yeah, to the point of playing literal shit in the Emoji movie.
"And her clothes fall off?"
"Instantly."
“Sure”
And she.. she doesn't know what's happening, but..
Underrated joke here: Stewart assuming the military helicopter has a rear view mirror.
I laughed at that, too haha
I proudly give you your 100th like, good sir XD
Also, he refers to the locker room as a "dressing room", because that's what actors use.
@@patrickt.6492 "dressing room" is the UK term for what we Americans call locker room," no joke.
He made it so
Extras was so, so incredibly good. I swear theres never been a better show.
This is probably the greatest 4 minutes in the history of television comedy. Patrick Stewart is an absolute legend.
He is a wanker. Stop praising celebrities you tool.
Certainly one of them...this was brilliant!
The skit with Liam Neeson trying to get into comedy is also one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
This is UA-cam. Pander harder: "... the greatest 4 minutes in the history of -television comedy- _any-and-all parallel universes."_ (ftfy)
1:16 "For instance, um, I'm walking along..." That bit right there kills me. I love how Stewart's script doesn't even bother to establish any context, subtext or even text to support the constant gratuitous nudity.
The George R.R. Martin school of screenwriting, lol.
@@yellowblanka6058
Yup, all scenes in GoT are centred around the scenes where there are exposed lady parts.
It all got fleshed out as background for those specific scenes.
It's called PWP.
He's already seen it all.
Well, the viewer doesn't necessarily get to see the gratuitous nudity; Just Patrick. And he's seen everything, so the viewer is irrelevant.
Reading Patrick Stewart's Memoirs, he mentions filming this scene. Apparently Ricky Gervais couldn't stop laughing at all, and Stephen Merchant had to stand in for him for much of it. Especially the way Patrick pronounced "knickers" really cracked Ricky up. Patrick writes "the two hours I spent with those guys, though, were one of the most fun times I have ever experienced in show business"
Ricky must be a nightmare to work with, entirely because he can't stop laughing. And, as annoying as it would get, his laughter is just too damned infectious =]
I get strong Leslie Nielson vibes here, taking a classically trained serious approach and doing it deadpan, it's brilliant
@@KingCrab85 Airplane was his first comedy role. His previous roles were all serious acting roles (Forbidden Planet, Poseidon Adventure). Zucker/Abrams/Zucker (writers of Airplane!) cast him because at the time, he was cast against type. Only after the success of Airplane did Nielsen forge a new career in comedies.
Surely you can't be serious?
I@@simonvanderirwinIam serious! And don't call me Shirley
@@kincaid7550good luck we are all counting on you 🍺🍻😜
but that's not important right now
I went to a Star Trek convention and asked Sir Patrick Stewart if any of that was improvised. He said it was entirely scripted, and that the show had absolutely brilliant writers.
By the time he realised it was scripted, he'd seen everything anyway so he wasn't bothered.
the best comedy is usually carefully written
@@Frank_Nemo He'd seen it all.
I love how they present all the special guests as so nice and normal at first but then they quickly descend into insanity
So true! This is a new layer from which to appreciate any rewatching.
They're all charicatures of the worst things people say about them. I'd never seen anything with Ross Kemp in it before I watched Extras. Imagine how blown away I was when I found out what he was like in real life. The guy really knew how to take the piss out of himself, and that's what makes this show great. They all aren't afraid to go in hard on themselves.
Hey, I thought Diana Rigg kept her sanity quite impressively when Danny Radcliffe smacked her in the face with his Johnny.
The Brits call it "taking the piss out of someone." It's the cornerstone of their comedy.
This scene is so genius. And when later in the episode he tells Maggie he's writing a movie and has a part for her! I just laugh my ass off!
Instantly
Sure
“Policewoman in park”
Everyone is praising Stewart in this scene but Gervais is hilarious too. His reaction is really what highlights the hilarity of what Stewart is saying. The two really played well off each other.
It is a truism in comedy that being the straight man is more difficult.
@@adgato75 certainly is for Gervais, have you seen the outtakes? ruined so many attempts!
You tried but no. That's not really a big thing. This is all Patrick.
The timing of the two of them is just brilliant.
have you seen the outtakes? he was pissing himself constantly lol
Anybody else have to come back and rewatch this scene now n then?
yes!
Every few years!
Yeah and I've seen everything!!!
Been coming back for many years lol. It never gets old and always puts a smile on my face😂
Yep, every few months. It's pure, deep fried gold.
Patrick Stewart's delivery on "mainly!" cracks me up every time.
I never knew Patrick Stewart was so good at comedy, lol
You saw a clip of him in Jeffrey?
/watch?v=ea7bj5MsyAU
Lord knows how many takes it would take me to pull some of this off without cracking up.
Ever watch Family Guy?
He's Avery Bullock on American Dad.
Acting.
+XenonSpark Yes, but he he said comedy.
"...on the grass."
Best bit. lol
This scene wouldn't even be half as funny if it were done by anyone other than Patrick Stewart.
On the grass.
Great scene, imagine Charles Dance also doing it though. Lol
He fully commits, that's why it is so funny.
Extras in a nutshell
I almost fell out of my chair when he said, "I will 'make it so.'" So amazing.
Again
I love it when serious actors commit 100% to a comedy bit. Every bit of it is perfect and fun to watch. Like his realization that Ricky didnt get the star trek reference.
"Instantly." I lost it.
Patrick's voice is so perfect, the automated captions actually understands him.
It's because he speaks clearly and almost slowly.
@@Galactipod he is a shakespearean actor after all, when youre working with a script thats almost written in (what amounts to) a dialect that nobody understands anymore youve got to
The way Stewart delivers that "no" is just brilliant.
Or instantly 😅😅
"Anyway, I get on my bike and I ride off. *On the grass.*"That and the disappointment on his face when Andy tells him that there's no nudity planned in his television show, or when he mentions that the nudity would be both men and women are my favorite parts of this hilarious bit.
And that a single man who lives alone doesn't watch Star Trek
for me it's just the instant .."instantly"
Patrick is so awesome. He plays the "dirty old man" card so bloody well.
"I ride away... On the grass!" That line always gets me. 😂😂😂
This has to be one of the all time great comedy scenes. Patrick Stewart's deadpan style works tremendously. Great writing (pun)!
He's SO amazingly hilarious in this scene!!!
"Oi, you can't ride yorur bike on the grass!"
"Ohhhh no?"
Was scrambling around to find the best comedy bit in history, after this video I've already seen everything, instantly.
Such low-key humor. Had me in hysterics.
Robert Christian subtlety. Rare these days in movies and tv
@@Pheonix8877 And yet by those British humour standards this about as subtle as a 2x4 upside the head.
@@Pheonix8877 It really isn't.
It’s a funny scene, but what exactly is ‘low-key’ about this? Is that just something that some fans of British comedy are programmed to say? It is okay to be a little ‘high-key’ sometimes.
He meant lowbrow.
"They're lesbian?"
"Yeah, cause the been in the camp so long"
It can happen
Only Patrick Stewart could pull off that line so perfectly. Just deadpan serious but also so enthusiastic about his script.
@@death-by-ego you get a pass for that
@@PeterT-i1wit’s Ricky’s line in the skit
I would love to see a scene between the Extras version of Patrick Stewart and the Extras version of Ian McKellen.
Just the thought made me laugh out loud
"Patrick, you must ask yourself, what would it be like if you could make women's clothes fall off with your mind, what is it like to be a man who's seen everything? just use your imagination to think about what that would be like and then just do that. that's called acting."
@@KhanGarth I feel like it'd have to be the other way around, since a) it is Patrick's script and b) it'd be extra hilarious to have Ian be the one "making" women's clothes fall off
"no wife, no girlfriend, you live alone, and youve never seen Star Trek?!"
XD
Good lord
His delivery is just beyond brilliant. Still kills me even after all these years.
Knowing there is like a three hour blooper reel behind this scene makes it even funnier
The way he looks twice at the imaginary mirror absolutely destroys me everytime
Patrick Stewart said in a TV Guide interview that his favorite guilty pleasure is watching Beavis and Butthead. This man is a legend
He looked so sad when he learnt there was no nudity in the screenplay. What an absolute legend. Brilliant script, too (both Extras' and Patrick Stewart's).
I love the "On the grass." line.. Wow, that's subtle and amazing.
Writing...that's the key.
It's a comedy is it? ...No.
"...and I ride off...on the grass....."! Brilliant. Brilliant line delivery from one the finest actors in the history of the art! Oh my goodness it's just such a wonderfully written and performed bit!
That "Good Lord" at the end was perfect; Patrick Stewart and Ricky Gervais at their best! :D
What a champ. Seriously. You gotta respect an actor who can take the mickey out of themselves like that.
This is actually a pretty accurate description of what it would be like if an actor tried writing a screenplay.
"I love off-roading. What if Picard had a dune buggy?"
As if that isn't a really common thing.
Matt Damon did exactly that with Good Will Hunting
Agreed, look at his involvement with S1&2 of Picard, garbage! He just acted in S3 and suddenly it was amazing :p
@@TheSnoozeFoxWill Hunting rides off on the grass "How do ya like them apples?"
I was laughing at all of it, but just seeing the way his face changes as he realises this man has never seen Star Trek...pure genius, and tears
"I'm writing a screenplay, and I find the whole process absolutely exhilarating." What I love is that there's an underlying meaning to that line that you can't appreciate until you've watched the whole scene through once -- in other words, the exact reason he finds the process "exhilarating." (shudder)
The beauty of being really good at what you are doing is that you make everything look simple.
Love how he immediately goes to talking about himself! Great caricature!
I'd pay good money to see that movie :-)
I wonder how many times it took for them finally finish this scene without laughing. The outtakes were hilarious
Every second of Patrick's Stewart's performance here is simply brilliant!
I've seen this scene 50 times and I still laugh at Patrick Stewart!
Patrick Stewart's funniest role.
Joseph Dickson It wasn't meant to be funny, clearly.
***** clearly ;)
Joseph Dickson Thanks for clearing it up though
Never seen extras.But know I'm convinced it's worth a shot.
I would listen to Patrick Stewart's ideas all day long. They all sound brilliant, especially the part with the girls in the helicopter.
"Then Posh Spice walks in, and--"
"Her clothes fall off?"
"Instantly."
The way that "no" is delivered is sheer brilliance. Stewart is the examplar of class.
"It's too late, I've seen everything."
I watched this entire episode for the first time ever yesterday. This scene is pure brilliance. Patrick Stewart's comic timing is effortless.
0:26 *Notice how Patrick **_immediately_** highjacks the conversation to make it about himself and an opportunity to pontificate.* 😂
Patrick Stewart is a legend among men, fantastically versatile and doesn't take himself too seriously, which is rare in actors. American Dad is further testament, hilarious.
In a perfect world, Patrick Stewart would be in all film and TV productions. He should be granted honorary center square status for life.
This has got to be one of the greatest scenes in the history of television.
This is my favorite thing ever. I literally watch this whenever I feel down, it's just perfect.
All the other big stars in Extras, they're obviously playing fictional versions of themselves, but for Patrick Stewart I imagine he's playing himself just trolling Andy Millman.
The revolutionary understanding of the theatrical arts that Sir Patrick displays here is the main reason he has become so legendary.
My favorite part is that just awe struck completely dumbfounded “good lord.”
I've watched this video about 6 times and still laugh. I can't get enough of Gervais' convincingly dumbfounded reaction to Patrick's smoothly delivered and utterly pervy lines. Brilliant.
OMG this was one of the funniest series I'd ever seen being a film crew for the last 20 some odd years. These are the discussions among the camera crew. haha.
I have to say, Patrick Stewart is one of the coolest actors ever. He's an amazing actor that doesn't take himself seriously. He can go from Shakespeare to voicing Avery Bullock on American Dad.
Patrick Stewart is just awesome. It was so well done
This is one of the best comedic scenes ever preserved on film.
Your not married, haven't got a girlfriend and you haven't seen star trek? That joke alone was worth watching the whole thing.
...good lord... 😂😂😂😂
Patrick is hilarious here all my God and Ricky is a genius too. Love these guys.
If you've seen the outtakes it makes total sense that Rickys face is rarely on screen when Sir Patrick speaks.
That little eye twitch as he realizes that Gervais doesn't watch Star Trek is a subtle bit of comedy gold.
Patrick Stewart must of helped write game of thrones hahahah
My favorite part of all this, after all these years, is when Patrick Stewart says he looks in the REAR VIEW MIRROR on a HELICOPTER haha
The best part is the idea that Sir Patrick inserts "make it so" into his conversations
Why have I never seen this. 10/10 would cry from laughter again
"I've seen it all" I fucking died
The absolute best scene in Extras
so many people don't get this, what Patrick Stewart is saying is "I've seen everything"
This video. I thought I'd seen it all but now I've seen everything.
The outtakes from this scene are definitely worth a watch.
I wasn't a huge fan of Extras, although I can see why it was so popular and why so many people enjoyed it, one thing I loved about the show was seeing actors who you wouldn't really associate with comedy, play charactertures of themselves, giving away it seems their weird habits, beliefs and mannerisms to great comic effect. It's great writing to see icons such as Ian mckellen, Kate Winslet, Patrick Stewart and many others play these roles.
I have watched this countless times over the course of a year or two and every time, a new part becomes my favorite. Currently it is at 3:02. "Yeah, because they've been in the camp for so long". It's just perfect, the way he's justified the actions of the women to make it more plausible and arousing for himself. Sorry to over analyze this, but it's really deep comedy and I think deeper reflection only strengthens the appreciation. And then Gervais' finisher, " can happen". Brilliant.
It's not deep at all but it doesn't make it any less genius.
"On the grass"
XD
That ‘Good lord’ at the end is pure comedy gold.
Never watched this show but I don't think I have ever loved Patrick Stewart quite as much as I do right now. That was absolutely brilliant.
Yeah because they've been in the camp so long 😂😂😂😂
Always folds me hahahahah!!!
He's got his world building down pat. 😂
I showed this to my mother about 15 years ago, and she laughed and moved on. I only recently learned that she thought this was real when she declared Patrick Stewart "a pig" and cited this when I demanded to know why she thought that.
Millennialls and Zoomers, mind your parents. They're deeply confused.
Perhaps you can show her the Ian McKellen scene where he explains he's not actually Gandalf: ua-cam.com/video/m5CX00i4uZE/v-deo.html
His facial expressions when he asks about nudity and if it’s women... incredible acting!
And I thought I couldn't love Sir Patrick any more!
Dear Lord almighty I LOVE this man. One of our very best actors and an even better man. God bless Patrick Stewart, Make it so.
"You're not married, you haven´t got a girlfriend and you've never watched star trek? Good lord..." lol
Patrick Stewart is one of the greatest actors ever....and my favorite character in Star Trek ;)
I can't believe how well Patrick Stewart plays it. Just the looks in his eyes when he is asking about nudity. Subtle but expressive. I laugh every time.
