He told the story on My Wife Hates Me a few weeks ago where he ran up to Seth Rogen in an airport and handed him a copy of the movie. Bonnie was embarrassed as shit. Vos claims Seth knew who he was.
Exactly. Vos is a moron who doesn't know how to promote himself. Maybe talk to Rick during a break and explain to him that he and his wife have a movie, produced by Opie coming out and if he could RT it he would be eternally grateful..
Or, I bet Rich didn't consult Bonnie on crafting his tweet, and just blindly sent it out.
Not a bad move on the unfunny idiot's part, but the wording is pathetic & desperate sounding - "we did radio in NY" - why not just mention Opie & Jimmy? "fun to do radio with"?? Completely juvenile.
He's got a connection to him - they just did radio together, Ricky's clearly really fond of one of his closest friends (Jimmy), and he's looking (I'd assume) for a retweet for his movie (that he's mentioned he's put a huge chunk of his money into).
Gervais has 6M followers - getting him to publicize it I'm sure would lead to a significant number of buys (not to mention putting it on the radar of any media folks who follow Gervais, etc.).
I get your point, but he should have just asked Jimmy to get in touch with Gervais to help Vos out. I'm sure he would have done it, he tweets about shows/comedians he's not involved with all the time. This was just the wrong way to go about it from Vos.
Pleading with someone famous to watch your movie just seems extremely desperate - and makes it seem like the movie desperately needs the extra publicity.
Sometimes you guys take things WAAY too fucking seriously. Rich Vos is fully capable of making a tongue in cheek post like this. He does it all the time, he pretends to be a clueless twat, because it's funny. Granted, sometimes he is a clueless twat, but give him some credit, he's not being serious here. I bet Ricky knows it, I bet every comic they know gets it.
Yeah, totally agree. Im sure Rich could have gotten someone to get in touch with Ricky, instead of reaching out to him like that & looking like such a pleb. It's just like if you had any idea how many trannies I wanna reach out to on Twitter? You gotta regulate that feed, bra. (@weirdfellas2 on Twi'ah, as Ricky would say)
that's INCREDIBLY stupid to say. Ricky is good friends with the show and most of the comics on it. I actually guarantee that this type of documentary (plus it's a good one at that) will be watched by a TON of comedians and comedic actors. Gervais is a nerd at heart, of course he's going to watch this.
Not to mention he didn't know Jim Norton and he mistook Jim for Bobby Kelly, and when corrected he did the whole "Ooooh right no don't worrry about it Jim I know you of course!"
I felt so bad for Jimmy last week when Ace Frehley called him the wrong name on the air/didn't know who he was. That sucks. Esp when like a million people hear it.
I believe that as Ricky was telling the story of seeing "Jim" at Comedy Cellar, Jim cut him off and said "Please tell me you are not mistaking me for that hunk of shit, Bob Kelly!"
Especially when Jimmy has been sucking KISS dick for his entire adult life. Same with Black Sabbath...those bastards rarely remember who he is. Fan boy.
I don't know if you have to be that harsh, sir. Being a huge fan of someone doesn't necessarily entail "sucking their dick," and when you get into the entertainment business, it is a nice feeling to become friendly with guys that have been your heroes since you were a kid. Settle down, for pete's sake.
It comes across as I want my shit to be succesful. Gervais isn't pals with Norton or Opie he comes in to the show sometimes. There is nothing wrong with asking a star to watch your shit and endorse it. You would do the same shit if you had all your eggs in that basket.
Speaking of Gervais, does anyone think his bit about not winning the Emmy and when the announced Jim Parsons won Gervais looked straight into the camera instead of clapping...was inspired by the conversation on O&J?

This is so fucking embarrassing. He's like a guy who met his favorite rapper and then tweets him a mixtape like they're friends.

I'll defend him.

Exactly, it's not like Ricky has to do a thing, just retweet it for someone he met.
Still funny to bash vos though, so carry on.

Yeah, I agree with the last part.

It's funny that gervais has so much reverence for ill jimmy yet I think a year or two ago he mistook him for Bob Kelly.

Who? Aside from Louie - who hasn't been on for a while.
He didn't even know Bobby, Vos or Colin. Who are probably the closest friends of the show now.

There are ways to do it, and ways not to do it.
This, obviously, is the latter.
Trying to blatantly use someone else's fame and saying "please watch" just comes across desperate, no?
He could have easily got in touch with him privately, or got Jimmy or definitely Opie as a producer on it to do so privately, and said the same stuff.
Then Gervais just tweets "Just watched Women Aren't Funny by friend of @onashow, @richvos. A great watch."
...and then put a link to the iTunes site. That's probably exactly what happens sometimes when he tweets about his friend's projects anyway.
