At least he doesn't seem desperate.

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.

Hopefully Vos will have the same ending as Stan.

Sschhtan

I have to say, this made me laugh hard. What a great reference

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.

Seth actually tweeted Vos and Bonnie, though!

What an absolute jew

Vos should be saying "I guarantee it" at the end of suit commercials.

"You're killing me, Bonnie!!!"

For the 3 LA listeners

I got it.

HOLDONHOLDON. Wait a sec. Could you explain that, for the listeners at home? We're a national show... I MEAN INTERNATIONAL.

This movie would do better if Rich's name wasn't attached. I guarantee it.

Oh god, come on vos...this is like Opie level.

God I love Vos

Ricky probably assumed that Vos was a make a wish kid with progeria.

Gervais has a shit-ton of followers...I don't blame him.

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.

This is how you promote shit now, sad as it is.

Leave poor Rich alone. His brain must look like swiss cheese. The guy is barely a human at this point.

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 was probably running out of characters.

Thanks for all your lovely comments about my bit at the Emmys, my Netflix ad, & all your support for animal welfare. #kindnessismagic

@rickygervais We did radio in NY a couple weeks ago. Please watch you'll love it. itunes.apple.com You were fun to do radio with.

Vos was hoping for that hash tag to apply to him

I'll defend him.

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.).

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.

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.

Just lighten up, huh?

but Vos isn't that funny

Makes sense - and to be honest my first reaction when reading it was to cringe.

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)

I can just imagine if jim read that on air- "Fucking christ vos... why'd you do that? he doesn't know you!" in an exasperated voice

There is no fucking way Ricky is watching it.

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.

Nope.

Ricky is good friends with the show and most of the comics on it.

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.

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 think it's somewhere in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxYDcuYwH6o

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.

Yeah same here. I'm trying to hunt down the Gervais clip cause I remember that one reaaaaly bummed out Jimmy.

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!"

Yep, and then Ricky did that "I know you" that was kinda patronizing and Jim was bummed about it.

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.

I was with rich until this. He's still hilarious

He's trying to push a movie to a guy that is dick deep in the movie game. You all are fucking retarded in here sometimes

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.

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.

dick deep in the movie game

Please don't say this

Please don't be a sensitive pussy

You talk like a cringe inducing fag, theres nothing sensitive about it

OK next time I wanna see if something is funny I'll run it by ya to see if it makes your vagina irritated or not

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?

Its not as bad as you guys make it seem.

He does seem desperate.

Vos sucks.

All of you would do the same shit if you were in his shoes.

He was probably running out of characters.
