In real life however: Mugger: Give me your money Ricky Gervais: Does that usually wo.... *gets stabbed in the stomach*

Two rules in life: 1) Don't mess with someone who has nothing to lose; 2) Don't mess with someone who has everything to lose.

I actually thought this scene was more intense than funny

Someone on the brink of going insane is a really, really bad target

I like how he thinks twice before responding to the muggers , almost like he doesnt know if he wants do die yet when faced with reality.

Callum’s corner self defence tips coming in clutch

Love how ricky hits him, proper real reaction, great acting

When he said "Just f off". I felt that. When you are so exhausted and tired in life, that's the feeling.

Looks like i'll be bringing a can of soup with me everytime I go for a walk

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a can of beans is a good guy with a can of beans.

I don't know, all of these commentators, thinking he is carrying beans, and then making inappropriate bean-based puns. The really made a dog's breakfast out of it.

I really wish I could handle these thugs in the same way, but it would end pretty badly for me.

A kid tried mugging me a few years back and I laughed at him and told him to fuck off and kept walking. I'm a fully groan adult and he was about 14 and to this day I'm not sure if he was serious or not.

"Are you men-ol?"

Man with nothing left to lose is a man you don't want to mess with

imagine them two muppets coming up to you saying that lol look like they just been dropped off in mummys porsche

Probably the most unlikely location for a mugging ever.

A method I find works is to tell them I don't have money, which I don't.

“Thug coughs, Thug coughing” 😅

If he went around the neighborhood doing that with a bat, I would call him Batman!

Rick Gervais the tough guy, so believable 😅

Ricky loves the idea of being a tough guy, if someone said “don’t mess with Ricky Gervais” he would love that. If he could have the choice of either being universally agreed the funniest man in Britain, or to beat some youngsters up in a pub (against the odds) because they were hassling an old man, he would say “oh please just let me beat some youngsters up in a pub”

In real life, muggers don't give you the chance to have a monologue about life.

Mugger: give me your money Karl: alight

This is how redditors think things would go down if they got mugged. They think they'd just talk them out of it with their incredible, stunning wits and copy pasted top comments - and if that doesn't work that they'd effortlessly win in a 2v1 with their main character techniques

This is definitely how a millionaire in show business thinks modern day muggers look and act 😂

In south america you get stabbed at the beggining of "does that usually work?"

This guy is my new spirit animal

People its dog food not beans

I like the way when Tony doesn't like violence to hurt people.

One of the best program's I've watched

We live in Rio. I'd PAY to be "tentatively" mugged like that by "that". 😂😂 In a little Cadburys milk tray setting like that and trying to toughen up by trying to "sound yardie"?! Gimme a f@k1n break! 🤣🤣

Love This ........

*real life* "if I've read this righ..." *gets shanked*

Brilliant

The best part of episode 1...this and also the part where he insults the school kid. 😂 😂 😂

Handled it like a boss

There ain't none so bold as people with nothing to lose.

Christ, he’s really writing himself some wish fulfilment badass stuff to act out isn’t he lmao

Lmao he actually did a signature niko bellic move from gta 4 lol even had nikos fighting stance after he does it lol which is funny because ricky played himself in that same game as a comedian at one of the shows you can take one of your friends to see lol

Such a great series...

I once had some high school kid from my hometown threaten me outside of a bar. I just laughed at him and reminded him that I was not only the head wrestling coach at a nearby town but that my son had pinned him in about 30 seconds. I also reminded him that I graduated with his dad. He apologized and we sat on my tailgate and shot the shit for an hour or so. I told him some good stories about his old man.

This is based on the time a mugger tried to take Karl's new trainers

I nearly got mugged once but I tried this technique, of acting a bit mental. This guy wanted me trainers... an’ eh, I was in Picadilly Gardens in Manchester and it was quite late one night, an’ he come up, he said, eh, “I want them trainers”. I said, “YOU want ’em?”, I said, “I worked hard for these”. I said “How dare you come to me askin’...”, an’ I got a bit livid, an’ he looked at--he looked at me like, “Oh my god!”, he’s “got a right one ‘ere”, an’ he left me. I put it on a bit, but you don’t think about it do you, when you’re sort of in the eyes of danger.

ricky gervais is so so brilliant with everything he did with this show

Brutal!...... Nuff said! 🤣

I love opportunities like this.

Kids - Have you got any money? Ricky in real life - loooooooads and baftas, golden globes you name it I'm rich

The music at the end for anyone who wants to know is Kids Will Be Skeletons by Mogwai :)

good job lmao

You Go,Ricky! Years ago I kicked a would be car thief out of my car " Buddy,It is 2 weeks before Xmas and I need my car to finish My shopping" "GET OUT" Sometimes anger overrides good sense

Legend!

Celebrity boxing reflex coming in handy

this man is the nightmare of thugs

The most dangerous man in the world is one with nothing to lose. They picked the wrong one here.

Bro got humbled

There are some pretty tough thugs out there, but these two guys wouldn't even scare me enough to raise my blood pressure. I'd welcome the exercise.

The funny part for me was he buys one can of dog food at a time! Big Dog! I was impressed and completely understood that scene. I myself have been riding that brink with cancer and the threat of Omicron.

Heard the ending music and thought life is strange immediately

I thought these guys were going to get revenge by stabbing hin at the end of the serise, as he was starting to come around to living his life and it would have ended with a pan out of ricky on the floor holding his stab wound.

There's actually a strong chance in today's society that he really doesn't have any money. That would have been a more interesting scene. It's funny how robbers turn and run when they realize you have nothing on you. The classic one is handing over an old iphone they turn in their hands and say are you for real.

I wonder what David Brent would have done in that situation?!😀😀😀

Give me ur money -This character that Ricky Gervais plays - I cant, I'm Autistic

Ladies and Gentlemen... Here is an example of why kids should still get there arses smacked when they get out of line as kids

While their still talking . ❤

"There's nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose."

i'm always gonna carry a can of beans with me now

Afterlife had so many hard hitting but equally hilarious moments.

They failed to notice he was armed with a can of dog food.

don't mess with someone who is holding a can of dog food

Something simulair happened to me. A boy used to somewhat bully me by trying to call me names, I usually returned the insult even harder making him look like an idiot. One time he appereantly couldn't handle it and pushed me. Words I'm okay with, anything you want to say you can say to me and I won't get mad but don't fucking lift a finger to me or I'll breakl it. Punched the guy over and over untill the janitor had to grab me off him. Never heard a word from him after again. Still so proud of myself for standing up against a bully, made sure I was never bullied again. Tip for anyone else. If a toxic person tries to assault you in any way make sure to return the force x10 to make sure he won't do it again, no matter if it results in broken bones. breaking that dudes nose was the best thing that happened to me.

I'd just walk around with a wallet full of monoply money

Tom Holland in the grey jacket

Reminded me of a scene from falling down

He clearly learnt from Detective JJ Bittenbinder to throw them off their rythem

thats how i feel 100% of the time

Someone else but me who also applaud afterwards?! Wish everybody had The curage to say that to thugs like this! No matter how many they had would been.

Don’t f with a guy who went to market to buy Dog Food because he will use it to show you how mental he is

ricky has been working out ;-) im not gayyyyyyyyyyy

Alternative scene: -"Allright mate, got any money?" -"No" -"Then never mind"

Thug coughing that's the only way you are allowed to cough. 😂

*thug coughs*

Imagine James acaster doing this scene 😂

Satisfying

I guess you could say, he got beaned

In reality they would have battered him senseless.

dam that was quick...diddnt even see it

[ thug coughing]

It was at that moment, that he became Heisenberg.

Lesson of the story always carry a metal can to fend of muggers

This only works in small towns away from the Cities where all the street muggers are just posers trying to act tough.

MUAHAHHA yes

They got humbled, so satisfying

[Thug coughs]

Can of soup for the win

Thieves are usually back

Ooooh you're hard 😅

This is almost a carbon copy of the mugger scene from falling down

Ooooh you're hard....
