For me it has to be Les Dennis, seriously who would have thought he was that funny!!! I love his performance so self depreciating, and great delivery of some fantastic lines.
Who is your favourite??
Work is the curse of the drinking classes...
Oh my...I loved Kate Winslet. I never thought of her as a funny person and I fell on the floor laughing at her. She held the scene with her phone and BJ tongue....I think that made me love the show from that point forward.

Orlando Bloom was extremely funny. Oh my god he nailed it.
Orlando, Who's that freak over there we didn't notice?
Willy Wonka, Johnny Wanker.
Kate Winslet was great.
Clive Owen not being happy with the choice of women...
"Yeah. I'm not very happy with this. I wouldn't pay for that. There's got to be a better one than this."
"Clive, seriously..they sent me a truckload of absolute hogs and THIS is the very best one."
"Really? Jesus."
"Oh fugg off. I'm Clive Owen, that's mental!"
Chris Martin
"Deh-Neh-Neh-Neh...Deeh-Neh-Neh-Neh"
"Is that one of yours?"
"Yeah yeah. Trouble."
"I imagine you're going to have starving people standing around, looking pathetic. Could they be holding the cd?"
"Could we get on with this. I have to do AIDS & land mines later. And I have to get home for "Deal Or No Deal," plus Gwyneth's making drumsticks."
It has to be Patrick Stewart. All I keep hearing is him saying, "But it's too late, Ive already seen everything" after each one of his movie pitches.
Close second would be David Bowie with the "Little Fat Man" song.
My favorite episode is the Les Dennis one and he's magnificent but i also thought Kate Winslet and Sir Ian McKellen was fantastic. The Keith Chegwin name a funny british black man scene was a standout too. This was such a brilliant series which there was a 3rd series coming
100% liam neeson. oh, was that "life's too short??" they're so similar in tone and subject matter, i got confused for a second. let's see...i'll go with chris martin, if only because his appearance was so, SO far from his public persona. his walk on cameo in "when the whistle blows" was also the most painfully weak point in that "show's" "run," too.
seriously though, liam neeson's bit in 'LtS' is my favorite thing ricky gervais has ever been involved in. yes, including everything with karl pilkington(!)
David Bowie was brilliant! I loved the serious face at first, listening to Andy's concerns and suddenly gets a strike of inspiration. The face of joy while he was singing was priceless. And there´s a quote about David Bowiein a Ricky Gervais interview that made laugh, too:
"A few years later I emailed David on his 57th birthday. It read: “57???? Isn’t it about time you got a proper job? Ricky Gervais, 42, Comedian.” He replied: “I have a proper job. David Bowie, 57, Rock God.”
Ian McKellen was great too. And Kate Winslet was surprisingly funny. The interaction between Daniel Radcliffe and Diana Rigg with the condom in her head and teaching the boy some lesson on manners had me laughing my head off.
Les Dennis. It doesn't matter that I didn't even know who he is (and still don't).

Les Dennis for me as well - he sent himself up, but in a really tragic, close to the bone way. The best comedy is mixed with pathos, and there was a real sympathy for his character, credit to him for amping it up. The scene with the genie where he breaks down on stage is one of the funniest I have ever watched. "Just do some more of the queer *beep* haha
shareKate Winslet and Robert De Niro were my favourite.
