Gervais guest voices in the episode too, apparently. The original Office was one of the funniest things ever.

Yep - new episode dealing with a reality show where Marge goes to live with Gervais' family and he falls for her. Basically an animated version of the Boob he played on the Office - which BTW - if you haven't watched? Do! Funny stuff.

The opening was the same English version that has been all over the net for a little while - youtube, Ifilms, etc........

Just a shame Gervais stand-up isn't as funny as his writing is.

There were some slight differences with the Fox version shown last night.

The honking scene with Marge and Maggie was reversed so Marge was in the left hand drivers side.(Like we have here in the states)

And the part where Homer is running out of the garage his butt crack was fuzzed out.

Ahh yes his podcasts are hilarous. He comes across better when hes doing ad-libbed stuff on the radio etc.

His stand-up is all scripted and looks forced.

the stand up is forced, but I think that is just for a check. Same with his FLANIMALS thing. just for that check I bet.

Yeah, and it jars cos his radio is off the cuff and much the better for it.
