  Getty Images Ricky Gervais loves to laugh, but he does not like wearing wigs, faking accents, or kissing his co-stars. He said all of those things make him uncomfortable.

What's with his awful podcasts? What is going on? He and his mates generate this rambling, poxy sub-Derek and Clive nonsense, and it's horrible to listen to not just because it's horrible, but also because RG periodically erupts in this animalistic screech laughter which makes all thinking people wince. In fact, that is pretty much his contribution, I suppose sometimes he gets the ball rolling but otherwise it's down to Karl and Stephen to be...

Ricky Gervais is not a tolerant man--everything annoys him. He posits he'll end up like Howard Hughes, shutting the world out to avoid its germs.
