My overall rating of "The Ricky Gervais Show"'s Season 2: 5/10
Generally when watching this show I'll associate myself with Stephen or perhaps with Ricky, but in this episode I'm unexpectedly siding with Karl. This whole kind of "art" is pseudointellectual claptrap where idiots can pretend to find meaning to feel smarter. Furthermore, I see absolutely nothing healthy about watching (or buying!) this "outsider art" made by literal mentally-ill people - it just sounds unpleasant and gimmicky. There are a couple of funny moments, but the episode's railroaded topic is just too disgusting and infuriating to enjoy, and Ricky and Stephen just come across as absolute tossers.
