Seedy Boss is a quirky little gem from 1998, and it’s always fun to see how Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant started out. Shot in just 20 minutes, the film captures that raw, improvisational spirit you’d expect from their early work. The pacing is brisk, with a loose structure that lets Gervais flex his comedic chops in a way that feels fresh and unpolished. The atmosphere is a mix of awkward encounters and deadpan humor, which is kind of their trademark. It’s interesting to notice how the practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on dialogue and character interactions, making the performances stand out. If you’re into the early days of British comedy, this one’s a nice piece to have in your collection.
