Stephen Merchant (The Ricky Gervais Show)

Stephen Merchant is the secondary protagonist of The Ricky Gervais Show. He is Ricky's friend and writing partner. Frequently tells stories of the awkward situations he's gotten into. Tends to be the most levelheaded of the trio.

Why He Additionally Sucks Too

 * 1) Just like Ricky, he is also a jerk to Karl Pilkington. But, he’s not too extreme like Ricky, but he’s still a beta bastard.
 * 2) He is a butt-monkey.
 * 3) He makes ugly/disturbing faces, like this one for example.
 * 4) *On the other hand, his face can be scary at times, like this one for example.
 * 5) He might be at his own worst in Future. At the nearly end of the episode HE TRIED TO MURDER SOMEONE BY STRANGLING HIM! STEPHEN, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!
 * 6) He is arguably worse than Ricky.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He’s still Stephen Merchant, and is still funny to this day.
 * 2) His design is actually pretty good, as long as he doesn’t make any ugly/disturbing faces.
