A Warwick Davis mockumentary. It's fucking hilarious. But by far the best scene in the entire series is the Liam Neeson cameo. If you don't care to watch this show, you have to at least watch that one scene.

Another criminally under watched show from the minds of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Maybe if they were American, I'd be sick of them, but seeing as their series usually run only 6 episodes each, I just can't get enough.

Was super uneven but had some truly hilarious scenes. The cameos were better than the show itself. The Liam Neeson scene is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKTh7zBIcrM

It has its funny moments but the same jokes get repeated over and over. The guest appearances are hilarious though.

Adding the chorus...the Liam Neeson sequence is fantastic. And most of the rest of it I just didn't find funny.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's brand of comedy is still alive and kicking in "Life's Too Short" if slightly more familiar after the overall meatier "The Office" and "Extras". Warwick Davis's acting fits their type of humour very well, and the three of them succeed in combining some hilarious moments, acute social awareness, emotional resonance and A-list guest stars deconstructing themselves, yet "Life's Too Short" doesn't have the consistency or originality that would make it essential.

The Liam Neeson sequence in the pilot is one of the funniest stand-alone scenes from any sitcom ever. Literally nothing else about the show stood out to me in the slightest; I didn't even finish it.

As already mentioned, the Liam Neeson scene is incredible. Rest of the series is... alright. It's not as funny as Extras nor The Office and it doesn't reach their emotional peaks either, but it has a similar premise to those shows and hits a lot of the same beats.

Too often felt he was doing an impression of Brent, not bad though.
