Ricky Gervais certainly kept The Golden Globes lively and now you can bring him to your house — sort of.

Airing on HBO, The Ricky Gervais Show is an animated program that’s based on Gervais’ very popular podcasts, the same audio files that earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most downloads. The characters are voiced by Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. Storylines are centered around subjects like the merits of 20th Century inventions, suggestions for population control, the evolution of philosophy, and Karl’s perfectly round head.

The first season has recently been released on DVD and the set includes all of the episodes as well as an episode’s storyboard and a “comedy gala animation” special feature.
