===Concert for Diana and Live Earth===
On 1 July 2007, Gervais performed at the [[Concert for Diana]] at [[Wembley Stadium|Wembley]], a music event celebrating the life of [[Diana, Princess of Wales|Princess Diana]] 10 years after her death.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/concertfordiana/timeline/ |title=Concert for Diana – What happened minute by minute |work=BBC News |access-date=17 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410200805/http://www.bbc.co.uk/concertfordiana/timeline/ |archive-date=10 April 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> Towards the end of the event—after a pre-recorded introduction from Ben Stiller—Gervais appeared along with fellow ''Office'' star Mackenzie Crook. They performed "[[Free Love Freeway]]", a song previously heard in the fourth episode of series one of ''The Office''. Due to a technical problem, Gervais then had to fill time until he was able to re-introduce [[Elton John]] to close the show, so he did the David Brent dance, as well as singing the "Little Fat Man" song as performed by David Bowie in episode two of the second series of ''Extras''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.metafilter.com/57740/Pathetic-little-fat-man-noones-bloody-laughing|title=Ricky Gervais Has Lost It|publisher=Metafilter.com|access-date=2 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205162037/http://www.metafilter.com/57740/Pathetic-little-fat-man-noones-bloody-laughing|archive-date=5 February 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

In July 2007, following Gervais's appearance at the memorial concert for the Princess of Wales, ''The Guardian'' ran a column by ''[[Daily Mirror]]'' television critic [[Jim Shelley (TV critic)|Jim Shelley]] entitled "Call Me Crazy... But Has Ricky Gervais Lost It?", where he described Gervais as a "tiresome embarrassment". The following week, ''The Guardian'' noted that Gervais had responded with "an exhilaratingly foul-mouthed tirade" on his website, concluding with the sentence "yes I am resting on my fucking laurels you cunt!" In this video, Gervais mocked Jim Shelley typing the words "resting on his laurels" as Gervais jokingly lashed out by stating that he was resting on his laurels and that he was not going to make another show for television, quipping: "What's the point? What is there to beat?"<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/organgrinder/2007/jul/11/rickygervaishaslostit|title=Ricky Gervais Has Lost It|work=The Guardian|access-date=2 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402155445/http://www.theguardian.com/media/organgrinder/2007/jul/11/rickygervaishaslostit|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>
