Having made for himself a reputation as the guy you don't want to underestimate and, most importantly, get upset, Liam Neeson is certainly a sight to behold as he's pitching for Ricky Gervais a possible career as a comedian.

Like Johnny Depp before him, Neeson has agreed to make a cameo on Gervais' latest show, “Life's Too Short,” and the result is incredibly funny and wickedly wrong.

Neeson arrives at a meeting with Gervais determined to convince him that he'd cut it as a comedian.

He even has a list with the things he wants to do as one, and we all know there's no messing with a man with a list.

In full serious, brooding, menacing mode, Neeson manages to scare Gervais and the other two guys into an audition of sorts, only to choose what is probably one of the worst punchlines for a joke, AIDS.

What follows next is one of the funniest things Liam has ever been involved in. We'll not spoil it any more for you, just check out the video above to see what it's all about.
