Paul 'The Party Animal' Parker is one of The Ricky Gervais Show's most famous fans, having three emails read out during some of the early episodes of the first podcast series.

He first contacted the show during Series 1 Episode 2, who had sent in a email about a Serbian man who has invented a sex machine for women. Before they discussed this item, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant discussed what Parker may be like.

In the fourth episode of this series, Parker sent in an email about the origins of the kiss at a wedding. It comes from "earliest times, when the couple would actually make love for the first time under the eyes of half the village". Ricky and Steve wonder what Sting's wedding was like, and whether the guests brought sleeping bags.

In episode five of that same series, Parker sent an email about a distressed family, who saw a doctor riding a unicycle.

The last time he had an email read aloud was in episode nine of the first series, when he sent in one about a lumberjack who, after receiving a female's kidney in a transplant, gains an infatuation with women's housework (cooking, cleaning, etc.). There is some speculation as to whether Paul is real, or made up by Ricky and Steve, due to the fact that they often make up ridiculous (yet humourous) stories about Parker.
