He isnt everyones taste with humour but people forget its jokes. He is dry and offensive and thats what i like.

I was dragged kicking n screaming to even give Ricky Gervais a fair look. Don't even know why. I now keep my mouth shut and watch/listen avidly. He is epic.

Reminds me of me. We get free wood at work and people look at me funny taking it home in a heat wave.

This bit reminds me SO much of Norm MacDonald's style.  They both take you on a 10-minute journey that never gets boring and doesn't have a real punchline, but it's comedic genius.  Ricky is a legend, and RIP Norm.

Omg, as a french I didn't grow up with english comedians (apart from the monthy pythons, of course), and I jist discovered this guy... he is so freaking funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

9:05 "Most the kids in my class kept that up."
Steve Merchant is thinking, "They sure did, Rick. They sure did."

In India, we had the grasshopper and the ant. Basically, the grasshopper was a hippie, and the ant was a middle class worker. Come winter, the ant refused to share his storage with the grasshopper, and the poor thing died. Moral of the story: don’t be generous to hippies. 😂

If you listen to Gervais trying to find something to be offended by, you will not be disappointed. If you open your ears and your mind you will hear some satire and sarcasm: you will see an intuitive and comedic view of the human condition and of society. He adds to this his impeccable timing and delivery which allow the audience to laugh at themselves and their world. If this is offensive to you, you are likely offended by any day of the week ending in “y”

I’m learning to appreciate Ricky more and more!

He went all Eddie Izzard with the mouse ramblings, love it, never seen this :)

The story about the newspaper seller took me back.  My first job after leaving school was in a newsagents'.  I learned very quickly to come up with bland, non controversial replies to comments about whatever was in the headlines each day, and resign myself to the fact that I would probably say them 40 or 50 times before hometime.

Bril!. Tells it how it is!. 🤣 Nuff said!.

I was at the LSE around the same time but had lots of friends at UCL. I think you were playing in a band once when I was in the bar. My friends thought you were really cool and looked a bit like David Bowie. It was the fang teeth. Around 1984.

I love the way he turns things around despite the truth of the matter.   He has defined to me how to deal with the slugs that come into the bathroom without a house on their back.   Thanks Mr. Gervais.

I could listen to this man's humour and wisdom all day every day.

Ricky should narrate Wind & the Willows.

Not that this is bad but you can tell how much Ricky has improved and honed is skill as a stand up in the last 5-6 years

Had to come back to this speech after the list drop. This was already aging well enough, but now it's about to age even better.

the double arrow sound... spot on

That is actually how mice make their axes.
