A Weirdo Trolled Ricky Gervais But Truly Missed the Point | Netflix Is A Joke 

Hahhaa!

Yeah because the Bible doesn’t use the word “it’s science” to defend everything, that’s another religion

​@Tiny Ford First of all if you're religious, why are you using religion as an insult as if being a religion is a bad thing? Secondly, look up definition of religion and realize that scientific method doesn't rely on the same principles religions do, it tests stuff, comes up with conclusions based on the evidence and most importantly, it can change as time goes on because it's not dogmatic. Scientific method in a couple hundred years advanced humanity tenfold (technology, medicine, understanding our origins and so on), none of the "holy" books did anything apart from stop this advancement.

​@TheSanFrancisco SeaHorse "You do understand it was early Church leaders who really started the scientific method and promoted much of what grew into modern scientific methods, yes? You knew that right? Or how the big bang theory was originally conceived by a Catholic Priest? Did they tell you that in school?" Just because they happened to be religious (as most people were) doesn't mean that the impetus of scientific method CAME from religion. Newton was devoutly religious, but his ideas didn't come from the Bible. You are conflating atheism with science, trying to say that because a lot of early progress in scientific field came from people who weren't atheist, that somehow gives religion some "authority" over science or whatever. The fact is that religious approach is fundamentally dogmatic because it assumes to know the ultimate truth that you have to follow no matter what the evidence suggests. Science doesn't operate that way. I simply corrected this stupid notion religious people love to repeat that "science is your religion" because somehow in their minds everyone supposedly HAS to have a religion and if it doesn't come from, for example, Bible, then the next thing they may be enthusiastic about (like science) is now "your religion". No, that's bullshit. "People follow atheism religiously today, that's what the first commenter meant to say." People also follow football religiously if you use the same sort of definition where anything that you may be "fanatical" about suddenly becomes "your religion". No, proper definition of religion specifically has to do with deities/supernatural, rituals that you have to follow, promises of afterlife and other things that rational people won't subscribe to. Diluting this definition to mean "deep interest in something" as an attempt to basically say "see, you follow same irrational bullshit we do!" is a pretty weak tactic. "I know plenty of atheists who adhear to older scientific ideas that may have since been debunked just because they see "progress" as a threat to their religiously held Atheistic ideals." Examples? If they truly view it that way then they don't quite understand the basic principle of how science works.

I would love to hear you say the word fetus, just to see how you incorporate the "o"

@ServerArchive this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ServerArchive . “A fetus or foetus is the unborn offspring of an animal that develops from an embryo”

@OP 1000 I bet you're fun at parties!

George Carling wouldn´t agree

@Sergio Guede He doesn't come close to Gervais, Gervais is a genius, he also studied philosophy in university.

I don't believe in God but those things he is making fun of are topics christian scholars have discussed for about 2 millenias... I would say thats hardly "logical".

@あきら not even close. Its illogical because its being brought to a paradigm where the axioms of the Bible are not embraced, yet if the teaching itself is not meant to be analized out of its centrufugal reasoning (the Bible is a state of truth on its own, it has its own way of validating its argument). We would be in the same situation if in the future we find out that we are living in a form of hallucination - then those "scientific" arguments would loose there "imminent" validity and would sound redicilous. Just different systems thats all.

@あきら thats not even 1 example, man. You are reading thr Bible from outside the Bible, again. If your axiom is that God's divine being is equal to truth and there is only the truth of God that exist in the world (and the whole human drama is the actual separation from God), then reading the Bible is no longer proving that God exists, it becomes a manifestation of the God's being. Meaning that if for example there is an inconsistency of "factual" order in the Bible your interpretation should be that it doesn't matter because God creates from the act of Love. Absolutely a different way of interpretation. In abstract, the bible is not meant to be proven by the theory of Physics, because by definition it has a different role.

pretty sure he does?.... seeing as it was him who thought of it & does it?

I do this all the time 😂😂😂😂

Annoying people on Twitter is an art, but it's best when you can annoy both sides of the argument, not just one of them

Did you do it?

Did you do it? (2)

@reference12 Booooooooo!!

He did a pro phedo joke once…I’ve just seen it. Disappointing

@JMB What

@M J what...? Are you even saying?

I laughed more at this than I did during the video. He should put this in his bit.

@Mr_Birdie I was waiting for this at the end of the video. Opportunity missed.

Read this comment just as he was making the joke. My lungs now hurt

But, to be true to form, he studiously avoids it. No pleasure for Ricky!!

Well I think that was pretty much the point of the XFM podcast and the animated Ricky Gervais Show.

There is/was an account on YT, “balr” or something like that, which was posting Ricky’s daily FB or IG postings. Same general idea.

Look up Absolutely Mental, freestyle chats for 45 minutes between Sam Harris and Ricky Gervais. Three seasons now.

Me toooo

Only once. The trick of great writing is to make it seem spontaneous. That takes hard work, skill, and time. (John Cleese once said that when he and Graham Chapman were at the height of their writing partnership, it would take them five hours to write three minutes of good material.)

But he doesnt believe there's such thing as God

@Rova it doesn' matter

Hahahahah... good one!

@Rova r/woosh

no one? Dave allen, Chapelle, Carlin, burr, Griffin, et al.

​@Euro Guy 85 They come close but not that close.

Shit! I'm such a dumbass. I've been watching bits and pieces of the show on BRvid instead of seeing it all on Netflix. Even worse, the name of the channel... Ughhh 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Which one is this sketch part of please?

@Leon Skum. i think this one is Humanity. His newest special Supernature is on Netflix now too. Enjoy!

It was actually, in my opinion, his worst special.... and it's still great. Ricky never disappoints

Well it doesn't so there is that

Only if you feed him 50 choco bars every day.

@Psyche Evolved Oh... ok. Thanks for setting me straight.

@5thElement s- so it does kill them 😂

@JL Don't know man. Never tried it.

Debra Jones It is a joke. Just because it's true doesn't mean it can't be used as a joke. Most of the jokes you hear from comedians are basically truth put in a comedic light.

Debra Jones but it's also still a joke bruh. You're saying it's not a joke but it literally is a joke this is a comedy routine. The scientific facts aren't jokes of course and Ricky isn't joking about being atheist but OP was just pointing out that Ricky was simultaneously destroying religion with facts and logic while making jokes too.

@Average Joe SSB well, he isn't destroying Christianity, but overall, the jokes are fire

"He loves the foetus from conception till when it turns out gay" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pure gold 😂😂😂

Let's just hope he was right, because otherwise that burn would surely set fire to all of it, and we'd be screwed. :P

I really hope this quote is real.

@fred smith- king of the lunatics - It is, go read his book, it's great.

@John Daugherty will do, cheers 👍

Hardly genius lmao

@Psyche Evolved I think he's a comedic genius.

@Psyche Evolved Created the show "The Office". He's more of a genius than you are.

Who’s thwre

i have to agree. he has an immaculate delivery.

I like to choke myself while watching Ricky Gervais too! Wait, what? um.

You might not…

Is it really learning and evolving that you actually couldnt stand a famous person at all until they say something that re-affirms your own opinion on a a subject and now you love that person. It really doesn't sound like you understand at all.

@melvert33 good callout. He has ignorant prejudices of his character until Ricky says something that creates new positive prejudices.

which "pedo mutts" did he call out? Missed that bit

Now that's funny

Wait, You mean Mohammad DIDN'T fly through space on a flying horse?!!!!! No way!!!!!! You're crazy...

horses don't fly

this is actually a joke from Ricky himself

Well, I've got great news for you, according to my teacher, the Hindus worship approximately 33M gods

And remember: god is always on *our* side.

You're always born under the right god

My favourite was when Ricky said in an interview "You don’t believe in 2,999 gods. And I don’t believe in just one more."

Nothing cooler than watching a nobody who can't reply get dunked on by a rich powerful famous person Oh wait

@DichotomousRex to be fair, we do not know whether this person is indeed a nobody for all we know it could have been G. W. Bush or Trump whi wrote this... (fill in your favourite celebrity roast victim)

@SKSaddrakk Or it all be a made up story for the sake of comedy. who knows really.

There's a thing called twitter. Guessing you haven't heard of it.

Understandable. Have a nice day :)

Richard Conner CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

This is the first time I've ever actually read anything written with the CAPS lock on. And yes, I guessed what it was about.

I JUST HOLD SHIFT.

YOU'RE WRONG

But you are not curious about chocolate killing men?

@Uouttooo what?

Do you? Ooh shut that door!

No you don't. You think you do. But you really don't.

@TheAngryHolmesian If he thinks he does, he does.

Have you been backsliding?

@Calisto ......he would want me to.

what about george carlin? i like george on even days and ricky on odd days

Poor you.

Why wouldn that be a reason for it not to be funny? :p I hope you get to honestly and critically assess your beliefs :) Look into epistemology and fallacies, I think it's useful for every human being to learn about how our brains work!

@Rich 03 ?

@Tempestive Because a lot of people, particularly today, are unable to laugh at themselves. Every group has issues, but many people these days refuse to acknowledge that when it's their group

Its the right time if u play your cards right

Im guessing when he was doing hip thrusts

Love it

@Schpit holy fucking christ

@SensualCream why? It's his GRAN. If she wasn't well acquainted to some hip thrusting, She wouldn't BE his gran; lemme tell you that.

Debra Jones The Earth is over 4.5 billion years old

Debra Jones What's with all the ellipses and question marks? Jesus christ

@Charlie Brayson This one compensates for her high school dropout status by pretending she's better than Theists

Debra Jones Mate the fucking irony in this comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????

Debra Jones i think you missed the lesson in school on how to use a question mark 🤣

@NJTDover calm down Tinkerbell, you don't think they might have been joking?

@Pseudo Ra well where did u think the "religion of peace" got their idea of peace? Some other "peaceful" sadists that predated them.

We can see many stars in the sky at night from Earth but can we see aliens going about their business or violent weather and star quakes over there? So you get my point! Even if one can see Hell from Heaven, which I doubt because it would not be heaven if you can see all that nastiness and weeping in hell, they might not be able to tell what is going on in hell.

@Uouttooo apparently they get to sit in heaven and watch the details of hell as entertainment. You know, like modern reality tv. Except a little less staged, and probably more entertaining. I mean, what else are you going to do for eternity between shifts worshipping at the feet of God?

Why are the words in quotes in your comment all starting with a capital letter?

@KD MEDIA I'm so glad an English major chimed in. Please tell us everything you know about punctuation and spelling!!!

@Steak Slap'n I’m not. I’m simply not a moron and I know how to write.

@KD MEDIA oooh, zing!! You got me good!! Hahaha

@KD MEDIA no he didn't. He said "rapin"

Jesus

People say science is fake on social media, using phones and the Internet 😂.

Clueless

What part of the Bible tells you how an iPhone works? Lmao

@Richard Flynn wat?

On your face?

I failed

@xirn i want your job. i find work never usually that funny and thats why i listen to comedy skits like this while working.

@D W what do you mean, work is hilarious

LITERALLY how it feels.

dont get me started...

No the difference between how you view your religion, and the born again/moral majority is that it is not your identity, but something that forms your life.

@Zam Zamazawarma If you live your life by the 10 commandments, then there is nothing that would point you to neither the woke crowd nor the moral majority crowd. I think your definition of being "a true Christian" deviates significantly from the general theme of the new testament - be humble, be good, be kind and respect others. Whether people find their identity in a bastardization of the bible or in wokism, it is not tolerance and kindness that are promoted.

@Jens Petersen Your definition is theory, mine is practice. Maybe at one point, theory and practice were the same. Say, for as long as 10 minutes after Christ died. Either way I suppose both definitions are valid. So yeah, I agree, M. Wingnut here might be a Christian, whatever that means, but he's definitely not a follower of Christ.

@Zam Zamazawarma Do anybody follow Christ? People follow stories where the earliest were written down app. 40 years after Christ supposedly did his deeds, and what is known as the bible was not collected until about 300 years after Christ. It is a book - the worlds best book probably - that has gone through major rewrites every appx 30 years for the past 1700 years after being passed around orally for for hundreds of years for many of the chapters. Claiming to "follow Christ"" - a historic figure living 2000 years ago, and claiming that you know what that man was really like is pretty far reaching. There is no way that any of us know what a forefather that died 100 years ago was really like, thought....

Copy much?

@888PsyMike888 even the spelling error

A troll is basically someone who winds people up, so calling them a troll is basically admitting they drew you in on the fishing line.

@Paul Jabber Well, it's how you handle these people that's what's important.

@Paul Jabber Trolls these days are lazy. Back when I was a kid if I wanted to annoy the crap out of total strangers I had to grab the phone book and start dialing random numbers; doing prank calls. My brother and I used to look for anyone named "Chuck" (or Charles) and start singing the "name game" song.

Rupert the dog might get jealous.

Surely it "thou" not "I" though... I mean not to be pedantic.

@B-Dro I said thou not I Or are u saying I should have said "I" not "thou"

@no username he means the commandments do not apply to their author. So... Murdering small children in Egypt us okay as well...

So it's like Batman with the Jocker?

@Daniel R ya I guess so

That's called "God of the gaps". Aka "I don't understand it, therefore god did it". But by that logic god is nothing more than a pocket of scientific ignorance which is getting smaller and smaller with every single scientific discovery that's made.
