The thing I like most about Ricky is not that he's funny, but that he's super genuine. He isn't putting on some show to try to impress people, he's just being himself and saying whatever he's thinking.
The fact that he's been such a fucking savage for at least ten years to the talent and they keep bringing him back to rip them apart over and over makes it a thing of pure beauty.
Yea they need him the views for the award shows are dropping every year they need Ricky to Bring in the views he might be savage and so true and make them unhappy but he brings the views and the money.
it reminds me of the scene from grown ups where they do 'arrow roulette', they all know that arrow is coming, they just dont know if its coming for them XD
@Mikey B Yeah he did, especially after he saw himself on the big screen. Although at first he tried to take the joke quickly, and move on, he ended up looking uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed if I say so myself. Cheers to him for taking it for so long though, go short kings.
God I loved that speech at the Oscars. You could feel the stress in the room with all that truth!!!!! He doesn't bow down to celebrities and lick their asses and they don't like it. Keep doing what you do Ricky because we love you for it.
Celebrities have power but apple makes them look like nothing. I'm not surprised he can rip on Mel Gibson, but to be allowed to rip on Tim Apple is nuts.
Not sure what show you were watching, but I saw plenty of people in those audiences having a good laugh, just like any other audience would really. Some of 'em have a stick up their arse for sure, and everyone else laughs at them. Watch the audience reaction when he rips into Angelina Jolie, half of them are pissing themselves.
Ricky is real. He is funny because he doesn't care. He roasts the right people - often those who are wrapped up in themselves. He also roasts those whom he respects and knows have a sense of humor. He calls life as it is and not as some would have us believe it to be. He doesn't have an ego which is refreshing. He is an all around nice fellow.
@Sharon Washington with all due respect, Muslims are more Christians than the so called Christians, because we follow the true teachings of jesus, but you follow pegan churches.... You can watch ahmad deidat Or zakir naik,
Love his perspective on things. U can tell he grew up blue collar and never tires to remind the "elites" how hard it is out there and how ETERNALLY grateful they should be that ppl have allowed them to make a living off such a silly thing as acting.
@Doves you feel it in in his words that he came a long way...not saying that all these Hollywood stars had it easy but lots of them just got lucky with a role and they got stupid money out of it afterwards.
Ricky Gervais is absolutely hilarious, truthful, and a great entertainer. I love how he cares about animals and nature, and needless to say we share the same religious views!
Yes, one of his jokes that I remember, he was talking to his audience of something that happened to him - as he does - and it involved a trip of his in a helicopter and he was like, "If you've ever been in a helicopter you'll know - wait! Of course none of you have ever been in a helicopter!"
@Vaibhav Sharma Months late but I can help you out. Mel Gibson had a much-publicized DUI charge in 2006 where he made a few particularly offensive comments during his arrest. Ricky would poke fun at the incident more than once.
This man is the greatest, he's like the British version of Don Rickles, he has no fear, tells it like it is, & could care less who he insults! Thank you Ricky, one of the only truth tellers left!
Never really watched "The Office", but must state, I really have so much respect for Ricky Gervais. He says it as it is, i.e. Hollywood including most of the actors & actresses are a load of hypocritical wankers!!! PS, he was a singer. I think he featured in The Top of the Pops back in the 80s.
Ricky Gervais was always a source of inspiration for me at a high school, I'd get asked to host the pupils/students awards ceremonies (as it was the only way for my teachers to get me involved with any extracurricular activities) and I would always aspire to be as savage, dark and offensive as Ricky Gervais. Roasting my peers and teachers alike. My favourite joke and the one that got me finally banned from doing it, in my final year was about my highschool principal, Mrs Kahn. The joke was as follows: while she admitted that she wasted time implementing the blazer policy, she still denies her involvement in 9/11. Always got a lot of laughs, from both pupils and students, but I got a fuck load of scowls aimed my way. 🤣🤣🤣
4:15 I always die at the sight of Robert De Niro turning his head away from Martin Scorsese, so he can't see he's pissing himself laughing at the theme park gag!
I'm sure many celebs question whether they will attend when they find out Ricky Gervais is the host...! Nervous times for some of them when the spotlight is on them, it's glorious to watch!
I like a drink as much as the next man... Unless the next man... is Mel Gibson! I love how he cant resist to laugh at his own joke and he cracks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
go on ricky nice one as always keep roasting people and say it as it supposed to be said, legend as always, people these days cant or understand what a joke is or just simple humour
The way you transcend the idiotic phenomenon known as cancel culture is to just go no holds barred right out the gate and never apologize. Then everyone just kinda expects it like Don Rickles did back in the day but people could actually take a joke then. Gervais is a legend.
