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.
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.
Yeah that was fake, Kimmel was saving face. That moment was one of the most brutal call outs I've seen, he literally got up in front of Kimmel's audience to tell him he was shit, and couldn't even deliver a canned joke properly and should be thanking his audience for their magnanimous charity to even waste their days and busy lives to sit there and watch him fail.
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.
@JackCarver10 What do you mean by turning the tables? Are you saying that the celebrities mock the general public? Also, when you say “they’ve been waiting for a legend like him for a long time’” what do you actually mean? Before Ricky Gervais turned the worlds greatest awards ceremony into a low brow comedy show, these shows rewarded actors for great work. There was a time when the public thought that was a good thing. Ricky Gervais is just playing into peoples cynicism and a lot of peoples desire for cancel culture. Ricky Gervais appeals to the everyday man/woman but a lot of people find his humour low brow and tasteless. I’m one of those people.
@Johnny how so? i think it's brilliant with cringe comedy , s1 was a bit weaker because michael wasn't fully thought out character but rather copy of the original uk series
@Gerard well duh That's what I mean, he's trying to act serious and offended but can't contain his smile. Thats the point i was making you utterly incompetent mental defective
@Steve Yang well duh That's what I mean, he's trying to act serious and offended but can't contain his smile. Thats the point i was making you utterly incompetent mental defective
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
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.
@Muzakman37 ever think that maybe it’s not genuine laughs. Maybe they are nervous laughs because truth is being revealed or perhaps they’re laughing because everyone else is. Ya never know, they’re all full of shit and scums of the earth.
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.
We look with amazement at the processes unfolding in countries that are used to considering themselves the flagships of progress. Of course, the socio-cultural upheavals that are taking place in the same States and in Western Europe are not our business, we do not go there. Someone in Western countries is convinced that the aggressive erasure of entire pages of their own history, the "reverse discrimination" of the majority in the interests of minorities or the demand to abandon the usual understanding of such basic things as mom, dad, family, or even gender difference, are opinion, and there are milestones in the movement towards social renewal. You know, I want to emphasize once again that this is their right, we do not go there. We only ask you not to enter our house especially. We have a different point of view, in any case, the overwhelming majority of Russian society - it will, of course, be more accurate to say - a different point of view: we believe that we should rely on our spiritual values, on historical tradition, on the culture of our multinational people. The adherents of the so-called social progress believe that they bring to humanity some kind of new consciousness, more correct than before. And God forbid them, the flag in their hands, as we say, forward. Only now you know what I want to say now: the recipes they offer are completely new, all this - as it may seem, to someone it will seem unexpected - we have already passed it in Russia, we have already had it. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also announced that they would change the entire customary way, not only political and economic, but also the very idea of what human morality is, the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, faith, relations between people up to the complete rejection of the family - this was the case - the imposition and encouragement of denunciations to loved ones - all this was announced as a step of progress and, by the way, it was widely supported in the world then and was fashionable, just as it is today. By the way, the Bolsheviks also showed absolute intolerance to any other opinions. This, in my opinion, should remind us something of what we are seeing now. Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to learn about domestic practices, which, fortunately, we ourselves have left, I hope, in the distant past. The struggle for equality and against discrimination turns into aggressive dogmatism on the verge of absurdity, when the great authors of the past - such as Shakespeare - are no longer taught in schools and universities, because they, these ideas, are considered backward there. The classics are declared backward, not understanding the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood, they release memo how and what to make a movie about, how many characters of what color or gender should be there. It turns out worse than the agitation and propaganda department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Countering the manifestations of racism is a necessary and noble thing, but in the new "culture of abolition" it turns into "reverse discrimination", that is, racism is the opposite. The obsessive emphasis on the racial theme further divides people, and after all, the dream of true fighters for civil rights was precisely the erasure of differences, the refusal to divide people by skin color. Let me remind you that I specifically asked my colleagues yesterday to pick up this quote from Martin Luther King, he said, as you remember: “I dream that the day will come when my four children will live in a country where they will be judged not by the color of their skin , but in accordance with their personal qualities ”- this is the true value. But something is there, everything is different, somehow now, we see, is happening. By the way, here, in Russia, our citizens in the absolute majority do not care what color a person's skin is, he or she is not that important either. Each of us is a human being, that's what matters. In a number of Western countries, the discussion about the rights of men and women has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, you will get there before the Bolsheviks suggested not only socializing chickens, but also socializing women. One more step and you will be there. Zealots of new approaches go so far that they want to abolish these concepts themselves. Those who risk saying that men and women do exist and this is a biological fact are almost ostracized. “Parent number one” and “parent number two”, “giving birth to parent” instead of “mother”, a ban on using the phrase “breast milk” and replacing it with “human milk” - so that people who are insecure about their own gender do not get upset. I repeat, this is not new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet culture-traders also invented the so-called newspeak, believing that in this way they create a new consciousness and change the value line. And, as I have already said, they have done such a thing that they still hiccup at times. Not to mention simply monstrous things, when children today are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa, in fact, they are imposed on them the allegedly available choice. They impose, removing parents from this, forcing the child to make decisions that can break his life. And no one even consults with child psychologists: in general, is a child at some age able to make a decision of this kind or not? Calling a spade a spade, this is already just on the verge of a crime against humanity, and everything is under the name and under the banner of progress. Vladimir Putin
@This Commentor agree but most people would be - at the same time, its the mark of a good person to be able to still take that second to process what was said and realise that its not harmful, leading them to take the joke well. This is something Will Smith needed
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!
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 could be the next guy to get slapped, someone just need to be having a bad day, but that risk is what makes it funny. If there were never any consequences for doing risky humour, it wouldnt be as funny. Will really just made comedians funnier, as we need that fear of consequences
@Sharon Washington is it possible that the smartphone you are using does not have creator?! Any sane person will agree it's impossible, how about me and you and other creatures?! And the whole universe, Do we created by nothing?! Our descendants as humans aren't apes which were fish and unicellular before that, this is the real bull shit with all due respect, we have a creator and there is a purpose in life find it before it's too late and like there is no one will explain to you how to use the smartphone like the people who created it, there is no one will tell you the how to live like the creator x read the quran and find the truth, watch Jeffrey lang lectures on BRvid, will explain to you better then me ... I wish you Think deeply about what im saying wish you all good
@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,
Westerns ask your selves why media blinding you and hypnotising you to not seeing the truth of Islam, because it's against porn, alcohol, gambling, drugs, nudity and indecent dress, bank interests, LGBTQ, and genders pronouns issue ,even pedophilia are now promoted by Netflix and other networks, the titans who benefit from these things own the media and the real solid giant wall blocking their way and ruining their plans is Islam, and you are their market, all what they want is to keep you their slaves their clients and market, they don't care for you after that if you going to the hell (Literally), anyways In case that your loyalty is for the truth not your desire, watch blogging theology channel,,,,,,,
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. 🤣🤣🤣
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.
@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.
8:55... All SMILES...While Sitting At TheTable with TheMonster...🤔 (Imagine if He Didn't Have TheBankAccount, That Allowed Him to "Pick&Choose".) NoBody Would Know Whom or What He Was...Because He Wouldn't Have Had TheMoney That Allowed Him to *BE* TheMonster We Found Out He Was.🤔
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!
Ricky Gervais the last of the 'old school' comics. The ones that had the talent to write and perform their material and the courage to just be themselves. I think of Ricky as this generation's George Carlin Someone who the networks allow to 'push the envelope' because their impact is huge, which translates into $$$ for them. But, even though taking the job and the money is the smart thing to do, neither Ricky or George allowed the corporate powers to change or dictate who they are or what they say. I hope the current generation sees this and understands the significance.

Wish he woulda replaced the Bill Cosby punchline with Harvey Weinstein. Harvey sitting right there. That woulda been the best thing ever.
It would have been cheap. Besides, Weinstein was made a scapegoat for enjoying the fact that women will happily have sex with Hollywood producers for roles. He didn't rape anyone.
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!
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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
