ricky gervais is a terrible person with no social skills

he single handedly ruined that "Talking with Comedians" show because you've got 4 comedians there all sharing their thoughts/stories, but in every single moment of the show you've got Ricky Gervais interjecting with his dumb laugh and yelling something to interrupt. The other 3 comedians are all calm and conversing with each other like normal, social individuals while that fucking clown just ruins the whole show.

He's like the Jimmy Fallon of comedians, but more annoying.

Only good thing he's come up with is An idiot abroad.
The best part is he doesn't appear in the show at all.

I'm not super familiar with Gervais so I'm not sure where the hate-on comes from. But I watched about the first half of this special and it was quite good. He also addressed how people have reacted to his non-PC comments in the past, and how "comedian in hot water" is a laughable concept.

I fucking love Gervais. Used to love listening to The Ricky Gervais Show podcast with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Shit was fucking hilarious.

Also loved the huge dump he took on Hollywood at the 2010 Golden Globes. So much outrage lol.

The ironic thing is that Ricky Gervais did a dumb bit where he laughs obnoxiously at big bang theory scenes.

I'd like to do the same bit everytime he opens his mouth.

HAHAHAHAHA RICKY, GOOD ONE.

He made fun of transgenders. Even Chappelle caught a hard time with that, they think they're off limits to comedians.

That's what pisses me off.

I've seen them (gays, transgenders, etc) laughing at what could be constituted as offensive to others, but as soon as the fire hits anywhere near their neck of the woods they get all umbraged and take their shit to mat...

...over a fucking joke...

of a stand up set...

...from a comedian (whose job is to poke fun at everything).

Where's all of that outrage when those same comedians make fun the stuff their laughing at? Do they hover above the rest of us? Fuck off.

I watched the new special last night
basically he said a joke about how making fun of a trans person doesn't mean that he's making fun of them because they're trans
he brought up caitlyn jenner and then talked about how it turned out people were upset he dead-named her (referred to her as bruce)
he then went on about how he was referring to incidents involving jenner when she was bruce (the car accident stuff) and that regardless of whether she's a man or a woman (and he was using the correct pronouns except when he was dead-naming her), she's a terrible person

he then finished this all up and went straight to talking about how he identifies as a chimp and wants to get surgery to look like a chimp

it wasn't offensive, but it was lazy once he got to being a chimp

But the outrage from certain groups was expected. Because he literally always gets the same outrage from the same groups.
