RG joking about loving "new women" is hilarious!

Ricky is a master at pointing out the ludicrous standards enforced by the clueless mobs that exist today. The hypocrisy, the double standards - the only sad thing is that there aren't enough like him speaking up.

I'm in tears with laughter. You don't get a better comedic genius than him.

The narrative from those comedians really is 'I wish I was born a comedic genius and could simply wait until I was 40 to bother to do anything about it, then take the world by storm'. In reality, Ricky's clearly a hard worker, who's done the hard yards in everyday, 'real' jobs with an incredible yet otherwise normal life experience, and the uncanny ability to make fun of it. His observations and intellectual take on his and our surrounds are pure gold, hence the well deserved wealth and success.

Also, Ricky didn't just "write the Office and suddenly became famous", he had been on the grind for years before that. He used to appear on the 11 o'clock show back in the 90's as a comedian and definitely did not just appear on the scene immediately after the Office. Ricky had done stand-up back then, in smaller venues, but I think he always wanted to get into TV. However, the reason he does stand-up shows now (he doesn't have to) is because he always enjoyed doing them. I don't think he ever really toured like some stand-ups have to, but to say he never really had to graft is just nonsense.

He dances the line of comedic irony perfectly.

The Father & Daughter joke has more context to it than that, glad you pointed that out. Great reaction guys.

If a person makes me laugh then they are comedians, I love Ricky, he always makes me laugh and smile.

your face as it was being told, and your wifes reaction LOL

The act of God joke and the Hitler joke kill me every time. I think that Ricky is hilarious and people who say he isn’t a real comedian are jealous 😊😂

The other joke he should have told at the party was "why did the little girl fall off the swing, because she had no arms" :)

As a Brit I love Ricky his other shows are brilliant too.

Inappropriate jokes: Before Lucy Letby trained as a nurse she was fired by McDonald’s for giving free shakes to the kids.

I had about 900 DVDs years ago and I sold all of them bar the Ricky Gervais ones, Animals, Politics, and Fame. I'm keeping them forever lol.

Ricky is hilarious just wish he would do more stand up than TV. It's so much better

RG is a great comedian, writer & actor, rising from his underclass background to become a multimillionaire.

Ricky and Louis,the two best comedians today,and gaffigan's good too!!

Ricky is a natural.

Excellent choice. Ricky forms part of my personal holy trinity of (living) comedians, along with Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle :) Edit: Huh. I may have to make that a holy quad, given Rhod Gilbert exists and is himself.

The make something up joke, is the best joke Ricky has ever made, because of the shock it gives people who watch it. Especially Americans...

Ricky was around a LONG time before The Office! He didn’t have it easy as you say. Try looking up ‘The 11 O’Clock Show’. It’s where I first came across him, when he had a (max) 5 minute section in this comedy news show. He was good but yet to be great. You’ll also find it was where Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) first made his mark. Same 5 minutes.

Ricky gervais was doing stand up,long before Steven merchant and the office

Oooh Ricky didn’t have to spend 6 nights a week travelling the country with predictable material . But what did he do before the office was that easy or a struggle for recognition, or did he just divine the brilliant observation that was the office . Maybe Ricky had the worlds most successful podcast for a while . And maybe Ricky can sell out theatres and arenas wherever he goes , maybe he can stand up infront of Hollywood elites and rip them to shreds , where every other comic just sucks up to them ! Boo to the haters .

Well he did milk that joke for all it was worth 😂

The joke at around 6 minutes isn't Ricky's joke. I don't remember who did it but it's quite an old joke. From like the 1980s/1990s if I remember right. Originally, it was a little girl giving a statement to a police detective. Everything else is the same - it was just little girl and a detective rather than a father and daughter.

When yous gonna start doing, the ricky gervais show, karl pilkington ahah hilarious

Ricky Gervais overnight success ? You missed his first incarnation as an 80s pop star but you can find him in his band Seona Dancing here on YT.

Fen just started watching you. Fantastic, were you from you sound like a teesside lad that's why I ask.

Thanks for uploading) greetings from Ukraine❤

Stand up is the balance between hoho and haha. The hoho factor can be limitless if the haha component provides the equilibrium and nobody in the world understand this formula better than Gervais.

In my opinion he is the best of all time.

Ricky is a genius 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I remember there being a guy called Adolf working in Sainsbury's a few years back. Got to admit it's different.

What tune was that intro

camera makes it look like a show from the 1980's

Working the clubs is a comedian’s apprenticeship.

Two nations, separated by one language

If they make U cry laffin .they are a comedian..most modern make me angry.

No 'big train' on the british comedy tour?

How he thinks of this stuff I just don't know. It's outrageous but so true.

My favourite joke is one i know about Alzheimer's but i can never remember it

I see Czech flag, I give like :D

That paused part was so very... bloody.... bad! 😂 f6akes!

It´s not that illogical to protect marriage just for heterosexuals, The concept conceived was for a binding relationship between people for the production and security of the next generation ..That is behind the meaning of the word marriage....

from norway, im lonly

Do fred dibnah reaction laddering 300ft chimney

I love that Fen had this hand on his face for that one joke but also explained the context. So many of these reactions miss that

Think we shou ld start a campaign to make Adolf a more popular name, i have started with my dog, but only because im a big addidas fan.

Try Jimmy Carr

you sound like a southern northumbrian. is that (for comedy effect) insulting? ;-)

Have you tried Frankie Boyle

I love it when Ricky ridicules the god beliefs and religion.

There is a movie - the man who sued God. When his boat i destroyed by a act of God, he sues Gods people aka the church.😄🙂

No good comedians have ever said that about Ricky Gervais. They all respect him, only ultra liberal comedians have said that. Tiffany Haddish hasn’t skipped the line, she’s terrible and not selling tickets, so it’s not a good example.

Dave Chappelle does this as well comedians are leading the fight against woke but also leading the fight for ir👍 love Ricky

By the logic that Gervais isn't a "real" standup comedian - there are many greats that would be included in that list - including Robin Williams. He played some clubs (more for his own benefit than the audience - keeping himself sharp) but never really "struggled" and was cast in television quickly. His true standup career didn't become a thing until after he was famous.

Ricky Gervais and a fat man got on a bus,well...a fat man got on a bus....Fares fair Ricky..

I'm not really a fan of Ricky Gervais, not because of the type of humour that he does, I just don't particularly like him as a person, but these jokes are hilarious, even the one with the little girl telling her dad what the man in the park did, they're funny to be because I'm too old (50) to be offended by much, if anything, but also because these sorts of jokes really REALLY piss off all the wokies, libtards and every single one of the PC brigade

All these PC "shock" reactions PC has engendered are nauseating. It seems many human beings have to have some kind of prudery going to show what"good" people they are. The old sexual prudery is run down now people find another senseless way to signal their "goodness".
