That makes sense

I apply the same to cats.

If you genuinely act like that over an animal you are insane.

@@user-ty9xy3by5k takes one to know one I guess. 👎

It sounds like you think there are no bad dogs that it can only be a pure soul. 😂

Especially how the boys have some history together...love surpasses belief. Personal space and respect. Thank you both.

@@kategleason6481 yeah totally. The way Stephen talks about him now… we’ll in the monologue before this came on KZfaq. The deff disagree about religion but Ricky does seem pretty respectful about it and I like that. I don’t religionate at all but I don’t fuss about ppl who do.

Yeah I picked up on that also. hes a top human being

Had attended 2 George Carlin performances in the late 1980. I had the pleasure of by chance meet George as we were both on same escalator heading to the hotel restaurant, and talked for about 5 minutes. There’s something special about Ricky Gervais, which reminds me of George. Have a great week!

he also dressed up!

So sorry for your loss 😞

I'm sorry about your brother. Glad he enjoyed Ricky's work. 💜

My condolences.

Thank you all ❤️ we had the funeral service/wake yesterday for my bro and gave him a beautiful send off.

If it were true that most people don't understand his humor, he would not be famous. Sorry, you're that that exceptionally intelligent to be among the few who get him.

Karl Pilkington is really intelligent too. (:

A bit smug of you. Check his audience figures.

I love Ricky. I always have and his sense of humor is great. Also I love how irreverent he is about most things

He's the automotive dealer of comedy. Everyone knows they're not the only Ricky Gervais fan, but he makes you feel like you're his only fan.

I've watched _all_ the standup specials available on Netflix from only 5 comedians: Christina P, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Tom Segura & Ricky Gervais. They are some of the funniest people, imho.

he won't bend to the woke cancel mob

Ricky is very funny and does amazing impromptu and adlib. 👍👍

When he said don't act like that was normal before covid I died. 😂

Me too! He's an (inter)national treasure!!!

Ditto. I love Bill Maher too.

I'm guessing many people can relate. Love that he says it out loud. And the box conversation was truly stupid. Can't believe Stephen colbert thought that was a good one.

Absolutely!

Are you saying you're Ricky Gervais in female form? Uhm....hey there. Fancy a beer?

@@YeeSoest Ha!!! Good one !

To quote a friend “Don’t you dare wait. There’s a lot of beautiful dogs just waiting for the right home”. (I’d be a few years by then). Condolences Adi. But don’t hang about too long. You may just have a friend to home.

@@skoll_5682 Thank you, Skoll.

I lost my Cooper a year and a half ago. I still miss him every day! He was only 10 years old. He developed heart disease and was on medication for the last year of his life. He was a good dog. I haven’t been able to get another dog yet. Still mourning. If only they could live longer! 🙁

@@lisaspikes4291 Don’t forget they lived a full and happy life. Thanks to you. Cooper, I’m sure did. You won’t find another Cooper. But you can find another………. You sound like a home that’d be perfect for…………..;)

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

Afterlife is great as well, a bit heartbreaking. Okay, okay, I'll confess: I wept.

When we go on vacation, we look for off-leash dog areas. Yes, we’re the weird ones who hang out with other people’s dogs (if we don’t have our own with us).

@@MegaLilJen whew…I’m not the only one! When I was doing shift work and gone long hours (couldn’t have a dog) I used to visit the dog park on my days off. 😂

But like people, there are good dogs and bad dogs.

@@ChrisAlbertH47 not really. There are misunderstood, poorly trained, abused, anxious, or otherwise struggling dogs. Dogs aren't bad. They don't intentionally do bad things, unlike people who can understand that what they are doing is wrong, may or will hurt people, and then decide to do it anyway because they are selfish or lack empathy or any number of reasons. A dog doesn't bite someone because it's a bad dog or wants to hurt someone. It bites because it is scared and/or feels threatened (such as entering their territory/home) and an owner has failed to properly socialize and train the dog, or because an owner has abused it in the past, or trained it to be aggressive. Or in some cases because of a very strong pretty drive combined with not enough careful training with an owner that is assertive. Some dogs have more innate tendency to behave one way or another, but no dog intentionally does evil things, especially not premeditated things, like humans. And while a tragic number of dogs are euthanized due to bad behavior, in the vast majority of cases, this is typically because shelters and owners lack the resources both in money, kennel space, and qualified trainers with patience to help rehabilitate and train dogs that are untrained, traumatized, reactive, aggressive, or anxious.

@@ZebraGirl97 You're pointing out socialization and learning as reasons for why dogs act a certain way. The same can be said of people. No one is born bad. Though I would agree that between the two only people "should" be able to understand the consequences of their actions. Generally though, when we make distinctions between good and bad, we look at actions and their results. We don't always go into philosophical discussions about what the underlying causes are. That's another discussion entirely. Let's just say that I do agree that "bad" when it comes to people, are on a different level as "bad" when it comes to animals, like dog. My post was mostly tongue in cheek, don't read too much into it.

Cats AND dogs!!

@@marygoodson4920 I couldn't see the whole interview. I wonder if he mentioned his cat - Picklers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icuXmJWim9q3gGQ.html&ab_channel=LIVEKellyandRyan (I hope this link comes thru - Regards)

I'd be picking his favourite sandwich is mutton with chutney and chips...

@@davincisghost9228 he's actually vegan because he really is an animal lover--which makes me love him all the more.

Mark Twain 🥰 Totally agree Donald Bird .

I' m realy sorry for your loss.❤🌈🐕❤️

I watch him for his fangs

I think he has the most infectious laugh in the world

sometimes all you need to know about someone is whether or not they love dogs. :)

The Impossible Burgers are _absolutely_ delicious, though.. under normal circumstances.

I actually prefer good old Boca Burgers. All hail the flying Spaghetti Monster!

It doesn't affect most people's lives if they don't have that idea. 🤣

I think they do know and that's why he's popular with everybody and not just you. Jesus christ, people, you're not unique in your observations about famous people who have given hundreds of interviews displaying a trait lmfao

He has thought and had this idea for literally decades.

Are you most people? Because we do see it. Don't make such silly assumptions to make yourself feel special and smart lol.

He's not that bright really. He exposes himself to a range of topics because he's a writer he'd get nowhere if he didn't. Your average plasterer doesn't need to do that, but it doesn't mean they won't or can't apply intelligence or logic or rationale to any topic presented before them. I would however like someone to apply the argument made by The Strangers to him next time he professes his love for animals.

Colbert is super catholic and Ricky is an atheist , yet there is mutual respect and both men are intelligent and have a sense of decency. I like their interactions

Agree with you and hope to get back to Ireland soon! Love from 🇺🇸

💝💖Wonderful .

He's slightly above average. Real smart people don't agree.

@@xXscreamingkoalaXx Don’t agree with what?

@@wonderwoman5528 That he's brilliant.

@@xXscreamingkoalaXx And why don’t they? ;)

He's literally known for being the stupid persons idea of smart comic. He's not even a stand up, he does TV characters, he does the simplest of simplest pandering observational comedy.

Me too!

People ARE stupid; A person is usually pretty intelligent. Yeah, covid got some behaving poorly, while the rest seemly forgot how to interact with one another. And yeah, dogs do LOVE their people. And yeah, humans are brutal and violent, and act like animals, but have you ever tried talking to a dog?

Shelter dogs need owners too ☺ Or if that doesn't work, they need walkers and caretakers.

People and dogs are so needy they wear me out. My cats are my only "sanity"... which tells you how screwed up I am socially! lol

Furry unconditional love!

I really feel for you, it is heartbreaking when they leave. But she knew how much you loved her and did everything to give her the best life a dog could wish for…💜💜💜

Your poor, dear heart😢 I'm so sorry. (And thank you for the reminder to love on our pups, especially in the midst of your own heartbreak. I can tell your pet-lover bona fides are genuine and sincere. ♥️ Peace and Puppy love to you ♥️

My one and only tattoo reads, “dogs > people.”

Strange. In my country (Canada) its really pulled people together. Strengthened community and family, a strong sense of "We are all in this together", and support for 1st responders and essential workers. Yeah there are still a really small minority of deluded awholes who protested against covid measures (a few thousand) and got lots of media coverage...but 100,000+ students protest for increased covid measures gets no media coverage, because its not news - the vast majority is for protective measures and trust our gov't. 99% of people here support the covid response, but that 1% it gets all the news coverage because is a sensationalist story. Your elementary school education should have protected you against this....

@@jkim1316 if an animal that eats its own vomit and shit and attacks children is better than the people you know, maybe it’s you that’s the problem. I have been able to have wonderful relationships with people, and I find human beings to be much better company and they actually give you real love in return, unlike a dog which just wants food.

@@richardwadd9769 Guess you never had a dog.

@@richardwadd9769 i’ve yet to meet a human being who gives you unconditional love. And I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t. But you would never understand this obviously. . There’s a saying that goes “ Until One has loved a dog, apart of their soul has been unawakened .” But I wouldn’t expect a person like you to understand that. Very sad for you .

It's even funnier knowing how uncomfortable he was with the whole thing.

Sorry. Hang in there.

So sorry for your loss. 😢

Go to europe or Western country .

@@sureyyaekinci4630 excluding America, obviously

Looks like he put on some weight. Is he still vegan?

As someone from Europe, not all europeans are like that. Very, very few are.

You describe Ricky and myself as well. Introverts know.
