Ricky is my favourite celebrity. He may be very rich, but he’s not forgotten his roots, he shouts up for animals (which is close to my heart), gives millions to animal charities, he engages with his fans/followers, during lockdown we had free shows on Twitter, every week, he was brilliant! He’s intelligent, he’s been in the same relationship for decades, and then there’s the writing/stand ups. The GOAT
A true comic genius and a thoroughly decent man. From The Office to After Life, this man bought to the table an engaging new form of comedy that still stays true to the past. Although we'll all have our opinions on him, I think he's great. The Ricky Gervais Show is a great series for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. You'll certainly enjoy it Love you Ricky ❤ 😊
It's true he's quite funny. Maybe instead of giving him the Golden Globes they should ask him to host the event ! Wouldn't that be hilarious if they would actually do that ?
I just love him to bits....his comedy is second to none....and then you've got something like Afterlife....where if you don't laugh and cry, you're not normal ....but my favourite character has to be Derek....we need more people like Derek in this world! Thank you for all the laughs Ricky, you're one in a million. Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
Derek is a true masterpiece and the most wonderful programme I've ever watched. But I hope Ricky doesn't see this and blow smoke up his arse. The other David (Earl) (Kev) is incredible. Call me babz
He's one of a rapidly decreasing number of celebrities who actually make me proud to be British, I would in all sincerity like to see Ricky in charge of the whole damn planet with John Cleese next to him. Perky was the greatest talk show host ever, no plugs just interesting talk.
John Cleese! John f*cking Cleese! Rich tory public school boy. Can't be compared. Those Oxbridge a*seholes controlled British comedy for far too long. Rather have Frankie Boyle, Sean Lock or Ricky Gervais any day. You can imagine having a proper laugh with them - the others just turned it on for the cameras. Monty Python were the most overrated thing in British comedy ever.
@theplayer2286 he's extremely funny. I dug out the car thrashing clip the other day, haven't seen it for years. It's as funny as ever. But as far as I know, he's right wing. Which disqualifies him. And Michael Palin had the odd niggle with him.
Apart from his Radio Show, his various Books, his Hosting 5 times of The Golden Globes, his Writing, his being The Director and Produce of films.His own films and cameo appearances..His Co-Writing The Idiot Abroad and Life's Too Short. His World Record Stand Up Tours, his weekly Podcasts(another World Record at one time) His Music career.His Writing and starring in The Office, Extras, Derek, and Afterlife. Winning seven BAFTA Awards, five British Comedy Awards, two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and the Rose d'Or twice (2006 and 2019).I ask you. What has this comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, and musician, done?
Nothing! 😂 he's been too busy with all your aforementioned... In my top 3 with Billy Connolly and Robin Williams ( Peter Kay 4th that's how good imho.)
@@garywilson6047 that was more slap stick comedy rather than the modern day verbal humour …but I take your point loved Laurel and Hardy and the Marx brothers
Ricky Gervais is probably one of the biggest narcissists in Showbusiness and he doesn’t let people forget how many BAFTAs he’s won (it’s seven )People are bored with his “I’m an atheist” rants as well…. Who cares?
@@christianblake3997 He's very intelligent, but he seems very into point scoring about it to me & displaying it all the time. That puts me off him. That was the whole basis of him & Karl. I'm so clever, you're so dim.
So true, unfortunately some people mistake his rebuttal of those who believe in cruel dangerous people, as elitist, Its not, he is just pointing out the obvious. People have got so used to believing films and social media, rather than facts, they don't know what's real. David Niven once said,, Fame is great,, Right up until you start believing your own publicity

To think his second ever to show he stared next to the likes of Ben stiller,Samuel L Jackson and di Nero everything he has wrote has been gold,them podcasts are bigger than ever. I’m seeing Ricky in 2 weeks can’t wait
I love watching Comedians being interviewed, they always come across as highly intelligent, quick witted and likable, for some reason very few actors have the same effect, I am often disappointed and am left with the impression that without a script and someone putting words in their mouth they are just like ordinary people caught in the headlights....neither impression is necessarily true, just the way they come across sometimes.....never seen any comedian who doesn't have a witty answer of comment on any question or subject, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams, Billy Connolly etc but all comedians are similar, not all are up to the aforementioned standard but they are all quick witted, you never want to start trying to match insults with a comedian cos you will lose every time, they will cut you down, eat you up and spit you out all in one sentence
@@donotwantahandle1111 extras are treated poorly imo. It’s boring on set at the best of times. They don’t get to eat until the cast and crew have eaten first. And all for £50
Curious as to the multiple comments about "canned" laughter. I can only assume these are people who aren't familiar with the UK/Ireland chat show format (so either Americans or those too young to remember actual live TV): it's in front of an actual audience. And people don't feel the need to applaud everything and whoop and cheer. I suspect that they often raise the mic volume to emphasise the audience reaction but surely this is industry standard.
This can be deduced from context and his appearance. It's before Extras has been broadcast but after the Golden Globe wins for "The Office". And around the release of Flanimals. So it's around 2003 - 2004.
"It's sortov like a really, sortov erm, trendy sortov, er, music, er, based action, it's sortov like a Mission Impossible meets James Bond!" "Sortov 10-hour days; sortov i-pod; he sortov clocked me; sortov run up to him; he looked sortov; sortov philosophise; first sortov 16 years." I sortov wonder what Ricky's favourite word is?!
I met Jarvis Cocker in a similar way at a tube station. Same response as Ricky did. Not a fan of Jarvis, but a quality and polite reply to, you know I know. Thing is I didn't. Still don't. Thanks Ricky for clarifying :D
i do like the idea of a slug like creature with suckers so powerful it can't move off the rock it was born on. Ingeniuos Idiocy, the VERY BEST kind, not very good fishing bait though.
Probably the only funny thing I've seen re: Flanimals. I MIGHT buy it after seeing all these reasons why they exist (or can't exist haha). I thought it was just a silly childrens' book with funny drawings until now.
Actually he is very woke, believes in fairness and diversity and he's making fun of the the aint-wokers in the way that Archie Bunker made fun of bigots.
I used to drive past Slough on the M4 to work in Windsor. You always knew, because... There is a sewage treatment centre there. So, when a sickening fart stench fills the car, that's Slough, baby. 😮
Slough can't really blame Ricky; the name itself says a lot! They designed the city that way on purpose. I haven't been back since the 90s, so I apologize if the pedestrian city center has transformed it into something akin to Paris.
He was a journalist you twit. He couldn’t gush over guests, he had to remain professional. Much like when you serve your favourite customer and need to ask them if they want large fries with their Happy Meal.
He's been dead a year, whatever hatred you feel towards him you could probably let it go now. Maybe you could redistribute that hate, share it between the other people you hate? It would be a shame to waste all that hate on a dead man. Have fun with all your hating 👍🏻
Smart, FUNNY!, and comes over as a down to earth, decent bloke.
Simply brilliant by just being himself and normal. No pretence, just naturally smart & funny.
As much as I like him, I do think much of what he does is premeditated and he is very good at acting like it’s spur of the moment.

"I'd adopt an 18 year-old lawyer so he could start paying me back straight away."
WC Fields giggled in his grave when Ricky said that.

I worked on the office and extras..and I can tell you extras was so funny, as the extras that do come on set are very odd.
