Most cross the line, but it’s how it’s done that makes the difference between a funny joke and an unfunny one. Here Ricky does it excellently.
Except it is not even slightly funny because that was not Hitler's basis for hating jews. His basis for hating jews was an article by Karl Marx known as "On The Jewish Question".
@@caleymckibbin2304 it’s a joke. It’s not supposed to be factually correct. It’s supposed to make you laugh. But you get triggered because “zomg hitler never killed Jews because of this”.

Even he would have been tripped up by the Apple T's & C's lol.
If you read the Gay Science by Nietzsche, he said at the same time how the Nazis should never grow in power because they will destroy everything and how much he loves Jews.
What is crazy is that Nietzsche sister tried to censored her brother’s writings to make herself popular with Hitler and the Nazis.
Nietzsche hated Christians, Muslims, and Hindus but loved Jews and Buddhist.

Its not defending him. Its just history. He wasn't particularly anti sematic, so the comment makes no sense. Their is no commentary on anything else horrific he did. Its like stating hitler was Austrian and having someone claim you are trying to defend germany for WWII or the holocaust by saying that.
This era of his standup was a lot more thoughtful and well executed
And original. He’s now self conscious.
Than?
I just love how Gervais takes both Nietzsche and Hitler and channels them through his inimitable personality to craft this hilarious vignette. Imagining Hitler getting all embarrassed like Ricky and pressing his thumb in a preoccupied manner whilst pretending not to listen is something that'll never get old. People offended by Gervais simply don't get the joke and really need to laugh more ...
He triggers liberals. The greatest sin in Hollywood.
@@sticklyboi when was this controversy? Gervais hating jews.
His humor isn't mainstream enough to get a casual laugh out of me, and not dark enough to really hit my humor - and I can't stand his personality.
But that are all problems I personally have with his performance, and it's only my opinion and not a fact.
@@sticklyboi people who get offended by Ricky are Hitler from his joke.
I could actually see Adolf Hitler acting like this, he wasn’t always the big tough guy, that was mostly a persona he took on, when he was giving public speeches.

3:28 ?
Friedrich Nietzsche literally published a passage about how dumb antisemitism is.
I do not recommend scrolling through the reply thread.
Not only did he write about it in Wahnsinnszettel, but he also acted upon it. He openly antagonised Schmeitzner, who wanted to take aways rights from jews via a petition to Bismark.
Nietzsche also later broke with parts of his family due to the rising antisemtism in germany.
„Die verfluchte Antisemiterei verdirbt mir alle meine Rechnungen, auf pekuniäre Unabhängigkeit, Schüler, neue Freunde, Einfluss, sie hat Richard Wagner und mich verfeindet, sie ist die Ursache eines radikalen Bruchs zwischen mir und meiner Schwester.."
(The damned antisemitism destroyes all my plans for financial independance, students, friends and poisoned my friendship with Wagner, it is the reason of my radical distancing to my sister)
While we can argue on Nietzsches idea of the Übermensch and Nihilism or even some of his personal life, he made quite clear that his understandment of Nihilism and moral evaluation are not to be taken in form of social darwinism like hitler tryed to spin it.
@@firstnamett4656 no not Hitler Himself, however the idea of social darwinism which he was very fond off and the NSAP pushed with the idea of the Herrenrasse, is somewhat based on the conflation of the concept of evolution and Nitzsches Nihilsm (which is faulty but that's how it was)
Furthermore the idea of the Übermensch in Germany, caused assosiation with the later used Herrenrasse.
@@firstnamett4656 He was an admirer of Nietzsche, but not well read enough to actually know what old Fred was talking about.

Proof that anything can be the subject of comedy if done correctly

@@footballnerd277 nah, it's easy.. well... easier than filling a whole theater with nasa scientists who could understand the joke at least ^^
A deeper punchline for Nietzsche's new book would have been The Gay Science, which is actually the title of a Nietzsche book.
I expected him to make this exact punchline but he went with something else.
@@pumpkingamebox I think he didn't want to assume too great a level of knowledge from his audience.
@@Sam_on_UA-cam True enough, they were laughing at his 2 kleenex joke before actually realizing what it meant. lol
What struck me was that Hitler did in fact also try to annihilate European gypsies.
@@morningstar9233 Yes. He was expecting some knowledge of WWII from his audience. But I think knowledge of the title of Nietzsche's books was asking too much.
In reality, Nietzsche hated nationalism, the big state, and anti-semites: “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, that is the end of German philosophy,” he wrote, and “I will have all antisemites shot.” His sister, however, was a Nazi before Nazism, and she took charge of his estate and writings long before his breakdown/death--hence misinterpretations of him like this one.
@Kalergi is trash well they wouldn’t have been translated into English, because they were used in the German language in Germany during the Nazi Regime
So many people trying to defend Nietzsche but his ethics was despicable. His sister only edited the publication of “Will to Power” he talks about all these ideas in his earlier works such as”Beyond Good and Evil” and “On the Genealogy of Morality” which were both published before his death. In those he blamed the Jews for a radical re-evaluation of morality which he claimed harmed the German people which he saw as naturally superior and even referred to as a “master race”.
This stuff should have never been written to begin with and was bad philosophy. Ricky Gervais majored in Philosophy at UCL. He’s not an idiot. This skit is ridiculing Nietzsche for his bad take as much as hitler. People need to stop defending him. Those two works of his are indefensible and influenced not only hitler but also Mussolini who was a huge fan of Nietzsche’s concept of the will to power, which was developed first in these earlier works before his sister ever published a posthumous work of that title.
@@TheCelestialvision That makes no sense, because those last 2 books were edited by his sister when they were published. She did this during his time in isolation when he went mad, not after his death.
Plus those books do not talk about the Jews re-evaluating what morality is which harms the german people. Quite the opposite, where he believes the super-human he calls it - seeks absolute truth by disregarding what society historically deems as important, moral, etc. because he saw morality as nothing more than humanity trying to justify their own selfish desires. He even directly points out that a “super-human” must disregard their race, nationality, and any link to others because it causes bias. Here he sites the austrian rural area where he grew up in and how much he despised it for being nationalistic. Indirectly spitting at Hitler, who was a nationalistic austrian.
While I do not subscribe to Nietzche as he is painfully nihilistic, he has insights to the meaning of good and evil and how neither truly exist - rather a state of being where desires are acted upon in different ways that society will determine which paths are bad and which are good just to fuel a “us vs them” hatred against those who do the actions they dont do. The term “super-human” wasnt meant as a term for any race of human, rather a state of humanity anyone can reach by removing all bias from their perspective. In German the term is actually “UberMensch” which directly translates to “over-man” describing a man’s triumph over bias. Not exactly “superman” but thats how his sister and Hitler and Mussolini twisted his definition to fit their narrative.
I suggest looking up “Sisyphus 55” and watch his video on Nietzche’s life and his philosophy for a summary. Pretty sure Nietzsche was a bit racist so im not saying he was a perfect human being, but the facts should be laid out straight
@@sandshark2 Nietzsche did not display good (intellectually rigorous) philosophy in his works of ethics, which defended a view of ethical nihilism. That is, the meta ethical view that denies that morality exists as a thing in itself. His argument for this is to go through the etymology of words from different languages and draw conclusions about the fundamental nature of morality from this rather than than from making any logical argument for this position. And he very clearly implies that the Germans were harmed by the Jewish revaluation of values (an argument that itself doesn’t make sense as other ancient religions like Zoroastrianism, considered likely older than Judaism, also practiced things like compassion and concern for others).
I’ve read his direct work and it uses a lot of similar notions and wording to the nazis. I’m not saying he himself was a nazi, as he died before they came to power, but his notion that there is no objective morality and all that matters is being strong and being able to exert your power over others, is definitely consistent with their fascist thinking.
@@TheCelestialvision Ok first comment:
I agree with the beginning, as thats essentially how I attempted to explain his philosophy but im not good with words.
However I dont know where you got the Jewish hatred from as he only used his Jewish town as an example when describing how he sees the world, same way someone may criticize the israeli government for being Zionists. I also never saw any fascist rhetoric and instead much of what he discussed as a danger to human progression was authoritarians and narcissists due to their avid use of good and evil to justify genocide, death, etc. he was in no way a nazi, nor a fascist (nazism and fascism are very different but I assume you know that)

Missed your mark just a tad
Lee Sylvester It’s just words; there is no defense there. It would be the equivalent of saying, “I take offense,” without alluding to what was actually offensive.
@@pizzaboy3946 We already lost it.
Let me put this into perspective.
Mark Zuckerberg recently expanded the Community Guidelines on facebook, which essentially banned Holocaust denial, censoring critical analysis of historical events.
I saw somebody who was happy with the decision, being a free speech advocate, I was offended.
This dude was from Australia and had olive skin similar to an Italian or Greek, though his last name suggested Italian, but he had a funny looking nose.
My off the cuff comment to him was "with a nose like that, I'm not surprised on your position on the matter"
This dude lived in Australia, a big nose isn't exclusively a stereotypical facial feature for Yews, and whilst I will admit to the intention of the comment, I received a 30-day ban for Harrassment and Bullying.
But here's my point.
On a daily basis, not only do I say much worse to people on Facebook, but so do a great many others, and this is the first ban I've ever received specifically for harrassment and bullying.
I didn't know if the guy was Yew-ish or not, the insult was misappropriated for all I know and in all likelihood it was.
Nonetheless, I'm in the digital gulag for 30-days. I don't even hate Yews, like I said, I'm just a free speech advocate.
But I will say this.
It is a directly observable and self evident truth, that historically, you've only ever had to look to those you cannot criticise, to see who the oppressors and tyrants of the times were.
@@discipleofhermes563 thanks for that. Regarding the Holocaust, I think it probably happened but I wasn't there at the time and my views are based on what historians tell me. It is still repugnant that no one can hold a contrary view and, indeed, Christopher Hitchens lambasted the decision to prosecute David Irving for expressing his views. There should be no prerequisite of freedom of speech to be factually accurate (few of us are in the long run) or in "good taste." I understand a chap called Toby Foster set up a free speech union, with a condition imposed on its members that they were things tgey could not say! And I'm not talking about inciting violence or shouting fire in a crowded cinema, which are not expressions of free speech anyway.
Yes, the hard left are the fascists and tyrants but, of course, they have virtue on their side and their moral superiority affords them the right to dispense with trivial things such as free speech but, for the rest of us, we'd better make sure we cling onto it.
Such a great comedian and human being.
The more times you watch this , the funnier it is because you understand the humour for what it is , brilliant.

He's a comic genius. Happy birthday, Ricky.
Love how he goes full David Brent when playing Hitler
Politology is the study of politicians and how they can be useful for humans.

Turn on the subs. Trust me its good.
When I was in elementary school I used to steal spoons from the cafeteria. No idea why, but I just always had spoons in my pockets. One of the townies that lived by the sporting goods store would always say hi to me, and I would talk to him about stuff. One day I was taking a pencil out of my pocket and a spoon fell out. He laughed and grabbed it, asked if he could have it, I said that's fine, I have more. One day he's on his stoop with another guy and they stand up and come up to me and ask me for a spoon. So I gave them each a spoon, and it became a regular thing. I would walk home, pass the guys, give them spoons, and go home. I told this story to my grandmother years later, when I was about 20, and she goes, "Wait, the junkies by the sports shop? You gave them spoons?" people.. I was stealing spoons from school and handing them out to junkies so they had something clean to cook their heroin on. When I was 10 years old. Lol I still think about that.

We NEED comedians like this, more and more.
"Do we need them." Classic Karl Pilkington line.
I love Karl pilkington
Seeing this for the umpteenth time. Makes me laugh even in the middle of a terrible war, worst ever, I since the holocaust. Thank you Ricky
You know it's jokes when it's uncomfortable & so ridiculous which is why it's funny. Comedy is about the absurdity of a situations.
"The gypos, do we need 'em" is one of my favourite works by Nietzsche 👍🏻
finally, a public figure who understands dark humor.
No, a public figure who's not AFRAID to make dark humor in modern society...
@@davidtucker9498 no, a public figure who knows how to make dark humor without just mocking people

Pretty sure he’s mocking Hitler.
There was a shower scene 😂😂 3:32
The pause ... the look ..... 😂
That scoff at 1:19 is one of the best things i've ever heard. No syllable punchline.
We need more comedy like this
Gervais is literally a genius.
the "shower-scene" scene always gets me good XD
