      I think it's darker than that. It's parody of Gervais thinking he can make joke about whatever he wants no matter how inappropriate or offensive, as long as it's in the context of a joke. They're exaggerating that but it is recursive because they are doing the same.

      This is a spot-on impression of his Office-type comedy, and how he was when I saw some of the stuff with Karl Pilkington in it (which I couldn't bear so stopped watching and can't remember that much about). However, Extras, After Life, his stand-up are all pretty different to that.

      He's complained about the "Jewish lobby" in the USA.
      He called Obama a "loathsome individual" and "creature".
      He took a picture of refugees fleeing war and used it to create an anti-immigration propaganda poster.
      He said people with HIV should be banned from coming to the UK.
      He's boasted about how many women he's got pregnant.
      He blamed immigrants for causing traffic when he was late to a speaking event (for which he gets paid £100k+ per year).
      He said people speaking a different language on the Tube makes him uncomfortable, and would be unhappy if a Romanian family moved in next door to him.
      He boasted that he won the Brexit campaign "without a bullet being fired" a week after one of his fans shot and murdered an anti-Brexit MP.
      He thinks climate change is "a scam".
      He thinks Trump should get a Nobel Peace Prize, despite nearly causing WWIII.
      He gets his multi-millionaire mates to fund his political campaigns (and then neglects to declare it).
      He pretends he's "a man of the people" because he likes beer and the pub, all while making millions of pounds and profiting massively off the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
      Don't get me wrong - he's a clever politician. But he's a despicable person.
