[@ruthholbrook]

Ricky is much kinder and more thoughtful with ordinary people.

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

Great animal advocate ❤

[@littlemy1773]

Unless they hurt animals, then he has zero filter lol. Rightfully so

[@aowin5022]

Ricky is a master in British sarcasm, he straight John ball, hilariously funny and true and down to earth. I have complete respect for him and he's definitely my favourite comdian.

[@muaythai.8474]

Calling out peodophiles isn't comedy relief it's wakey wakey

[@personofearth5076]

@@muaythai.8474 And without a doubt he meant everything that he said. You are right he did call them out.

[@mdx7460]

Never been sure why Ricky seems to be a ‘love him or hate him’ type of personality. I think he’s hilarious! And love that he came from a ‘normal’ background too. That’s why he just roasts all these silver spooners 🥄

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

I think it's because he is the literal embodiment of the David Brent character he plays in The Office. That character was supposed to be a deeply annoying, vainglorious slug of a bloke, with an ego that didn't match his talent. The more years go by and the more stand up you see, you realise the Office was not really acting for him. And there's little difference between a jobsworth in an office selling paper in Slough than there is to a multi-millionaire with unimaginable success in Hollywood. For over a decade now he's been angling for that anarchist, upset the apple cart streak, which just doesn't come across as authentic. He also seems to have fallen out with almost everyone he worked with in his earlier career.

[@roborat2000]

@@FRESHNESSSSSS I think you missed the whole point about why the Office was funny. It's not because the boss was annoying, which he wouldn't be on a day-to-day. The boss only fumbles and becomes annoying because the camera was there and he's trying to be someone he isn't. There's an episode of "Comedians in cars getting coffee" with Jerry Seinfeld where they both enter a pastry shop but got out without buying anything. Ricky felt bad and went back in to buy something. That pretty much sums up who he is.

[@ItsSVO]

@@FRESHNESSSSSS Ricky also doesn’t have a massive ego, why is it you think so? Most of him talking himself up in his stand up isn’t real, it’s a joke.

[@Aperegrine90]

I like The Office, Extras and Life’s too short but really don’t like him. Massive ego and I wonder if it was really Stephen Merchant who had the real talent.

[@ItsSVO]

@@Aperegrine90 but why do you think he has a massive ego? Merchant and him were a perfect duo but Ricky’s massive success on his own speaks for itself quite honestly.

[@pollyduron674]

I absolutely LOVE him. The fact that he literally has zero ***ks to give is why I appreciate him. All his shows and movies are SO good. I grew up in a house that if we didn't like you, we ignored you...if we liked you, you would get trash talked and teased relentlessly. Lol

[@timtreefrog9646]

I think the general consensus with Gordon is that he shouts and swears for the cameras, but really loves his family. In fact he is a total softie. He has done a few shows cooking with his daughter and mother. I had to laugh when he made something for his Mum who said it was horrible 🤣 "My Mum is my biggest critic I need to make her happy and then I know the dish is good" Mama Ramsay is on a whole other level.

[@pollyduron674]

I love him and admire him. He does love his family.

[@FelixvonMontfort]

I recommend Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip

[@helvete983]

The comment to Kate Winslet was a callback to an episode of Ricky's sitcom she starred in called Extras. Ricky plays a struggling actor who plays as an extra in films, in one scene Kate (as herself) tells Ricky's character Andy "the key to winning an Oscar is to do a Holocaust film" The show was filmed 4 years before Kate actually won an Oscar for her role in The Reader.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

elton john is british he can take banter based on stereotypes ,he even did a sketch with little britain on his gayness

[@trevorjackson4157]

Yes, I heard him describe himself as a podgy little pop star!

[@charlesjay8818]

Elton also did a sketch with Mr bean, it's very very old but so funny

Ricky is actually my favourite human being. Smart, funny, humble, real, caring, I mean I love comedy and IMO he is the best, but he is also the kind of person I strive to be.

[@QuotidianStupidity]

Loves animals too

[@taniaPBear]

@@QuotidianStupidity Big part of why I love him.

[@MDM1992]

He's good there's no doubt about that, but the best? No, that's an insult to so many other great comedians who most likely inspired him in the first place.

[@taniaPBear]

@@MDM1992 It's not an insult to any one. It's my personal opinion, that's what IMO means, I wasn't speaking for anyone else.

[@missr7340]

Saw him in Sheffield a few weeks ago . He's just hilarious. It's the best antidote to the daily grind.

[@michaeldaley7511]

Well done Joel. That was an on the spot appraisal of the British sense of humour. The more we love you, the more we take the piss. 😘 for us sarcasm is NOT the lowest form of wit

[@MrWilletts]

This is how people in the UK talk to our best friends. 😂 😂

[@krpurple2678]

I have to be careful how I react in front of people I don't know because it's how I think too, mostly in my head lol We were brought up in Australia on English and American comedy but The Young Ones, Monty Python, Blackadder etc were my some of my favourites

[@MasterIceyy]

True, the english actors and celebrities Ricky was making jokes about just laugh as they know what he's doing, and he's friends with most of them, like Elton and Keifer, it's only the Americans that think he's being offensive

[@eily_b]

The first comment to Kate Winslet was actually a running gag in Extras, the series with Ricky where he plays an extra at movies and Kate Winslet as the star of a movie talks to him and tells him you only get Oscars when you play disabled persons or being in a WWII one. 😄

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Love Ricky he’s hilarious. And smart.he’s not a lazy comedian

[@paulybarr]

If you loved The Office, you will love Extras. Ricky plays an 'extra' on various film and TV shows. Each episode features a famous guest actor, both American and English, playing themselves- Kate Winslet, Daniel Radcliffe, Patrick Stewart etc

[@bobpalmateer5508]

Best comedian on the planet. Hope your exams, final essays are going well. Will try to send a letter before Christmas but have had pneumonia for 10 days now; not much energy. Please do another Tea-time and please include Will. 🇨🇦

That was just what is needed to cheer us all up 😂

[@thescepticalviking9127]

Ricky is on another level and a man of the people

[@jtre5387]

Simply Brilliant, Ricky is probably the most intellectual comedian on the planet. There is always a combination of critical sarcasm with a powerful underlying message. His religious jokes are not only hysterical but point out the utter Maleficent hypocrisy of religion. 🤣🤣🤣

[@KarenDay-me8ri]

Ricky and Miriam are just the best. Both so straight 🤣😂

[@PhillipLWilcher]

[@msmrsro]

I really enjoyed Ricky’s show “Derek”. A very sweet comedy/drama.

[@catwoman2582]

There’s an animated show called the Ricky Gervais show with Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant that’s been drawn from their podcast. Bloody funny.

I have never watched the office but as i seem to have the same sense of humour as you , i am going to give it a try.

[@denisemackay1411]

Loved The Office & Afterlife. Ricky is brilliant

[@chipsthedog1]

The very first joke with Kate Winslet is referring to a show called extras that Ricky wrote and starred in, it's brilliant and every episode they have a different guest star playing themselves and it is hilarious and gives you a good insight on some top A listers who have a great sense of humour and are down with laughing at themselves. It would be amazing to see you react to the show. Off the top of my head some of the guest stars include Kate Winslet (obviously) Johnny Depp, David Bowie, Robert de Niro, Samuel L Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Sir Patrick Stewart and Daniel Ratcliffe (Harry Potter) and many more. As I was writing this someone on the video mentions the new series of Extras & Yes you should definitely react to it, my personal favorites are the episode with Kate Winslet & the episode with Vinnie Jones and Ross kemp but David Bowie singing a song about Ricky is a brilliant scene although the whole episode isn't among my favourites. I believe you can watch the scene of Bowie singing about Ricky on KZbin

[@claregale9011]

He loves animals ..enough said .

[@more-reasons6655]

I honestly think you should look deeper than what someone thinks about animals. The furthest extreme of this was the Nazi party banning testing on animals as Hitler was a massive lover of animals. So no that is not enough said

[@sophieandwayne]

Keep it up jps you are doing great, all the best from the U.K.

[@-R.Gray-]

I think the award shows are less spontaneous than you think. All of his jokes are gone over before hand with lawyers, and they discuss censorship. You can also tell from the examples of the camera always being on the right person at the right time (eg. Keifer Sutherland and Elton John), that the camera moves have been arranged according to the monologue.

[@rjim1]

That Mel Gibson line is is a classic! 😂

[@michaeldaley7511]

Peter Kay is top for me but I think Ricky is a genius

That was quite entertaining, will start googling Ricky 😉 BTW First time I watched your video without staring too much at your cute face haha

[@alexandermills9965]

Ricky Gervais is just British humour in a nut shell we don't care who we insult whether it's your family friend strangers or a disabled child dying of cancer. We'd just sat that, 'he might not have long to live but at least he wouldn't have to worry about getting good marks at school let alone paying taxes or a mortgage.'

[@ThomS8]

The original "Office" was great, I feel the same way!

[@JoeJigsy]

[@denisescutt1865]

Listen to Peter Kay’s ‘misheard lyrics. Don’t forget DaveAllens sketches . Dry and clever

[@lolsaXx]

I think Tom Hanks hates Ricky the most.

[@jamescpalmer]

Lol I doubt it Hanks was originally a comedy actor, i knew a guy from the states who HATED tom hanks because he said he "could never take him seriously" because he just remembers him as a comedy actor, so seeing him in all these straight rolls really messed with him.

This funny guy asked what we thought of Gordon Ramsay ( I’m British) why do you think all his programmes are mostly in USA. He’s offensive, up himself and why the hell do any women think he’s fanciable? I loathe him so much plus he’s had hair plugs and cosmetic surgery. Only my US friends like him. Ricky Gervais however is hilarious and doesn’t court publicity. Great KZbin I just found today! 🐾😺💕

Have you seen ' A Bit of Fry and Laurie'? I think you'd like it, particularly the Health Club sketches 😀

‘Who is your favorite comedian… and why is it Ricky Gervais?’ 😂

[@lisasmith2660]

I love Gordon Ramsay, he is a Michelin star ⭐ chef so knows what he talks about, he is quick witted, yes he swears on TV but he is also a family man and if he does shows before 9pm he doesn't swear so he does it for impact and to get the job done, he comes from Scotland and he came from nothing, worked hard to where he is today

I worked for Gordon a few times in different places. He's a big softy really lol. No, look, like any boss he could be tough, but see if you done your job and listened to what he was teaching he was a good guy.

Glad you like our humour,you have great comedians also.check out Peter Kay,very naturally funny guy

[@BetsyBigNose]

The joke to Kate Winslet was because she was in his show Extras when that was mentioned.

[@roborat2000]

The context about telling Kate Winslet to do a holocaust movie goes back to the TV series "Extras" where Ricky cast Kate to be a nun and the script had her said that she needed to do a holocaust movie so she could finally win an Oscar. This award show was after Kate won an Oscar for the movie The Reader - obviously which was about events that happened in Nazi Germany.
