Ricky Gervais' laugh = cure for depression

[@hmu05366]

hey baby cakes

[@ksc743]

Bit late, but youtube is doing this now, putting years old videos up. I really Was feeling depressed this morning tho. Started watching Ricky Gervais on the Golden Globes. Been laughing for 2 solid hours. Depression? What's that😂

[@LonelyCinderella123]

It sounds exactly like the laughter of the dolphin from Family Guy.

[@tillerman7272]

@@LonelyCinderella123 the dolphin from family guy was voiced by him

[@dogwalk3]

it's less lovely when it wakes you up when you're trying to fall asleep to karl.

[@bexg3165]

Ricky's blatant honesty and lack of a filter make him one of the absolute funniest individuals around 😂😂

[@rorylawrence]

He has a filter but just knows it's funnier if he just disregards it

[@FaithHopeLove999]

rorylr : Exactly!

[@jsarcs965]

It's just British humour

[@widM_]

yeah, that's just British. Ever heard of John Cleese?

[@PiglipsMaximus]

I'll second Bill burr

[@corbuzchristi365]

"Oh God I didn't die" lmaoooo I love dark jokes

[@amandaelainewinn]

Kendra Ammons

[@rorylawrence]

That's dark?

[@amandaelainewinn]

Yes because he was sarcastically implying that he wish he would die

[@Squiggy2010]

That's gotta be one of Karl Pilkington's jokes

[@mushton99]

Ricky Gervais never does a boring interview

[@o.t.]

Agreed💯%

[@siefmohamed7024]

Exactly! Even with Fallon I click while thinking I think "Ricky is gonna make it good."

[@Lil-hn5qr]

Jimmy gets so awkward around people who are actually funny

[@user-os8sq3uh4n]

He just repeats himself repeatedly

[@elleryfamilia8291]

impostor syndrome

[@ProfChaos1985]

That year Conan didn't have a show, but Fallon did. He must have been so pissed at the world.

[@daviddwyer4376]

Well he’s a lot better than kimmel

[@nihilist4184]

Basically, his American kicks in, I have to be happy and upbeat at all times.

[@cheesesteakphilly]

Is there a dwarf called "Fake-y"? Because Fallon would be him.

[@imtoto813]

I love how Ricky just started a monologue about the seven dwarfs and the problem of reducing every dwarf to one emotion and then just casually said "Grumpy, I suppose" before continuing the discourse

[@abukakol56]

Ricky accent makes everything sounds so sophisticated 😭

[@joevenables3393]

CWP3_ TheMartianArrowhead Nah we don't cringe, it's just normal. I sound a bit chav since I used to live in a fairly rough town.

[@cwp3parks]

Creeper Guy44 Absolutely no idea what "chav" means - and i can't even begin to guess, haha

[@Lauren_3000]

If you think all British accents are posh you should hear some from the north haha

[@cwp3parks]

Lozzle Cozzle I've of course heard different British people on TV, mostly celebrities, mention things about different, *varying* accents throughout England - some really *posh* ones, and then some that are extremely thick and *impossible* to understand, and some that are said to be "the equivalent of the American Jersey Shore - but i think it's *really* *hard* for most Americans to pin-point where they all are from in England. But, on the contrary, i feel like the *whole* *world* can tell that a Southern accent is from *the* *South*, and that a New Orleans accent is from *New* *Orleans* specifically, and that a Cali Surfer accent is from the *beaches* *of* *California*. I wonder why *most* American accents are so much more *widely* recognized...?

[@hf3923]

If you live in England for a year you can tell a lot of accents, Scouse, Geordie, east and west London, midlands there are a lot

Ricky is GOLD !!!

[@nshafiee5780]

"No, listen!"🤣🤣🤣

[@bobbydrex5268]

Jimmy's ridiculous laugh seems genuine when Ricky is on

[@jaderegalado6620]

you should watch a video on youtube. it's called "why jimmy is fake" or something. it talks about jimmy and his personality. it's not negative! it was actually really informative!

[@jaderegalado6620]

It's "Why jimmy Fallon seems fake"

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Bobby Drexler I ha e a hard time believing Jimmy fake laughs, with so many funny moments on the show. And the more nervous someone is, the more often they laugh sometimes. Are internet people hard to crack and do they not know people that laugh a lot? I had a friend who laughed at bad news, good news, random stuff, and more random stuff almost every second. It was exhausting.

[@scattygirl1]

And Ricky's ridiculous laugh becomes genuine by comparison.

[@Marisol1711]

I actually think Jimmy does it either bc he wants the guest to feel good or bc he gets nervous and just laughs bc of it. Or maybe he just laughs at everything lol, I'm the same way and it is still hard for me to believe that he fakes it lol

[@camelia1296]

I hope with all my little heart that he's hosting the globes next year

[@olgasantiago4853]

Camelia Meftoul Jimmy is hosting golden globes 2017

[@cheerfuljuan]

Nah he's not lying. I follow Jimmy on twitter and he tweeted out about a month ago that he's hosting the globes in 2017. No joke. Look it up. It's gonna be great

[@olgasantiago4853]

Sidrah Zaheer no. jimmy will host the golden globes 2017. its real.

[@oscarsaris3183]

It's better than Jimmy's, that's for sure.

[@anythingandeverything4807]

Jimmy's not embarrassed. He's trying to stop the 18+ talk because he knows he'll get yelled at by NBC the next day about it

[@SpeedOfThought1111]

he was a little embarassed though. he didn't know what to say and just drank some water.

[@theAlbertinator1]

Jimmy didn't know what to say because Gervais just plain caught him off guard. The interesting part was the little serious "Dude, don't do this" headshake he gave Gervais afterward before going back into his laughing persona
