Ricky Gervais Can’t Wait for Humanity to Be Wiped Out

[@zeldagoblin]

This guy. He's a special kind of awesome, please protect him. There's nobody else with the balls and the character to do what he's doing, without apology or contrived remorse.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

That's not true. There are plenty of comedians out there with "balls", who are telling the truth and making it funny. All over the place.

[@zeldagoblin]

@@foobarmaximus3506 you're probably right, that they're out there. The difference here is, Ricky has a huge platform and fan base, and hasn't had any large repercussions for his statements. Even Joe Rogan apologised, when he shouldn't have. Perhaps I can include Dave Chapelle but again, he's been cancelled in one way or the other. Gervais hasn't had that and it doesn't look like he will, any time soon. I believe that's due to his approach and attitude. Not many people can achieve that.

Speaking of human life-span: when we study average life span in antiquity the average seems so low mostly due to infant mortality rate. Families would have a dozen children hoping 6 would survive infancy to work the farm. Then maybe 3 survive working to reproduce. Our ancestors that made it past the stage of dependency (at whatever that age was at the time) would often live to 60 years. Basically, sanitation and germ theory made more babies survive, so that appeared to raise the average life span as more of us survived to the age of reproduction.

We've had a good run. I'm all for giving the cephalopods a shot.

[@ivandainard7164]

Absolutely on the same page with this man !! Only difference is everyone knows him and absolutely no one knows me ! And that’s the way I like it .

[@godmodemon9642]

Ricky is top 3 stand up comedian of alllllll time !!!!!

George Carlin and Russell Brand completes the trio

"It wouldn't be my hand either.." that's a Karl Pilkington observation from the Ricky Gervais Show. The whole head transplant bit is from that episode

[@stevestevenson3252]

Karl is a real treat.

[@SchuKing]

He's been using Karl's lines from XFM for many years

[@oldtimer7635]

Written by Ricky, obviously. ; )

[@bfravel]

Ricky takes a lot of Karl’s material and Karl is ok with it. It’s still funny af

[@oldtimer7635]

@@bfravel That´s because Karl´s material is mostly written by Ricky ; )

I'm looking forward to the new special, but Afterlife..... Oh my... What a masterpiece.

Never a dull moment with Ricky.

Starting to realize the greatest comedians are really intelligent people. Especially on social/emotional intelligence. Way up there 🤗

I love Ricky too much for words. This was such a laugh-you two have such comedic symmetry, thanks, Seth x

There awesome bunch 👍

I love Ricky’s laugh it’s contagious

[@strengthbydesign]

Ricky Gervais is a very rare person indeed. Thank you Ricky, I can’t wait either for the end of the world. Love you man

[@smkh2890]

He has a sardonic British sense of humour, quite dry and sarcastic , but he has proved his worth with his series 'After Life'..

[@edelweiss2.076]

I used to think he was sarcastic & pretty full of himself. He once made a pedo joke that really pissed me off. Decided I didn't like him. But then I remembered how great he was in the movie Ghost Town, so decided to watch Derek & then AfterLife. They were so much more than I'd anticipated. And I got it. I got him & his humor. He's really lovely inside. Now I can't get enough of his work. 🥂💕

[@FanVarious]

he proved it with the office and extras.

[@fern7306]

Humor, and especially sarcasm is a sign of intelligence. Unfortunately as a teen my stepfather said I was too sarcastic and smacked it out of me 😑

[@bigoled4929]

Gotta say, gained a lot of respect for him back during this interview, especially the last third where he makes the point of distinction between the act and the views. Not that he would care that some internet guy thinks different now haha. I seriously disliked his last performance of the globes, loved his previous ones. Was way too over the top for me and I thought well he's just edgy for the sake of edgyness now. But I never doubted he's a great creative mind, with the huuuge amount of other stuff he's been doing in his carreer. Behind all this is a kind and loving man and after this interview, I can kinda acknowledge this more than before. That's press work done right.

[@patientzero5685]

I get what you’re saying but the jokes were still clever at the Globes. The sad part is damage was done because SOOO many conspiracy theorists latched onto the jokes as if they were evidence of Hollywood’s big elite adrenochrome pedophilia ring. Just like Dave Chappelle’s last show was supposed to show that he and ONE trans comedian approved of all his transphobic jokes. In the end, it had the opposite effect and started a huge blowback against trans people. I have no skin in either game, I just think when people listen to you, you have to be careful. With great power comes great responsibility.

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

I love ❤️ Ricky Gervais !! His quick Witt,..his shape tongue 👅,..he’s just brilliant!!

[@laraoneal7284]

I love it when RICKY SAID. “I don’t care!! It’s ur fault not mine.

[@laraoneal7284]

I love that Ricky laughs at his own jokes.

[@thehound9086]

I'm with Ricky, I'd be sad to know humans got off Earth and got to go destroy another planet and life. Just let it all end here on Earth. 👍

[@pdoylemi]

We aren't destroying the planet - we are having an impact but we can destroy ourselves - not the planet. Life will adapt - the question is do we take good enough care of the environment to be sure we are one of the species that survives?

Worked with Ricky on the office and extras..as a director he’s brilliant..he’s had enough by 4pm instead of 7pm like all the other productions I’ve been on..we all get to laugh it and go home early.

[@granttalibard6193]

Lucky you ! Extras is my favourite comedy show of all time , I have watched both series at least 3 times and it still makes me laugh out loud every time .

[@mdolanot]

I just love him. I have the same opinions and love to hear them voiced.

[@andylee3068]

Seth just asked the best question ever! Hilarious

[@areliablesource2848]

Oh my, this little conversation hits really, REALLY, close to home. For instance, the part where Seth is clapping because Ricky got up and went for a walk; that is me (as Ricky) and my doctor (as Seth). Yes, the whole conversation has little moments like that. So, Seth, thanks for an enlightening conversation with a very funny individual and Ricky, I look forward to your take on Armageddon.

The amount of pretending to like a joke is cringe here.

[@areliablesource2848]

@@scintillam_dei So, as I read your comment; I am re-watching the video to attempt to understand WTF you are talking about. Was it the point in the video where Ricky Gervais was talking about "irony"? Could you provide a bit more context to explain where the the "pretending" is and what is this "cringe" you mention.

[@scintillam_dei]

@@areliablesource2848 Look at the host very quickly stopping his laughter sometimes, showing he was faking it. The host was cringe-laughing, 'cause it was fake just like the other host... what's his name.... who is known for fake laughter¿
