People re upload Ricky’s stuff so much, that it could be an ideal move to put a date in the title lol

[@Tom.Livanos]

Right, this one is from 2004 😕

More brilliance from Britain's funniest man!

[@anouarkrassimovich7481]

if it wasn't for Brexit he would probably be one of the funniest men in Europe :)

[@Toodyslexicforyou]

@@anouarkrassimovich7481why because your offended that he had a intelligent view on Brexit (voted remain)

[@susiegluxman9041]

@@Toodyslexicforyou You might want to consider that he meant if it wasn’t for the UK leaving the European Union and therefore no longer being part of Europe, that Ricky Gervais can only be the funniest man in the UK but not Europe anymore. At least that was how I read it and it was quite funny. Of course I may be wrong too.

[@MrTaytersDeep]

​@@susiegluxman9041 Yeah that was an intelligent joke! Would have been the funniest man in the whole of Europe if we hadn't off left. Even though we are still in Europe despite not taking part in a Governing body from Brussels. But then flies off the handle at the comment, must be a remoaner!

[@anouarkrassimovich7481]

thanks Susiegluxman and TaytersDeep for explaining :) exactly what i meant :)

[@KLT47B]

Thank you Ricky Gervais for everything you do! In a world where reality is more dire than satire, you are definitely bringing a fresh breath of air.

[@Ffinity]

No, he just a slightly left version of Jim Davidson.

[@offshoretomorrow3346]

Even Jim Davidson is exponentially funnier than anything you have ever and will ever say.

[@Kawoski]

Hahaha the 90's intro is so spot on hahaha! "LAW AND ORDER", "DEFENCE"... I guess (and it is really a guess) only people who grew up watching those 90s 00s tv shows can really appreaciate how funny recreating those phony intros is

[@through.a.barrel.she.breathes]

Three in one man in wheelchair? None other than the brilliant ....[from Wikipedia] Ash Atalla (b.1972) is an Egyptian-born British television producer. He has produced several British TV series such as The Office, The IT Crowd, Man Stroke Woman and People Just Do Nothing. He has also made cameo appearances in productions such as Ricky Gervais's Politics.

A BBC diversity hire you say? Paid for by a tax on watching television that is collected by force and threat of force by the same state power system that the BBC is part of? Such a good thing that there are infinite jobs available and the labour market isn't subject to scarcity like all other markets, or else diversity hires would displace the autochthonous...

What government allows its people to go hungry and homeless, while all the time feeds and houses migrants in their millions. This is not and i repeat not, what the people of our nation has voted for, SUNAK and STAMMER must go they have ashamed our great nation and crushed it to its very core. This corruption will be spoken about and recorded in our history forever shame on them. As a veteran of 24yrs with 10 medals of service this is not what i fought for, at this moment in time i am ashamed to be British. More and more i see those that have been down trodden, giving charity to those in need, yet our power and money hungry leaders continue to take from us, may God have mercy on them, they are going to need it, because the people will never forget what they have done and it will certainly take a generation to forgive them for their greed and corruption. My whole life i have been conservative and always stood by my convictions, but i can no longer watch others suffer in silence while they are in positions of power, i will give my vote to the only party i trust to save our Nation, REFORM UK.

He’s not pushing the boundaries nor being a savage, he’s quite clearly mocking scammers whose only con is nonsense, or overly falsified politics, like those who advocate for one thing while doing their worst about it, think and enablist who advocates against enablism while committing enablism due to misunderstanding the term, or not sympathising truly with the disabled person, and just going off of their poor understanding.
