Ricky Gervais Takes On Hitler, Churchill, Gandhi and Anne Frank | Universal Comedy

He spoke about things that there is nothing funny about. And he made us all laugh. That, beyond anything, is pure talent.

Ricky Gervais knows exactly how to do a controversial joke but still be absolutely on point, so you can't fault him for it. He is a master at jokes, compared to many other 'controversial' comedians who are just popular for being narcissistic assholes. Ricky Gervais thinks about the target of his joke and knows exactly how to crisscross and layer his jokes doubly so that the brilliance overpowers any controversy.

[@actividadesdiversasnoespec3228]

@@GoodJuju.8D I don't think OP suggested that Ricky believes in whatever nonsense QAnon types have to say. We have to agree that Hollywood is a shady place at best, not as QAnon makes it up to be, but it is a place where people like Cosby, Weinstein, Polansky and many other big shots can blackmail young actors and take advantage of them. The brilliance of Ricky's performance at the Golden Globes is - in my opinion - that he points out the hypocrisy of the famous Hollywood actors that preach about equality and social justice while at the same time keep quiet about sexual abuse they've witnessed, know about or suspect, or openly support people like Roman Polansky. Again, there is no elite cult of pedophiles who drink the blood of children, but there actually is a power structure that allows mostly older men and women to have absolute power over the career of a young actor or actress. And the extent to which that power is and has been abused in the past will never be truly known.

Ricky Gervais was put on this earth to make that Shark/Nazi jokejoke.

[@dannyholmes5156]

Most talented writer since time began. Most emotional and socially satisfyingly humorous man alive A true genius in every single way possible

[@a.c.4732]

Agreed . Just watched "DEREK" boxset on Netflix . Fascinating insight into a multi-talented entertainer : humour / empathy / no lines crossed .

[@dannyholmes5156]

It's very difficult to explain him

[@jwvandegronden]

Evil genius! Love his dark sense of humor; he can really touch anything!

[@teresawilson3893]

I love him so brilliant so real and he really says what everybody so wants to say

[@Misses-Hippy]

No. He says what nobody expected!

[@johannesnicolaas]

If I feel a bit low this helps a lot.

[@manfromnocky]

Yes me also, Ricky would like our appreciation of his work in this way. All the best Johannes.

[@ReesZzz]

For a stand up comedy sketch…….. the acting of the dismissive hitler reactions was on fucking point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@freespirit6967]

As always, my favorite comedian.

[@Einny807]

His movie THE INVENTION OF LYING was hilarious I wish he would make more comedic movies

[@Ammeo]

Ricky Gervais is a comic genius

[@Misses-Hippy]

Cosmic genius.

[@Millienfilm81]

Love Gervais. Best Brent of all time.

[@eamonquinn5188]

both Ricky and Oscar have one thing in common, Reading, Berkshire

[@simongray2533]

"Do we need 'em?" A smidge of Pilkington influence there me thinks! 🤣🤣

[@gui.ribeiro]

the shower joke at the end killed me 🤣🤣💀💀

[@anreapicc8310]

Could you explain it? Didn't get it

[@jorgeherter]

'There was a shower scene." One of the funniest, most fucked jokes ever.

[@craigrussell3062]

"Have you anything to declare?" "Nothing but my genius!" "Whose are the butt plugs?" "...they're mine"

[@RaysTrack]

It's 5.00 am, I thought I'd seen everything Ricky had on KZbin but (deep joy) I hadn't. I don't think there's any other comic that makes me feel, 'That's what I'd say if I had the IQ'.

[@nosalis]

such a brilliant mind that Ricky has! the way he twists things around to make his point, absolutely hilarious

[@uncleandross4310]

"Who's are the butt-plugs?" Quality.

[@shatnersbassoon3390]

The title makes it sound like Ricky's fighting all these people.

[@luckydave328]

Yes. I was disappointed when he said Churchill was a hero ! He was a racist, classist genocidal maniac and a drunk. Gandhi was far from ok too. He betrayed Dr. Ambedkar and the Dalits and made racist comments about blacks in South Africa.

[@randomcallum]

now I'm interested in how this Anna Frank and Hitler tag team works out

[@luckydave328]

@KZbinrs fan And dj too Churchill the myth is great. But really so much of what we 'know' today is just that. Myth. Did you know his famous 'We shall fight them on the beaches ' speech was never heard directly from him by the British public ? He made it in the Houses of Parliament and it was transcribed and then read by a BBC news announcer. His speech on Singapore was greeted with general dismay. A lot of his speech was slurred and people, rightly or wrongly thought he was drunk. He had government advisors who got him to tailor his speeches to appeal to the Americans. Amongst his crimes was the notorious sending of the Black and Tans into Ireland. He has been largely recreated as a National hero. He certainly wasn't a coward and saw action but he was hated as much or more so than loved in his own time.

[@luckydave328]

@KZbinrs fan And dj too Gandhi falsely raised the hopes of the Dalits that their grievances would be addressed and rectified in order to get their support and that of their leader Dr Ambedkar (aka The Greatest Indian) and then betrayed them. That is one of the reasons they are still oppressed today. He didn't invent their oppression but he helped to perpetuate it.

[@luckydave328]

@KZbinrs fan And dj too Btw I agree Modi is a lunatic and a very dangerous one too.

[@matildaandgabe]

Looking good Ricky can’t wait for after life new episodes

[@blazedflemingo7828]

@Just Thinking there are many war stories in which suffering people joke and are lighthearted, even till their death. Often humor is used to deal with trauma, and bring real problems to light in a public setting because humor gets people's attention.

[@lordmorklen5166]

the Gandhi bit was funny af.

[@cassandrabradley5782]

Living legend I love him ❤️❤️

[@thopmsonsmith3256]

Hello Cassandra How are you doing today?

[@shedboy18]

One of the UKs best comedians. Legend Lord Gervais.

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

I doubt he likes titles. Who would wanna be a jokeLord?

[@valerie8943]

Gervais is so good that I have an intense dislike for people who think otherwise

[@kalijaheyolya-ralph9944]

Isn't that just the truth though it is like if they don't like him that just tells me that they're bad people who I need to make great haste and getting away from LOL. I feel you 100%

[@jamesd9523]

I love how Derek popped out at 10:00 😂😂

[@charlesmoen2433]

Have you all seen his Netflix series “After Life” also Brilliant!

[@davidduffin1580]

His best work.

[@paulavish5482]

Ricky's amazing. Hands down. And cute, too. 😆😄😃

[@einienj3281]

"a Shark would've found Anne Frank in seconds"... 😳😆

[@peacefuljeffrey]

When he pantomimes Anne Frank typing, he pushes the carrier on the imaginary typewriter the wrong way! 😄

[@kimvibk9242]

To be fair, considering his age, he may never actually have used an old-fashioned manual typewriter...

[@listek981]

9:55 that the one dude who actually got the point before everyone.

[@Rennette-td2mq]

George Carlin said " as a comedian, my job is to cross the line and still make people laugh while wondering " gervais has this down to a science

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

That's the best kind of humour. You can make people laugh and maybe think a bit if you're lucky.

[@TheZeofobic73Channel]

Lova a bit of Gervais always cheers me up. Regards Zeo👍
