Ricky Gervais Will Know Science Failed Him If He Ever Meets The Devil

The star of 'David Brent: Life on the Road' traveled down the social media wormhole when he shared a rather peculiar tweet from a hater.

The difference between American and British humour can be seen when Stephen wants to show the punchline and Ricky tries to hide it.

[@alice-ij7fu]

Ricky made the punch line up you shit face. Nothing else was written on the card besides the tweet.

[@DillonYalvis]

DillonYalvis @TheGodAndEmperorOfMankind BS. What do you mean it’s ‘obvious’? Half the humor of Ricky gervais is just the funny way he talks when he tells his jokes. America is 327mil people and has plenty of great comedians. Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Burr, Norm Macdonald, etc. Quit using this as an excuse to bash America.

[@ericmanget4280]

@Pissed Bob Ross Working in the U.S. for the majority of his life with dual citizenship. SNL, The Norm Show, his Sports show, and NML all originated in the U.S. In addition, when asked in interviews, none of his comedian idols are Brits. I don't know where this idea of superior British humour popped up from but there is an enormous amount of contrary evidence. I'm also Canadian but he has clearly been moulded more by the U.S.'s comedic landscape than Canada's.

That’s all he needs to do, and there is no strict dress code for appearing on TV. He’s made the effort to show up and make interesting, funny conversation for the audience. Making an effort to “look nice” is perhaps the least important and superficial thing to care about, and something shallow morons like you would complain about.

+ smalla ss You must not know Colbert. He's been in the spotlight longer than Gervais. Though I love both of these gentlemen, the idea that Colbert is some inferior to Gervais is simply not true. They're both damned geniuses. Colbert just happens to work for a major American television network, so the style most of us were used to from him...it's angles were filed down a bit to fit the new format.

[@irresistablejewel]

I've gone off "The Colbert Report" recently, since it became all about Trump. I get the same reaction as Ricky Gervais who actually is a guest in America and doesn't have a vote (only an opinion and there are plenty of them) when the matter of President Trump is discussed. Never really liked the Gervais style of humour; I didn't much like "The Office" UK, possibly because I've worked in to many places that were very similar and the series of podcast, by: Gervais; Merchant and Pilkington while arguably innovative (and popular) just seemed to be a series of put downs, by two clever comedians and one "stooge". Similar in some ways to watching two countries with advanced weaponry bombing Libya perhaps. I saw little to laugh about; but recently I've changed my mind about Ricky Gervais (and Steven Merchant). I think the term genius (along with hero and celebrity) is used a bit too often but it is clear to me that Gervais is intelligent; sharp and like Colbert started out as a comedian. Presenting the Golden Globes by basically roasting the audience, was so obvious afterwards; but on the original point it is clear that Gervaise knows about TV shows and how they work. The idea of amusing a larger TV audience, by insulting a smaller audience of "celebrities" and powerful people in the industry; even: the hosts; sponsors and himself might be described as genius but is a calculated gamble, but I think Russel Brand did this first. How much of the Colbert Report is rehearsed I couldn't tell you; but I think Gervais set Colbert up with the initial handshake and pull; that way he could feign: exasperation; indifference and ask questions about Trump instead of answering them. The excerpt from the tweet war reinforces Gervais's stage persona of being combatitive and puncturing pomposity; it's his story to tell and I'm sure he knows about time constraints. Actually Gervais has worked: as a writer; starred in a TV series; franchised it; was a movie star (in "Ghost Town" a comedy take on "The Sixth Sense"); podcast; numerous interviews and the funny thing he may be the man for these times as invariably he plays "a moany faced git". His comedy lecture tour (yes; he can do that too); based on natural science got rave reviews ; so I would suggest that people stop being so critical about everything and let Gervaise get on with doing that instead; because he's good at that. Both men (in the clip) merit the title of professional comedian; both have worked in different mediums only Colbert with his Trump and the latest Russian allegation act has become stale. Gervais is certainly versatile; he's quick to adapt and he often says what people are hesitant to say. I though the interview went well. If you want to see Gervais suffer there is this chilli sauce challenge (watch?v=3qrNRzkwlbU) which is funny too.

And it's people like you that believe the universe just exploded into existence in such a perfect pattern that everything is the way it is and doesn't collapse upon itself yet you can't provide the actual evidence or numerical values to complete such a task. Have fun in purgatory because Hell is full of enough of you already. I'd say a creator is factually a more rational belief seeing as though matter can't be created or destroyed, there is always something there so for something to be created from nothing there HAS to be a higher power beyond our understanding it's literally impossible for there not to be. I'm sorry you're unintelligent and so upset at a book that you believe is fantasy that you have to insult it.

[@AtenRa]

I think it was Thomas Aquinas who wrote that one of the pleasures of the saved would not just be glorifying God in Heaven, but watching the tortures of the eternally damned. And gosh, do some Christians these days _relish_ that idea. They cream their pants believing they'll get a front row seat to watching people they hate go through pain and suffering forever. What a sadistic feeling to _dream_ of the day you can get off watching someone in pain and not have to feel guilt or sympathy for them. That's what Heaven is to some of these frightened little people.

[@reonel_9060]

AtenRa will you feel thesame if it's reversed...like christians in hell?

[@thechris312]

The beauty of being an Athiest is that we don't think anybody will go to hell. Can't exactly laugh at them if there's nothing at all to laugh at (no afterlife).

[@AtenRa]

I don't believe in Heaven or Hell, but I also don't believe that anyone should enjoy being a spectator to someone else's suffering. Fundamentally, isn't it correct that a good Christian shouldn't be able to go to hell? So I would have utmost sympathy for them if they were placed there contrary to what they believed would happen. That would imply that the Christian God went back on his word, and that's not a god worthy of worship at all.

[@AtenRa]

Exactly. I can totally see how a pleasurable afterlife is something a person down on their luck in this life would look forward to. We'd all love rewards for going through our unjust circumstances; that's not even a spiritual concept to begin with, just a human yearning. It breaks my heart to hear some people say Heaven is all they have to look forward to, while others boast about Heaven and hoard it over people they hate.

Like what Andrew Garfield said in his interview with Stephen, 'I'm totally uncertain about things regarding the afterlife, God and Satan, but it's perfectly fine to question and continue to question about such things even if they let themselves be known.'

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

If you do not accept theistic claims you are an atheist. Agnosticism is not a flavour of atheism, it just describes your claims to knowledge.

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

As I said, it describes your claim to knowledge. Agnostic is without knowledge of a claim, gnostic is where you claim knowledge. You can be agnostic about any claim. This is what Ricky meant, when he said he is technically an agnostic atheist. He rejects claims that 1 or more gods exist but is open to evidence should it appear. He does not claim to know.

[@jandreid1056]

AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible​ I'm atheist in regards to evidences/proofs (or lack thereof) of the existence of god/s. They don't have to have any theistic claims, just a simple question of their existence. But then like I said, I'm not totally 100% certain of that, that's why I'm agnostic as well.

[@jandreid1056]

AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible Exactly. I don't know (agnostic), but I don't believe (atheist) due to lack of sufficient evidence.

[@dmjdmj]

AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible Excellent point. People tend to forget that one can be an agnostic theist (which is slightly rational compared to being a gnostic theist) as well as one can be a gnostic atheist (Which is just downright dumb compared to being an agnostic atheist).

You’re glossing over all the sins we commit when we aren’t loving and giving everything to everyone. Believing in Jesus Christ to get into heaven has nothing to do with stroking God’s ego. God came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ to live a sinless, perfect life and shed His blood on the cross so that when you believe on Jesus Christ and are born again, His perfect righteousness is imputed onto the believer who then gives their life to serving Him out of love and a desire to save as many people from hell as possible. It’s all about the power of the blood of Jesus giving people the greatest gift of eternal life with our holy Creator YHWH; it’s not a system of narcissism and hate. I don’t know where you are as you’re reading this but I hope you always remember that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved.

Because that 'love' and 'giving' prob wasnt from a good place..even if it was...that person would still be a wretched sinner without a relationship with Jesus. Our righteousness is as filthy rags before God

[@katelynelizabeth2820]

It’s my understanding that since every good and perfect gift is from above and God is love and light and peace and justice, when you reject God, then you reject the creator of all of those good things and attributes. So hell is just the absence of peace, joy, justice, and so forth bc God isn’t there. It’s a choice to spend eternity without him. I think it’s beautiful that on earth, we all, regardless of our beliefs get to experience the attributes of God bc he so badly wants us to want to spend eternity with him. I know it can sound really out there, but I can’t help but believe in God after learning how detailed and specific our world is and the processes that have to happen just for our world to exist and for life to exist.

It’s worse than that actually

[@mamanelodie]

I admire Ricky Gervais thoughtfulness and smarts in creating stories of humor, love and loss. Bravo and thank you!

[@therandomreacher]

Ricky Gervais is a planetary treasure

[@last7509]

Like excrement

[@MagnumDB]

Love that the band is playing Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco!

[@brodyharris7631]

Yes! Scrolled all the way down to see if anyone else noticed. Such a great song and album!

[@lightonstillwaters6789]

With Ricky, my laughs, chuckles and giggles are unforced!

[@elenaeisenhardt3280]

"So he's there too" Haha, I can't!

[@333pinkelephant333]

Stephen : Let's show the card so people can see Rickey : *covers it with his finger* Stephen:

[@xxmetioqurexx]

The intro song of Ricky coming in, is definitely the lupe fiasco “kick push” beat and it sounds amazing :)

[@ManuelGutierrez-zb5xm]

"Tonight Stephen"... holy shit that was brilliant. haha

9:09 Producer examining tweet: "Satan, raping. Good to go... Ass? Whoa."

[@rafaamaralnog]

Ricky is the best, he tried really hard to make this a funny interview..

[@DanHauer]

Shame that Stephen Colbert is so lame as a host.

[@elemu3653]

@@DanHauer Stephen Colbert is trying to make the frogs gay

[@walkie1985]

Colberts just waiting for his turn to talk

[@austenpowers]

He’s sooo far behind the wit and out of his depth talking about the big questions with Ricky. It’s almost painful, but Ricky slows down and let’s him catch up instead of making him look silly. He is full of humility.

[@Pumbear]

@0:08 Combo'ing the Trumpshake into a hug, outstanding play.

[@rjcomeaux5461]

Good god, I love Rickey Gervais. Fucking love him!

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

I read that in the way he did the sketch about sucking cock. "This is Raul, ..... I Fucking love this!"

[@acr7780]

Best comedian ever imo

[@acr7780]

Dapdoi Ardon It's just my personal opinion, so yes. And who would you say is a better comedian, just out of curiosity?

[@acr7780]

Dapdoi Ardon How? Lots of adults find Gervais hilarious.

[@acr7780]

The only one acting like a kid here is you, not being able to comprehend or accept people having a different favourite comedian

[@technomancer4862]

"More to lose" is one of my favorite new wave songs

[@lipranditoys]

"Maybe they've given him fake ones"

[@evemichael3850]

Gosh, you gotta love this guy. And his logic.

[@Buenomars]

Man... he's right about being better looking back then than now! Props on his honesty and self-awareness!

[@jaadtoly23]

Random comment : Colbert is wearing beautiful glasses.

[@308AlYsSa0034]

God I love this man. Dark humor, same beliefs, and wore a damn sweater to a talk show. Chill as a cucumber. Amazing.

[@forgetPAT1]

The band with that cover of "kick push" so awesome !

[@brodyharris7631]

Lupe Fiasco is the best

[@ldsrevelations4205]

I love Ricky G. Funny and makes the best arguments for science and rational thought around.

[@mkprocter882]

My atheism makes me love people regardless of their ethnicity, sexuality or religion as long as they don’t hat on their fellow humans... of course not all atheists believe the sand things ... but I just love my fellow people and don’t wish harm on anyone with love and compassion in their hearts. Be kind all ☮️

[@pkpnyt4711]

Funny thing is Seona Dancing was a hit in Asia in 1983. Everybody loved more to lose and it was an actual anthem for teens in the Philippines. Heck, Tears for Fears didn't even know they were huge in Asia in the 80s and 90s. Back then a lot of things weren't global yet! Lol!

[@dirtcollector]

loved the kick push cover in the intro!

[@jaimewarren3185]

I loved Seona Dancing’s “More to lose”

[@zikolojii]

It's always nice to see Colbert try to go toe-to-toe with an atheist

[@candyblake697]

Love Gervais..... He is an awesome actor , love how he approaches all those things that's controversial with the typical British stoicism and bluntness. He is a very interesting human being.... How many people an compare🙄

[@nefwaenre]

Wow he was so so handsome back then! Ofc i still find him hot. It's just his personality, sense of humour and his laugh makes him more attractive 😘😍

[@misskelevra]

9:10 WHAT!? They censor 'ass' (which is just a body part, not even a sexual one), but not 'raping' (which is literally illegal and also sexual). What the living hell is the matter with people!?

[@tolubadejo9145]

Just because a word comes off as violent and uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to be censored. Censorship leaves a lot to the imagination and disables the understanding the speaker's thought train.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Rickey Gervais is savage funny, I love it.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I can't believe I spelled Ricky the way I did..

[@DelightLovesMovies]

@Abe I know but i don't like seeing edited comments.

[@henriksparre4302]

Literally 10 seconds in «orange man bad» *everyone laughs*

[@jamespuffer2889]

Ricky Gervais’ analysis of Trump is way too spot on.

I can watched Ricky being interviewed for hours, this was so hilarious thanks Stephen :)

[@csnotes2716]

Oh, God I love this guy

[@inomisonotuttipresi]

God these two. Although there are big differences in their respective humor, you can tell they are both having a lot of fun!

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Even when they debate religion, it's kept respectful and humorous. If only we could get Ricky and Stephen to teach all creationists and atheists how to do it.

[@dukeallen432]

Tony: think Stephen is closer to atheism than he leads on.

[@milindhali]

Ricky geravis is the most funny man alive. Period.. Brutally funny.. You cant even disagree

[@muchograndeyolatengo]

What kind of psycho not only wishes eternal torture on a another human being but also finds sadistic pleasure in it? And what kind of delusional person believes that his "righteous god" will reward him with heaven with that kind of sick mindset?

He looks like he might go "sweet Dreams are made of this." in that picture.

[@abdisamadabdiladif350]

hate to break your heart but religion wouldn't just "disappear" any time soon

[@jamesteranov5978]

You Tried It! - Oh you mean the corruption that churches are tax exempt, that pastor's are getting mansions instead of putting money to a good use of the churches time,, that churches are hiding pedo's, that churches nearly always had a hand in dogmatic totalitarian dictatorships.. granted some were not religious just pure political power but the church always sided with them. oh and fuck judgement day

[@andresbarriga5305]

HAHAHAHA That doesn't make any sense. So, religion and the believe of judgement day will stop to exist and be forgoten but it will come anyway? Good one.
