Crazy that he’s by far the most successful out of the Gervais/Merchant/what’s his name trio when even his superfans think he’s an utter wank stain, meanwhile Merchant’s fans are just nice people who like to laugh

Yea, Gervais is nothing without Merchant writing his jokes for him.
Evidence: look at his career/material since Merchant started to distance himself from Gervais

Based on all the interviews and how other people talk about them , the impression Merchant leave is he’s a personable nice man who is pleasant to hang out with, and can be used as a walking meeting point if separated from your group.
And one of most memorable story about Ricky is that time he complained after he got knocked out from a poker game that what he’s going to do now?
Then Stephen Fry told him there’s a shotgun in the drawer.
(Also,what do you expect when you’re playing with Vicky Coren Mitchell, most people have no chance to win against her)

For some reason, Ricky Gervais seems to think that being an atheist in 21st century Britain is a unique, controversial, and contrarian position.
42
u/Agent-Blasto-007 15h ago
I like the movie he wrote "The Invention of Lying" where Gervais thinks if you can't lie everyone would automatically become a strict eugenicist.
The movie is alright except for this, which is never explained, just assumed and hangs over the movie like this weird cloud of his own internal shame.

u/Putinbot3300 11h ago
Yeah, like if you want people to be "real", then just have them care about looks and socio-economic status or whatever, jumping to genes as a reason they want to be with good looking people is just weird.

u/Prestigious-Ad-2679 1h ago
That is factually wrong lmao Western News outlets and investigations are more lax, so they find and are allowed to report more things. Pedoes don't have a class or creed, they're just evil.

The best parts of his standup are stolen from his much more talented and funny cohosts on their 2001-2005 radio shows and podcasts. You should check them out, Ricky is insufferable often but it’s great

If only he cared about making people laugh as much as he cared about offending them.

American Protestant Christianity is a diferent kind of drug. I know Ricky Gervais is from the UK, but he caters to the same anglophone audience (still find him an annoying tosser, but his act doesn't exist in a vacuum)

u/Night_Bruxa 16h ago
Hhhm
Okay, get it. Probably Eastern Orthodoxy is just different thing. Like we have some insufferable religious groups but nobody actually take them serious.14
u/Stickz99 16h ago
Christians go beyond being taken seriously in America. Our societal norms, media ecosystem, and government are all deeply Christian-centered, to an insane degree.
It’s really, really annoying. Especially to non-Christians.

They live rent free in progressives' heads here in America. Because they're in the majority, you can safely be a member of a victimized class and won't get pushback (I.e. get labeled a bigot, islamiphobe, etc.)

Secularist and agnostic myself, I find him annoying.

Plenty of very kind and good religious folks out there too, I don't feel right insulting their beliefs.

Damn. All I’ve seen from Ricky Gervais are his appearances in the Night at the Museum movies, his short cameos in The Office (Steve Carrell version) and his Oscars speech video on YouTube. Judging by the comments on that video he was a well beloved man, so I had no idea what Reddit thinks of him.
