"I'm not saying we should get rid of all the stupid people. I just think we should take off all the warning labels and let the problem take care of itself."
Natural selection is a reasonable solution
You speak as if it's that cut and dry so maybe take off your label and it will take care of itself
Yeah he stole this bit from Chris Porter
I have to agree. Apparently, Macdonald's have warnings of hot contents on coffee cups.
@@jjmoberly1117every comedian has stolen a joke or two.. since the beginning of the genre
George Carlin made this joke in the 90s. "Think about how stupid the average person is and realize that half of them are stupider than that"
Stupider nice
He does the rubbing his forehead in frustration like Carlin also 😅😅😅
Oh my God !! Haha.
I came her to type exactly this comment! It’s a great line!
@@GIBBO4182you came her? Did you mean you came here or are you one of the stupid people?
"Do you know how stupid the average person is"? **An audience of average people starts cheering**
😆
Maybe Gervais fans think themselves a cut above. That's what he is playing to.
I would suggest the audience of a Gervais night is above average intellectually.
And an average person commenting on that on CZcams gets 42 likes.
@@Scanini I imagine they believe that, I'm not convinced it's true. That said, just managing to get it together enough to buy a ticket and turn up on the right day would be a stretch for many.
People in the crowd laughing like they aren't near the center of the bell curve. Lol
Which makes the joke funnier, as ironically, he is mocking the crowd and they are too stupid to realise 🤣
As if Tina turner kicked the bell and let it ring
People who liked this comment like they aren't near the center of the bell curve. Lol
What's a bell curve?
In order to understand humor you need to want to
As an average person i can confirm im fucking stupid.
God I wish more stupid people were like you…
Where do I join the club?
. . . and how much does it cost to join?
Me too😂
My favorite label is on children's shirts: "Remove the child from the item of clothing before laundering!" Are there truly any nitwits who would throw the child in the washer??!!! 😂
A better one take the baby out of the stroller before folding it up
Labels are created because it happened.
so the manufacturers wouldnt get sued when stupid people do it for a laugh.
"Avg. person is stupid!"
*Average person applauding*
Average person driving home afterwards ~ "Fifty f***ing quid, that cost!!"
On a scooter I had: "Caution this product moves when used!"
He talks so much sense. It's a breath of fresh air to listen to.
I've always though the same things, but no f***er wanted to listen!
Winston Churchill said that a short conversation with the average man in the street was enough to put him off democracy for life. I doubt much has changed since then.
If you think these labels are targeted at you
they probably are
😂😂
Labels, eh ? People love to pin labels on themselves. Christian. Muslim. Hindu. Catholic. Protestant. Buddhist. Methodist. 7th day eventalist.
Atheist!😁
"think about how stupid the average person is, then realise, half of them are stupider than that"
. . . and then there are those calling themselves 'Swifties'!!
Millions of 'em!!!
Once, when I was maybe 10 my parents took me to a furniture store, and there was a sign there that said “do not light couch on fire”
A fart can be dangerous sometimes
Sound advise.
I love how they all clap like "yeah all those other people here are those average persons" xD
Come on, it's always the other people no matter the issue.
he called a large number of his audience stupid and they clapped.
They must be Democrats.
"They must be Democrats "
Yes, because Trumpers wouldn't have agreed with the suggestion! 😅
@@dereklawson1318 They would have all yelled out "They must be Democrats!" and YOU know it!
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 why in the hell are you guys talking about politics?
Dunning Kreuger effect in action...
When i was in highschool. I thought i was of average intelligence. After working for 2 decades now i understand that I am far above average but still don't consider myself smart.
Dunning Kruger.
The entire audience laughing and clapping like seal lions not understanding that THEY are the ‘average person’.
Most of us are!
All clapping and cheering like they're not the "Average Person".. 😂😂
Same goes for most commenting though
@@ericscaillet2232 That's my point, every one's mostly average in some way or another.
@@ericscaillet2232 Including you and me if that's not clear enough for you.
@@ericscaillet2232 I never liked to be in the middle :D. We live in unconscious, beeehhh world, and we are afraid to try different way of life. Lots of moral values are just lost. We would be happy to survive and teach something new to our children. It is sad.
The bleach really got to me LMAO 🤣 he's hilarious 😁 Love IT 💯
Well, you should not have drunk it.
"Let's assume that the majority of people are completely incapable of learning and cause the very problem that we're complaining about."
Assume away
@@SamuelBlack84 I don't understand your reply. I was paraphrasing what he was saying, I'm not assuming anything.
@@PistonAvatarGuy I was joking
@@SamuelBlack84 At my expense, I suppose? I assume you mean that I'm not capable of learning something, so Gervais is actually correct here? What was it that I failed to learn? It's typical for the correct answer to be supplied when a student fails to answer a question correctly, is it not?
@@PistonAvatarGuy Blah blah blah. Go away
I agree with him lmao take warning labels of the bleach for starters
Of the bleach? Think he was talking about you.
And move the bleach without the labels to the juice isle
"May contain nuts" on peanut packets!!
That is why I think democracy isn't perfect.. :(
It's clearly the best we ever tried as a species...
But let's not act as if it was the final goal of a perfect society.
I think Rwanda finally got that.
Not China, not the West but post-genocide Rwanda.
Good on them, they are on the right path.
Whenever someone on the Internet criticises their president I recommend them to go to Putler’s neo-Soviet “paradise”, to North Korea, to Cuba or to post-Brexit Britain.
I think it was Churchill who said that the best argument against democracy was a 5 minutes conversation with an average voter
I heard: "a good authoritarianism is better than a bad democracy".
Don't know what to think...
A perfect society is a dream and not a reality.
There are many fIrms of democracy. The others are more work than the modern one but much more satisfactory. We have a very lazy representative democracy. The pinnacle of most people's involvement is voting every few years and a lot do not do that!
Ignorance is bliss. Intelligence is torment.
Tell me about it!
I sometimes wonder how so many people even make it to adulthood
Warning labels
@killer3157 How many people ate Tide pods or even just drink numerous energy drinks or smoke or the myriad of other things people do despite warning labels and signs? There is quite a lot published about people ignoring these warnings.
The question I've always wondered is how the hell they find someone to mate with? Plus, how the hell do they raise children?!
@user-xc4ky3sh7m Ha! I agree, it's an absolute mystery sometimes.
I love this man!! ❤❤
This is a man after my own heart!
The whole crowd claps not understanding RG was talking about the crowd.
Making average people laugh while shitting on them. Great master level.
Pov: Saying that joke while looking at a crowd of average people
The Movie Idiocracy sums it up
I love this man’s humor and truth!
AFTER TWO YEARS, 50% WOULD STILL BE BELOW AVERAGE.
the smart person would sue the bleach company silly for no warning labels and killing his friend
A smart person senses opportunity in tragedy
A reminder, the average person pays to see his shows
behold the limits of democracy..
Most regulatory bodies are captured by big money...gervais is unaware it seems.
Also there is an intelligence to the herd.peopke react to their environment s honestly...they don't need to be told by some fucking posh twat whose never set foot in the real world what's going on
That's why no country is a democracy. The U.K. is a constitutional Monarchy.
I'm an average person and I approve this message.😂
We let average people pick the president
We are all clapping for ourselves lol.
..."and then have a referendum."
😂😂😂.. Crowd applauds because... "it's, not ME... he can't mean ME.."
The audience hears from him how stupid the average person is and applauds, but the joke is on them.
I was working in a toilet block a good few year ago. Stuck above every toilet pan was a sign saying “do not drink”
There are people in this comment section who don't even know what the word, 'referendum' means. I know, because I don't know what it means.
But once explained would you grasp the concept , ignorance is not stupidity ,only lack of interest or information.
It means ask everybody. And probably do what they all say, regardless of the consequences, lol.
@@ericscaillet2232very true!!
And we buy dental floss with a Helpline at the back of the spool container 😂
I didn’t know George Carlin was still alive
His Ghost will be with us FOREVER!
Well done, Ricky, well done
Says every average person
Average people: {Clap}
He's certainly right there!
I love how he insulted half of people but no one offended like their not one of those!
Hit the nail on the head -as usual! Go for it Ricky 👌👍
The awful Truth.
Yes, correct...the general public is dumb...
That's the first argument against democracy.
Imagine how stupid the average person is, and then realize how many people must be stupider than that to make that average...
I would wager the average IQ of his audience is slightly higher than that of some other comedians.
So, my dad said this one thing to me a ew days ago, that as a programmer there are two distinct types of languages.
I'm not talking about static-dynamic, procedural vs. functional or anything like that.
Rather, there is the first type of language, a language made dedicated to one task. As in, a language that was made with one specific purpose in mind, and that
The other type meanwhile is, a programming language created and designed in such a way for people to be able to understand it.
I don't know how well I conveyed it but, this was an absolutely mind-blowing relevation for me.
In my mind, programming languages have just started being here, and have gotten developed into functional perfection.
But no, now I literally can't look at anything I learn the same again much, as the more I go, the more I see just how dumbed down or inflated it has gotten.
Programming languages designed for the people, even mind me, 'the average person', has such a HUGE difference all the way down to it’s basic friggin structure, it's crazy.
It's exactly like that, and personally, I feel bad for the people who had to put the words 'do not eat' on a bottle of bleach, but I feel even more bad for some people who had to dumb down some even more important things, in order for everything else to keep moving on.
It's like an anti Raskoljnikov moment (Dostojevski, Crime and Punishment), as unlike his philosophy, where the people who move society forward should
(Also, in case you were wondering, yes I am a teen, and no, I am not neurodivergent to write this type of thing.
I'm part of an education system where you learn over a good solid several few thousands more things like these, for one.
And for two, no matter how much I hate most of the non-essential for life things we learn, there are also too many things I am afraid of *not* knowing.
The internet does not help with that. At all.
If I saw more people here who actually know the stuff that is considered pretty basic, maybe I would relax some more.
But nope, to be perfectly honest, anyone 'sane' and rich enough to afford to take some time aside for themselves, yet without any major interests in life, just plain scares me at this point.
Let's take those labels off and let Darwin's theory do its thing! 🤣
A touch of George Carlin....years head of his time.
I 100% agree and have said this forever.
The average person is smarter than ricky
Ricky just insulted ´the average person´ This represents probably 75% of the population. And the audience laugh!
If you don't understand what average is then you are probably not average. I hope that's true for the good of our future.
Right on the money, Ricky.
Lol what gets me is willful ignorance of the masses we all still have intelligence enough to scrutinize information and make choices beyond just what we feel like doing, but yet we constantly go off feelings for decisions along with bieng defensive about not bieng perfectly correct all the time, and will double down on a false claim to self validate. Not to mention everyone thinks they are nice ppl the same ones who hassle others over simple things and behave maliciously to make others feel bad, wonderful species really.
technically average is 2 standard deviations below the mean on an IQ test
Let's ask Ricky to answer all our questions. His IQ is in the genius range. Plus it would be hilarious.
Brilliant.
We should, after we saw what the average person did in Covid. 😂
So, what you need to understand is, if you imagine how stupid the average person is, you also have to reach the conclusion the HALF the people are more stupid than that.
99% of the comments not realizing they are the average person LMAO
I've been saying this for years. He's dead right.
Of course we’re stupid , we elect people who’s policies we don’t like and we repeatedly vote for the same peoples who repeatedly lie to us.
By definition, the average person has a 100iq. That's not that stupid, but it's not that smart either.
Couldn't agree more ricky, your spot on, but forgive 🙏 them they know not what they do
Totally agree
People clapping think there not the average person 😂
I mean, the average person is not going to a Ricky Gervais show
@thl205 really? Don't fool yourself, bud!
Natural attrition!!
Reminds me of the first time seeing 'DO NOT EAT' on one of those moisture absorbing plastic things in pill bottles.
For days I laughed at the stupid sods that was targeting, because I know it wasn't kids 🤣
Oh Look! A bag of Chiclets!
Collectively, they're not stupid, stupid.
Ricky!! Just an average guy
I live next door to one. It's embarrassing how ignorant and aloof he is to what's really going on here.
He just asked average people if they know how stupid average people are?
Better than let’s ask the middle classes what inconveniences them less 😂 Deluded allusion Ricky
If you make stupid comments about women because you’ve never seen one in real life, he’s talking about you too.
I like how they all clap but half of them are below average
(Below median actually for the nitpickers)
We would then leave with a 90 percent majority
The bleach label is not addressed to the person of average intelligence, but to those at a pretty low level. That a comedian doesn't know this suggests his intelligence is kind of low as well.
Facts! 🎉
And then on the other end of the spectrum we have Elon Musk claiming that the average person knows more than journalists, which justifies X turning verified accounts into a paid subscription.
True that.
This reminds me of a party I went to where the majority of people were middle class paid up members of the Labour Party . The consensus there was that working class people shouldn't be allowed to vote ! . Can you imagine that coming from the Labour Party !? ✌️
Yeah, I like to remind people that if they’re recommended a jury of their peers over an educated judge, remember the missing toilet rolls in the shops at the start of Covid. Do you really want your peers judging you?
Well, labels are there primarily for lawsuits - there could always be a smart ass that would drink enough bleach to feel sick and then be able to sue them for not giving any warnings.
But I guess "average person" thinks it's targeted at "average person". The same people they, in general, think they're not "average"
One episode of the price is right and you see why asking the average person is dumb
Hell yeah
Sometimes stupid, but mostly just poorly informed and don't know who to trust
Just make cigarettes.25 a pack
They say dumb ppl think they're smart while smart ppl think they're stupid. Like my friend who's a doctor thinks she's stupid......😵😵😵 bruh..... I didn't even get a degree, so she must think I'm retarded.
100% agree
Personally, I'm more inclined to say 91.6%
Agree!
