Hitchens already took the best version of that. "I'm Offended" "So fucking what?" And Stephen Fry has a great one: "That's offensive" "I'm still waiting to hear your argument"
It always was….look at the humour that came out of the carnage of the two world wars! Humour is the very best safety valve that we have..And yes..in humour there always has to be a victim, the butt of the joke…Accept it, and live with it.
I am not a fan of PC culture neither, the danger, for me being to reduce the space and the subjects we are allowed and the way we are allowed to discuss it. No matter what your opinion is( I might not agree with you. But for me the vital point is to keep the discussion open ( at about any cost)
It has really killed culture movies and music we’re so much better and pushed boundaries often now everyone wants to play it safe. I think the left has lost its identity win Bill Clinton was in the country was absolutely killing it and that’s what the democrat party should aspire to be not this garbage.
@@gaelpache6776 I completely agree I do think that we need to have a conversation but inorder for us to have one every side needs a voice and freedom to say their side regardless of what anyone feels and people do need thicker skin now a days and stop the crying over things
Tbh left people should never be offended by that, it was the left who was for freedom of speech and text in every occasion. They are not leftist, they are middle aged women who confuses being against conservatives with being leftist. Some old karens who never share the real principle of left ideas
@@diana.s.danieli so the only joke you thought was funny was the joke that was mocking racism and the rest you thought were 'punching down'. That was the whole message of this entire video.
I used to be woke. I was constantly getting triggered. I protested everything that offended me, and demanded it all be cancelled. Finally I grew out of it, and went to preschool.
Yes no one got offended before in the history of mankind. It's a totally new thing, it appeared like in 2013 or something. History really shows that people always got along and no speech or work of art had ever offended anyone before.
@@r.j.6811 I see your point, however, people failing to understand irony in a comedy show, to the point that the comedian needs to do this full explanation of what irony is and how it works before making it's jokes seems like something at least a little unusual (I won't say "new" because you might get offended by me exaggerating on a word/fail to understand my point again)
God I love ricky. He's not afraid to say it how it is. He is hilarious, in every way. Plus he doesn't apologise for it. He is a breath of fresh air. There are times when we just need to laugh about life.
He is more intelligent than most of us. Also the people that view themselves as quite bright, based om the education they managed to get, the jobs they were able to get, or start a successful company, etc, etc. He is gold!
@@Nordmore68🙂 I have nothing to discover in this case. I would friendly suggest to rather hope for improved self esteem for yourself. For me, Ricky Gervais and Dave Chapelle are currently the best that stand up comedy can offer.
I think that's it, really. The easily offended, militant twitter warriors really haven't been through anything. The fact they spend their time getting offended on twitter is probably the first clue of their sheltered life
I’m a fan of in your face comedy like George Carlin and Ricky Gervais. The world needs people who aren’t afraid to call us out on tough subjects. Miss George’s rants, but I will be watching a lot more of Ricky in the future! 😊❤
The subject of the joke is that as kids die because of lack of safe drinking water in Africa, we, in the developed countries use it to wash our cars. But we feel ok because we are adopting a kid or making a donation. He just said it at least two times in the clips. How could you have missed it?
Love Ricky Gervais, he's very funny. Carrying the flame of a long lost age of against-the-grain humour. The flame of Carlin, Pryor, Seinfeld etc. One of the most daring comedians today. This progressive humour today makes me wanna spew. It is just bitter, insufferable and politically correct. Comedy as we know it has gone down the shitter.
Bernard Manning was one of the best live acts back in the day. He often said humour is born out of adversity which is why so many comedians came from deprived areas of the country and started their careers making light of their day to day situations. He understood people and shared their experiences which nowadays is interpreted very differently.
so funny and intelligent. What I like to say is: "when I make a joke about black people, I am not actually laughing about black people but the people who would say such a thing and seriously mean it!! "
Why would you think evangelical preachers talk about woke culture? Also, stop using that stupid term. It means just one thing: awareness of racial discrimination. Nothing else. Just because the right plasters all the media with it and is obviously too stupid too argue sensibly that does not mean it means anything different.
Brilliant! Hits the nail on the head every time! Funny as F**k! Don't like it, go sit in your safe room and have a good cry!.. Don't stop being you Ricky!. Nuff said!
He is correct when he says that when somebody says that something is offensive the truth is that no, you "found" it to be offensive but that doesn't mean the comment was offensive. It depends on a person's feelings about what was said. Not everyone finds everything offensive.
Love this man-says what we are all thinking but are too afraid to say-cant stop listening to the old podcasts with him, Merchant and Pilkington-absolute comedy gold-thank you Ricky
The first time I saw a Ricky Gervais performance was on a game called GTA IV on PS3 and he was just as funny back then. He is one of my favourite comedians.
Lets agree: woke culture makes the job too easy for Ricky. You can see him thinking it at the end of every joke he tells. "Seriously? I need to say just this to get laughs?"
I still don't understand something a kid would do, that saying and doing things that get others so triggered and worried it's like the Best fuel to keep doing that
When real life becomes absurd, it is too easy. The problem is he could easily be cancelled or imprisoned if the powers that be decide to make an example.
You can't get offended, you DECIDE to BE offended. It is an active choice. And it is neurotic behavior. If you decide not to feel offended or insulted you simply aren't. I never feel offended. Because the people who could offend and insult me because they are close enough to me, don't do it and those who try it are not close enough to me to be able to make me feel offended. But, of course, playing the victim's role is a powerful tool to shut other people up.
There are people where insulting/offending them is easiyer, it has a lot to do with your personality. There are people who can not really choose what insults them, also there are those who think they have to defend everything and everyone... hold on, wait a second
This legend did what few could ever think was even possible, when he called out all the hipocrisy, deceive and mafia that lies around Paedoland aka Hollywood, TO THEIR FACES!!! BLOODY LEGEND, RICKY BOY💪🔥❤️
Thank you Ricky, been waiting to see your commentary on this for a while. As usual your comedy, intellect and determination to hold onto sane thought is most welcome in this absurd version of the world. Lock the doors
Ricky’s best quote:
“Just because you’re offended, doesn’t mean you’re right!”
Hitchens already took the best version of that.
"I'm Offended"
"So fucking what?"
And Stephen Fry has a great one:
"That's offensive"
"I'm still waiting to hear your argument"
just because you're offended doesn't mean i care. :D
I'd actually argue that being offended almost always means that you're wrong.
@@chrish2112 good thing you said almost cuz you would be very very wrong if you did not XD
No it means I'm offended..... That's something you have to deal with.
He tells the truth and doesn't care if you're offended which is really the way comedy should be.
In Canada he'd be fined or risk jail time
@@Qwijebo says more about Canada really
What pisses me off is these dicks who are offended on behalf of people they don’t know, worry about things that affect you personally
It's how it should be in life in general
@@lewismorgan5023 - That's too bad for him because it won't stop people from insulting him. If that's really true, then he needs to grow thicker skin.
Can't make jokes about food allergies......that's nuts.
Agreed, who would fekking do that...that's baloney
I see what you did there
🤦♂️
Have some respect and don't be so shellfish.
They're so intolerant
Nobody does woke comedy better than Ricky Gervais. Nobody. And I LOVE how he handles the Hollywood "Elite" at the awards shows. Nothing better.
Jp sears has a pretty addictive CZcams channel
Chapelle is still great.
he doesnt do woke comedy. thats the point. he does anti-woke comedy.
That was classic.
Ryan Long does a good job as well
«You don’t know who the dominant MOB will be.»
Perfect
Ricky Gervais has made it impossible to cancel Ricky Gervais.
Humor is the best way to cope in those dark days! Thank you Ricky 😂
I think I'd like the comedy better if it weren't promoted as "DESTROYED!". A little tiresome.
What dark days?
*Humour
"Those" dark times? So they're over now?
It always was….look at the humour that came out of the carnage of the two world wars! Humour is the very best safety valve that we have..And yes..in humour there always has to be a victim, the butt of the joke…Accept it, and live with it.
Ricky Gervais is just one of the best comedian in the world, I'm glad we all have him!
As someone who is on the left I am getting really sick of woke culture thank you Rickey

Well, you started it.
just when i thought humor was dead...it is refreshing to hear someone funny.
"I'm like Rosa Parks, you know what I mean ? Except I fought for the right to never have to take a seat on a bus." Pure magic.
Only actual funny joke of the whole bunch, the rest just punching down
@@diana.s.danieli yea he shouldn't make fun of retarded people =\
@DianaDanieli Who rained on your parade? You don't get sarcasm or irony obviously..
@@diana.s.danieli so the only joke you thought was funny was the joke that was mocking racism and the rest you thought were 'punching down'. That was the whole message of this entire video.
George Carlin said the exact same thing in his stand up 30 years ago and it still is true now more than ever.
so true ;)
Truth
One of the smartest funniest and charming real person. Rare these days❤
His charm and manners always throw me...
Ricky Gervais is absolutely brilliant and he’s right too. Love it!
He's real, dealing with real life things, a real good laugh and a dose of reality with it, no BS.
Saw Ricky at Wembley last Friday. Thank goodness there is still someone who can tell a joke that offends. He can't be cancelled.
you should watch jimmy carr or frankie boyle if you like jokes that offend :)
I have seen some of their material & yes it is offensive & funny.
There is a difference between telling a joke TO offend someone and a joke that someone FINDS offensive. This is why RG is so brilliant.
L'humour et l'intelligence sont inséparables. Ricky Gervais en est un exemple !
Mais oui, the creme de la menthe
Merci. C'est tres importants on peut partager les idees mais aujourd'hui c'est difficile. I am Scottish so sorry if not correct.
Ricky Gervais is brilliant! I am so glad that there are people like him speaking out loud, what this woke nonsense is all about.
I used to be woke. I was constantly getting triggered. I protested everything that offended me, and demanded it all be cancelled. Finally I grew out of it, and went to preschool.
Good joke. I like that one
😂😂😂😂😂
Man, what dark times we are in, in which a comedian has to explain what is irony on a show word by word... Genius btw
Yes no one got offended before in the history of mankind. It's a totally new thing, it appeared like in 2013 or something. History really shows that people always got along and no speech or work of art had ever offended anyone before.

He’s funny, and direct, nut never nasty or mean. He just highlights reality.
What a Legend, don’t ever stop Ricky!
I'm a disabled person that has been through hell and there is nothing that offends me.Nothing

Like Frankie Boyle. He's good.
It’s a sad world when comedians are the voices of reason.
They always have when they shine a light on a subject that's controversial with a sense of humor.
@@FooeyMcgooey The Jester is the only one that can tell the King the truth.

I love his comedy because it’s real. No sugar coating or any other crap. Just raw, unfiltered truth.
If it made people laugh it’d be even better!
@@paulrenshaw8061I see you’ve commented a couple times to different people. Ricky is funny.

I'm just glad this will be on the internet forever
Ricky is one of the best comedians EVER!
Genius. Comedy, Life, Art
Sessions
As he says repeatedly it's not aimed at anyone, it's the joke as we are all human
Funny ...witty we need more of Ricky's
I honestly don't see how anyone could not find this guy brilliant and hilarious.
Yes, Ricky is vulgar but he makes more sense talking about our current woke culture than some evangelical preachers.
You mean: You find him vulgar.😂
It's people like the evangelical preachers and your politicians that are driving this anti woke nonsense, driving hate and divisions between people
Why would you think evangelical preachers talk about woke culture? Also, stop using that stupid term. It means just one thing: awareness of racial discrimination. Nothing else. Just because the right plasters all the media with it and is obviously too stupid too argue sensibly that does not mean it means anything different.
Ricky says what a lot people think but don’t say.
Don't change the facts change the feelings
"I'm like Rosa Parks except I fought for the right to never have to sit on a bus" fucking killed me
Pure British brilliance.
This is hands down the best stand up of our decade
I am a relatively recent convert to Rickys` syle of comedy, now I think he speaks more sense than most of the globe......
Brilliant! Hits the nail on the head every time! Funny as F**k! Don't like it, go sit in your safe room and have a good cry!.. Don't stop being you Ricky!. Nuff said!
What a true comedian/legend. I love Ricky! ♥️
Love you, Ricky! Keep on keepin on! I love your comedy! I need the laughs so much. :). ❤️
He is hilarious. I looooove him.
Love Ricky , he can say what he likes knowing he cannot be cancelled as it’s all true
Love this guy....Ty Xxx
He's great! Very down-to-earth, tells it like it is!
You mean he tells it the way you want to hear it.
also: down-to-earth? Ricky?! xD
Smart and funny, that’s an understatement. Keep being uncensored Mr. Gervais.
He is also a brilliant actor...David Brent was sublime acting
He is correct when he says that when somebody says that something is offensive the truth is that no, you "found" it to be offensive but that doesn't mean the comment was offensive. It depends on a person's feelings about what was said. Not everyone finds everything offensive.
It couldnt get any funnier. Love it!
Ricky Gervais is an absolute legend 👊🏾
He is my 2nd favourite after George Carlin. Throws jokes like does not give a shit what you think. Absolutely genius.
but ; he GIVES a shit !!
🎉
thàt's why such as him are needed !!
Never heard Bill Burr then … 😂
I heard Bill Burr, he is good but if you think how much work done by RG BB is not very close to him. BB is good too.@@ma3stro681
Ricky is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! So right, AND so brilliantly FUNNY!! SHARED!! Please share this important video as widely as possible, folks!
The funniest person on the planet IMO 😅😂
First time I enjoyed watching Ricky and actually agree with him. Well Done on the award ceremony too …. Classic 👍
so you didn't agree with his award ceremony bits? which part?
Love Ricky... wish he ran our media
Devine comedy & never change your ways..love'n'light..❤❤❤
Brilliant - truth and to the point. Love him.

"Not as much as Bruce Jenner"
