If a sleep-in is a protest, I'm always protesting.
I'm going to stay awake for the next 48 hours to protest the way you protest.
I didn't realise I was protesting all day Saturday. 😂
Proteccc
Pro-rest
I try to protest but I have insomnia.
Ricky Gervais be dressed as the supreme leader
😂
Hat down Sir
Well, he does seems to love disenfranchised protesters dying/failing. Fuck this bootlicking/transphobic class traitor.
Ben BobJam bahahahahaha! Look at this dickhead.
He defintely needs to change taylors.
Like a caustic TED talk
It's almost like stand-up...
laxowax14 ....wow original
It's like a public address to people with half a brain cell.
Hahahahaha... :D ...
"He's saying what he thinks. In C" 😂😂
Steve Watson Imagine is actually written in C lol
Before I saw the bit I thought it was a programming joke
@@blahblahblahblah2837 what is it about? I didn't get it
@@IanDmitriyevitch He's saying protest songs are weak tools for political change (or at least are weak efforts for change). When he says 'He's saying what he thinks. In C', he's referring to the C chord as he does an air-guitar motion. I thought he meant the C programming language.
Steve Watson saw this exactly when this line came up
Crispy Duck to his mates😀😀😀😀
So sick.......but so funny 😂
K
🤣🤣🤣serious topics and yet here we are cracking up🤣🤣The Rage against the machine album cover
It's only funny because you don't know how to pronounce Vietnamese right. The actual name is nowhere near that
@@minhqun shut up Kwun Ming
"I made it sick once" Ewww🤣🤣🤣
Poor rabbit.
@@jondunmore4268 yeah, scared stiff with no fur.
And no legs, either.
Seriously, you censored the word “shag?”
Gervais himself would roast you for that kind of spineless moralizing.
Right lol
Probably CZcams wouldn’t show the video to anyone’s recommended etc if they didn’t, CZcamss gotten really strict in recent years
I think it has to do with demonetization, not spineless moralizing~🥱
Ricky is a hypocrite. He was all drooling over Jimmy Savile when he interviewed him. You can't find that interview anymore, it's blocked everywhere.
@@harrynac6017 He can be whatever he wants, it's just money business.
That yoko joke was brilliantly executed
The Buddhist monk he talks about that set himself on fire is actually the cover art for the first rage against machine album. It's an amazing picture really. You're basically seeing the final moments of his life as he's burning to death snapped in a photo.
Dont you love it when it hits a music fan who doesn't know the meanings of there artists
@@kreaturekie6753 *their
That photo really was amazing
Fill ya boot mate
Just had to check this one since it sounded quite wild! Turns out it really is true. Really interesting piece of history there! Thanks for sharing!
_"I'd save that for my autobiography, that's the way to do it"_
I see where he could've gone with this part of the joke & I like it.
"or crispy duck, to his mates" lmao he got roasted
"He got roasted..." That's a bit indelicate, isn't it?
I miss this Ricky. When comedians are hungry they're funnier
What do you mean?
*"Starving Artist"*
Gotta be funny to eat, that and humour is often born in tragedy 😉
now for the o.p.
Plenty of chunky comics...
Seems tho, most artists loose their Art, when the join "the club"
He looks like he's hungry all the time. BTW - is he still attacking fat people?
He's funnier now than he was back then. Same with George Carlin, he was a better comedian as he got older and less "hungry.''
@@nancygerette He never attacked fat people. He made a joke in a context where a joke is expected, while playing a part on a stage, fully aware of the irony that he was overweight himself. If that is an attack, comedy is not for you.
Everyone: *laughter and applause*
That one guy: 1:25
SULUUUUU
Oh, yeaaa.. I know the first time i saw that monk burning alive in protest of murderous oppression the lulz were unstoppable....... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@benbobjam3495 Oh fuck off you fucking cry baby, you say you're offended at that but I bet you'd have no problem seeing a white guy get beat up for wearing a MAGA hat. Yeah you're so against violence
@@electricnick260 oh no the oppressors are being hurt we should be offended! I love how this asshat just made up a random story to be offended by. Literally all conservatives do

Fluuuuush down the drain or the sarlac pit.
I love how much Ricky’s “exasperated” voice sounds like Jay from Inbetweeners.
“Crispy duck” 🤣🤣
I lost it XD
Dude. He is killing it. Freaking funny.
"A conversation with rain man ...."
Pretty much🤣
" and i made it sick once." looooooool
"Watch out he has a guitar"
Shag Yoko ? Oh no !!
Right, get the petrol then...
Yolk oh? Oh no
Anyone else read that as shog for literally no reason
"Her name is not Yoke Ono"!
I'd choose the burn as well
Fun Fact: We Didn't Start The Fire is basically one huge "fuck you" to a friend of Sean Lennon who told him nothing happened in the 50s, which makes the song pretty enjoyable if you think about it that way
in the whole world i love watching these 2 man laughing charles chaplin and ricky gervais they laugh from their soul from inside pure and clean........
i love celebrities now who say they are "raising awareness" this has to be the "phone it in" of all activism ( not including praying of course *THE LAZIEST* form of activism)
The more annoying part of them "raising awareness" is that most of the money that gets donated at these events doesn't even go the cause.
Bono is a great example. For years he was lauded as a great guy for raising money for charities. Turns out the lions share of it all went into his pockets as he was, in his words, "raising awareness" for these charities.
Fuck em. Donate directly.
@@munky342 nobody gets into philanthropy as a hobby. It's never made sense that these guys are the face of their campaigns, asking for your money, under the impression that they have enough money that a bit of it is disposable? for free?
... sure.
Makes me laugh when they say they're raising awareness for cancer or other disease. Because we've never heard of those have we
If you want to help pet shelters, purchase supplies/food and drop off at local places. These big organizations are bullshit. Who pays for the advertising and celebrity endorsements? Gift bags, people taking calls. Give them $100. Maybe $3 actually is used to help. Help out in your own back yard where you can make a real difference.
Those precious moments when an atheist weighs in on prayer.
Lmaoooooo “that’s not a song that’s a conversation w rain man!” 🤣🤣🤣
The burning monk wasn’t protesting the war, he was merely protesting the oppression of the Buddhist, as he said. Ironically, rather than ending the oppression, it kicked it into high gear. His protest ultimately did nothing for the cause, but he was remembered fondly because of, well, the media. The picture taken by the AP journalist looked surreal, a great photograph. That was what immortalised Thich Quang Duc. He wasn’t the first to do such a thing, and wasn’t the last. But the picture made him into a legend. Which is the point. What’s the point of killing yourself for your cause, if it doesn’t have the media power to send a message? Lucky for Thich Quang Duc, the AP reporter brought his camera with him. Compare his selflessness to John Lennon and Yoko shallow bed protest, it really shows that the intention, sincerity and meaning completely pales to the spectacle. I would argue that Lennon and his mad wife did more to rouse up the public than Thich Quang Duc, but I have no statistics to back that up. In any case, it’s up to comedians to deliver these lessons succinctly.
I was just about to practice guitar and as soon as I sat down he said "look out mate he's got a guitar" LMAO
So much quality irony in this stand up. Reveals so many truths.
So this was 2004?
Man Ricky Gervais is always on his game.
"I made it sick once."
LMAO
He cracked at that one and it was great 😂
You can figure out the year of rickys stand up by the amount of hair he has
@@Just_another_Euro_dude No because he slims down for every tour he does and there've been many over the years
Lmao very true XD
Or crispy duck to his mates😃
LMAO XD
Only Ricky could roast Hollywood like he did.
...the one about Grandad Charlie and the rabbit... I'm speechless
That makes ya speechless? Look up Ricky doing the dirtiest joke in the world. That's just too fun to tell at dinner parties!
Ricky Gervais is just the best.
He’s not really appreciated in Reading for some reason. Reading ain’t poor lol
also Kevin Bridges
Robin Elliot yeah i like Kevin cuz he doesn’t go too far, he’s not trying to “destroy taboos” or be “offensive”, he’s simply genuinely funny. He can make anything funny, i think it’s the accent.. the Scottish charm and all😅
@deekat3279 He lived in one of the poorer parts of Reading but in terms of incomes unemployement etc it is noticeably more well of than the national average. I think your right he does exaggerate for comic effect
@deekat3279 I would recommend going to Sweeney Todds pie shop on castle street. it is in between the two oldest pubs in Reading(the Horn and the Sun). You could also do a tour of Reading prison where Oscar Wilde was imprisoned (the jail closed in late 00s and is now basiclaly a museum). Also if you would like to visit the area where Ricky grew up you could go to Whitley and watch a footbal;l or rugby match at the Madejski stadium which is just round the corner from where Ricky grew up. Finally you could visit abbey ruins or the Reading museum. Which the exception of the Madejski Stadium all of the above are located in town centre
So I guess my depressed friend has just really been protesting for 20 years.
F
The handshake when he says “light yourself on fire or shag yoko” kills me
It's almost 2020, this aged like fine wine.
Here in June 2020, this is hitting a little different.
No less wrong. Fools lighting buildings on fire, destroying property as if thats the way to changing what they want. That handful's actions took it a bit far.
It's still as funny as it always was, but people have become whiney bitches who can't take a joke anymore and don't get satire. Sad.
@@MaztRPwn I mean handing out flyers and peacefully protestin didnt do shite
@@TheOmen606 So the answer is to rely on anarchism to justify stealing them airpods?
@@jonahmordhaim2705 no, its not supposed to justify anything. Looting isnt the same as rioting, not in the protestation sort of rioting anyways. If they dont listen when we're peaceful, then they'll listen when we are violent. And sure enough did you see how much more widespread it was? And now the peaceful protests have more momentum because we have their attention. Looters arent protesting, they're stealing.
Have to say that monk burning image is one of the most powerful images I've ever seer. How stoic he is. No muscle moving, no sound while getting engulfed in flames. The most striking image to come from a match striking.
And made a really cool "Rage against The Machine" album cover
I agree. I spilt boiling water on my foot the other day and nearly screamed the house down!
he wouldnt be moving or making a sound in a photo would he?
@@leiladekwatro3147 Duh... There is film of it, in case you weren't aware..
I love it when we the people are given comics like Ricky,class and funny
Can't get enough of Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, Larry David, and Bill Burr. These guys are head and shoulders above their crowd.
What? You don't like Dave Chapelle? Or Jim Jefferies?
@@luxmoto7344 Ehh...take it or leave them.
@@luxmoto7344 I dont like the way he speaks english. Never found myself relating to him or his jokes
Thanks for the recommendations :D
Update to add Theo Von, Shane Gillis, and Tim Dillon for the new breed comics.
He's just brilliant.
Pure genius! Thanks Ricky.
At 1:22 did someone really boo at him for the Yoko joke??? Strange crowd as if he didn't offend anyone or anything else
That was Yoko booing.
I love that you make fun of everything ! Greetings from Czech republic. I love sarcasm!
hear that "boooo" like 3 times... after that third attempt he was probs embarrassed
@RickyGervais you made my (end of the) day. Cause these are exactly my thoughts on posts and Band Aid "thonks"..
Comedy sometimes brings the message home far more than any "serious" speech.
This is one the best and smartest thing I've ever heard and seen.
3:00 lol reminds me of the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
He hasn’t reoffended 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant 😂😂 that's my new word
so brilliant
So glad to hear Nelson Mandela didn't reoffend since his release. Good on him... he's on the straight & narrow . Lol
“You don’t wash it like that. Give it here.”
Absolutely hilarious😂😂😂
@1:27 That double Boo tho. Gervais wasn’t even phased.
The Rage Against the Machine album cover the “crispy duck”..
Ricky is the greatest, makes jokes of such serious topics 😭😅
Grandad Charlie was awesome!!!!
Love it man
This is a master at work.
He's so relaxed here doing his thing.
He's seems to be trying a bit harder in his latest show
The African joke is perfection!!!
The funniest man alive Ricky. 😂
"it was scared stiff"
LMAO
1:26 whys Ronaldo in the audience 😂
“We used to own and run Africa?” How very British of you.
Saudis and Kuwaitis can't hear you making fun of them from atop their mountain of money. Try holding a sign.

During the colonial period, Europe deformed the economies of Africa & impoverished Africa to build up the economies of Europe. Since independence, Europe (plus the USA & Canada) has continued to exploit & impoverish Africa to the tune of ~$640 billion net wealth flow every year (this takes into account ~$800 billion plunder of African people's wealth & a return of ~$160 billion aid).

No. Protests can't change anything. The response to a protest might, but usually doesn't.

I know Ricky is trying to be funny, but the "Burning Buddhist" was indeed successful in the sense that it was reported on/photographed/filmed for display around the world. It signalled to those elsewhere that what someone found it *preferable* to be burned alive than to endure the hardship of the current ongoings in his country. It was a simple message, really, and it drew lots of attention.
Totally agreed. It’s not about making a threat. It’s a message of someone who was repressed and wanted to be heard. I left Vietnam because of communism but I think Ricky’s bit on Thich Quang Duc was very unpleasant to me.
man as a vietnamese this is very unfunny and painful to watch
US comics (which I love) always talk about the need to perform multiple times a week. Ricky says hold my carling
I love Ricky 😁

Peter Olin no the last will always be the last
Nonsense - he's clueless, fake and feckless on real political and geopolitical issues, truth, facts and outrages. Fireside and slippers belly-laughs and giggles - as feeble and cowardly as HIGNFY.Yawn. See Lee Camp and Jimmy Dore for real political satire of the Samurai Sword kind - as opposed to this typical British butter-knife chortle session.
