- Actor and comedian Ricky Gervais has thanked the people who tried to get him cancelled.
Mr Gervais posed a clip of his stand up ‘Armageddon’ on X.
“Thanks to everyone who complained about this trailer and even signed a petition to get #Armageddon removed from Netflix. You helped make it the most watched special in the world,” Mr Gervais wrote.
Comedian Stephen Merchant is among the comedians who have also spoken out against cancel culture.
Mr Merchant told the Observer magazine the "left" is "policing comedy" with "sensitivities that seem out of proportion to the joke".
He said comedians have to be “more cautious” than ever before to avoid “justifying” their jokes on social media.
The only reason somebody finds a joke offensive is because there is truth in it😂
When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear. - The Big Short (2015 Movie)
This is an adaption from a quote by George Bernard Shaw - "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you."
Sometimes…. Its not a joke… all We know it…. Its the truth being funny 😂😂😂
And Thats the moment people start to hate you ❤
Or it makes people laugh, can’t have anyone being happy.
No it's NOT the only reason for being offended - they can be offended by lies about them too. If someone called Mike Tyson a wuss he'd have punched them in the face...he's not offended because he's really a wuss, but because it's a lie and they are being disrespectful.
I hate Hollywood culture and Ricky is correct about most of what he says...
Music aggravating during talking
Can't watch any more
Yeah why tf is that music here?
Sabotage, who was mixing the sound?
Get RID of that bloody music!! It's annoying as hexx!!
@@kairosquerencia4011 JOBAMA
Background music awful and massively and irritatingly distracting
Not quite sure if this still qualifies as "background music".....
You're both wrong. The background music is Awesome. u 2 boring
The background music is Awesome! all the complainers are cry babies! Get your diapers changed because your rashed!
@@James-kj4cy as of when I reply now to you there are another 95 people who all agree with my comment. Maybe you need a dummy
This is background interview on a song
What's with the terrible background music?
Gosh,yes! Good grief..
It wouldn't surprise me one little bit if it turned out that Sky News didn't add the background music but CZcams added it themselves. Things are going to get bad as we get closer to the election.
People who love comedy need to support comedy. If you can't laugh at yourself, you should not laugh.
Never a truer word spoken.
If you cannot laugh at yourself, someone else will do it for you. Might as well join them!
He will NEVER be cancelled.
The reason he can't be cancelled is because he don't care about being cancelled.
That's how we get rid of the woke mindvirus, don't give it attention.
CUT THE BACKGROUND MUSIC...i want to concentrate on what's said
Please end the fucking music. it adds nothing.
By the way can you TURN THE BLOODY MUSIC OFF?
Sky News, why do you have the ANNOYING background music playing while we are trying to listen to your videos.
Thank you
There'll be a reason. Probably makes it very hard to copy out the audio and steal it ...
@@MrTonaluv -- Why would anyone steal it? It's available here to listen to for free.
@@MrTonaluv It's to make the message seem more 'Profound". Like the violins they add to everything Jordan Peterson says.
Comedy is what helps the truth go down.
well said 👏👏👏👏 a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down......rock on Gervais keep pushing it forward ●○•°
👏👏👏
why the music in the background? it's unnecessary and distracting
Please turn the music down. What are the people saying?
Background music is too loud.
almost foreground music.....
The description you needed was 'military age,' Esther.
why is there music in the background
He's one of my favorite comedians. Life's hard. Get a helmet.
Ricky what a legend.
Please turn off the music...
that background music is distracting
Why are the sound engineers always like democrats, they are always bloody annoying with their agendas. This time its loud obnoxious noise over the speakers.
Turn the music off for goodness sake 😢
Ricky has the greatest stand ups since Eddie Murphy's Delirious.
Is that music when they are talking really necessary?
Cut the annoying background music. Who ever thought it was a good idea ?
What is with the background muzak?
The geezer is a legendary troll! He gets drunk off the snowflakes tears! 😂😂
Tell me how old you are without telling me how old you are. I'll go first. I watched this live on TV:

Just funny comedy please
Don't we all? 😆😁
@@martinepstein3332Go have a sit with your emotional support hampster.
@@martinepstein3332You asked for comedy! 😉
Get rid of that intern who thought that background noise was a good idea.
😂😂😂 yes laugh people, it’s ok, laugh… 🤣
please! get rid of the crappy music in the background - it is annoying.
The background music should be canceled...
Anyway, best wishes to all decent people from Prague, Czech republic!
The background music is annoying and too loud.
ESTHER KRAKUE is awesome....more contributors like her, please.
Honest, smart and beautiful 😊
smart goodlooking yeah shes gold
Smart beautiful women couldn't put it better myself.
I was hoping someone had made this comment already. All of her points were spot on accurate.
The Krak nailed it.
TURN THE BLOODY MUSIC DOWN!
In the 70's and 80's you couldn't move for comedians. Nowadays you're not allowed to laugh about anything.
A good joke always has an element of truth.
The silly background music is drowning out the people's voices. Please work on your sound balancing. Other than the sound balancing; great content, thank you.
Ricky is the best, but that Trump advert is golden. I can imagine the pink headed meltdowns.
Trump is the best President ever. November will be my fourth time voting for him.
Great broadcast! Love Esther! 🙏💖🇺🇸
More Esther, please . An intelligent and based common sense woman is hard to find !!!
Sky, background music is a bit loud in some of this.
Ricky Gervais is great but the continual crap music behind the spoken words in this clip are distracting and annoying. Why???
I thought it was just me hearing odd background music. It got especially distracting during the Bolt Report interview with Ms. Krakue. Sky News Australia cut out the music please‼️
@@Damndrrtyapes Yes. I closed all my other tabs and it was still happening. It's put behind the spoken words deliberately. Sky News please stop doing it. Thank you. There's no need for it.
There'll be a reason. Probably makes it very hard to copy out the audio and steal it ...
@@MrTonaluv Sorry Mr T. It's easy to copy out both the audio and the video. That odd background music would not make it any harder. It must be for another reason. And by the by, it's not stealing to copy CZcams videos. They are in the public domain.
I noticed "cancel culture," started around Barry Santoro's appearence on the world stage,
"Shut it down" has always been around. Lenny Bruce's comedy was targeted decades before Ricky.
🤣🤣🤣Ah just love RG's humour
A hero .
Wow, that Esther Krakue woman is GORGEOUS.
How dare you assume her gender. 😂😂😂
That's right, ridiculous isn't it?
@@bigbarty8648 I don't even need to assume; if I find someone attractive it *is* a woman.
@@edwinov Be careful in Bangkok! 😊
@@bigbarty8648 I don't find ladyboys attractive.
Word
Awesome. It sounds like a show I need to watch. Thank you. I will put Ricky on my list to watch now.
Note to Stephen Merchant, don't go on social media! There are too many people browsing it looking for something to be upset about!
Esther Krakau - Be still my beating heart
Guys, the music was very annoying and made it hard to hear sometimes.
A lot of people are saying this but is Sky News listening ???
Esther is so easy to listen to and a pleasure to look at
Luv’n Ricky!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for reminding me of that special, I need to watch it now; it looks like actual fun.
You should tone down the background music a bit however.
So sick of these people who can’t take a joke! If you don’t like it don’t watch it!
Will Albo and the Minister of Truth protect Aussies from this blasphemy?
I love your content but the background music is really distracting, especially when it includes clicking sounds.
But dont cancel your sound guy!!! Just give him the feedback.
Hate to be that guy but please fix the typo in your title. You've got "tired" instead of "tried".
Clearly the standards are slipping at Rita’s Pravda propagation machine™️. 😏
@@Jolis_Parsec Oh! Still going with the Russian Disinformation narrative! I hope Hillary's paying you well! 🤣
They've got "woke" instead of "losers" in the title too.
@@Rathkryn Cope harder about your propaganda outlet failing at basic spelling and grammar, sweetie. 😏
@@Jolis_Parsec were you trying to say "propaganda"...? "Propagation" means something entirely different...
I came for Ricky. I stayed for the music.
I applaud Ricky Gervais for the courage to face down the forces against him and do "politically incorrect" comedy. He's well-established and wealthy enough to take on this fight when many young comedians can't risk it. We're behind you, Ricky, and you are freakin hilarious. Keep it up!
It's not a reason to demand a boycott on a comedian if you don't get his/hers jokes. That's a reason to go and find a comedian who's jokes you get.
The man is a national treasure, up there with all the brit greats ❤
Some ppl are just so sensitive it’s comedy gold 😂 how they get through their day is quite amazing, they’re just so offended for everyone.
I came here for Ricky Gervais -- and find myself wanting more of Esther Krakue. I had never heard of her before. What a rare combination of intelligence, wisdom, and beauty. I think I could listen to and watch her for hours on end.
I'm a Christian and I don't find jokes that make fun of Jesus funny. I also believe in other people right to tell jokes I don't like. I can laugh at the jokes I find funny and not at the ones I don't find funny.
See what would happen if a comedian made a joke about Muhammad . Remember The French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo was taken to court for publishing the cartoons; it was acquitted of charges that it incited hatred. The incident marked the beginning of a number of violent incidents related to the cartoons of Muhammad at the newspaper over the following decade.
France is emerging from one of its worst security crises in decades after three days of attacks by gunmen brought bloodshed to the capital Paris and its surrounding areas. It began with a massacre at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday 7 January and ended with a huge police operation and two sieges two days later.
But nobody ever went on a rampage over jokes about Jesus. It's only a joke and like it or don't like it, be tolerant.
@@dougadams9419 Yes that is true. I might explain why the joke I don't like is not funny or wrong or choose not to watch the person again. The difference is Islam worships death. What I mean by that is Islam says kill those who are not Muslim. The greatest honour in Islam is to die for Allia. Christianity says love those who hate you. Jesus said never said die for me. He said that those who hate me will hate you and even try and kill you. But I will die for you so you don't need to fear death because I have taken you into my house and call you family. Jesus said I have given you life live with and for me. One is about death and the other is about life. I don't want people to die I want them to change their point of view and live. But it's their choice.
Jesus drove a Honda. He talked about it in the Bible.
'For I do not speak of my own Accord.'
Not all Christian jokes are bad.
@@cbcsucks2205 there are plenty of Christian comedians. I believe I said Jokes that make fun of Jesus and I laugh at jokes I do find funny. That statement implies there are Jokes about Jesus I do find funny. Clearly it is Joke that ridicule Jesus I was talking about.
Ok, here’s a little joke my mama taught me (all those years ago)…Question: “What is the most elastic material in the whole world?” Answer: “Skin…because in the Bible it says, ‘Jesus tied his ass to a tree and walked forty miles.’”
_“It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that," as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so what?”_
~ Stephen Fry
_“I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.”_
~ Linus Thorvalds
_“Individuals who are focused on becoming better are individuals not easily offended. You can only offend those who are not on a path of constant growth and enlightenment.”_
~ C. JoyBell C.
_“The more easily you get offended, the less developed you are as a human being.”_
~ Robert Celner
Not a fan of his style of humour - but huge fan of his bravery and principles...
Gonna watch it now, thanks whingers nearly missed this one.
The context is good, the ridiculous loud music over the speech nearly deserves a dislike. Change that, please, or don't repeat it. Thank you.
The more I hear the complaints about some stand ups for not being politically correct, the more I want to watch them! 😂😂😂😂
Great special!
Music not loud enough. TURN IT UP.
I absolutely LOVE the background music. It would be brilliant if I could know the music source.
Kill the background noise/music.
It's really annoying !!!
What's with the background music?
I'm not a fan of Ricky Gervais, but I applaud him for standing up against cancel culture, which is only doing a lot of harm instead of actually helping anyone. Kudos to him and others like him for standing his ground.
WTF is with the background music?
Good question !
WHY this music?????????
News flash turn off the music
Love Ricky ❤
The Australian PM is trying to ban memes. His lips were quivering when he was on the verge of crying because someone had ai’d his head onto the body of someone else.
Ricky SMASHES them...😂🤣
Ricky Gervais is such a good dude....how is he canceled????
1 does not 'cancel' Ricky Gervais!
5:03 The way Trump pushed the other guy to get ahead 🤣😂
The thing I liked about that ad was the "Paul Harvey-esque" voice.
Just funny. But it DOES make a great point.
Fix that typo
Was the best stand-up this year .
Mr. Merchant is talking about giving in to the wokeness. Shame on him for aiding in the death of comedy.
One is free to speak ironically.
I really wish people would find out how to properly promounce a persons name before they mention it live.
I haven't seen that ad before. That's fucking gold 😂
The thing about comedy is that it helps us confront difficult truths. These truths can be too difficult to face head on, and the ability to laugh at it helps to make it bearable, and we can then perhaps conjure up the courage to see it for what it is and address appropriately.
If you're not going to let comedy do its thing, then you're only going to end up sitting in denial of painful truths that will inevitably catch up to you -- and it may well be too late to laugh at that point.
All I can say to Ricky and Esther(might be wrong) is 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏 done.
COMIC CON
“You can say that you meant it in jest,
Were just kidding, and all of the rest,
But the fact is you broke

They want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth.
Joe Rogan needs to have him on
I agree…. that background music is uncalled for.
Was he tired of the trolls? Or do you mean TRIED?!
Tired works also. Read a dictionary.
