  • 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.

      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."

      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...

      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.

    The thing I liked about that ad was the "Paul Harvey-esque" voice.

    Mr. Merchant is talking about giving in to the wokeness. Shame on him for aiding in the death of comedy.

    I really wish people would find out how to properly promounce a persons name before they mention it live.

    Just funny. But it DOES make a great point.

    Was that a Paul Harvey voiceover on the Trump ad?

    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.

    Do you really need that ridiculous back ground music? It's so overpowering it makes it difficult to follow the text!
