I was 10 kilos overweight when I saw this and I was still laughing, then I looked in the mirror and decided to lose weight. I'm now back to normal, thanks Ricky.
This is the type of (typically British) comedy that I really love. Irreverent, politically incorrect, straight-in-the-face. Ricky Gervais is just fantastic.
Ive used the term heavy set all my life and it does describe an obese person. I had a great friend that weighed 625 when she passed away at 64. The dr said it was a miracle she lived that long. Great friend and cook.
Gervais missed a good and quite obvious joke at the end there. When he imitated the fat person eating a banana he should have made it like the gay/cock joke. Eat it until you like it ("i fucking love it") and then you'll be thin. Would have ended the bit really well.
I remember talking to an older woman when I was doing an installation for her whether she thought getting fat was hereditary. She said “ Don’t be silly, nobody who could walk out of Auschwitz was overweight”. Very very poignant.
@@benwu7980 true? Cmon, that Auschwitz comment is a fallacy. The question implies typical modern standards of living where food is available in excess, not a complete depletion of food.
Ricky is right, as a former fat person, we really need a kick in the pants, not a gentle or a kind reminder from our friends and family. For me, it was my doctor telling me, "you will experience extreme health problems if you keep up this way".
My start was back in February with a twitch streamer talking about diets during a speedrun. I started asking a few questions (he was a former cubby dude and a chemist) and he told me to get an app that counts calories and such. So did. Dowm 20kg in 2 Months.
@@ludwigthehusky keep at it brother :) I found oatmeal to be bland at first but its such a great way to stay full. I lost about 70 pounds in 5 months, i just kept at my routine and took pictures every weekend.
It doesn't have to be aggressive or abusive but a reminder of reality can get through. My moment was in a show which involved an autopsy of a very overweight guy. The expected layers of fat or deformed organs didn't have a real impact. The withered minute lungs where the mass in the torso had pushed the diaphragm up so far there was basically no room to breath scared the living hell out of me. Five stone (70lbs) lost over the following two years.
Keep it up bud! You can do it, just be realistic with you goals, and make short term ones and continue on making them after you achieve them. You'll get there.
Honestly, good luck. There will be downtime’s when you feel like giving up. But just keep going at it. It’ll be so worth it in the end. Not just physically, but emotionally/mentally. Keep it up 😊

I love the idea of keeping the sweets beyond a narrower door. I have long advocated the same thing for airplanes. We have all seen baggage sizers at every airport gate, which determine whether your bag will fit in the overhead bin. There should also be people sizers, to see if you can fit in a standard airplane seat. Picture two poles placed 17" apart. If you cannot walk through without touching the sides, then you need to buy a second seat, or a first class seat.
Or the Airlines need to buy better Airplanes with wide Seats for everyone...........but i know you fear for the investors could make less profit.........thats fat gain too
Really? How long do you think it would take for some thin people to go in and buy cake for those who can't fit? Or simply get it home delivered, in bulk? Better still, why not have things set up so you don't need to get out of your car at all? You can have thousands of kJ pushed through your window. Why stop there? Why not get your government to subsidise vast amounts of corn production that gets turned into syrup and put into all sorts of foods, so your population starts inflating at ever increasing rates and industries (ironically) lie their arses off about why that might be happening? Pretty soon there can be entire industries devoted to trying to lose weight. Let alone big pharma and health insurance. Just think of the possibilities! Err, hang on a minute....
@@jurgschupbach3059You know ehat the airlines will say -- itll cost too much for them to replace the seats, then they won't make as much money because they'll sell fewer tickets. So the end result will be much higher prices for plane tickets. What I want is more leg room. I'm 6'4" and have long legs, so I can't fly coach. As a result, I have to pay extra for exit row or business class. But if I and all the tall people bring this up to the airlines, what will they say? Same thing.
So you're saying rather than one person make a change, airplanes should change their system that's worked for 40 years so tubbo can sit without bringing the plane down
I used to be really fat and then one day I looked in the mirror and thought "holy shit im fat!" So I stopped eating, cut back on the booze and exercised three times a week. And everyone keeps asking what's my secret!
Lets get it clear, extreme morbid obesity is a problem, not people who are a few stone overweight. They are usually considered plus size and not "celebrated"... more like not shamed for not being this size thats deemed sexy and how you "should look".
Well I’d be one of those slightly overweight people and let me tell you , we usually need a kick in the pants to be motivated to lose weight. It’s great that I’m not shamed or anything like that but I’d hate it to be applauded for my body cus I’m working on making it better and when my body gets healthier and I’ve put in tons of hard work , THATS what I want to be applauded for
When I finally started changing my life, I started day 1 of my weight loss clocking in at 346 lb and I know exactly how I got there. Finished the Programm with 194 lb and kept that. If I can do it, everyone can.
As someone who's been underweight my whole life, I really appreciate this. Cause when I work hard enough for years to gain enough weight to be considered normal weight and healthy enough to bare children, guess what, noone's waiting on the other side of that victory to congratulate me.
I would say gaining weight is harder than loosing it. Its not like you can gain more calories than there are in the food but only less. Good job on reaching your goal. I still have a long way to go
@@l.h.9747 Consuming glucose constantly throughout the day would probably make it easier to gain weight than simply eating more calories. Glucose would make it much more difficult to lose the weight you are gaining if you make sure you have it throughout the day
@@l.h.9747 I would say it depends on the person. For me it was hard to lose 26 kilos in 2017(4 months). Gaining 48 kilos in 2018-19(16 months) was very easy. All I did was eat.
@@alghoul5317 i mean that its not like you can gain more then there is in the food you eat. If you eat something that has 200cal you cant gain 250cal. But if you have problems with digestion where your stomach isnt very effectice and you cant eat more because you feel sick when you eat over the limit then its a different story. With loosing weight you just dont have to eat that much. It isnt required that you do more of something or work but simply dont stuff yourself full.
@@falsemcnuggethope -- Science, specifically thermodynamics, understands perfectly well that you can't get more energy out of a system than you put in. You can't get fat if you burn more calories than you eat.
@@falsemcnuggethope -- You're saying words and phrases, but I don't think you know what you're talking about. Go to med school and then tell me you know more than I how human physiology works.
@@Makermook if you didn't understand what I said, I probably already know a bit more about physics than you do. I was referring to one of the very basic principles, but obviously one needs a bit more context than the first physics lesson to understand what it really means.
I'm a WHO trained anti-obesity counselor and how being fat has become a norm is beyond terrifying for me. Obesity and excess fat can down-grade one's quality of life to the point where just being alive becomes an effort. For example, it directly affects the basics: the breathing, the walking and going to the toilet. And that's the starters on obesity pack. So people, please understand that just breathing is not living. Strive for a disease-free and thriving life. May God bless us all.
@Joe BT i don't mind about what you're saying to me. But i do agree that caps dude kinda fucked up. I mean wtf he doesn't even speaking about the context
I hope that ricky gervais knows that he is loved and respected for his brilliant humor and the fact that he doesn't bend to political correctness and doesn't give a fuck about people who get offended. Never change ricky
Not too long ago, I actually saw a picture from an ancient temple where the doorway to the dining hall was like 30cm(1ft? Ish?) wide, so if a monk got too fat, he'd actually not fit through the door. Also, if that happened, it'd be his own fault, because having to pull in the belly to squeeze through the door of the only place you get food is a pretty clear warning bell.
He's right when he said losing weight won't necessarily make you more pretty as a lot of plus size people have some of the most cute, stunning faces I've ever seen and sometimes they just don't look the same if they lose too much weight. Some people genuinely just suit a little bit of weight better.
True. There was a lady at church who I thought had cancer because she lost so much weight and looked gaunt. Some People do look great with less weight (eg Adele) but in her case she looked sick. Plus the loose skin is off putting
I used to be in great shape in my 20s and early 30s, thin but toned, 8-pack abs, under 10% body fat. Now I’m overweight and slightly flabby, with over 25% body fat. Who do I blame? Myself and no one else. How did I get this way? Eating and drinking the wrong things and not exercising enough. It’s not rocket science!
Andrew Guerra Thanks my man! Been working out 4 times a week and counting calories and nutrients via app for the past 3 months. Trying to get back on track!
Not really true... For example, if someone is considered attractive while vulnerable (eg when young), gaining weight could be a subconscious/conscious self-defense mechanism against unwanted predatory attention.
Lost 10kg in about 6 weeks. Did 10 minutes of sit ups and bum exercises then go for a 5 km walk 5 days a week. Cut the coke and chocolate eclairs in the afternoon. 86kg to 76kg
I went into KFC when they had the sliders. There were two people in there with the family sized buckets and a half gallon of Pepsi each. I'm guessing they just have a 'thyroid issue'.
Years ago on a inter island flight in the Caribbean the pilot made people do just that. He came in the cabin before take of & told certain people to change seats, I will never forget it lol.
Used a calorie counter app for a few months, nearly drove me crazy but I did lose 15-20 pounds.. I don't use it anymore but I am definitely more aware of my portion sizes
"Nearly drove me crazy" may not have been the best choice of words.. That being said having to routinely log and keep track of every calorie I was eating was annoying as fuck.. Kinda like your comment..
@8:36 - I knew a guy who actually said that once. At a work Christmas party a rather portly colleague, who I only ever saw stuffing his face with Pizza Hut and KFC, complained that the food in a Greek restaurant "wasn't normal food" and went home early. The dish in question was roast lamb with steamed vegetables. It couldn't be more normal. Unbelievable.
Whats funny is this same exact logic can be used with cigarettes and lung cancer and abusive drinking and liver disease. Literally just change the wording to fit the topics and it's perfect.
***** I agree with the physical addiction, but I disagree that they are much harder to quit. A lot of people eat in excess because of an emotional issue, to me they're one in the same. But I've never been addicted to drinking or smoking, I have lost about 50 pounds in the last 2 years though and it is the hardest thing I've ever done with my life, trust me it was a lot more than "just not eat a bunch of junk food". To me the logic seems the same, glad I'll never have to find out if I'm right or wrong.
I agreed with your physical addiction argument, but it sounds to me like you're describing a meth or crack addict and maybe a very small percentage of heavy drinkers. I don't disagree with the points you're making but I think you're describing a different target than I was.
I agree to a 'degree' however unlike smoking and drinking, the effects of obesity are more visually prominent! Even the NHS said that obesity is the new smoking!! 1 in 5 school kids today in the UK have obesity! These are higher stats than any other child related condition!! It's just as bad with adults too! It's all down to 3 simple words....choices, behaviours and responsibilities! :(
Eating is a physical addiction as well and can have withdrawal effects just like any other addictive substance. You do get release of dopamine and serotonin with food and just about anything that makes you 'feel good' including drugs, sex, food, and for varying groups many other activities like stealing, killing, adrenaline junkies etc... They are all motivated by the effect of release of the 'positive' neuro-chemicals and their effects on the brain.
Being fat is one of few problems you can run from.

Better still, why not have things set up so you don't need to get out of your car at all? You can have thousands of kJ pushed through your window.
Why stop there?
Why not get your government to subsidise vast amounts of corn production that gets turned into syrup and put into all sorts of foods, so your population starts inflating at ever increasing rates and industries (ironically) lie their arses off about why that might be happening?
Pretty soon there can be entire industries devoted to trying to lose weight. Let alone big pharma and health insurance.
Just think of the possibilities!
Err, hang on a minute....
@jurgschupbach3059 yup, everyone else should sponsor fat peoples double seater
@@jurgschupbach3059You know ehat the airlines will say -- itll cost too much for them to replace the seats, then they won't make as much money because they'll sell fewer tickets. So the end result will be much higher prices for plane tickets.
What I want is more leg room. I'm 6'4" and have long legs, so I can't fly coach. As a result, I have to pay extra for exit row or business class. But if I and all the tall people bring this up to the airlines, what will they say? Same thing.
So you're saying rather than one person make a change, airplanes should change their system that's worked for 40 years so tubbo can sit without bringing the plane down
Seriously, that small door idea is genius.
I used to be really fat and then one day I looked in the mirror and thought "holy shit im fat!" So I stopped eating, cut back on the booze and exercised three times a week. And everyone keeps asking what's my secret!

You stopped eating and still lived?
The force is strong on this one
@@tullamorejameson480 I still eat, just not nearly as much.
Cuz they all want an easy shortcut cuz they're lazy in the first place
Exactly, you dont have to be fit, just have some restraint. You dont need to exercise all the time, just every now and then
Now we call it "plus size" and "celebrate" it.
Lets get it clear, extreme morbid obesity is a problem, not people who are a few stone overweight. They are usually considered plus size and not "celebrated"... more like not shamed for not being this size thats deemed sexy and how you "should look".
Plus size and obese are very different but a lot of people are grouping it together
Celebrating a lack of any will power and a lack of any kind of physical movement.
@Adithya Nair Are u sure you can't change 10 kg for your health?
Well I’d be one of those slightly overweight people and let me tell you , we usually need a kick in the pants to be motivated to lose weight. It’s great that I’m not shamed or anything like that but I’d hate it to be applauded for my body cus I’m working on making it better and when my body gets healthier and I’ve put in tons of hard work , THATS what I want to be applauded for
He is the best.
This is great. He tells it the way it (mostly) is.
I figured someone's been injecting a million calories into my salad 😂

When I finally started changing my life, I started day 1 of my weight loss clocking in at 346 lb and I know exactly how I got there. Finished the Programm with 194 lb and kept that. If I can do it, everyone can.
@Have-a- Cigar shut up
What program was it?
@Have-a- Cigar nobody gives a fuck about your reply either.
@Have-a- Cigar Who hurt you?
Have-a- Cigar thank you for carrying so much that you took the time to write a comment.
this was the best so far
Dude is truthful and hilarious!
Think we all know what sort of people pressed the dislike button...
Doubt they had the energy
Good on them
@@paulbissonnette3650 who?
heterosexuals who had to wean themselves onto c0ck :D :D
Hahahahahahaha
As someone who's been underweight my whole life, I really appreciate this. Cause when I work hard enough for years to gain enough weight to be considered normal weight and healthy enough to bare children, guess what, noone's waiting on the other side of that victory to congratulate me.
I would say gaining weight is harder than loosing it. Its not like you can gain more calories than there are in the food but only less. Good job on reaching your goal. I still have a long way to go
I fully agree and am in the exact same scenario. Good job bro😉👌
@@l.h.9747 Consuming glucose constantly throughout the day would probably make it easier to gain weight than simply eating more calories. Glucose would make it much more difficult to lose the weight you are gaining if you make sure you have it throughout the day
@@l.h.9747 I would say it depends on the person. For me it was hard to lose 26 kilos in 2017(4 months). Gaining 48 kilos in 2018-19(16 months) was very easy. All I did was eat.
@@alghoul5317 i mean that its not like you can gain more then there is in the food you eat. If you eat something that has 200cal you cant gain 250cal. But if you have problems with digestion where your stomach isnt very effectice and you cant eat more because you feel sick when you eat over the limit then its a different story. With loosing weight you just dont have to eat that much. It isnt required that you do more of something or work but simply dont stuff yourself full.
He’s the British Bill Burr
"You get fat when you take in more calories than you burn off."
I've had people try to argue that it doesn't work that way.
And they'd be right. Human body is actually a very complicated system that science does not fully understand.
@@falsemcnuggethope -- Science, specifically thermodynamics, understands perfectly well that you can't get more energy out of a system than you put in. You can't get fat if you burn more calories than you eat.
@@Makermook your model of energy out equals energy in hides the storage component so it's not useful here.
@@falsemcnuggethope -- You're saying words and phrases, but I don't think you know what you're talking about. Go to med school and then tell me you know more than I how human physiology works.
@@Makermook if you didn't understand what I said, I probably already know a bit more about physics than you do. I was referring to one of the very basic principles, but obviously one needs a bit more context than the first physics lesson to understand what it really means.
I'm a WHO trained anti-obesity counselor and how being fat has become a norm is beyond terrifying for me. Obesity and excess fat can down-grade one's quality of life to the point where just being alive becomes an effort. For example, it directly affects the basics: the breathing, the walking and going to the toilet. And that's the starters on obesity pack. So people, please understand that just breathing is not living. Strive for a disease-free and thriving life. May God bless us all.
Normalized baing fat is like normalize taking small amounts of poison daily and saying "it's new form of beauty". Yeah slowly death is normal
@Joe BT i don't mind about what you're saying to me. But i do agree that caps dude kinda fucked up. I mean wtf he doesn't even speaking about the context
@@ishaaqjosie4409 shut the fuckkkkk up bro you don't even know what you're talking about, first page on google isn't information you're not woke
You had me until the very last sentence 😂
Lol God isn't real. Your statement was ruined by that. "I believe being obese is bad but I believe in an invisible cloud man."
I hope that ricky gervais knows that he is loved and respected for his brilliant humor and the fact that he doesn't bend to political correctness and doesn't give a fuck about people who get offended. Never change ricky
Beautiful debasmita, too good for this world, too pure
Yeah, he knows. :D
I'm dying here man is killing me even after all these years
And that’s my motivation to do extra working out today! 😂
“Can I have a belt extension” hahahahaha
Not too long ago, I actually saw a picture from an ancient temple where the doorway to the dining hall was like 30cm(1ft? Ish?) wide, so if a monk got too fat, he'd actually not fit through the door. Also, if that happened, it'd be his own fault, because having to pull in the belly to squeeze through the door of the only place you get food is a pretty clear warning bell.
He's right when he said losing weight won't necessarily make you more pretty as a lot of plus size people have some of the most cute, stunning faces I've ever seen and sometimes they just don't look the same if they lose too much weight. Some people genuinely just suit a little bit of weight better.
I think they look horrible if they lose so much weight Their face is aged
True. There was a lady at church who I thought had cancer because she lost so much weight and looked gaunt. Some
People do look great with less weight (eg Adele) but in her case she looked sick. Plus the loose skin is off putting
I could listen to him all day.
You can on CZcams.
I admire the honesty. This is a perfect case of “it’s funny because it’s true.”
I used to be in great shape in my 20s and early 30s, thin but toned, 8-pack abs, under 10% body fat.
Now I’m overweight and slightly flabby, with over 25% body fat.
Who do I blame? Myself and no one else. How did I get this way? Eating and drinking the wrong things and not exercising enough. It’s not rocket science!
course you did
papillon thank you! Common sense that’s not a fragile snowflake! Now get back on track and get your 8 pack back and athletic
Andrew Guerra Thanks my man! Been working out 4 times a week and counting calories and nutrients via app for the past 3 months. Trying to get back on track!
I like Dad bods😊
@@andrewguerra9343 why would he want an 8 pack in his 40s? To impress pretentious sluts who only care about money? Let him be who he wants to be.
Rickie’s stand up is funny and not depressing like his tv shows. I hope a DVD is available for this soon.
The Office is hilarious.
"We are just going to Canada"... Almost died with that joke!!!
You can just hear them coming now. I lost it at that point. 😂
"Most people started eating because they have fuck-all to lose." that's pretty bleak man, hilarious, but bleak.
Renzsu and true
Renzsu i saw Americans eating fried butter...
Becca Better than that, fried peanut butter.
LOL
Not really true...
For example, if someone is considered attractive while vulnerable (eg when young), gaining weight could be a subconscious/conscious self-defense mechanism against unwanted predatory attention.
“I fucking love these”
Lost 10kg in about 6 weeks. Did 10 minutes of sit ups and bum exercises then go for a 5 km walk 5 days a week. Cut the coke and chocolate eclairs in the afternoon. 86kg to 76kg
I went into KFC when they had the sliders. There were two people in there with the family sized buckets and a half gallon of Pepsi each.
I'm guessing they just have a 'thyroid issue'.
Psyrecx nah they’re just big boned
Psyrecx it’s slow metabolism and also because the Pepsi was not diet lol
Being dead soon is a thyroid issue
@cooley dumbass they're just sarcastically joking. Cant you see the LoL at the end. Moron
My fat ex friend also said she had thyroid issues
Me: (watching this while eating TWO brownies)
Gonna get stoned?
I had three. I'm not fat. Possibly in denial though.
If it ain't a 55 gallon barrel of fried Chicken then your wasting your time
Haha, I was watching this while eating jelly beans.
just two?
I love when Ricky says to shut up 😂
Absolutely brilliant mate
You can just hear them coming now 😂
im chubby and I still find this funny as hell
mabbuccino? more like mabbuchubby top Ken funny joke hahahaHA lol ceded 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're fa....chubby! Cheers!
mabbuccino Im slim and i think its hilarious. ive never been fat in my life. i dont know how people get fat.
Kevin Russell eating pure junk food. Not exercising. You probably got dem good genetics if you don't understand it.

Man, Spot On!
It's amazing this day in age people need to point out hey 'I'm fat and I find this funny.' Yes that means you have a sense of humor. Way to go.
Ik its annoying
They make others more comfortable. I appreciate it
it’s the same thing in the comment section when a comedian jokes about black people or latinx people.
“I’m Mexican and think this is funny”
They are just trying to gain the acceptance of the not-fat 'normal' people who have the privilege to define what oughts to be funny.
@@Elena-er7zp The fuck is latinx
As someone who is fat, and is trying to lose weight (and succeeding, gone from 124 kilos to 116). I agree with a lot of what Ricky says.
love him
One of the highest quality 240p video I've seen
i was obese, now im not. ricky is a genius. everything he says is true
You mean fat.
IQpied no he meant obese... hence why he said the word obese
Peter Bennett, he actually meant fat bastard, but had to say obese.
IQpied what do you mean he had to say obese you’ve lost me here
Peter Bennett. Did you listen to Ricky?
"should we swap seats? cuz otherwise we'd be going to Canada!" hahahahaha
I couldn't stop laughing thinking bout it 😭
Years ago on a inter island flight in the Caribbean the pilot made people do just that. He came in the cabin before take of & told certain people to change seats, I will never forget it lol.
Ricky absolutely great keep making us laugh..
He’s put it all back on 🤣
Wonderful, sensible, healthy talk... I hope more media streams can be this brave.
British comedy is, undeniably, the best comedy.
Ricky: *is havin a go*
Also Ricky: „I’m not having a go“.
I stumbled onto this video in the morning, didn't want to do my morning workout...guess what, who needs the Rock when you have Ricky motivating you.
Used a calorie counter app for a few months, nearly drove me crazy but I did lose 15-20 pounds.. I don't use it anymore but I am definitely more aware of my portion sizes
Louie Weinberg Solid advice. After a while you intuitively know how much you should eat.
Louis S.W feel happier now than before?
Louis S.W So are you telling us going mentally insane helped you burn off your calories?
"Nearly drove me crazy" may not have been the best choice of words.. That being said having to routinely log and keep track of every calorie I was eating was annoying as fuck.. Kinda like your comment..
Louis S.W Size doesn't matter. I wish it wouldn't and that those interested in fitness would leave be those who are not interested.
9 years later, its finally in my recommended, 2020 squad where you at
Ah, yes. Back when comedians were allowed to be comedians.
i love Ricky ❤️❤️❤️
@8:36 - I knew a guy who actually said that once. At a work Christmas party a rather portly colleague, who I only ever saw stuffing his face with Pizza Hut and KFC, complained that the food in a Greek restaurant "wasn't normal food" and went home early. The dish in question was roast lamb with steamed vegetables. It couldn't be more normal. Unbelievable.
Whats funny is this same exact logic can be used with cigarettes and lung cancer and abusive drinking and liver disease. Literally just change the wording to fit the topics and it's perfect.
***** I agree with the physical addiction, but I disagree that they are much harder to quit. A lot of people eat in excess because of an emotional issue, to me they're one in the same. But I've never been addicted to drinking or smoking, I have lost about 50 pounds in the last 2 years though and it is the hardest thing I've ever done with my life, trust me it was a lot more than "just not eat a bunch of junk food". To me the logic seems the same, glad I'll never have to find out if I'm right or wrong.
I agreed with your physical addiction argument, but it sounds to me like you're describing a meth or crack addict and maybe a very small percentage of heavy drinkers. I don't disagree with the points you're making but I think you're describing a different target than I was.
I agree to a 'degree' however unlike smoking and drinking, the effects of obesity are more visually prominent! Even the NHS said that obesity is the new smoking!! 1 in 5 school kids today in the UK have obesity! These are higher stats than any other child related condition!!
It's just as bad with adults too! It's all down to 3 simple words....choices, behaviours and responsibilities! :(
Eating is a physical addiction as well and can have withdrawal effects just like any other addictive substance. You do get release of dopamine and serotonin with food and just about anything that makes you 'feel good' including drugs, sex, food, and for varying groups many other activities like stealing, killing, adrenaline junkies etc... They are all motivated by the effect of release of the 'positive' neuro-chemicals and their effects on the brain.
***** Great response, and a good finish. Thread is now over! :)
Love this guy
i love how he goes borderline for too long and when you think he's going to stop he, finished way beyond that limit xD lmao
