- Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant make a funny acceptance speech at the 2003 British Comedy Awards ceremony. Their politically incorrect speech includes teasing their producer who uses a wheelchair and compares him to Steven Hawkings.

Best acceptance speech ever. He has a way of being humble even though he's being arrogant. It's like false arrogance.
PULLING A HOMER: Succeeding in a Failing Attempt (Coined by Homer J. Simpson)
*FALSE ARROGANCE: An act Ricky Gervais alone is capable of.
....*👍Luv That!
Spike Milligan's lifetime award speech is my choice for best.
It's arrogance and everyone is having fun with it. Super fun.
It's called sarcasm lol

I found it funny that Noel Gallagher was standing right behind them like they were at a bar.
Nah mate. He was there ready to pickpocket 🤣
What?
I wondered why he decided to stand there where as the two tv personalities stood to the side knowing they’d be on camera... But then realised it’s probably because he didn’t give a fuck
The dude is royalty and can stand where he wants!
Meanwhile his brother Liam is punching in the air.
Ricky looks like a dwarf next to Steve
Everybody does

not if you are normally sized 😊
goggle eyed freak
I agree. Without a frame of reference, Stephen looks to be average sized and Ricky appears tiny.
gervais humor wearing so thin
humiliated in usa over his grouchy humor
bye bye
You know you're funny when Noel Gallagher laughs sincerely
You can't even hear Liam heckling from the audience
@@Francklyynnnn wtf was Jonathan Ross dressed up as?
@@TonyEnglandUK Jonathan Ross is bat shit mate didn't you know.

The massive height difference between Steve and everyone else always makes me laugh
You can almost hear people he walks past saying, “oy, lanky.”
That mic needed to come up!

I can't believe you've done him again!!!!
"Especially when you are standing beside something that smaller than normal(Ricky)." - Karl Pilkington
When Gervais says "Now seriously", you know that what will follow will be anything but serious.
Just to clarify for all the commenters who say "Brits do't give a shit!" "he can say what he wants!". Not a word of this is ill considered. He mocks ignorance, we all laugh at ignorance. And that's what the Americans might not understand. It's an incredibly pointed, intelligent and progressive way of joking. It's never been a case of us "STILL being able to get away with it".
exactly!
+cx1735 best explanation of this type of British humour i've ever heard...spot on
+cx1735 Exactly, right on the button.
please the producer even laughing. because he know the jokes -_-

I love British humor. They never take themselves too seriously. Here in the States, every person thinks they are the next great speaker of the century. Sadly, most of them can’t speak but, there you go.
john piper I’ve seen them and agree, the humor is next level!
john piper I majored in Eng Lit and Education. Minor in theatre. Many Americans do not appreciate satire, I find it hysterical. We tend to take ourselves entirely too seriously on this side of the pond. As is evident by current events.
john piper I was and am still a huge Benny Hill fan! I was a grade school student laughing at his antics. I think it’s something intrinsic. You either have it or you do not.
john piper I will definitely look him up. I’m always good for a laugh. My best to you and yours. We should have been cleared of this virus but, it’s an election year. They’ll milk it for another 8 weeks at least. 🤦♀️
Exactly. Elton John said it the other day too. Nothing is sacred in the UK. There would never have been an Elvis or MJ in the UK; they don't let you get too big.
british humour = brilliance
Not really...not as funny as Australian...not the same league.
Jason Eaton Yes really. Australian doesn't come anywhere near the Brits. Nothing does
They're a bit snooty and conceited...watch any brit stand up, and then watch Carl Barron, or Steve Hughes, or Jim Jefferies 😊
Yeah...
Jim Jefferies is shit
i'm australian and i think carl baron and steve hughes are about as funny as childhood cancer
The way he uses arrogance as sarcasm to make fun of all the entitled a**holes is brilliant. One of my fav comedians, highly intelligent
If you think about it , what Ricky's done is make the guy laugh with him- there's no ill will- that's why the guy in the wheelchair appreciates it. I bet it gets frustrating with people walking on eggshells around you and treat you like a delicate flower just cause you have a disability. Nothing a like a bit of banter to show you treat some one as a just a regular person.
Karan They're also pretty good friends.
Karan That’s Ash he’s a producer & friend of Ricky. He was a big cog in the Office wheels. He’s also now a major player on People Just Do Nothing
You got it right !
He's bantering with everyone, wanting everyone to laugh, making people (in a positive way) laugh at themselves. That's real equality.
Karan Haha, it’s not just some random disabled guy Ricky’s started joking about, the colleges and good mates too.
Love Noel's reaction to the crack about the 'producer's input'.
Still funny ten years after your comment 🤣
Probably the best acceptance speech I've ever seen and the crowd is fantastic as well. Thank fuck for people who understand irony.
Steven always rolls with it....damn good bloke and brilliant comedic mind. Ricky isn't bad either!
I love how Noel is just standing there smiling and drinking away lol
I love Noel's reaction to the producers gag.
Gervais never fails to deliver. An open ended mind and vision of comedy that will hopefully never end.
This underrated comment is so relevant still 11 years on‼️My thoughts on Ricky exactly‼️
Merchant too
Stephen Hawking was not happy about this... It left him speechless :)
He's just jealous of Ricky's skill as a stand-up :)
Jonathan Charles Then again Ricky has a theory on EVERYTHING.
Ellis01234567890 No you´r wrong. Hawking laughed so hard they had to roll him out. :)
That was mean.. but a little funny..
I'm not a fan of Hawking. It's not anything he said it's just the way he said it.
Ricky makes me happy ,every time like right now. feeling crappy and just thought right i need some Ricky. A true gift this man is.
Wth is Jonathon Ross wearing?! He looks like a Dracula!
+Amisal That'd be a high collar Victorian shirt. I would've said Jack the Ripper, but yeah.

Ricky Gervais a legendary, iconic and funny genius.
2:09 He HAS to speak for Steven, the man's about 3 feet from the mic.
Omg back when time stamps didn’t exist 😂😂😂
Damn didn't realise how old this comment was
2:09 for those that can’t remember how to scrub
Seeing Noel there put a sincere warm smile on my face, absolute legend
The guy is a fucking complete tool.
This is an interesting moment captured here. These guys were not only huge in England but every-fucking-where. They changed the state of television. They raised the bar. And Ricky was fresh out of the box. I love this shit.
Material, charisma, timing. Genius. If you don't get Ricky by now, you never will. Watch a tv show like 'when the whistle blows' and laugh your simple mind off.
Are you avin’ a laugh?
I love how that guy in the wheel chair doesn't get offended and has a great sense of humour.
Imagine what people would say if he had done this is 2021 😂
They would say nothing, why do you think they would?
@@mdaniels6311 They'd literally crap their pants and demand the person be cancelled.
The guy in the wheelchair is the producer of "The Office" Ash Atalla - So he knows Ricky very well so him making fun of him is part of their relationship.
@@fredturpentine6651 they would in fairness there's plenty of people who would latch on to it just so they can go tweet about how deeply upset they are about offending people with disabilities
Funny...very funny. Ricky is the best... smart and quick witted... and not afraid to speak his mind... I truly admire his genius and personal integrity !
@v2shan i think i dont care about grammar in youtube comments bro
oh shit it's the one and only tommy. didn't expect to find you from 8 years ago. can I get a free hoodie?
See I'm not being funny but if Americans were in that audience they would be like "no he can't say that" and get offended as they did when Ricky hosted the golden globes but Brits don't give a shit haha love it!
On the contrary, Americans like his sense of humour because he's so risque. Most of the celebrities didn't get offended at all, a lot of them even knew beforehand they were going to be the butt of his jokes at the Globes because he told them and he's friends with most of them, people still think that Steve Carell and Johnny Depp were annoyed with Ricky, but they're all good mates.
stoatythesecond888 I wasn't only talking about the celebrities
oh yes, they were so offended with him at the golden globes that they had him do it 3 years in a row....
Kevin Ducharme Yeh to get viewers and make the front page on news papers and headline in the news because of how offensive he was giving the golden globes a lot of recognition, not cause it wasn't offensive
+Kevin Ducharme 3 years in a row, you sure mate? I thought he done it twice, but apparently he's going to do the next one aswell!
“We are on a proper channel now...!”I can’t stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4 years later, any progress with that stopping laughing thing yet?
Noel laughing cos he can relate to Ricky for being the writer and mastermind behind his art too.
It was actually Merchant then though
At the end there merchant seemed genuinely pissed.
There so comical together even just standing there.
That was wheely funny!
+karlunderscore1 That works as a Jonathan Ross joke too, nice one
+Nick Shomos 😂😂😂😂
"He had his little nose put out of joint." It's an expression that pretty much means when someone is upset or in a bad mood because they have been offended or ignored.
Thanks for the explanation, I thought it was some sort of cocaine joke I didn't get.
Jess Ica thanks your a mate :)
@Useless Idiot She didn't explain the joke, she explained the expression "nose out of joint".
@@hamnchee Well, he/she didn't thank her for the joke but for the explanation which helped him with his/her confusion with the joke. You just assumed otherwise. So maybe you should start calling youraelf an idiot. Others already do, idiot.
Literally the sheer difference between this and the golden globes is astounding. At the golden globes. a lot of feigned smiles, forced laughter, In great Britain, genuine, don't give a shit, humour and laughter. Love it.
I love how British comedy is like one massive family.
Well, we all live next to each other, don't we?
@@schubertuk we certainly do Alex, we could be family.
Probably one of my absolute favourite acceptance speeches Ricky has ever delivered...British humour at its finest
@john piper czcams.com/video/huayAma6y0Y/video.html This one?
It's an overused cliche these days but in Ricky's case it's true...
Hes a pure savage!
Stephen Merchant looking like a scaffold pole in the background 🤣
This was just great; Gervais at his best before people started hating on him for no apparant reason. The way he has the whole room (of industry insiders) just with a semi-prepared awards speech is surely the mark of true talent
12 years ago you commented? I forgot that youtube has been around for a while now. Hope you're well.

RIP.
Amazing that the hating on Gervais already started 14 years ago. Thought that was a more recent thing haha.
I miss these days, no one is offended just all having a laugh together! Imagine what Twitter would be like after watching this. Everyone here would be cancelled. Hate how everyone is offended at everything now.❄️❄️
I find that remark highly offensive...
Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful wonderwall
The funniest thing I've ever seen so far
Also Martin is such a smoll bean
"usually hes the best one in the room" awesome
0:52 Noel's reaction to Steve/Ricky's joke lol.
a very, very beloved podcast indeed. Teeaaase it...
You can see genuine resentment on Stephen’s face at the end.
He's done you again Steve!

Ricky your a legend... That`s comedy gold. I was crying with laughter watching this. Brilliant

Now that is a hell of an acceptance speech. Seriously, top marks.
Love Rick Astley pottering about in the back ground.
2004....how time flies
that is such a laughter track!
SEE WILL SMITH?!?!? THIS IS HOW YOU TAKE JOKES
In the US, the pc crowd would've gotten offended by this. I'm glad we can still do stuff like this in Europe 😂🙏
This I why I watch British television.
+Mickey Holm it's also from 2009.. can't remember the whole PC thing be so crazy back then
+LE0NSKA 2004
***** Agreed, there are a few cool ones who can take it -but too many can't sadly :/
I mean, at this years Globes, it was insane how much they were offended by Ricky's jokes :o
+Mickey Holm watching too much south park
Great Video! Love it!
Remember when irony and satire was a thing and not every single thing was taken literally? Man.. I miss this era of comedy.
Who's here after Ricky decimated Hollywood in the 2020 golden globes?
TruthHurts 18
Lol look at how happy he is!
Script was approved by same people you think he decimated... hahaha
@@beniteztheconman I'm well aware the script was approved. But any time a guy wants to stand up in a room full of elitists and pedos and call them elitist pedos to their face, I'm happy
Also don't you find it weird that you went out of your way to defend friends of Jeff Epstein and Harvey Weinstein?
@@truthhurts1884 he didnt call anyone anything. No one in the room was even vaguely shocked or offended. It was all so tame and approved.... just meant to appease peasants like you.
@@beniteztheconman either way I enjoyed it. Seems you're a little butt hurt about the whole scenario, did it hurt your sensitive feelings?
Ricky is the best in Improvisation. I have never seen anybody like that.
despite all the other laughs around the room i was still able to distinctly hear Jimmy Carr...
I'm paralyzed from L1-L2 down & I approved this message :)
Epic, true, balls out laughter .... true British way of dealing with life.
Put your balls away mate no one wants to see that.
I wish these two were still mates and working together. RG is best when the Smerch has input 😆👍🏻
Maybe Ricky shouldn't have turned into a complete twat.
@@minners71 How exactly has he turned into a complete twat? he's a quality human being, hilarious to boot, and his recent show afterlife, was really good, extremely poignant, and touched the hearts of many who deal or have dealt, with loss, and he promotes animal welfare etc.
So if THAT'S being a complete twat, then what are you? but I'll indulge you though.
One area where I think ricky can come off as a "complete twat" is him saying these days, "when I wrote the office and extras" rather than saying "when I and steve merchant wrote the office and extras". The revisionist history and not crediting Steve rubs me the wrong way a bit when I see him in recent interviews, but that's it.
@@minners71 Play a record mate.
Apparently they’re still friends xox
I love how relaxed the Brits are with their humor. Americans are so friggin' sensitive. God bless Ricky Gervais.
I think Steve has a lot of respect for Ricky and they work well together. It's awesome so lucky they met and produced shows like the office and extras!
Wish they'd get back together....
can't ever see it happening unfortunately @@jpa_fasty3997
When he says he doesn’t care he doesn’t 😂😂😂😂 the guys a genius 😂😂😂
Comedic genius and gold. Wow.
Why can’t we have this humour any more😂
people are too scared to just one second to say the wrong thing then back down flipping burgers...for this industry not many take the risk...except R.G.
Cos of cancel culture
“10 years ago” mark makes me really anxious
10 years ago the posting 17 years ago the awards, that is scariest
Thats a great way to thank everyone
He’s like Mary Poppins , he gives you your medicine with a spoonful of sugar. 😎
That was very good but the funniest thing here was that Jonathon Ross suit
Ricky can't not be funny he's the funniest sharpest guy in Show business
Class act that one. Love me some ricky
He is best uk act in 2022. Love for his dark humor in such a censored world nowadays
Brilliant! Ricky would be cancelled for this today, even thought Ash (their friend in the wheelchair) was in on the joke!
you know it’s old because people are smoking in the crowd
Nah, if the women had beards, it could also take place 2020 in Greece.
@@dodekaedius what
Love Ricky and Stephen, AWSOME!!!
2004.... Jesus. I left school in 2003. How has that time gone by so quickly? Oh yeah, love this British comedy. 😂😊
Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest humans on the planet.
I don't particularly like Ricky Gervais but this was such a great example of why I despise every single phony prick who tries to ban and censor certain types of comedy, and all those who pretend to be offended on other peoples behalfs.
The only thing banning certain groups from being joked about and not allowing them to be the material for comedy does is separate those people even further and turns it into "them and us". To achieve true equality and end segregation you have to completely abolish all boundaries and allow every person to be included in micky taking as well as praising. If a joke is done well(or the intention is coming from a good place) then there should be no such thing as "this is not allowed".
Every person in that room understood the context and found it funny, no more so than the guy in the wheelchair. I hate how society often overlooks intent and context and focuses only on content.
The spastic was well happy.
1:07 oh my god, Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt
*fantasizes back to 2004 when Greenwing was on Channel 4*
Does anyone know what the music playing as they make their way to the stage is called? It's an instrumental for a song I recognise but don't know its name.
The golden globes would be a massive bore of a show without R G. He's a master of his craft.

Yeah, your god is a damn ripe has been, mate. Not made a good album since 1997. 23 straight years of mediocrity. One truly underachieving god if you ask me.
Club Astro Transcendental Motor in those 23 years of mediocrity he’s had numerous number 1 albums and a highly successful solo career. Mediocrity my ass
TheRealTrevo Albums nobody will remember. Fucking Justin Bieber has had number 1 albums, mate. Means nothing that. Anyone these days can get a number 1 album. Nobody buys albums. 50 blokes stuck in 1995 buy it, number 1. I like Noel in interviews.
Club Astro Transcendental Motor you’re waffling mate. Number 1 means nothing, sure - but it’s the case of if you have a number 1 with your integrity still in tact. And Noel has kept his, miraculously
These two need a movie
Love Rick he's awesome
Love Noel Gallaghers reaction a 0:51
