Just because you're offended, doesn't make you right - Ricky Gervais
& he's said it about 1 million times.
@@Pwwh0711 takes that many times to get through to some idiots
For balance, It also doesn't necessarily always mean what you have said isn't offensive either.
@@Supersleuth42 but what 1 person finds offensive 100 people might find hilarious, you can't cater to everyone, especially nowadays where people get offended quite easily
@@user-jq7di9pz8m amen 🙏
Ricky doesn't offend me, they are jokes. Ricky is the funniest comedian around. His Super nature tour show is amazing and hilarious.
If you watch this and aren't offended then congratulations, you're an adult that's capable of listening to other people's point of view
Did you just assume my maturity?
@@SirHilaryManfat 😂😂😂
You should be a tiny bit offended. I forget who said it, but they were right; comedy should make you a little bit schizophrenic. You should laugh freely, then think, “oh my god, I’m a terrible person”, then laugh some more. If it doesn’t offend some part of you, it won’t be funny. That said, I agree with your comment.
I’m English, I can’t conceive of being offended by a comedian. I laughed or I didn’t.
@@SirHilaryManfat lmao
New subscriber here! Been binge watching your videos all week and it's been great reliving classic British comedy moments through your eyes! Love that you guys enjoy our dark British humour :) love the channel x
Glad you're here Huffy 🍻
"Taken the wrong way...not like the dolphin" was reference to an illustration of a dolphin being penetrated in the blowhole by another dolphin - or "effed in the head" as he also put it. 😁
Ricky is my idol,in my option the best British comedian of all time! ❤️🙌🏻
Just for your information Rob Brydon has done some interviews with Bob Mortimer, Lee Mack and many other comedians you like I thought you might find them Interesting yourselves as they tell a bit more about their lives. I am a 76year old English woman and love your channel you always make me laugh.
First person "I didn't come here to be insulted" Second person "Where do you usually go?" Sums a lot of people up!
Ricky is the best, he never goes to far and never apologises.
I love comedy. Who doesn't love to laugh? It let's you know your alive. I remember going to see a comedian at one of the clubs round our way. And the room was packed, cos he was a well known & very popular comedian. OMG, my face was actually hurting I laughed so much. This lady, who was sitting next to me (she wasn't in my company, but that'd how packed the club was). I swear to god, she didn't even crack a smile! 😳not once. Me & my friends were crying with laughter. I don't know who we laughed harder at. The comedian (who was hilarious btw.) Or her (miserable little effer) 😳🤣🇬🇧
We had someone here in the Uk who went to a comedy show and then phoned the POLICE as she was offended by a joke. But what makes the whole thing worse is that the police went to interview the comedian!!! House gets burgled dont bother. My young daughter was offended by the swing joke, she doesnt have a swing.
It was at a Joe Lycett show in Belfast a few weeks ago. Something involving Donkey 🍆🙃
Joe Lycett
Rickys stand ups in order are Animals,Politics, Science,Fame, Humanity and Super Nature. He has 2 Out of England stand ups to but they are a compilation of his 1st and 2nd show then 3rd and 4th show redone in America. The full show of "Fame" is on CZcams but not sure if reactions are blocked to it. All other full shows are blocked though without filters etc. Only clips allowed
You boys are spot on about comedy, somebody should tell Nish Kumar 😅
Hes not even a comedian in my opinion, he's just filling a quota 🤷🏼♀️
Ricky gervais skit on the world's funniest leaflet HIV 1989 is well worth a look. Best regards from the UK
In the old days, you didn't have to tell people that a comedian tells jokes, they knew they were jokes, and if you didn't like it, you didn't watch, you used the OFF button, people have become so sensitive and humourless, and look for things to be offended by. I have always said that there is nothing that can't be told as a joke.. Look up Dave Allen, you will weep with laughter.
To be perfectly fair, in contrast to the masters of old, so to speak, everybody thinks they can be a comedian these days. So this results in people of subpar intellect, wit and charm telling 'jokes' pissing all different kinds of people off for all different reasons. This inherently raises the floor of what people are willing to tolerate.
However, that is the ultimate fate of all things. Time is the bane of all and change is inevitable.
The truth is, the old days were not so different in this regard either. The kinds of people that got upset or offended at the silliest little shit always have, and always will, exist. The difference is, that we now live in a world where everybody's views are much more public, and much more far-reaching globally/socially/culturally etc.
Add to that, the well-known (just ask anyone who has ever worked in the service industry) fact that people are far more likely to share their opinions when they disapprove/disagree with something, than if they like it.
And finally, add to that the fact that the entire online revenue-earning structure is designed around the concept of getting as many clicks/views as possible, and you have a recipe that is perfectly designed with making sure that the people with the most extreme opinions have the loudest of voices.
This is new, and there are some people who haven't grasped the exact point made in Ricky's joke, that there are things that you would happily say to your mates that you wouldn't say to your grandparents.
All of which combine into the current cycle we are stuck in right now:-
- Someone says something in a public forum without any filter
- Media/Online industry makes sure it gets shared as widely as possible
- Some people get offended
- Media/Online industry makes sure everyone knows that people are offended
- Some people get offended by the fact that some people were offended
- Media/Online industry makes sure everyone knows that people are offended
- First offended people are now offended by the fact that not everyone thinks like them
- Second offended people are now offended by the fact that not everyone thinks like them
- Third group of people are now offended by the fact that some people are not as understanding/empathetic towards others as they are
- Media/Online industry makes sure everyone knows that people are offended
- 1st/2nd/3rd groups all now offended by the fact that others are now offended
- 4th group of people now offended by the fact that so many people get offended these days
And so on.......
How do you stop the cycle?
1) The idea that tends to get pushed out in public most often is that you should stop saying the offensive thing that started it all. And whilst this is definitely an angle where some people definitely need to learn the difference between saying things privately, and saying things publicly, again, as per the entire point of Ricky's joke - know your audience!!
2) The ideal world solution, to realise that there are many people out there with different views and beliefs, and just because you disagree with someone, doesn't necessarily make you right, or them wrong. In a civilised society everyone would just be able to calmly "agree to diagree" and move on with their lives. Probably never going to happen, because there will always be people out there who are so passionate/stubborn about their views that they will never be able to accept that a differing opinion is also valid.
3) The most likely to work, but easier said than done. Stop clicking on the articles that offend you (regardless which of the 4 groups you are in), therefore disincentivising the clickbait ad-revenue structure that has been designed to inadvertently cause so many offended parties.
Again, society hasn't really changed, it's just that social circles these days cast a much wider net than before, so what you say, do, hear and see, will definitely have an affect on/be affected by the types of people you never would have met in "the old days".
In general, knowing what the underlying problems are, rather than focusing on the superficial surface level bullshit, applied with a little common sense, and a smidge of empathy towards others will make a huge difference to everybody's lives, but its definitely not easy to do. But the only way to get there is to take baby-steps, and focus on how you can do better (which lets face it - we all can - if there's a single person out there who doesn't believe they need to be even a little bit better, then they're a shitty person) , without worrying about how other people are worse.
But hey, this is all just my opinion. Happy day to you all.
Social media has made people think their opinion matters. Everyone wants to be seen.
I love Ricky...he never offends me. I understand English humour. He is a genius like Robbin Williams. Thank you
Absolutely right guys don't go to see them if you get offended, love RG, he is so funny
When you’ve listened to all the old XFM shows etc, you’ll realise he worked in a lot of KPs musings into his live stuff.
With all the UK politics going on atm, you NEED to react to The Thick of It. Hilarious tv show that you’ll love
Some of my favourite comedians (such as Peter Cook, Jerry Sadowitz, Frankie Boyle) specialise in crude, brutal humour which is beyond "edgy". What I dislike is humour which reinforces bigotry and appears to do so intentionally.
Limmys my favourite, he just streams on Twitch now cos he didn't enjoy doing the telly and tour stuff, he's in his element on Twitch, and funnier than most comedians who try so much harder. He even makes up improv stories live, some of them are pure comedy gold 😂
I've seen him playing truck driver simulation games, stuff like that, as it leaves more opportunity for banter in the chat, and he'll come out with whole hilarious sub plots about game characters.
Ricky is a real and brilliant person!! 🏴🏴🥰
Ricky is a savage legend and the best of British. You should someday watch extras or after life, if you haven't already that is
I've never been offended by any joke. . . Ever
Ricky, Jimmy, Jim Jeffries are all comedy geniuses
Jimmy Carr maybe, Jeffries starts with his misinformed anti-gun or anti-religion nonsense, when he's on other subjects he is funny.
You see, people that say that and are proud of it are just as annoying as people who say 'I'm offended' as though that wins them some sort of privilege.
You haven't achieved something by not being offended. You don't get to pat yourself on the back.
@@jamesrawlings5781 what's your problem? I never insinuated i'd achieved anything. I'm stating a fact. I don't care if you don't like it, go moan somewhere else
@@simonbeech5421 See, now you sound offended.
@@jamesrawlings5781 I'm not offended. there's nothing you could say to offend me
"Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right." Ricky Gervais
The little girl joke is a classic 90's school joke.
Roy Chubby Brown just got his venues taken away from the Leicester Council due to under 100 signatures. Now I can't stand Chubby Brown, I think he's absolutely shit and his comedy is bottom barrel asscrack, but I'd absolutely never stop someone from enjoying him. It's an absolute disgrace.
Same as here in Morecambe. Cancelled with 59 signatures handed round at a pride march in Lancaster.
@@ladybaybiker absolutely disgusting.
Always want more Ricky
I always prefer coming second.
Do you embrace the suck? 🤔
women and children first?
@@g13n79 🤣
Whenever I see a post saying 'you'll need your tissues for this😒' a lot of brits comment 'well its sad but I'm not gonna w-nk to it'
Us brits have an awesome sense of humour. Only my view though lol
I like to think that the 'couple' he was with at the dinner party was Karl and Suzanne!🤣
Karl would've been about 10 at that time..probably having a conversation with Miss Battersby.
I doubt it, he name drops Karl a few times in his stand up shows, he wouldn't have changed the name to Ian if it was Karl
The is no limits to comedy. The is no race or colour bar to humour. We humans are a fantastic creation of life with a unique ability to smile & laugh, that enriches our short lives on this planet. I utterly refuse to feel awkward or avoid humour that some call offensive. We are built to laugh & love, so just ignore those trying to control you.
Awesome 👌 There is something you guys should add to your list of UK 🇬🇧 comedy shows; The Fast Show was big in the early 00's Very funny!
This man is way above cancel culture n they hate it absolute legend
Yes, people can joke about anything, and like you said, comedy is subjective. So you must understand that you can joke about anything, but that won't protect you from the consequences of anybody you might offend. Having the freedom of speech doesn't stop people from punching you in the face.
Remember, it doesn't cost anything to be nice. Be nice to people as much as you can.
However, also remember it doesn't cost anything to be an asshole either, and wield that power as you see fit.
I would say that anybody who gets offended by jokes are the ones with no pulse because they dead in the head. I have never been offended by a joke, it’s a joke and I have heard the most outrageous jokes out there and laughed at them all. I feel sorry for people who get offended by jokes because they are always the most miserable F’ers you will ever meet, fun vacuums
Guys I dunno if ye have already done it but if ye haven't ye should totally check out Axis of Awesome 4 chords Song. Music & Comedy its brilliant, I think ye would really like it.
Brilliant!
“Tell the SWING joke, not the SLING joke!”
😂🤣
some comedians do go to, chubby brown did a show in bradford in1985 a little while after the fire disaster and his first and only joke was " you lot had a barbeque here last week and you did'nt invite me" as i heard it he needed a police escort out of the place
I'd pay NOT to go to a chubby brown gig, his jokes are unoriginal and all similar, hes just not funny.
It is the people who are offended on other peoples behalf that are the worst
Hilarious man Ricky Gervais
Yep
Ricky is a legend, intelligent and funny,the English George Carlin.
@silverfoxeater they are both comedians, Atheist's and use critical thinking to be funny,so to say 'not in the slightest' is wrong.
But you're entitled to your opinion.
Never once have I been offended by any comedians words. It’s comedy. I wasn’t brought up like that.
Check out Aussie comedian Steve Hughes on being offended. He nails it !
Seconded..
I'm offended that you're offended
Do you have to be so cynical. Eat your lunch 😂
I've been telling them about Steve Hughes for ages to no avail
Yes!
A very underrated comedian!
Its usually understood with offensive jokes that the comedian doesnt actually mean what they are saying and mostly you laugh then have that 'ooooooh, I shouldnt have laughed at that!' moment. But everybody (with common sense) understands this arrangement. If the comedian believes what they are saying and nobody is laughing, well....then you are probably at some sort of rally not a comedy show!
(also my elderly relatives would of laughed their as**s off at that joke...you cant take them anywhere!LOL).
You should react to his stand ups you’ll really enjoy them. Maybe release them in 2-3 parts. Fame is a good one to start with. All the best
They only need to watch one of them, he's been recycling the same jokes for his stand up shows for the past 15 years
Yes it was the North that built the Empire and made Britain Rich, yeah ok we did bring in the Irish to dig the Canals
Just to clarify there are there are some very posh wealthy areas in the north and the Midlands. and there are some very poor rundown areas in the south. If you see a map of Britain portraying the social class of different areas it’s like a very complicated abstract jigsaw Just like it is in the states or anywhere else
😅...Love your reactions to us Brits..We have a self deprecating view of our ourselves and we mean no harm when projecting it on others. 😁❤..If all else fails check into Queen again to represent us..❤. Any Billy Connelly standup vidio will both offend and cause laughs..worth checking out lads..he's another one of our legends..✌😅 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 💕
Guys. You need to react to Jonathan Pie try Bye bye Boris
You should watch extras, its very funny
love your shit guys got any merch?
Hi guys, one for you to look into. 12th July is a big day in the diary of someone of protestant religion. Check craigyhill in Belfast, every year they try to break the world record for biggest bonfire. I think they will do it this year, you will not believe the height and construction of these. Check it out lads.
That's exactly how I got to know whether people are on my wavelength tell jokes increasing in depravity, when they get to oooo na m8 that's bad and you haven't reached the end of my catalogue of jokes, I then know my boundaries if they haven't already deleted me number 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Americans have the greatest sense of humour and do understand Irony; I mean look at the Presidents they elect🤣
Cornwall, the most southerly county in the England is one of, if not the poorest areas in the country.
The rule of comedy is you never punch down: you punch up.
You should watch Ricky Gervais - War 😂
As Ferris Bueller said” You can never go too far”
I think a lot of people mistake dislike for offense. Not liking something is subjective and contextual. Offensive is objective and has substance. Why in the little girl joke would you be offended? Is it your own disgust at finding funny, so you're offended by yourself? Who is being offended by that joke?
And on who's behalf? A fictional armless girl who decided to climb on a swing 🤣
Tim Vine and Bill Bailey are unique and family friendly. Check them out too. Carr, Gervais and more are more for adults and full of sarcasm and edgy. But like you say the audience are fans. In the newest Carr special he warns his audience and asks them if they are ready for 'possible career ending jokes'.
Ricky is a genius. He's such a cringe in The Office, just brilliant in Extras and Afterlife. Ps northern isn't working class, we are more down to earth than our fellow southerners.
I mustn't have a pulse then, maybe growing up with chubby brown and franky boyle i must be immuned to be offended 😂😂😂
Have you looked at Russle Kane? Ricky is different class.
0:35 - I was sad to find out like this about my vampirism.
Please react to the crowd singing along to Robbie Williams...Angel at the "one manchester" concert for the victims of ariana grande concert
I'd love for you to react a documentary named 'don't take me home' by the director Johnny Owen. I'd pay for it if needs be 👍
going to a stand-up comedy show is like eating in a restaurant. you go there, pay for the service and try what they have and the way they prepare the dishes. if you don't like the food that they serve, you won't go there again. but you definitely don't blame the cook for not preparing their food the way you like it from home. so yeah, i don't understand why people complain about comedians. you don't have to watch them if you don't like them.
Rocky Gervace is too funny
My joke:
First World War.
Two soldiers are hidden in a trench on the battle front.
Suddenly, a grenade thrown by the enemy falls into the trench.
A grenade that explodes tears off one soldier's right arm and another soldier's lips from ear to ear, but miraculously does not otherwise seriously wound him.
Moments after the explosion, when both soldiers recover from the shock, the one with the torn arm looks at the other with the torn mouth and says to him:
"You fool, you're laughing here now, but apparently you don't even realize that the explosion could have killed us both"
Can you do a part 2 of the Ricky Gervais show. Need to do the one with Seth Mcfarlane 😂
Bougie means "basic", it's short for bourgeois which is a French word to describe the middle class
I often say "if you're offended, then you've just been manipulated". Don't fall for the bait. Just know that you've crossed paths with an asshole who wants to play you.
Watch the true story of Britains Mad Jack. A Second World War hero who went into battle with a sword and a bagpipe. One of the first commandos.
The North of England is where most of the Heavy industry was based, ie, Coal Mining, Steal works, manufacturing etc. But thanks to many poor Government choices, it is mostly closed down. It is now jobs like Call Centres, Amazon Distribution Centres, low wage jobs.
We SHOULD be allowed to JOKR ABOUT ANYTHING. because it's just that, A JOKE. It's not a threat, not something that can actually effect you, just a joke, you laugh or not doesn't matter, you don't take that serious.
The thing is ppl laugh when the butt of jokes is someone else but ppl get upset when it hits closer to home. That includes almost everyone in my experience. Even ppl who agree with ricky.
This is from he's tour which is on CZcams called Ricky Gervais Chicago tour just over an hour its the funniest stand up ever please please react to it 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Its his Out of England tour made up of the best bits , if you will, of his UK stand up shows he had done over the years. This joke is originally from his "Science" tour
no comedy goes too far. if its funny people will laugh. and this shit is funny
I Think Ricky , Steve and Karl are like the New Derek and Clive. Although they been around forever
Ricky Gervais - War, Racism and Stephen Hawking is very good.
The North to us Is like the deep south to you (stereotypically of course). South posh North working class. The accents run true but intelligence is not defined by how you speak.
He’s talking about dinner with Karl , doesn’t know any other northerners
Try Chubby Brown 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just been cancelled in my home town WOKES AGAIN
We've done two videos of him, and that's all we're doing of him, plus looking through the lense of "wokeness is ruining everything" is gonna make you one sad person......
There are some v working class areas everywhere. Just more money in the South.
Ahhhh I spot the Irish wake video.....u need to watch it. Am gonna keep asking
You can still joke about anything in Northern England, outside of disrespecting the North of England
Ian set him up.🙂
NO because I UNDERSTAND ITS COMEDY.
They’re called jokes for a reason…
He's a writer. He just identifies as a comedian.
@@StephMcAlea yeah I agree! I was speaking generally, not actually a massive fan of RG tbh
"did he take this too far?"
theres no such thing
Long time Ricky fan here, before the internet comes at me.
"The reason I don't like racist jokes, isn't because they're racist, it's because they're not funny" - Ricky Gervais
And I agree with that, and everything in this vid.
But honestly that most recent Netflix special -
The trans stuff wasn't funny. Or true. It failed on both counts for me, personally.
Also a Ricky Gervais fan pre-internet... The "trans stuff" I assume you mean from the new special is brilliant. Very funny. Each to their own!
@@timm7305 I thought it was funny as fuck myself 😆
I thought it was funny, and I've read comments and stuff from actual trans people who weren't offended and found it funny too.
@@Kazza_8240 I’ve been nervous about watching it bc as a trans person the amount of outright hatred from the news and average person is already pretty overwhelming. I like edgy and fucked up jokes but another beloved comedian saying we’re all genuinely fucked up, ugly and insane is really not something I wanna endure if that’s what’s waiting
@@KayosHybrid hes really not joking that way, he says during his bit that he fully supports the trans community, and thinks everyone should be inclusive in 'banter', I think it's because hes making jokes about something no one else would, but I honestly have heard from other trans people that they found it funny. 💛
Nail in the head, its the chip on the shoulder, offense is on them, it's a choice. Very simple
There's no such thing as too far with a joke
To be honest, it's not just the North, there's a huge gap between the South East and everywhere else.
The southeast was richer in the 80s and 90s, but not anymore, south middle areas seem to attract the wealthiest now.
@@freethinker--True, I was just fed up of being lumped in with the "haves", as the West country has been forgotten as well.
Funny it's always called 'the north', even on weather broadcasts, but it's really in the middle, us Scots are North, but we don't count do we?
@@Kazza_8240 I think the Scots are great at maths.
@@davepb5798 lol, nice dad joke 😂
Did they stop doing The Ricky Gervais Show?
They do Ricky Steve Karl related stuff usually on Saturday . They finished Idiot Abroad so should go back to The Ricky Gervais Show since Moaning of Life is blocked on CZcams
Did Spencer get the job? 🤞
Jimmy Carr…is more edgy, and he doesn’t offend…love Ricky, and I’m never offended by any comedian
