"No, that wasn't me. I was in Africa giving AIDS to babies." 😂😂😂😂
Ricky us a f--king beast!! He can make fun of everything without being offensive to those groups.
Guarantee Christians would find that offensive. Not like I care what offends them but it's not true that it's not offensive to them.
@@jameshoffa7085 Yeah I mean it’s a low bar…. DISBELIEF offends them (they get it from their god character, whose version of morals is to light you on fire for eternity for the “crime” of not seeing evidence he exists, the most despicable act someone could possibly commit).
@@jameshoffa7085 And it is true that it's not true that it's not offensive to them. (Sorry- I smoked weed and I'm getting silly)
I was listening to this at work and that bit about African babies made me laugh out loud. I got the side eye from my coworkers. 😂
Isn't the whole point of this type of humour is that it's offensive but funny?

That's not beer.
It’s Red Bull
@@edjavas Fosters . . . . . . . That's Australian for BEER !!
Ya, Fosters! Used to be trendy like 30 years ago. How old is Gervais?
What makes this funnier is that there is a Christian Advertisement on The Video.

How I would love to watch a whole show. Ricky will never get to New Zealand these days and I will be 80 this year and so ill. He has helped me through the death of my husband of 58 years. A lot of what he does is a bit much but I adore him anyway. He works so hard bless him . While I just lie in bed and enjoy. . Thank you.❤️
Stay strong Carol!
You rock! Keep strong
Sorry to hear you're not well and have lost your Husband, Carol. But through the most difficult times, laughter really is the best tonic. It's great to know that comedians like Ricky can tuckle your funny bones and brung a smile. if you've never seen it, can I recommend watching his "After Life" T.V. series...wonderful!
What a great comment thank you
Ricky is a "bit much" the way that last whisky we don't really need is. It still makes the evening better.
Lovely comment; all power to you, Carol.
I'd screw with the insurance companies, blame it on acts of the devil. They don't mention him in their policy.
yeah give him some credit smh.
Good point! 👍
Good point!
"Sorry but, according to the Book of Job, Satan can only act when given permission by God, therefore it still counts."
I'd ask for the list of approved "acts of god"
'...Not me. I was giving AIDS to babies'. Excellent line.
Well, someone has to do it, they're not going to give themselves AIDS.
Some religious people actually believe that everything good comes from God and everything bad from Satan.
So easy seeing the world in black and white, isn't it.
That one enfuriates the believers from all world
they cant handle that one
ahahahahaha
possibly the best atheist line ever..... love it.
He does everything

He’s that good, even the sips of his beer is planned, best comedian alive
Actually I'll agree with this, given his style of comedy an his material, his timing an delivery is absolutely phenomenal probably the best in the business for that category an definitely one of the best comedians put today
I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, go watch Frankie boyle then come back to this, you'll see just how shite it is.
Someone needs to explore Conan O'Brien.
I think Dave Chappelle,Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld would have something to say about that.
@@TheRealFoop that's literally what all comedians do... Do you think these specials are the 1st time they've performed these jokes???
If so you know NOTHING about how comics work..
I feel so lucky that Ricky is living at the same time as me so i can escape into laughter please save free speech for comedians.
🙄
"please save free speech for comedians"
It's not in danger! What are you talking about? Unless it's 1964 and you're Lenny Bruce, your jokes are as free as any speech. Nobody is being censored.
You simply cannot have a Mt. Rushmore of Comedy without Ricky Gervais. He's such a once in a lifetime talent, and to think he started so late in life compared to other comics. Carlin, Pryor, Chappelle, and Gervais are all up there... Seemingly un-usurpable.
Chappelle is good, but not Mt. Rushmore of comedy good. Especially when Rob Williams should be on there with Carlin and Pryor.
Chappelle is one league below.
This man is a legend !
Dude Ricky Gervais is an underated legend its undeniable
I don't think winning two Emmys, three Golden Globes, multiple BAFTAs, many other comedy and writing awards, plus selling out stadium tours, and starring in , writing, and directing several major movies really qualifies as underrated.
@@shia_labeouf I'm just saying when people speak about legendary comics I don't think his name comes up enough
Underrated ????
I have been saying this for a few years now.
There is always always some dumbass saying something totally stupid in each video.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
you win !!¡!!
You're the one for this video LMAO
@@jjelz2742
I think people might be missing your point. The accolades he's received have mainly been for the series he's written, produced, and starred in like The Office and Extras. He's not necessarily appreciated for his standup, which I agree is fantastic. Have you heard his routine about Mother Nature telling various breeds of dogs what their jobs are going to be? It's brilliant.
Underrated? He has more than 100 million. Pretty sure he's getting enough recognition
Burst out laughing at "whose the butt plugs?" Genius!
The bit on Oscar Wilde is brilliant.
Just played it 5 times, it’s hilarious.
Love the phone conversation with God.
This man talks so much sense,but in a comedic way ,
Just making sense is now comedy, welcome to the post-truth age.
Also, the guys a legend
Sorry, but it is just comedy. He does not understand Christianity one bit. What he is talking about is nothing to do with Christianity.
@@wordforever117 Sorry to burst your bubble, but Gervaise is very well known atheist with background in philosophy, and he does understand chirstianity. He might represent his views here in a comedic way (what a surprise) but his critique is totally valid. The christian god according to the scripture is the creator of literally EVERYTHING, he had choices i'm assume, and he chose to create this particular universe, where he knows everything thats going to happen, and gives aids and cancer to babies, and condems good people to ETERNAL FUCKING torture, just because they born in to the wrong religion, while he accepts serial killers and rapists in his heaven just because they ask for forgivness before they die. The whole fucking thing is logical mess, and an obvious fiction. I'm glad that monster doesn't exist.
@@wordforever117 He uses Christianity to make lots of money...so far he is worth 140 million from insulting God and religion. Of course he thinks he is greater than God but he may well be disappointed on the last day. I suspect by the amount of videos he has made about religion that he does actually believe in God and this has progressed his passive aggressive nature due to feeling he cannot be loved by him and still do his job, his ego invested going down this road is too great. He spends his time misguiding the sheep and they are all too happy to be misguided.
@@wordforever117 that's funny everything he says is reality.
I'm so glad i can speak english.
Merci Mr Gervais.
In Spain we´ve got Gila, and in the rest of the world you´ve got ricky... Please take care of him, we need that kind of people.

"Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool."
It's easier to believe in God them to believe in that
That’s logic.
They weren't con men - they simply had little knowledge of the world - they didn't know a lot of things - that is why we get tales of magic miracle. They envisioned an afterlife that was similar to theirs in real life - a King like God sits on his throne in the heavens, Heaven is his Kingdom, Jesus is a prince
And just like the old Kings/Dictators - this King too demands obedience and loyalty(belief) in return for his favors - unless you swear loyalty(belief) to this King, there is no room in Heaven for you
Simple, primitive ideas that made much sense to those living in those days
What is amazing is to see today's highly educated people, living in the 21st century in free societies blindly nod as they are told they must beg & grovel down on their knees to this Putin/Saddam in the Heavens and he will reward them with the easy good life
Such a life is what prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders get down here shamelessly sponging off their rich Sugar Daddies
Amazing how low religion is able to make people go
Faith in Christ is not a philosophy of religion. It’s belief in an historical incident. Do you understand that the life you choose to believe in, the faith you ascribe is a life without ultimate meaning. Why doesn’t he do debates since you all think he’s so smart. Frankly, his excuses are rather lame. To each their own.
@@ramaraksha01, You don’t know that there are miracles happening today?
I love how he is able to drink while doing comedy. It does make one blunt and cruelly ascertive.
Could be an alcoholic free beer ....
Do you mean 'assertive', or 'ascerbic', cos I don't think 'ascertive' is actually a word?!?! 🤔
Btw, I'm just beginning on my journey to become a Pedant, but I think I'm going to enjoy it!! 😃

@@Nilsy1975 thanks for the advice... he actually has a great interest in animal welfare. We have about 250 animals besides horses ;)
Princess Anne and her children are very horsey people. Perhaps approach them for suggestions. Ricky is a generous person with his time - there is only so much to go around.
I LOVE RICKY GERVAIS! He’s genius! I’m crying with laughter 😂😂😂
The way in which he utilizes adult vocabular with child like logic is what makes him a great commdian.
I think Ricky’s humour ironically IS an act of God because he is so fkin funny, he’s heaven to listen to! I love Ricky! 🖤✨
On a tangent. I live in an area where, during periods of drought, the locals actually have official praying for rain events. Eventually, even if it months later, it rains, they give credit to gawd, and claim that this response to their prayers is proof that gawd exists. I'm of the opinion that to claim it as proof there needs to some kind time limit. I mean, it going to rain sooner or later, innit?
Do an event "not praying for rain, just checking the weather report". Keep a score board how often Prayer made it rain and how often the weather made it rain.
Notice that they never blame God for anything bad that happens - floods, accidents, disease etc
What these are are Master/Slave religions - "We must get down on our knees, swear loyalty & obedience to this Master & only this Master, he will be pleased and reward us(Heaven)"
Simple, primitive ideas of God from simple, primitive people living under Kings/Dictators
Think Putin, Saddam - men who demanded absolute loyalty & obedience in return for their favors
And so "Master is perfect, one must not fault the Master, only praise him sky-high
If we find fault with the master, he will be upset and will not reward us"
Amazing that in the 21st century, in the free world, these are the top religions of the day
@@ramaraksha01 it isn’t a matter of blame. How sad atheist understanding is.
@Scott Scotty, haha….wrong…
@Scott Scotty, Asking in prayer is at once the test of three things; simplicity, stupidity and the certainty of God. I pray you find the truth because you’re a lost cause, right now
A proper entertainer and comic
4:27 my 121st zooper dooper. The spider joke was helpful mate, ;op
I’m so glad you are loud and bright
He has inherited the genius comedy mantle from Billy Connolly. The new king is Ricky, arise Sir Ricky.
Connelly is not a patch on Gervais
@@pappy9473 Connolly is the man
@@patrickwebber9654 Connolly is no longer funny, if he ever was, because he is now unable to prance about and jump around, unable to shout and roar, .... Standup comedians like Dylan Moran and Ricky Gervais will continue to maintain their wit and wisdom well into their latter years. Connolly always lacked this talent and like so many went for the lowest common denominator, the lowest hanging fruit, and cheap jibes... Much like T Tiernan and D Bishop and others.
Connolly is ill
@@EthanfromEngland- we all know that, he has Parkinsons.

Love it !!! great comedy
Seeing him again tonight. Can’t wait
Genius. A master at work.
The concreting Iceland and making it a car park joke and the elephant man one was both things Karl Pilkington originally said, man I miss him 🥺
The punchline is so brilliant because you don't see it coming, and it casually destroys an entire religion.
Hi Butch. Can I ask: If God doesn't exsist, why do some Atheists feel the need to mock a non-existent Being, as well as blame Him for the bad stuff that happens (like natural disasters)? If He doesn't exsist then He can't be to blame, right? Just curious as to why some Atheists do this. P.S a lot of Theologians, historians, and scientists with P.H.D's would disagree and say that God does exsist, due to extra Biblical testimony from numerous 1st Century non-Christian historians (Josephus, Tacitus, Thalleus, Pliny the Younger), archaeological discoveries, moral, theological, and philosophical arguments for the existence of God (such as the Ontological argument or the Cosmological argument). God is not the invention of ancient, ignorant man, an outdated religious concept, a localised deity, a 'sky daddy' or a 'flying spaghetti monster' (as Atheists erroneously believe Him to be, a myth, a fabrication, or a legend of antiquity): Rather, God is the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Self-Existent Creator, sustainer and Judge of the entire universe, as the Bible describes Him to be. Just sayin'.
He didn’t destroy an entire religion, he made a joke calm down.
@@enterthebruce91 the joke shows the absurdity of the God claim, especially the all-loving all-powerful God who is in control of everything but still has time to give AIDS to babies and cancer to children. Or perhaps he just chooses not to stop them getting it, because reasons.
@@capitalb5889 We live in a fallen world, God has His reasons but one day will put a stop to all evil and suffering. God has given man the free will capacity to make good and bad choices. God is not to blame; so there's nothing absurd about acknowledging an Omnipotent Creator God's existence. God doesn't control every miniscule aspect of human behaviour like some kind of cosmic puppet master. The presence or existence of evil doesn't negate the exsistence of an Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent eternally Self-Existent God. I just find it strange how Atheists blame a non-exsistent God for all the evil in the world, it's a logical fallacy to blame someone Atheists claim doesn't exsist. Why not just blame random evolutionary mutations for all of the world's problems, considering that's the Atheist worldview as to how life came to be? Blame nature, evolution, and random chance-not God.
@@enterthebruce91 atheists do not blame god for the world's ills - we are fully aware that that the world is just random. If your kid gets cancer, it's just bad luck. Even cancer doesn't have a will. It just does what it does. The blaming god just holds up the reality is that life looks just like there being no god at all. But if there was a masterplan with an all powerful being who allows children to get cancer, he sounds a bit negligent.
To clarify, atheists do not believe in God so do not blame a non-existent being for crimes which he could not possibly have committed. Of course, if he did exist, he sounds like a monster, but luckily he doesn't.
What an awesome stage set … mad scientist meets cranky office manager.

Since there were exactly 665 comments here, I decided to fix that by adding just one more. This one is not an act of God but of his old friend downstairs.
"Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!”
then if he doesn't stop it, It means either 1, he doesn't care or 2, Him downstairs is more powerful than God and couldn't be stopped
