      FYI this saying has been dated back to at least the 1930s
      For additional context, Wagner is credited as being the pioneer for conductors who face away from the crowd. Before Wagner, most conductors did, in fact, face the crowd, at least at an angle. Wagner died in the 1880s, and the saying seems to imply that it is necessary for conductors to face away from the crowd, suggesting that the quote probably originated sometime after Wagner's influence was solidified and somewhat forgotten. So the saying probably doesn't originate much earlier than the 1930s.

    If Hollywood hates you, it's a HUGE badge of honor. Ricky is a very talented comedian. He is one of very few stand-up comics that I would go out of my way to watch. He's both hilarious and honest. He doesn't participate in celebrity worship, so he doesn't pander to them. He calls them on their bulls hit & it a beautiful thing. He is a national treasure that every Brit should be proud of.

      Is Velma really that edgy though? I just watched the 2 first episodes before I couldn't take it anymore so maybe something happens. But for me it felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy and got all the way back around to feeling safe and predictable. Harley Quinn actually manages to be edgy yet you can tell they are trying to tell a story first and the edgy comedy comes from how absurd the stories can get.

    We all make mistake, we all say and do not nice things, and they are no different. Why should them be treated like if they are different, better than anyone else?
    Him mocking them like we all do between us, laughin at our weaknesses and mistakes, was a perfect way to level things up, to remind them and us that we are all part of the same species and we are all the same, no matter how much money and fame you might have. And, most importantly, we all have the same responsabilities towards society and our planet.

      You're right. There is a feeling of self importance in Hollywood. It leads people to think that they are justified to punch someone in the face at an Oscar ceremony for a mild joke and the rest of the audience to give him standing ovations for it, when most of those actors have made their careers on dressing up in spandex and playing a cgi filled super hero that requires little skills.

There's a character he put in just so he could rant about things (people talking about dreams, religion, whether ghosts exist) and he always writers her as an idiot to make him seem like the one that always has the "correct" opinion.
      Yeah, dreams can never be funny to talk about - makes ricky gervais seem like a dull grumpy ass if he's never had a funny dream or heard a funny dream. As for religion, I would agree it's all nonsense but he doesn't need to bring it up all the damn time in his shows, it's a boring overdone topic - religion is dumb we get it. As for whether ghosts exist, he's being willfully ignorant and acting like he knows all that can exist in the world. Ghosts are not some dead person stuck in a place (they would go nuts and there is no evidence to support that) it is a very real phenomena that people don't understand, people don't know what they are. I'd rather not believe in this phenomena as it is very problematic indeed if a house becomes haunted, and there is a large variety in the type of "ghosts" one can have with different levels of severity. But of course she didn't say any of that, she just shuts up when he says his weak uninformed opinion.

      You have this wrong. Its Ricky Gervais...and he is not just saying he don't care about what people think, he is saying he doesn't care period. You are a person and you like Hollywood is paying him and making him rich. Do you seriously think that Ricky Gervais the COMEDIAN is telling the truth? Look at what he said about Steve Carell and Tim Allen. Ricky is a arrogant uncaring hypocrite and you are one of the f*ck's who is caring about someone who is lying claiming not to care about you and the people who are making him millions.
      You are like the Christians who made Kenneth Copeland rich and vote for Donald Trump, having no clue that you are supporting the very opposite of what it is you think you are supporting.

Narcissists lack all these things. Anyone who mirrors back to a narcissists a bad image of themselves or who make them feel inadequate are devalued(they look for your flaws or make them up) and are hated.

      No? I don't respect anyone who uses their platform to punch down on minorities when they've got actual real targets. Everyone cheers his Golden Globe speech but when was the last time he went after them? All he does now is pick on minorities. That doesn't deserve respect.

    The best way I could describe Ricky is that he's the closest thing modern comedy has to a Court Jester.
    Part of their role involved bringing news to the king that no one else could/would because they'd likely lose their head if the tried.

    Ricky Gervais is adored and admired by all comedians. That’s all he cares about. He doesn’t care about what you think or the press or movie stars. He’s happy content and doing what he loves. It doesn’t get much better than that.

    The first time I saw Ricky Gervais was when he played with Ben Stiller on Might At the Museum. I didn't know who he was and I didn't care. Then when I saw him doing comedy I thought he was super cool. But my favorite was when he was on the golden globes and right of the bat he told everyone pick up your awards, give a quick thank you then get off the stage. He told Hollywood they were nobodies and I fell in love with his comedy. He is freakin Awesome.

    Than you. This says exactly what I think about Ricky: he's not a follower, he's not a leader, he's just someone honest that speaks the truth that most of us are afraid say due to society constraints. Be yourself, Ricky, and maybe by watching you we'll learn something too.

    His sitcoms, namely The Office, Extras and Afterlife, will sit with me forever, the writing was something I could relate to and genuinely genius all at once.
    He stands with the Hollywood elite and says what we all think, that is rare and will likely never be seen again imo, he has never changed.

    I’m so with Gervais when he talks about awkwardness only being funny when it’s himself. There’s just something so painful for me in watching someone else bomb. It’s almost like watching an elderly person or a child being kicked repeatedly by an angry mob.
    Like the stage is one of the most comfortable places for me. I can do my thing and everyone else has to shut up, and that’s just kinda awesome to me. I’ve bombed numerous times, and it definitely hurts a lot to bomb, but the more it happens, the more you get used to it. But then you see other people go through that, especially people new to it, and you have no idea how much it might be hurting and affecting them. So you really just want to yell at that audience for shaming that person when all they were doing was trying their best to entertain.
    I’d rather just switch places with the person and take the brunt of the shaming. Public humiliation, especially when it’s a new experience, is devastating.
    On the other hand, tho. Most people will never be able to get through bombing without experiencing it multiple times.
