“How often do planes crash?” “Just once”
I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but that sentence is grammatically incorrect. What you want to say is "How often does a plane crash?" Because planes (plural) crash all the time (well not all the time but certainly there has been more than 1 plane crash in history).
Mary Barr no it’s correct. Planes only crash once. I’ve never heard of planes crashing more than once (and if so, it wasn’t a real crash).
Mary Barr Take your head out from the textbook and actually learn English that makes sense.
@@KB-qo2fi Nope. I'm right, you're wrong deal with it. Sorry!
@@karlandjeff It really isn't though...
The whistle is there for you to perform “always look on the bright side of life”
hahaha
classic X)
or my heart will go on. Not quite a penny whistle but good enough.
Gold!
It's there to keep you distracted and you will have something to do.
Plane: crashes in iran
RUclips: hey, wanna see this joke?
Came to the comments just for this comment.

Fuck you my uncle died in that crash you pig
The brace position was designed to keep your head and teeth intact so they can more easily identify your remains.
Wtf cares after you die🤷
@@poetryofcinema6957 your family i guess
urban legend, it's not true.
It means you die quickly cause you crash straight into your head
Your meant to kiss your ass goodbye when you stick your head down
The delivery with that whistle...
"Of course you haven't!." LMAO😂...the greatest mass insult... love Ricky gervais.
He’s so comfortable on stage.
Well he is hardly gonna wear clothes that don’t fit correctly!
Gervais: You can’t land a plane on water
Sully: *ehem*
DEUS EX - mans was just trying to make a joke...
Also never listen to a guy who starts a sentence with "Twas".
DEUS EX - All good no stress
@DEUS EX I realize you were just joking, and it's all good.
But now I have a question: even if the problem occurred at 500 mph, can't any plane just stay in the air with no engine thrust, gradually losing speed and altitude until they're down as low as the speed of the Sully event?
Bryan Liguori No
I'm sure Netflix wouldn't promote the other things Ricky said in this stand up. Worth watching aha
Is this a new stand-up special?
@@thekub32 no. Humanity, came out last year
@@Shydore-Official Oh yeah. I remember seeing it.
@@Shydore-Official Just don't remember it that good I guess lmao.
@@thekub32 It wasn't as memorable to me as his other ones, for sure
Ricky is keeping my depression at bay. My heart feels peaceful. God bless his comedy. God bless him.
You do know that he's a staunch atheist? Love when he bashes religions for the fairy tales they truly are!
@@TheRugby23 👍 that made me laugh
@Kathy Reidy to a religious person, an atheist is just a brother or sister who says Father doesn't exist cause they haven't seen him.
We don't see it as a big deal that you delight in your lack of belief, and when you are funny about it (like Ricky is), it's awesome.
So yes, God bless you all.
@@devstuff2576 Muslim don't think like this.
@@TheRugby23 Deeply sad/desperate comment.
My brother crashed a British Airways B777 and he is fine. He has promised not to do it again.
Mark Magenis when you say crashed, was that on purpose?
@@Akkul No, the engines cut out as they were approaching the runway.
Is he fine because he had a whistle?
@@carador9286 Nah he did the brace position, everyone else died.
The Strexil yes he was i. one of the 9/11 planes? Why would anyone crash on purpose
Honestly just the thought of how much space there would be between my feet and the ocean floor would be enough for me to die of a panic attack if I ever got out of a sinking plane with just a lifejacket...
ha, I get that too. It's like an illogical fear of heights isn't it?
Literally the same space between the plane and the ocean surface before you crashed
@@daslynnter9841 Average ocean depth is 12,000ft. Average airplane cruising altitude is 30,000ft. So not _literally_ the same, unless by "literally" you mean, "I'm one of those Millennials who can't understand my own first language".
nagualdesign
what?
@DillyDyson007 lmao yall are the funniest. Can boomers stop being overly dramatic for 2 seconds? language adapts and changes, quit crying about it jeez
I got upgraded to first row once and everything about this is true. It almost got annoying how many times they'd ask if we needed anything
Silent Human ”Thank you sir. Is your whistle in order though?”
I don't get priority boarding. You just sit there for an extra 30 minutes watching people block eachother in the hallway and clumsily stuffing their luggage in the overhead bins while you could've been out at the gate stretching your legs - you're about to sit there for hours, anyway. Unless you're flying with Ryanair and don't have assigned seats (but fuck that).
@@killz4money cuz standing around in line for 30 minutes, hoping ull have space for overhead luggage is so much better
@@scorpionz44 that's why you keep sitting until the line is short :)
This. I was put to business class and holy fucking shit. I only wanted to sit down and not talk to anybody and these cabin crew kept offering me food, wet towel and shit and I was like just leave me the fuck alone, I'm on my headphones here and I grew up poor, an introvert and unfamiliar with a simple luxury like this.
I do like Ricky. Still think he’s at his best when with Steven.
What, about when he is with Carl karl Pilkington?
Is this Smerch?
Just say, he is bad at stand up, that works too.
@@missionpupa but he's not, some of his shows have been a bit hit and miss but Humanity (this one) was great
Or hosting the golden globes. That shit was legendary
Title should be "flying with Ricky - don't expect to survive"
I wish when he said about water one that he said he respected sully for the save he did
Everyone is talking about his whistle but none is appreciating his helicopter impersonation
The guy from Police Academy did it better.
we dont know what its like riding one
Had to listen to this over and over!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Safety regulators: "And the life preservers should have whistles."
Everyone: "That does nothing."
Regulators: "Yeah but we're heroes now"
@1878EFC2008 its well known that mid drowning it is impossible to scream for help, thats why we gave you a whistle........
I assumed the whistle was for keeping track of other survivors.
"I'm using this voice, so don't worry bout it, right"
I cracked on that joke, man is hilarious. 🤣
I'm not surprised if in daily life he often laughs at someone just doing their thing which he thinks kinda silly 🤣
I need a Masterclass on whistling from him
Anyone else binge-watching Ricky Gervais videos after his golden globes 2020 speech? lol
no because we knew he existed :D
No way. He disgusts me. Always has.
@@johnkuipers7829 then why are you here?
@@johnkuipers7829 triggered vegan liberal
Boo gervais is a liberal snowflake
The whistle one never gets old!!!
Just watched this special, absolutely hilarious
Cosmo Bawler where can I watch it ? Thnx✌🏽
@@julietteSoul netflix
@@julietteSoul this was literally uploaded by Netflix lol
The last 30 minutes were not that great
Great Comedian. I Love him so much
I love watching stuff like this 2 days before flying. Never fails to ease my already non existent nerves 😎
Brilliant peace.
Now I know why he used a very simple, monotone and impunity whistle and not the standard looong one you would think of off the bat.
He sculpted it in a way to use later with the heli sound. The simplicity and monotone*ality to make it resonate better later so you would remember it.
Oh god now I’m in stitches my belly’s aching with laughter... thanks for this... was a real treat
The brace position reduces flailing by having a forward-facing occupant lean over their legs and it reduces secondary-impact injuries by pre-positioning the body against a surface that can be struck. This reduces the momentum of the head and other parts of the body. Also, they usually won't tell you to brace if you strike a mountain at 500mph.
Appreciate that info
I watched a safety video on an Air New Zealand flight and laughed in the middle of it. Hilarious.
They're stupidest fucking things right?
Even worse to work on them.
No, the Air NZ flights are genuinely funny -- they're meant to be; they make a thing out of it. Very clever
@@RenegadeFighter Most of the ones I've seen have been good.
Personally I can't stand them, and I live in NZ.
@@DoubleMonoLR They are all quite different. It'd be weird to think that of all of them.
Watching Ricky's standups while high can send you in laughing fits. 😂
I absolutely love this one!!! Cheers, Swiss travel agent
I absolutely loved this
I get a very Carlin vibe from this routine. Nothing wrong with that
Interestingly enough I got the Dave Allen routine from it. They were both active in similar time frames.
Billy Connolly myself. I guess showbiz peeps fly a lot.
@@MeLeTroll floating around the north Atlantic clinging to a pillow full of bear farts
This is a rip off from Dave Allen
@@MeLeTroll Just read your reply after i posted my previous comment. You're spot on mate.
honestly id say i get offended REALLT easily but i dont get why people get offended by this man. hes always funny and seems supportive of those underpriviledged, he just cracks jokes at everyone
Thank you Netflix UK & Ireland. Very cool.
Fantastic! ❤️🇦🇺🦘
When I fly, I always try to get a seat right at the back of the plane - because nobody has ever reversed a plane into a mountain!
Hilariously spot on Ricky
That whistle subject, was the same as one in Top Gear when Land Rover made about a whistle in bad situations. Such innovation. Much wow.
This is PURE GOLD.
Did I miss the meeting where it was decided comedians weren't allowed to develop material on the same subject?
Anyway, another thing the Big Yin said about flying was the safety advice about putting on a lifejacket when about to crash into a mountain. "This will do you no good at all, but when archeologists find your remains in two hundreds years time, they'll think there was a river here."
I like how he waits for the laughs to stop so the whistle can be heard. 2:49
Most comedians do.
Ricky - I love you! You’re a tonic!!!😂
LEGEND
German Michael Mittermeier did this bid like 15 years ago.
Still good.
lol echt? meinste der ricky hat das vielleicht sogar geklaut? :D
mittermeier war ja auch im ausland oft auf tour
Austrian Michael Niavarani too
No one cares about a nazi
15 years ago seems like the 90s but it's actually 2005 damm
lots of comedians have done this joke a long time ago.
I don't know if you've ever been in a helicopter.. of course you haven't.. 😂😂
Another great video.
the whistle love it....what a guy...cdh Canada
Who is here after the golden globes speech?😂
not a snowflake
Everyone!
That is how time works!
This man is comedy gold.
kinda
"`old on...*wheep*" Absolutely hilarious.
Ricky Gervais is fuc***´ brilliant!
This very well couls be my personal favourite bit of comedy ever "it smashes the fuck to bits"
The guy from GTA IV was so funny they made him in real life
Miming winding down the window in the chopper got me 😂
Legend!
“First class, BA, doesn’t get any better”
I think there’s a laundry list of airline companies that would disagree
Mentioning 'BA' in this joke means he doenst actually have to pay for tickets, ever. At least, that would be my guess. And that's what makes it true, bc FREE business class on BA really cant be beat :)
wildzwaan free business class on emirates, singapore airlines, etihad, Qatar, even bloody virgin Atlantic, is better
imagine watching this while flying
Brilliant
Best comedian of all time!
'Only on Netflix'
As I watch on youtube ;)
Hey that whistle saved Rose's life
Didn't have helicopters back then xD If they did they could have saved Rose and maybe Jack and a ton others too.
Unbelievably talented.
So good
This is a great masterclass in joke timing ❤️
It depends on the type of crash. Crash in to mountain or in to the sea good luck but if it is during taking off or landing you have a good chance of surviving.
2:10 how does he keep a straight face while doing that skit 😂😂
Hillarious!! This is a funny guy!! 😂🤣
I love Ricky Gervais and I'm not saying this is totally ripped off of it, but this is really super similar to a stand up bit by George Carlin.
Christopher Shaner that’s funny I was watching that exact bit the other day and it’s definitely similar but I don’t think it was ripped off either
I've talked about place crashes n stuff like this to my friends many times, so I'm sure it wasn't copied. Just great minds thinking alike I guess. (Not calling myself the great mind just them lol)
This isnt funny coming from Ricky Gervais
Honestly hes got a point. Wouldn't something like a laser pointer be more useful?
most of the safety videos i sat through told me they were equipped with a light
@@sereese4937 well yeah but that'll do f**k all in the day time lol. A laser pointer works no matter the time of day and can reach much further.
The whistle sounds had me in tears xD
The start about the brace:
Its desighned to stop you smacking or go flying into the bulkhead or seat infront.
The whistle on life jacket:
Usually there are some survivers on water, its so ur crew can hear if anyone needs immediate help, like z code blue in a hospitalm
omg i love this men❤️💜😱💚
Man** ❤️
Hey
That face after the first whistle!
This dude is great
Aren't the whistles supposed to help u find other people that you can't see.
ofc they have a use, but in case you didn't notice, this is a comedy bit
r/woosh
@@mannymonster3509 r/ihavereddit
Fuck me you’re fun! This isn’t a documentary
Please remove this comment
Jimmy Carr did basically the exact same joke in one of his stand ups and so did Alan Davis on QI. Idk if this is plagiarised but it’s certainly influenced
There is an german Comedian named Michael Mittermayer who did that exact same Joke in the late 90's as well.
2:45 that old school window opening on a helicopter lmfao.
What a legend
Love how there is people taking this literally lol it is a comedy bit! Everything safety wise on a plane is there for a reason.
Jack D what, the second half of your comment contradicts the first half
Seat belts (in cars) have saved many thousands of lives. Nobody has ever been saved by the life preserver and whistle, even though they've been available on almost all commercial flights for many years.
@@nagualdesign Nobody? Not one single person? You must know a lot about this to be able to make claims like that.
@@FOKI5895 Nah, I just saw it on QI. 😜 It isn't the sort of extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence though. It's a straightforward factoid that should be easily falsifiable if it isn't true.
@@nagualdesign Then you must know that a plane crash where a plane slams into ground and explodes is very rare, and most of the time gliding descend, or landing on water is an option, a lot of people have survived a plane crash. Most famous example for water would be flight 1549.
Ok.
So Iran plane crash + Ricky Gervais golden globe speech = this.
Reminds me of an old Michael Mittermeier (German comedian) bit, pretty much the same joke about the whistle
Reading town Genuis normal guy... Superb ricky g 💯%. On top form
There isn’t even room in cattle class to lean forward and adopt the brace position but Ricky wouldn’t know this with all his lovely brace adopting space in first class
I'm around 5'6, there seems to be adequate space for me. What matters is that you're pressed tight against the seat in front
Don't forget the light on the life-jacket.......that 1 watt bulb will help attract sharks/jelly fish.
Love him
I totally agree with Ricky! But he managed to make it super hilarious out of it
It's not at all accurate. Having a next to 0% chance of surviving a plane crash seems to be a fairly common misconception. People always think of the situations Ricky described when they think of a plane crash and for those, it's highly unlikely that anyone survives, but in reality, those types of crashes are the rarest. Most plane "crashes" these days are runway excursions, where the plane slides off the runway. This type of accident is generally very survivable and adopting the brace position will reduce your chances/the severity of injuries. This is why you are told to brace for an emergency landing. Once you consider all types of plane crash, your chances of surviving one are around 95%
"Actually, the brace position is to protect your head and teeth so that you can be identified"...that's literally as ridiculous as the joke this comment thread is based upon. A planes going down at 300 - 500 miles an hour into a mountain and your forearms provide enough of a shelter to your head and teeth that rescuers can identify you. The passengers teeth ( and heads ) amongst those who failed to adopt the brace position are just mush, unidentifiable.
The dislikes are from those who died, obviously
They didn't brace
if thats the true then, "Hi grandpa and grandma!"
There is a bit of dave allen in this bit lol. If you watch Dave Allen's stand up bit from the 80s and 90s it similar to his.
It smashes the fuck to bits 😂
If I watch all the little segments from his Netflix show, I won’t have to get Netflix. Save some money
Didn't Jimmy Carr performed the whistle bit in his act already?!!
Ronnie John's did this years ago as chopper... very funny and worth a watch
Eddie Izzard done it about 20 years ago
Bradley Walsh did it way before even had, check it out.
And Billy Connolly
YES! OBVIOUSLY 100 PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS BIT BEFORE! This is like arguing over who was the first person to fart
I have never watched the office UK but damn this guy is actually funny😂
This is well delivers and funny and I love Gervais, but didn’t Dave Allen so the whistle in the ocean bit?
Doesn't matter how much you pay for your ticket or how plush your seat is, if it falls out the sky you're dead...
Jimmy Carr had a very similar bit about the brace position not doing anything on a plane. this routine seemed to copy a few other comedians acts
And a certain Irish comedian in the 1970s
It smashes the fuck to bits
When is this special out?
