"I believe you can joke about anything, it all depends on how you construct the joke" -George Carlin
Great quote!
Yes! It’s not a matter of what you’re joking about; it’s a matter of what the joke says about the topic.
To prove his point Carlin followed up those words of wisdom by saying "imagine Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd".
Offense is always taken.
Never given.
At the end of the day, a good joke is a good joke, and a bad joke is a bad joke. Topic doesn't really matter.
The fact that Ricky also has a bit where he mentions what he calls his "eating years" where he felt sick after eating 11 sausages and how he worked out a lot just to enjoy wine and cheese tells us that he's not just observing it, but has lived through it too. And since my weight has gone through huge fluctuations as well, it just makes it funnier for me.
The problem is when ppl with depression eat up their emotions. It is not something you should do, but it is better than not eating and for example sleeping at all. I lost 20 kg in one month and I know that now when I get depressed and eat excessively I at least do not get more depressed just because my brain has not enough nutrients. I try to change that as well, but it is hard
I genuinely believe you can joke about anything, just read the room. I’ve gained the most weight ever in my life and still find this standup hilarious. They are just jokes, if he ever offends me I will simply never watch his stuff ever again. But I’m not gonna campaign against him for it. Awesome video 🙌
very true, now a days cancel culture making noises about everything that they don't like even jokes that is based on truth and facts, like bill burr ricky germaine and dave chappelle are talking about most are facts and truthfull in funny way.
although i don't like bill burr but i respect his jokes.
Watching a comedy show and being offended is the same thing as stepping into a boxing ring and whining when you get punched.
@@aaronjanusch6090 true.
Well said Irish Jesus. The world has become so damn sensitive. I think that a lot of it is for attention personally.
And the funny thing is that Ricky and I would assume other comedians alike get the most heat when they joke about topics like being fat, trans or any number of current social issues instead of when they joke about 911, the Holocaust or rapists.
Going to Canada made me laugh outloud. The rest was truths in an amusing way. Thanks Diane BOOP
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DianeJennings clueless bimb0
I adore Ricky, all the right priorities. He loves and advocates for animals, unapologetically vegan, hilarious, honest, incredibly intelligent, not politically correct and he calls a spade a spade. 😍🙏 wish everyone was as forthright.
John Pinnet was a large fellow and funny. He made jokes about his size. Even after he lost some weight, he still made jokes about it. Sadly he has passed. Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias is also a large guy. He has made jokes about his weigh and his love for food. Yes he has also lost weight but continues to make jokes about his size and food as well as his zany antics. He incorporates element of his life into bis comedy and the best comedy is relatable comedy. I the content in to esoteric or leaning toward one viewpoint only, it ceases to have that universally relatable quality to make a wide, diverse audience laugh. Just look at the truly successful comedians out there. The ones that create relatable humor continue and the ones that don't are only funny to their niche market and that's it.
Ricky is hit or miss for me. When he let's celebrities have it is when I really love it.
Same!
Ricky Gervais is a comedy genius.
6:30 Agreed!!! I've always been a pretty fit person. I've always lifted weights, done cardio, gotten outdoors, etc... However, the last three years, I've been struggling with a health issue that's prevented me from doing most of that, and for the first time I have a gut. For all of my trips to my doctor, not once has he tried to encourage me to be doing a little more to stop the weight gain, even though he knows three years ago I had a six pack. He's afraid to mention it because of our current culture. It's very unfair to medical professionals to make them walk on egg shells like that around people and make them afraid to point out weight gain, when it's their job to keep their patients healthy. 🙂
My doctor would never walk on egg shells, lol. Which, IMHO, is good.
@@Babba08 You have a good doctor then. I had to call mine out eventually.
I'm obese and I find his fat jokes hilarious 🤣😂🤣. None of it offends me, it's top quality comedy!
Oh i applaud.the end bit is pure comedy. From the irony of you mentioning poor Mr. Chewingham's weight loss to the treat giver being an enabler.❤👏
I'm about 173 cm, and at one point I weighed almost 18 stone. Sure, there seems to be a genetic component, but, I'll admit that what I ate played a huge part.
When folks asked, "How are you doing?" I'd respond, "I'm fat." No excuses, just the truth. 😁
Being a guy, I really wasn't concerned about it until I had a stroke and was diagnosed with diabetes. And, even now, weight can fluctuate. Still tend to put on "winter weight" due to lower exercise then, for example.
What can I do about it? To lose weight, I'd have to eat a dangerously low amount of calories, according to the "nutrition experts." (And the diabetes "health professionals" are generally promoting harmful diets for a diabetic...) So, I try to eat as sensibly as I can, and try to avoid eating beyond starting to feel full.
Those who felt challenged or offended by Ricky Gervaise need to realise a rule of comedy: they deal in generalities and the ridiculous. Don't take everything to heart. 😉
When others joke about fat people at the gym or jogging has always bothered me. At least they’re doing something about it and saying something negative might be discouraging. I like to be encouraging in a positive way.
I agree. It shows their ignorance
Agreed. It makes you feel like you are damned if you do and damned if you don't
He has that way of laughing through trauma.He helped me, and helps me still, make fun of reality.His jokes at his girlfriend’s expense are hilarious.His truth is brilliant. One of the few comedians I get. Watch his show Derek.He wrote and starred in that.It’s very funny, and very dark and very sad.It went off the air quickly.I think he’s very good at hiding his hurt with laughter. A lot like Robin Williams. I hope he loves a long time.Hes a good man who feeds us awful shit and tries to make it taste good. An atheist Willy Wonka. Lol
OMG, I totally forgot the ''Jane'' series! That was hilarious. And when he sent Karl to do ''An Idiot Abroad'' was brilliant.
Not calling people who have fat, fat is like not calling people who have intelligence, intelligent.
Lol, Diane, 'I hate healthy food'...😆🤣
6:41 That's just silly. It's a descriptor just like any other. If I say someone has blonde hair/is tall/short, it doesn't 'quantify them as just being the value of their hair colour/height'. IT's simply a description of one aspect of that person.
I can absolutely believe the story about the women on the plane with the bucket of food. I worked in Walmart for almost 5 years. I've seen iterations of exactly that, they'd just be on those mobility scooters instead of a plane.
It’s who you are inside that defines you, not your outside. Great job, keep it up.
Yes! Thank you!
Part of rhe weight gain problem is all the process food especially her we in the States and hormones also play a part in storing fat..this isn't true of all ppl but for some this plays a huge role in way the fat is easy to obtain and so hard to lose..buts some types of medications also causes ppl to gain weight..no one needs to judge a person for their weight until you know a person past and medical conditions..
Ive always said if I lived in America I would definitely have a major weight issue. They make it verrrry hard there.
I'm a fatty and for me its pretty much what you said, eating too much of normal foods, im not sitting around eating junk all day, barely drinking soda or anything, all it is is I eat too much with each meal and don't exercise.
(I feel like is should be said that I'm not offended by this Ricky Gervais routine, its funny!)
Right?!
09:15 Yeah, that's where I got offended too, the effin' Foster's.
Ricky is beloved for a reason.
Fat should be a thing you can call someone, it’s better to shame them than to let them die of a heart attack when they’re 35.
It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't joking about the bucket, if it was taking off from the states 😅🤣
Teasing someone about being fat to only to hurt their feelings is wrong but not telling someone they need to fix their weight is also wrong. It’s not healthy ever and is a sign of gluttony, laziness or the combination of both.
Ricky Gervais is a comedian, and he has the attitude that if you are easily offended by jokes, stay home or leave. Going to a comedy show is not for the light hearted. Comedians are going to offend someone. Because someone goes there to be offended and to complain. Well, they got what they wanted. His new Netflix special Super Nature, is hysterical and very offensive to a specific group and life style. He makes no bones about it either. but, you have a choice, Netflix has a lot of other shows you can watch, like Dave Chappelle and the Closer. Sorry not that one, that one was considered offensive to the same group of people, Surprisingly, Netflix has come out in support of both comedians for their shows and will not cancel them. Netflix told their employees, a very small minority by the way, that if they do not like the content of the shows being posted on Netflix, they can leave if they like. But if you stay you will work diligently and professionally on the production of those shows.
My personal opinion is that 95% of fat people are fat because they are lazy. I have an obese mother and I, myself wake up every morning and workout on top of keeping track of my calorie intake everyday to stay in shape. I don't enjoy it, but I do it to stay in the shape I want to be in. My mother complains about her weight, but won't commit to taking care of herself, to stay in weight. She doesn't want to eat right or workout and I see this from a lot from others I know that are overweight. They would rather try to guilt everyone else into accepting them as they are, than to actually put forth the effort to change what they don't like about themselves. I believe that, if you want to feel better about yourself, it's up to you to make the change, not society
My wife is disabled. She had colon cancer. She went through chemotherapy and radiation. She is unable to to exercise. She still needs to take in calories to live. She is not fit. She will never be fit. The jokes are not funny. Sometimes it's not about personal responsibility. Sometimes we are fucking broken.
As a usually fat person, I have to disagree about gaining weight without knowing it. I have lost several pounds over the years only to have them find me again without me realizing until the last minute.
Saaaaaaame!!! Sneaks up on you totally!
We treat physical beauty like it's an accomplishment. Like me for example, I hear "you look great," and then it's followed by the inevitable "have you lost weight?" It's never, "How are you? Are you happy? Are you doing well?" And that, to me, is insane. We're more concerned about the outside than we are about the person on the inside.
if someone were to ask a fat person if theyre happy, that person would be crucified.
Being a LARGE person my entire life, I find it funny that you can't say anything about a person's race, religion, or sexuality without people getting all excited. However, it seems FAT people have always been fair game. I've heard it all and it no longer bothers me. I'm happy with who I am! My weight does not define me. LUV THE CHANNEL ! ..peace!
Thank you!
Race and sexuality. Ah, so you´re one of those, ricky mentioned, who equated being fat, with being gay. Religion has only started being an "offensive" subject in this century for the most part, and even then, mostly just in crazy woke, PC circles. Wasn´t long ago when Hitchens and the rest whooped those crazies(religious) all over the place. But now thanx to overfeminization of our society, "be nice, conform, obey" has become the prevailing mantra of the so called culture. As if the world was one big kindergarten.
But if you fat, you fat. The word is an adjective that has a precise meaning, used to qualify something. Now the way one perceives it might be negative but it's an objectively neutral word. Just like saying you are thin, tall, short, small, pretty, ugly, funny, grumpy... People putting waaaay too much thought into this. It's either you feel good the way you are and then what do you care if people call you fat? Or you don't feel good about yourself and need people to take your perception of the word into account and so YOU need to come to term with your situation and that's that.
Now we are obviously not talking about diseases here, just normal fat people
i heard a hen party in a snuggie one night say "it starts when you sink in his arms and ends with your arms in his sink."
As a fat person fine. Sure not everyone is fat because of their eating habits or lack of exercise, but as a fat person, I can tell you that's why I'm fat and I thought this skit was hilarious. I'm not under some false notion that my fatness is a result of anything other than bad life choices and Ricky's comedy just points that out and it's hilarious.
Frankly, all this PC tip-toeing that people do does not help me do better about my health. Obviously people shouldn't be rude and tell you you're fat unless you bring it up. But, for example, I always say it about myself and my family is always "you're not fat". Like how does that help me?
The battery runs out on my phone every day. It’s not a curse. It’s a life style.
I love you're videos btw
I do agree that doctors should be able to tell people, "You are obese and for your own health, you need to loose weight." The only time I could ever have been accused of being big was easy to fix. I just stopped drinking so much beer all the time. I find Ricky Gervais more humorous than funny most of the time. I will look for his Netflix special
Doctors shuld absolutely tell people just as they advise smokers to stop. I dislike when they automatically blame all the issues on weight without further examination. I've heard thats a major issue
Talking about doctors, I put on 20 kg in 3 months, only because my doc prescribed some anti-depressants to me, 'so you won't be less of a bear to others after your father's death'. By the time I realized, the damage was done already. She didn't have the magic pill for me to lose that extra weight, though. And my mood got even worse, for obvious reasons. And I'm still like a bear to others, because I AM a bear. A teddy bear for some and a don't-fuck-with-me bear for others.
Ricky Gervais mentioned that just because you are offended doesn't mean you are right. Some people are offended by equal rights
I love this guy, my best friend is 360lbs and I give him shit all the time. He knows it and we laugh about it all the time.
-Close that mouth before a fly gets in! (-Doh! *laugh*)
If you can't laugh at your own faults, you shouldn't laugh at the faults of others. I laugh at myself all the time 🤣
My wife and I are kinda fat. I am not offended by fat jokes. People need to get over their selves. I honestly am starting to get offended by all the people that feel offended.
I'm an American truck driver... the food options at most truck stops most of the time are calorie heavy and nutritionally void. I try to buy at grocery stores when I can, but it's not always an option, nor is exercise. I'm over weight as a result, but not obese (cuz I try) but the assertion that it's a choice is a little bit crass.
I don't mind jokes or humor; I've just never liked his absolute certainty in what little he knows as being enough to be well-informed. His entire schtick is "this complex issue is actually very easy" when in fact, it rarely is. That said, if anyone thinks he's funny and they enjoy his comedy and like him as an entertainer, then go for it. Have at it. Enjoy it. Live as happy a life as you can.
I feel ya!
@@DianeJennings pity some reactors appear to have had a sense-of-humour bypass.
Just watched a few videos from "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown", you must bring these to the masses. Laughing so hard I can't breathe.
Funnier than I thought it'd be. Good delivery. He mentioned at the beginning that he used to be fat, and I think his material stemmed from his mentality that he had when losing weight, as if being hard on himself may have been what motivated him, and now he feels comfortable making fun of the topic. You know what I mean?
I mean, he made a lot of generalizations like not mentioning any other factors like age, metabolism, sugar, medicine, lifestyle, economics, etc. He talks as if everybody can put in the same effort and eat the same things and get the same results, or even have the time. That's not true. For example, I have always had a fast metabolism and pretty terrible diet while staying the same weight. Also the food available to Americans is much less healthy due to the whole industry itself.
I'll also add that there seems to be extremes of fat and skinny, as if society is compensating by glorifying being skinny, or that skinniness is inherently more attractive. I don't see any issue with having fat until it becomes too unhealthy. And in my opinion, it may actually be mentally healthier for some people to have a particular diet as long as it's not gluttonous. The opposite extreme of being too health conscious and appearance obsessed is certainly not mentally healthy.
I like stand up. Check out Brian Regan - I Walked on the Moon.
At the end of the day, "People are in control of every morsel of food that goes into their mouth." - Myron Gaines
It is their fault and they did choose to be fat. They chose to eat the extra food and/or not work out more. Usually no exercise at all. Because the real epidemic is Laziness.
You cut out the best bit 😂, I understand tho it's pretty wild
I mean, you CAN joke about anything. The real question is SHOULD you? I tend to think no. I have heard a lot of jokes that are hilarious that have a pretty low chance of offending. I rather think making jokes that are offensive to many and funny to some is fairly lazy. You will never make everyone happy, but that shouldn't mean you don't bother to try to be a bit nicer, better, at all.
Love that you are emphasising everything he says when you try oppose him 😅
I've always been a fan of Ricky Gervais. During lockdown I gained quite a bit of weight. I'm from Middlesbrough so I'm a big fan of a Parmo, which is that reason I gained weight haha! This is always funny. Never offended and if I ever was, as others have commented I'd just not watch. You know Ricky Gervais is going to push on offensive so why do people watch if they know that? Loved the reaction and love your videos.
I always enjoy your videos ..but I don't normally comment. But I'm hoping it will be enough so my phone doesn't die till I'm almost home(I always like)
In my opinion, it's rude to comment on someone's weight loss or gain.
I thought you were going to react to his recent controversial special that you mentioned at the beginning nonetheless great reaction
I enjoyed the video and his comedy bit. I think that I remember commenting on that thing from before, where you asked that question.
I'm a person that uses a wheelchair. I'm crippled. There are things that I obviously cannot do and will never do. I'm talking about walking up a flight of stairs or climbing a ladder. Those things will NEVER happen for me. It isn't my fault and I don't feel bad about it. Fat people on the other hand, if their weight is within their control (as it most often is) their excuses don't hold up. If they continue to eat unhealthily and refuse to improve their physical activity they'll remain fat.
I don't have anything against fat people. If they're happy, go ahead and keep it up. :)
I'm athletic and my arms and legs are 100% muscle, so I weigh more then the chart says I should. My dr. still wrote on my chart that I need to work on my obesity. I've had co-workers joke, "I want to see a fat Kate!" I tell them, "you should have seen me in high school and college. This IS a fat Kate." The whole thing can get weird.
Doctors can absolutely be dumb dumbs. They're good at book learning, but that doesn't make them sharp.
The obesity chart needs to be updated. According to the chart, Tom Brady is obese.
@@DianeJennings In the US they only have to take 1 or 2 courses in nutrition to get their degree.
The problem with the whole 'height/weight chart, and Drs in particular, is that chart was used yrs ago to chart a populations weight/height. Basically a person who had no training to be a Drs went around measured a few people of varying heights and recorded his findings...I'm 5' 10" (178 cm) I weight 225 lbs. (102 kg) according to the chart, my "ideal" weight should be around 183 lbs. (83 kg)..I had a 6 pack, huge muscular arms and i was training to be a bodybuilder. But she said i was obese. Told her she was an idiot.
@@soulus25 Most people I know who are body builders say the same thing. They technically qualify as obese even though they have an extremely low percentage of body fat
You and Ricky color coordinated your shirts! Good video!
"Everyone needs a goal, how about three hundred pounds!"
Diane, do you have an evil twin, or are you the evil twin? Diane the editor is seriously fabulous.....
It seems like it's much safer to punch up than down. He probably gets a little bit of leeway on this subject because he has experience living with it. I think that's the key to not seeming that you're just being mean. There's no art in just being mean and there's certainly a craft in comedy.
Thats a great point!
Personally I don’t think the words fat or obese are offensive, if someone does then it’s probably because they themselves are fat or obese. So even if you were to invent new terms to describe these conditions eventually we’d come to the same point were fat or obese people would be offended by them, then we’re just back to square one so what’s the point in changing them.
I rarely find any good comedian offensive. I find Ricky and Dave Chappelle to be two of the funniest people on Netflix now. The only parts of the Academy Awards I watch is when Ricky Gervais does his comedy clips for RUclips, Can't stand any of the award shows. I ove how he roasts celebrities and cares nothing about their feelings. Oh, and I can't imagine you having problems with your weight. Love your smile and your eyes. I spend most of the time looking at you and your reactions. Have a great day.
"Generally speaking in general"

Diane, we have been socialized towards slender body images in books, movies, and television to the point where anything which is different from the socialized image is judges as abnormal or wrong. Our socialization regarding the slender body image isn't inclusive of the diversity, ethnicity, or culture.
Agreed
New subscriber. I'm binge watching so I have alot of comments.
No one goes to a comedian they don't know of. So anyone that goes to a big comedy show like his are looking to be offended. If they don't like a comedians type of comedy. Don't watch. but it's our right to enjoy it without fake outrage from afew annoying people.
I am an insulin-dependent diabetic. I got fat when they put me on insulin because insulin makes you gain weight. On insulin, I went from 185 pounds (13 stone/ 84kg) to 230 (16.4 stone /104.5 kg) THEN everyone is passing judgement on me going, "You're diabetic because you're so fat." NO, BIDGES, it's just the opposite; I'm fat because of the insulin! Having said all that, Ricky G. is hilarious! I love you and your channel. Don't stop!
A waist is a terrible thing to mind. Wonderful reaction!
I was about to comment “Where’s Chewie?” and there he was at the end. Yay!! So cute.
Soooo, I already watched this instalment and given it a thumbs up however today it came to life for me. On a flight from (could I say SJU) I actually had a FAT woman seated next to me with food in a red and white bucket container.
I'm not a mean guy, but people need to get over most things. I don't yell at someone who says something negative about me, I just get on with my day.
Honey, this is a smart, quality comedy and its obviously not your field. Please, stick to those things you can understand. Thank you.
I'm fat, ugly and disabled and I love him so much no offense ever taken on my behalf.
I think he's hilarious and could careless of what people think of.
Ricky, despite saying “I’m not having a go”, can’t help letting real meanness slip into his routines. There’s so much wrong with this one, not the least of which is the economic cost of healthy eating, the genetic role that plays into metabolic rates and disabilities, and the possibility that obesity is a famine survival response. Just so much we don’t understand which makes fat shaming just another form of verbal abuse. Oh, let’s not even touch how the corporate urge for profits at all costs includes are mortality and waistlines. Why is corn syrup used as a sweetener again?
"I like to eat." No truer words have ever been spoken.
Personally, I don't find it particularly offensive to call someone "fat" - it's just a physical descriptor, as are "thin", "tall", "cut", "red-haired", or "black". I find dancing around the terms to be fairly offensive, honestly. Someone with red hair knows that his hair is red, as does someone who is overweight, especially morbidly so, knows it. It's pretty insulting to presume that that person is either ignorant or emotionally fragile.
Great video. As a fat person I didn't find it offensive. Love that you congratulated chewie on weight loss on this video. x
whenever a lady says they want to be told if they're getting fat I just think of that Admiral Ackbar meme :)
😅
As someone who has been chronically overweight... fat... just plain obese, I always appreciate when someone notices I've lost weight. It may not last but it feels good for at least a moment. Sometimes longer.
sweet things are bad because of the sugar, the sugar actually helps the body store more fat. I forgot the exact terms for it, but yea. you cut down on sugar substances, and you'll easily lose weight without even working out.
You don't believe the bucket story? I work in an ER and have seen people come to the ER for emergency treatment, and stop on the way to grab a bucket of KFC. They come into the ER eating KFC complaining of chest pains. Real life! 🍗
Editor Diane makes a VERY strong point.
I like to use this exchange from the classic tv show Cheers
Woody "What are you up to Mr Peterson?"
Norm "My ideal weight if I was 6' 10"
My father was a rather large and he always referred to himself as portly
The quote is "My ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall".
About the plane story, don't know if it is true or not but I have seen something similar. A 400lb woman who instead of getting a bowl of chili from a buffet, she took the entire cannister(several gallons of chili) from the buffet line and brought it to her table.
Your reaction to this is like Ricky telling a true story ,
It’s jokes just jokes ,
Laugh with your belly
I'm fat, i know I'm fat, i know why I'm fat. I work hard on my girlish figure. The problem isn't the word. The problem is we have somehow gotten to where everyones opinion of us matters more then our own. Make fun of me all you want. I don't mind and you don't matter. I'll just laugh at you. I've probably said worse about myself. And just for the record in 6'4" 402 lbs.
I just like to eat, holy munchies i so agree, you always look fabulous keep up the great content ❤️
fat guy here, funny and (mostly) true. I am what I am and I eat cake 😂
I'm fat, and I'm secure with it. I love fat jokes, and make fun of myself for being fat.
I see you didn't risk the Raul part of this segment
As a overweight gay guy I've always been very chill and relax with jokes on pretty much every issue or topic, it just depends on the person's delivery and the context of the joke. But I enjoyed every moment, great video😊 ty for the laughs❤
For someone that can "tease" anyone and everyone is Mel Brooks, especially his movies in the 70's and 80's. Between "Blazing Saddles", "The Producers", "History of the World", he pretty much includes them all.
There's a fair amount of irony for a guy like Ricky to make fat jokes - he certainly doesn't look like the kind of guy who's ever turned down a burger and fries himself. The jokes don't bother me or anything, but people who live in glass houses...
They clearly do bother you though
@@marktallentire3464 Meh, Like I said before; the jokes don't really offend me at all - but they aren't terribly funny either. TBH Ricky Gervais isn't really somebody I've ever paid much - if any - attention to one way or another, he's really kind of a nobody in the US, so it's kind of hard to actually be "bothered" by him. You have to actually CARE about something to be bothered by jokes about it.
I've had the term 'pleasingly overweight' used on me a time or two.
so back in the old movie days people would go up to Roscoe Arbuckle and say'' can I have an autograph Fatty '' to which he would reply'' I have a name'' he was a good man who got railroaded. I had fun hanging out, can't wait for the next Diane and chewie spectacular
I'm 100 pounds overweight and I approve. This is great.
I dont think it was offensive, I do think that he wasn't 100% correct about why some people are overweight though. People who are ectomorphs burn fat much more efficiently than endomorphs, but the jokes were funny nonetheless.
I agree with Ricky. Fat is fat and it is a choice for most people
If something is going to offend you, will offend you no matter whos saying it, also just because someone used to be, doesn't mean they have free ticket to belittle or poke fun at people with the precursor "I used to be" or " in the past " so no can't joke about anything just ask Chris rock
Editor Diane is awesome. I like the acerbic wit she infuses in the videos.
