Ricky is a vivid island of sanity in the dead ocean of insanity
💯
🎉for the WIN
Very well put
He doesn't care .
No he’s a wealthy white man celebrity
Ricky should be given the Golden Globes gig for life. 😂
He genuinely doesn’t enjoy it I heard just did it for the money…
Oh YES!! He’d keep that woke, stupid Hollywood crowd in check!! It would be priceless!! 🤗💕🇦🇺
Would anyone watch the Golden Globes if he wasn’t?
Ricky is the real deal, everyone else in the room is fake.
there are so many movies I wont watch because these idiots are in it so let down bob DeNiro what a total idiot and that ass hole who did the movie where he was stuck on an island a hole to the fullest
I could not love Ricky Gervais more❤❤
Ricky says it as it is, no sugar coating, no excuses, no hidding, no fear, just as it is. We need more people like him in this world and that is why he is so loved. Simple!
Being as rich as he is probably helps.
Instead they want jimmy kimmel to cater to the celebs the entire time as they complain about racism and politics while jimmy wore black face and sexually harassed women. Hollywood is a joke
He may be right now and then, but he's a bit of a spineless fascist, isn't he? Hiding behind his jokes, never really facing anyone.
He doesn't give a fuck
The reason ricky gets away with it is because he panders to the jews. Thats why he went so hard at Mel Gibson because Gibson went at the jews. Ricky's smart. He knows who not to insult. He'll insult everyone and thing but you'll never hear him make a joke about the jews where the jews are the butt of the joke. He'll say jew and holocaust etc but he'll never make a joke where hes insulting the jews. So ultimately, hes a fraud
"You can't legislate against stupidity, otherwise you'll be doing nothing" what a line to say on the spot
Another blinding one is "just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right"
Its a famous quote by Jesse Ventura
*The Award programs should seriously reconsider bringing him back.*
They asked and he couldn’t be bothered 😂 true
He would have had to present himself with a Golden Globe tonight, that would've been radical!
He would have had to present himself with a Golden Globe tonight, that would've been radical!
The thing with Ricky Gervais is that he didn’t become famous until he was almost 40. He knows what life is like for ordinary people and still has a firm grip on reality unlike other celebrities who make it big when they’re young and live in fantasy land most of their lives.
Good point! Part of why he’s so relatable! Just…normal. Lol
Ricky Gervais is a genius and has an unsurpassed sense of humor. Combined with the kindness of his soul, they make him unique in the world! Ι love and admire him so much...
He's the rarely seen honest celebrity
Showbiz needs Ricky for his outstanding honest humor and spontaneity.
he is just all or many celebrities nemesis. Love the way he sees the world and humans.
Hanks face says it all !
Ricky Gervais is the best. Very intelligent. His jokes have multiple layers and are presented with flawless timing. He always maintains a clear distinction between the subject and the target of a joke.
We love Ricky here in the UK his sense of humour is quintessentially British ❤❤❤❤
But UK politicians are the completely opposite of him... are they not quintessentially British?
@michalnanny1098no
No, it isn't.
@johnrushingvtidiot
Ricky is something. So confident and so daring. Love him.
Love Ricky. Wish he did every awards show
he's the smartest and kindest of souls ! love him
I want to see Ricky do the Golden Globes every year. There's no one better at it.
Sometimes you need to be blunt and direct, it can be very productive
Gotta love the Tom Hanks's in the audience butthurt laughing while they know he's talking about you...
"butthurt"?
Harvey Weinstein being shown and ricky having a laugh at bill cosby seconds later really is the cherry on the top
Gervais is the only person who I think could even win against Gordon Ramsay in an argument, he's that good
Ricky's sitcom called "afterlife" is priceless
And Extras, Derek and Life’s Too Short. All brilliant.
Just because you’re offended, it doesn’t mean your right… love that!
The guy just makes me proud of my UK comedic sanity ✊🏽😆
Good Man Mr Gervais. Hes too intelligent to be bought down !!
The reason hes the smartest in the room is because hes not a puppet like everyone else under that roof 👌💪
The invention of lying was a great expression
Ricky Gervais.. my forever spirit animal ❤️
Ricky Gervais is a living legend.
Ricky is the kind of guy I would like as a friend…he makes me laugh 😂
Ricky 4 president ❤❤❤❤
That quick shot of Harvey Wesinstein sitting at in the crowd with a young model plus one
Ricky's spade is different to other people's spade, he calls it a spade
Ricky is a genius.
Ricki Gervais Is Simply A Genius ♥️
Mel Gibson being an Aussie understands British humour extremely well and wouldn’t take offence
He at least was able to hide it, since by the first show Gervais hosted, was a fair few years after the 'incident'.
Brilliance of the Harvey comment! He didn’t lose his presentation of the host and boos. He shot them down ❤
The intro to the video -- it just hits straight to the point. And it's one of those "it's funny because it's true" moment.
Ricky is an absolute legend! He’s true to form and himself! He’s Golden and amazing! Loves Foreverer and Always ❤
Ricky is my absolute hero
Ricky would have a field trip with Billie Eyelash
He knows he's far too popular to ever get cancelled, especially in the UK.
Ricky...I am so in looove with your brain!!!
Ricky is brilliant, and we need MORE celebrities willing to put the majority of 'celebrities' in their place 🤢
Love him he a guy who knows real people
a doubt we wil ever see the likes of him again in our Oligarch driven future. what a guy!!
My two favorite men on earth: Ricky and Johnny Depp ❤❤
Pierce was asking a rhetorical question.
His pure gold that man
Respect for Mister Jervais!!!
So true to day about “political speeches”
Everyone NOT smiling is human garbage
too cruel. they just have underdeveloped intellect
@saad-t7kthey know what they are doing
@MrThejimmy0009 ...and??
Though at 5:15 I see a human garbage refraining a smile
EVERY ONE OF THEM.
1:15 😂 pfft he couldn't hold it in any longer
Top man,
dry straight up humour
I just love him!!
You insulted a woman, you must be sexist! You insulted a brown person, you must be racist! No. The point of equality is we’re all equally allowed to be insulted together
Spot On brilliant Ricky!
Ricky and Mel Gibson are good mates lol, that's why he's always having a poke at him like mates do.
I love this guy he is the epitome of a true 'no side' dude (not like that faker Joe Rogan), just stands for what he thinks is right or wrong. Hates woke, hates racists, hates guns, hates political correctness all at the same time.
I love him
"Just cause you're offended doesn't mean you're right"
It takes lots of logic twists and a genius' brain!
there is no twist here whatsoever - it is plain and simple sane reasoning and refreshing straightforwardness . AND good sense of humor combined with a talent for ironical wording.
@user-cf8xo9sy8x You don't feel the twist because you already get it. People tend to support those who are offended even they are wrong, since the one being offended looks like a victim. A victim can't be questioned.
@hsinyuchou-v4f it has nothing to do with" me not feeling"! This is your own assumption.
OF COURSE; I get it! YOu did not have to EXPAIN?! to me the above!
It has to do with logic. And with capacity to think at all. It is no twist at all - just plain simple THINKING ability he has.
TWISTING are actually those who "tend to support those who are offended even they are wrong, since the one being offended looks like a victim". THAT is twisting.
@user-cf8xo9sy8x I am not sure what's the point being so hung up on it's a logic twist or not. You also admit, for specific groups and in some circumstances, it is a logic twist. That has nothing to do with the proof of your intelligence. Just different point of views.
@hsinyuchou-v4f watch the language you use: "You don't feel", "being so hung up". Hey! I did not say ANYTHING about YOU! SO learn to communicate or just get lost with your assumptions! And your exaggerated sense of "hurt ego"!
He does it because he’s right
Love how the narrator of this video is acting like pierce is arguing that blind ppl should have guns when he’s clearly just having a conversation. It’s not a debate. Theres conversing and agreeing on the topics. Jesus.
The English, hands down the funniest people on the planet.
I love Ricky Gervais.
Love this man!!!!
I see Tom Hanks didn't get it.
Isn’t that just too Fkn bad.
Looked like he needed to take the stick out his you know what lol
Hanks is evil
Tom Hanks barely payed attention to his children. Look at Chet Hanks
@inframatic Don’t act like you know shit.
I´ve always! And him, saying all the stuff without giving a damn about what celebs think... yeah, this makes him really outstanding and for me, one of the most important personalitys in todays entertainment industry. I love him for that.
I love Ricky
Absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂
I very like him because he donats a lot for suffering animals!!!
That is lovely. I did. It know that.
Ricky, thank you for continuing Carlin smartism stuff! 😁
Love this guy ❤
Fearless and Brilliant!
I honestly like Ricky Gervais. He tells it like it is, has a bit of fun with actual facts and is really refreshing. He makes more fun of himself than he does others. That's the sign of a true comedian. He makes more fun of himself than anyone else because he's secure enough to laugh at himself. People are too uptight. Actually, my son's and my daughter's personalities are so similar to Gervais', I think Jon and Laura would have a blast with Ricky Gervais. Matter of fact, I know they would. Heartbreakingly, my son passed away less than a year ago from cancer, but my daughter still carries on the legacy. They are both so sarcastic, no one can tell if they're joking or not. So when I watch Ricky Gervais, I hear my son. Unmatchable wit.
He doesn't destroy any celebrity. Everybody is laughing at his jokes.
The invention of truth
Lovvvveeeee Ricky!!!❤
ricky is the best
They cannot canel this guy because they are too afraid of what would happen if they tried. Rightfully so.
If u get offended it doesn't mean you are right...beautiful beautiful
Seen all this before!!!
I've seen loads of people talking about how they didn't know the Grammys were on this year. You can bet the ratings would be high if they got Gervaise to host all award ceremonies. But unfortunately, the celebs would all have meltdowns😂
“Why is it like that in Hollywood? It seems common for some people there to get involved with much younger individuals. That can be considered predatory behavior.”
I will watch any show that he is hosting because he’s entertaining, fricking hilarious and says what people are thinking but too afraid to insult famous people. Award shows that are televised are for the public and we want entertainment like Ricky. Otherwise just stop televising them because most all other comedic hosts are boring.
❤
Ricky is Hilarious
Ricky is seriously one of the sexiest men on the earth. Smart, funny, and such an imp!
100% agree with this comment. Searingly sharp wit and humour is devastatingly sexy.
Yessss we love honest!
The King
hes the best
I ❤ him.
He's the best❤
Don’t ever say “here’s the context” to a customer, daaa
Yes, the UK version. IS the ORIGINAL one. Thank you!
For sure. And the better one. But not the more successful one.
Why is money the measure of success?
He said presenting the GG he was presenting to the 200m watching, not the 200 in the room. What he was saying was exactly what the 200m wanted to hear, hence why he always got invited back.
True wisdom I think comes with the courage to welcome harsh criticism and how you tolerate gadflies in your society. So says basically Socrates.
genius
He is so cool and he speaks for more and many to come wich are pissed being lectured by millionaires from utopia.
Ricky is brilliant- non apologetic, shard as a razor and hilarious and he’s a decent guy ❤
