He spoke about things that there is nothing funny about. And he made us all laugh. That, beyond anything, is pure talent.
People are conditioned in these contexts, which is why you often see people laugh when guests are talking about a serious story (see Harrison Ford for ex on late night shows or the infamous Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman).

He seems to gently test out that fine line where the audience will be offended if crossed, then jumps right over it!
Comedic foreplay, you don't jump to the punchline you break out the moves first
Gently??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊

"Shark would've found Anne Frank just like that" I spat out a mouthful of beer at that one😂😂
I've never spat out or lost beer.

Oh was THAT a line!
It's especially fun when you try to hold it in and it comes out your nose instead~
✊✊ Knock knock
🗣 Who's there
😄 Worst mistake Anne Frank made
Oh man, he has mastered the art of treading the line. That shower joke was close to the edge, but he pulled it off completely.
Ah hes really has man, I saw him in 2019 live, he did a string of jokes about dead babies and baby funerals that took the roof off.
Him and Jimmy Carr just tell the jokes that people tell each other when they think nobody else is listening. Me and my daughter do it all the time.
@@daviddavies3637 That's a good description actually!
The line? There is no line! Gervais says so himself in an interview a few years back.
That one was rough.
The hypothetical conversation between Nietzsche and Hitler was peak comedy🤣
I love the smirk he gets when the crowd reacts to the kleenex joke
Would you kind explaining it to me?
@@MasterAdamonia I know I'm late, but the joke is referring to needing tissues as you may cry but Ricky is making a joke about another use for Kleenex.
@@MasterAdamonia "another use" being masturbation, that is. Just in case.
@@MasterAdamonia do you really need that explaining?

One of the few people who can get away with doing Hitler jokes. Gervais is beyond good...👍
Well you have to be extremely softskinned if Hitler jokes offends you..
I dont mean you specifically but in general :)
@@ss-lz4me or Jewish?
@@edwardjohn1614
yes because they probably laugh at things other people dont like.
He’s brilliant!
Well I don't really find Hitler jokes offensive as long as they aren't unfairly racist Inna very not funny way
"There was a shower scene." I do not have words for how much I missed comedians actually being allowed to tell jokes. It's glorious to see the return.
Dude shut up. They’ve always been allowed to tell jokes. Whining about “cancel culture” or whatever you virgins are always moaning about is so cringe
The return? This is really old
@OT S potayto potahto
What OT said. He’d get lynched outside the theatre today
"Really old" to Millennials and later.
Try discussing a classic film or a classic book with them. If it didn't occur in the past 12 months they either never heard of it or can't remember. Either way it's scary.
Orémus Y'all.
That Anne frank joke came out of no where. Like a shark.
Saw what you did there :-D
@@antonystringfellow5152 sea what you did there :D
It was sick.
Comedy genius!😃
I read that in Norm Macdonalds voice.
His portrayal of Hitler as a kid whos been caught in the act has me crying 😂😂😂
I love how Ricky gets away with EVERYTHING and nobody has any idea how he does so. He's like the South Park of comedians.
Probably I think d KEY is to look like an unattractive slob and poke fun of EVERYBODY and everything including yourself 😩
If u can master that u of to a good start.
I think it's because he looks and sounds like your short, fat, funny uncle (we all got one).
He doesn't. They try and have tried to cancel him, but he is truly the only respectfully unafraid comedian out there unwilling to bend and remains flippant to cancel culture. Since they continued to fail abysmally trying to censor him, they gave up.
Probably because his intentions are to make people laugh. He's not one of these people that says something outrageous and then when no-one agrees says 'Oooh only joking'.
I wonder if it has anything to do with keeping men's wives' names out of his mouth? 🤣
I heard that Oscar Wilde's last words, while lying in his death bed in a cheap French hotel, were, "Either that wall paper goes, or I do".
I like Spike Milligan's gravestone .... ""I told you I was ill""
'One of us has to go..and I think it's going to be me' 👊
Ricky Gervais knows exactly how to do a controversial joke but still be absolutely on point, so you can't fault him for it. He is a master at jokes, compared to many other 'controversial' comedians who are just popular for being narcissistic assholes. Ricky Gervais thinks about the target of his joke and knows exactly how to crisscross and layer his jokes doubly so that the brilliance overpowers any controversy.
“I could resist everything except temptation” sounds like a line from one of those overly dramatic perfume adverts.
These days completely uncontroversial, in Victorian times not so much.
Oscar Wilde said it.
REDDDD FLAAAAG
Ricky has the knack of dropping a punchline which makes the audience think the joke is finished, and then drops the bombshell. 😂
Ricky Gervais is obviously very, very talented. He's utterly hilarious and writes some fantastic material but his body language and mannerisms really take it up a notch.
This is strangely worded. The start of it, and the "but" make it sound like you didnt like it. It would have made more sense if you said "but this was not funny". Bro you gotta watch your language.
@@PBMS123 He worded it okay, and I understood it perfectly. The word "but" isn't always used as a complaint. Are you an American struggling with the English language?
@@PBMS123 Btw, you should have started with "This is worded strangely." Not "This is strangely worded." The irony here is staggering.
@@barrymitchell6444 pulled his trousers down 😂😂😂
@@PBMS123muppet 😂😂
Him impersonating Hitler like a little boy caught in mischief is just too funny 😂
4:55 - For anyone younger than 20, understand that History and Discovery were quite different back in the day.
Totally
Now he would say "Ask me anything about ancient aliens and Bigfoot."
I miss those days.
the start was just him getting warmed up and that shower joke was the finisher, love it
I laugh so hard every time I see the Hitler/Nietzsche bit
That part is terrible but funny as heck.
It's fucking hilarious .... The embarrassed face he makes .
@@angusmacchesney5810 why terrible?
@@arcangle7444 i believe he is referring to the holocaust as terrible not the joke
''I read between the lines''. I was falling off my chair. No No No No No i didn't mean that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Humor can save humanity from itself. Stress from graveness and obedience will kill us all. Long live Ricky Gervais!
One if the smartest writing comedians going. Just pure ingenuity and talent.
when he said "shower scene" i spit out my beer lol
Oh wow... you had beer
@@thomthom6268 This comment gave me cancer.
I was so appalled I walked from my bedroom through the hallway,into the sitting room,out of the front door,walked half a mile to the shop,bought a 24 case of strong beer and a large bag of crisps,came back home,opened a beer and spat it out.
I haven't laughed that loud for ages. Tears on my cheeks
On Ghandi, "What do you think of it now mister magoo" hilarious.
It's Gandhi
"What do you think of western civilization" a poor little reporter asked. "I think it would be a good idea" replied Ghandi. "Oh, well give us back your degree from London University, ooh and your national health specs. What do you think of it now Mr.Magoo". Absolutely hilarious.
It's Gandhi and not Ghandi. Kindly see the spelling.thank you
@@gayatreshivan1320I apologise for my spelling, Gayatre. Why my spelling in a comment on comedy should bother you, I do not know. It's not the most important thing in both our lives, I'm willing to guess, but as you have taken the time to comment on it, I sincerely apologise, Gayatre Shivan.

Yay for keeping free speech and using comedy to unite not divide. Love Gervais's talent and so funny!
He's certainly talented but when it comes to his personality and standup he's awful
@@name8631 Well it's all in the eye of the beholder I suppose. I think he's brilliant! 🤣🤣
@@name8631 Enjoying people being uncomfortable about discussing the past is not awful or anything to do with personality.
Just because you're a sensitive ignorant baby doesn't mean that HE is required to keep pretending like santa is real.
His humor is grown up, and if you're uncomfortable with that you should switch over to disney channel instead.
@@fredriks5090this in itself is comedy as it's being used as a defence of "lol that sounds gay, isn't it funny how gay that sounds"
@@name8631 Nice profile pic.
This has probably been said so many times , but Gervais is absolutely the definition of comic genius.
Can’t be pointed out enough mate!
Robin Williams was comic genius. Gervais doesn't rise to that level. And Williams had more class & decency than to use the death of 40-50 Million people for a joke.

@@AJ-yw7hf ooooh chimpanzee that . If he's touched your nerve then he's done his job well. Get a sense of humour :)
I'm french and I LOVE Gervais so much. Pick something you shouldn't laugh about and give it to him, he'll make a cult joke on it in seconds. A genuinely funny man and brillant writer/comedian.
I always liked his humor. And since his last golden globes appearance for me he’s a true hero.
I love ricky's talent to speak about anything from ww2 to unicorns and we will all still laugh, he has figured out how to make everything funny, instead of being cancelled every day
I'm not sure that the British can be canceled. Lol
So great with a comedian that actually puts in a descent amount of research in his material, before intelligently performs his material that both informs as well as challenge us while at the same time makes us all laugh!
One of the greats in my book. Ricky, Bill Burr and George Carlin - just awesome!!
George Carlin 👍🏾
Don't forget the late great Dave Allen.
Anyone who has not heard of him , look him up on you tube.
Highly recommended.
Loved George Carlin too.
GERVAIS = French slang for SMEGMA = KNOBCHEESE. You couldn't make it up if you tried.
@@JimOverbeckgenius Hehehe! OK, don't know what to say to that...but certainly funny! Perhaps even so funny that Mr. Gervais would find it funny as well...who knows? ;-)
Would be great if you took the time to spell "decent" correctly.
I like how when he acting as Nietzsche , he is all modest and soft-spoken. Nietzsche was , despite his provocative statements , always very mild in his manners
Love Ricky.
He's not afraid to tell funny jokes still.
Not afraid to mention nazis or Hitler, like people who do are automatically racists or something.
75 years after the war, Brits are still obsessed with them, so of course he would, as does Al Murray.
@@shelbynamels973 yeah, we fought a world war where hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people died.
Both of my grandparents fought.
Perhaps that's what makes England a bit different.
@@NotDecided420 The only country I could think of still similarly obsessed with the Great Patriotic War is the Soviet Union/Russia.
In the US, in increasing number of people don't even remember Pearl Harbor.
@@shelbynamels973 perhaps Pearl Harbour wasn't mainland, so people still felt safe being thousands of miles away from any front.
But we've got bomb creators in fields around us. We've got remnants of old air bases and flight towers.
We still have very real reminders of the war.
I don't think that's a bad thing personally.
@@NotDecided420 Yeah, prolly so. Just as there are few if any physical reminders of the war left on the mainland, I was more thinking of how little it occupies the cultural and public sphere. Nobody in the US would use the term 'Jap' or 'Kraut" any more, yet Al Murray even today gets a laugh out of the audience when he talks about 'calling "Fritz in Frankfurt on extension 109".
PS. It got me to thinking. Everybody knows, of course, of the USS Arizona memorial, but that's in Hawaii.
The only memorial=type thing on the mainland that immediately comes to mind is the internment camp at Manzanar, and what does that tell you!
The genius to mention sharks and Nazis and then multiple minutes later somehow tie it a together in one big shock, absolute comedic gold
Missed the best Wilde quote after Whistler remarked on another's good joke.
"I wish I'd said that."
"You will, Oscar, you will."
you're saying the best wilde quote was made TO him not BY him...
ruclips.net/video/uycsfu4574w/видео.html
@@kungfutzu3779 Makes perfect sense. After all, the most famous Barnum quote was made by a competitor about Barnum's customers.
@@TheJTMcDaniel what did he say about them?
@@kungfutzu3779 "There's a sucker born every minute."
Some comedians just insult people and aren't funny.
Some comedians don't insult anyone and aren't funny.
Gervais does both and kills it.
How can you do both?
He doesn't really insult people directly. He insults ideas and the situations they lead to. The fact that some are offended is explained by this quote from him, "It's like jumping in front of a bullet and saying, you shot me."
I love the way he is so wealthy and yet keeps on entertaining us. His jokes wouldn’t be nearly so funny without his cute face and voice. ❤️
Upon seeing the first opening episode of the office when it first aired and the introduction of Brent I knew this dude was a comedy genius...
Agreed. I will never recover from David Brent. 😂
Ricky, I have a lot of respect for you for what you did to the celebrities. Tom hanks expression tells us just what hes all about. You caught them all off guard. Called them pedophiles and they laughed it off cause no one does that to there faces. I love you and I'm grateful for your existence.
I suppose we all need a Ricky Cervais in certain moments in our life's... It is the most dangerous thing ever, to take yourself too seriously... Watching the reactions from the twinkling STARS at the Golden Globe Awards shows us that... Even watching at home... I would love to be the fly on the wall watching my mimic... so telling! Ego's vanity of the mind... is a slow death... Whoops! 😉
He didn't upload this
To *their* faces*
Are you suggesting Ricky believes the moronically ridiculous conspiracy theory about Queen Elizabeth, Tom Hanks, and others belonging to a secret pedophilia ring who also drink the blood of babies?!? Is that what you're commending him about?? If he heard what you're suggesting he'd laugh, you know his laugh, right in your face. Probably call you a daft bloody git as well.
Btw, that conspiracy theory has been proven false, along with the other fairy tales Q suckers his readers with. Weren't you there to watch JFK Jr come back from the dead? Yeah, that didn't come true either.
I'd like to know what did come true. Name ONE thing Q predicted that actually happened, with proof. Really happened. Just one...
@@GoodJuju.8D I don't think OP suggested that Ricky believes in whatever nonsense QAnon types have to say. We have to agree that Hollywood is a shady place at best, not as QAnon makes it up to be, but it is a place where people like Cosby, Weinstein, Polansky and many other big shots can blackmail young actors and take advantage of them.
The brilliance of Ricky's performance at the Golden Globes is - in my opinion - that he points out the hypocrisy of the famous Hollywood actors that preach about equality and social justice while at the same time keep quiet about sexual abuse they've witnessed, know about or suspect, or openly support people like Roman Polansky.
Again, there is no elite cult of pedophiles who drink the blood of children, but there actually is a power structure that allows mostly older men and women to have absolute power over the career of a young actor or actress. And the extent to which that power is and has been abused in the past will never be truly known.
Ricky you are a classic comedian! Love your shows
That smile at the and of a punch line is absolutely fantastic, seriously. Not mentioning that he is probably the only comedian that makes laugh with serious arguments. In Italy, in a country where I live, a man like him would be sued in no time. Imagine a joke on Mussolini and on the holocaust… let’s not talk about it 🙃 he is a genius, beyond talent
But your country is perfectly fine with Presidents with drug fueled Bunga Bunga parties and Cardinals that hang out with small children and the Mafia. My country is even worse.
@@alaljarensi6990 ex president my friend, thanks god the new one is the former president of the European Bank, who is far more intelligent, trustworthy and with competence, mr Berlusconi (in my humble opinion) is nothing compared to Mario Draghi.
We hope that Italy will rise again with him.
I don’t know who is your president right now, but I don’t think he is worst than him
Fantastic comedian, knocks spots off so many others... and he's Vegan! Thank you Ricky 🙏🥰
For a stand up comedy sketch…….. the acting of the dismissive hitler reactions was on fucking point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
''There was a shower scene''. WOW! Ricky Gervais everyone 😂Love his dark humor
Ricky Gervais is so funny, brilliant 👏 🤣
That has to be the best heading of all time. "Ricky Gervais Takes On Hitler, Churchill, Gandhi and Anne Frank".
"Have a box of Kleenex ready"
Ricky Gervais, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Bill Burr... probably the only real comedians left. All four are absolutely fearless.
Wrong, the only one who crossed the line is Dieudonné, and is a genius.
I think you need to take in more comedy. Plenty of brave comedians left.
You forgot Jim Jefferies...
Joe Rogan , Duncan Russell, kevin Bridges
Dude. Shane Gillis 🎉
That Schindler’s list joke was impeccable lmao
Love Gervais. Best Brent of all time.
"there was a shower scene!" OMG!!
A shark would have found her like that! Such a clever build up, perfect timing and BAM!
the shower joke at the end killed me 🤣🤣💀💀
Could you explain it? Didn't get it
As always, my favorite comedian.
He is an amazing human being! He makes people laugh in situations where you would like to feel guilty about it, but he takes the guilt off of you in some magic way! That's a one in a billion talent. That's so incredibly powerful, because laughter is such a powerful thing! I love him! If you haven't seen "After Life" you should watch it now!
Great acting there too!
His face at 9.56/9.57 when he knew "Now I did it" - priceless!
George Carlin said " as a comedian, my job is to cross the line and still make people laugh while wondering " gervais has this down to a science
I want Ricky Gervais to be my history teacher
Try "History Debunked" on YT.
Love it when he makes himself laugh and has to hide it!
bold like Rivers. love it
Great selection, thanks. 🤣
I LOVE jokes about things that are horrible (nazis, illness, death...) ... Some people think that laughing of horrible things is terrible, but what they dont know is that this kind of laugh is terapeutic, cause some things are too hard to understand so, if you cant understand them and they hurt you a lot, at least you can laugh at them (just for the time of a joke) and it feels great. I thank this kind of humour.
'There was a shower scene." One of the funniest, most fucked jokes ever.
strait through twice...i read it almost everyday and carry it with me everywhere
Evil genius! Love his dark sense of humor; he can really touch anything!
His movie THE INVENTION OF LYING was hilarious I wish he would make more comedic movies
Don't forget folks its only jokes! I love him. I think he's funny as all get!!!
Yes I never understand that I am an Indian and I didn't get offended on Gandhi joke
Gandhi first came Britain 18 years old in 1888 to study law. He visited 6 times. The last being 1931. Not many people know that.
And also he left out a quote from his hero Churchill about gasing the indians, while having a poke at ghandi for calling them out on their uncivilized ways at the time.
@@geroutathat you poor soul... you want a "cleanex"? 🤣
@@lucassanchez2496 do you expect me to clean you up with the cleanex? Clean yourself up when you sober up.
@@geroutathat
Churchill advocated the use of gasses: _"which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects"_ specifically to avoid the fatal alternatives. If this fact doesn't suit the chip on your shoulder feel free to ignore it.
(P.S. There's a page about humour on Wikipedia, if the concept is new to you.)
@@geroutathat that "quote" about gassing Indians ..if you read the WHOLE quote...he was talking about using tear gas not lethal gas. Oh and it wasn't about Indians.
that blazer on the second clip is definitely a couple of sizes bigger than he needs
In purpose to look like a priest?
Used to be fat
... so are the dad jeans.
the Gandhi bit was funny af.
I love him so brilliant so real and he really says what everybody so wants to say
No. He says what nobody expected!
This is like the 10th time you posted this.....
Still gonna watch it though.
Professional comic, i laughed so hard
Hits the truth and makes it hilarious!! And Ben Elton 🤣🤣
I think my favorite part about him is when he performs a show with a lectern like it’s a college class 😂
That's just a prop....for his can of beer!
"Have a cleanex ready" punchline was gold 🤣
I heard he got a job at a South Korean news station covering the Olympics opening ceremony.
The best comedian on the planet right now. Not afraid of political incorrectness in the least.
Living legend I love him ❤️❤️
Hello Cassandra
How are you doing today?
It's 5.00 am, I thought I'd seen everything Ricky had on RUclips but (deep joy) I hadn't. I don't think there's any other comic that makes me feel, 'That's what I'd say if I had the IQ'.
The best video on RUclips
Loved the kleenex joke, you can tell how the audience laugh at first thinking the joke was about him crying only twice, and then the slow realization on what the joke actually meant
GERVAIS = French slang for SMEGMA = KNOBCHEESE. You couldn't make it up if you tried.
Mahatma Gandhi often walked barefoot which produced an impressive set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, making him quite frail. And with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him a super calloused, fragile mystic, hexed with halitosis!
And it was a Sikh man who cured him of all his ailments in the end. Ironic huh?
Absolutely incredible
great stufff....funny as hell!!!!!!!
"a Shark would've found Anne Frank in seconds"... 😳😆
both Ricky and Oscar have one thing in common, Reading, Berkshire
Fun fact, on many occasions Churchill was too drunk to make his radio speeches, so the guy who voiced Winnie the pooh took his place.
YES HE IS A LEGEND !
If I feel a bit low this helps a lot.
Yes me also, Ricky would like our appreciation of his work in this way. All the best Johannes.
It was Nietzsche's sister who mutated his works for the Nazis. The jokes were still hilarious.
