I can literally listen to Ricky's voice all day long..... Wish he did audio-books....
Kasper Bond XFM with Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais ! Audio book :)
Kasper Bond XFM / Ricky Gervais show...
Kasper Bond He talks to Mr. K Dilkington all the time.
Jeremiah Casto You are one of our most valuable customers sir har.
+Kasper Bond He did actually do an audiobook but no one seems to know or care about it, he read the audiobook CD for his own Flanimals book.
It's not exactly a literary classic (nor was it meant to be) but the way he says some of the stuff made me laugh anyway, and I already have the book :P
2:02 - the best quote ever.

This is important. You can not like a joke and find it offensive if it's about something you are sensitive about. The point is you don't have to then try to yell at everyone about how you found it offensive, in the attempt to change people's minds and feel the same as you do. It's fine to voice your distaste for a joke, that's your right. But expecting people to never say anything that offends you is unrealistic and reveals your selfishness and shallowness.
AGREED
Being easily offended by things regardless of their context is caused by insecurity. People who are insecure prefer not touching subjects that make them uncomfortable even though touching those subjects are exactly what help in distinguishing that discomfort.
Talking about things is what helps you understand it in a deeper level and therefore you won't get hurt by it.
The thing about being mature is that things that you understand don't have the power to hurt you anymore. So if everything makes sense to you, you should be very secure of anything that comes your way.
Your view is flawed, making jokes that are simply disrespectful and isn't funny, the only people who find racist jokes funny are racists, people who find homophobic jokes funny are homophobes people
@DJHart Thank youuuuu
@Atomic Scarecrow this isn't a good thing to use in an argument, if you're making a joke that's just being racist to a specific race or a misogynistic joke or a homophobic joke you're not doing anything but attacking a specific group of people, and you're not selfish for not wanting people to constantly make jokes that are just attacking you and your family and friends, its selfish of you and the person you're replying to to think that you should be allowed to be a shit person under the excuse that it's a joke and have 0 consequences
I can't believe people still find Rickys humour offensive, could u imagine the sort of mental breakdown America would have if we sent over Paul chowdhry or frankie Boyle
by "we" I mean the UK
Paul Chowdhry? Nice, must check him out.
Sam Obviously a bit like when us Aussies sent over Jim Jefferies
Britain sent him to the US, he was never famous here until he made it in th USA
Jimmy Carr was too raw for us, had to send him back lol
rape is terrible but I think people like to talk about it until it becomes out of context, in other words, people take these topics too seriously
There's a difference between jokes and insults. Most people just don't realize this.
Insults have a more condescending demeanor. Jokes have a Im a Buffoon and you're a buffoon scenario. It's kind of hard to explain a difference, but it kind of runs on instinct or a sixth sense of sorts. However sometimes you can do both of them at once. For example you trip on ice, the guy laughs at you, then he trips on ice, and gives you a 'you saw nothing' look. You break out in laughter, he flusters in embarrassment making it funnier in your perspective.
It depends what you find insulting
Fucking nerd
The diffrence between joke and insulte is the same diffence between noise and music! The difference is only in the construction!
A joke break the continuity in the story you tell. It's the rupture, the discontinuity between what is expected and what is told.
For example : "I walk in a street with my wife a skinny guy gets mugged for his money by a group of 5. My wife ask me if I will help. I said "no 5 is enough""
All jokes are around the punchline, the fall ! here it's the rupture between what is expected. Call the police or help the skinny guy. And the answer given!
It can be about rape, racism, killed, pedophilia, wars, disease. All the mater is the contruction (work)!
Most of the time they are both, though.
"What a strange door policy."
two amazing comedians
Agreed, especially Sam Roberts.
Offence is taken, not given. A joke is a joke. t's nothing else. It's not actually a bad thing. It's actually trying to be positive in something negative. And someone actually said there isn't a comic that can do a rape joke and have their career in ruins. I can quickly name you two , who are growing in popularity. Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle.
Frankie Boyle's career definitely isn't in ruins, his comedy company's profits have doubled since last year, look it up man
pinkletoes You didn't understand what he typed.
+Dunkey LongLostSon It's true ! and 2 guys gave it thumbs up LOL
Miguel M
I don't think you can qualify them as people.
@Dunkey's Long Lost Son - True, he didn't but it wasn't helped by th OP's poor phrasing, which could be read as the opposite of what was intended. :)
the amount of people on here who still dont get it are the exact same people that ricky talks about. do people not think before they post a comment. stupidity of some people is actually astounding. I didnt believe that people that ignorant actually exist. I DO NOW
Brian McMonagle you didn't believe theres people that ignorant ?? damn.. I been knowing that a majority of the world is horrendously ignorant.
+Brian McMonagle (Fuzz) sadly the world is filled with these idiots, who struggle to even be open to understanding.
His world view is so similar to mine that it's very refreshing to know that people like us are normal.
The simple rule of comedy: either everything is fair game to make fun of, or NOTHING is.
The real annoying part of people bitching about offensive jokes is them claiming it makes you less of a person
I really like the end where he explains that he has stuff too and what offense is.
its more than "i wanna tell risky jokes and you shouldnt care" its why and pretty smart
I've loved Ricky for decades - for his humour, humanity, his love of animals :)
Of course, as a woman, I find his RAPE jokes particularly funny, lol... and I'm sure his male fans are really looking forward to hearing more great jokes about male CASTRATION, lol...
The way things are going, we won't need oppressive gov'ts to censor free expression in the future. Ordinary people will beat the inspiration out of each other.
That's how it's been achieved. That flow is directed.
Oh boy
@@haapla7614 Oh boy indeed, can't even say any *dark* jokes because the cops start shooting instantly ! Honestly though, with how things are going I'm starting to want to break free UNABOMBER from the jail, dude was more right than anyone thought at that point and it's scary...
I didn't think I was going to like what he was saying about rape at first, I was like wtf? (as a survivor) but once I heard it I was actually really happy he brought it up as a lot of people think things like oh my god if you have been raped how can you ever laugh again, did the rapist not ruin your life and take away all your joy in life? And the answer is no bitc* why is that what you would like? In fact being raped made me even more joyous in life and often I laff my ass off at how sad and pathetic rapists are.
Comedy = people being offended. People being offended = making people think about the jokes. People are too sensitive, and sometimes it’s appropriate, other times they just want to bitch about who said what. People have a false sense of comedy if they don’t think they are going to be offended. That is comedy is designed to do.
You people may say that I have no sense of humour. I could never joke about certain topics, I was sexually abused when I was younger and the seemingly endless negative impact it had on me later in life has been terrible
Aw I'm sorry, that happened to me when I was 3-6 as well by a neighbor. Everyone reacts differently though, I personally can laugh about dark topics because I need to laugh through the pain but I understand and respect that other people process their pain differently. It's crazy times in the world right now!
Different things are not appealing for different poeple.
A suicide survivor wouldn't like suicide jokes, everyone is different.
I love this man, he is so intelligent I wish I could explain things and get my point across like he can so easily do. If only more people had his views, he strongly believes in animal rights! His humour and good nature make me melt a little bit... (slightly in love) haha.
Same
Some of the comments below are quite hilarious. RUclips does show up some very strange people who cannot understand a simple logical point but have probably been told to be offended because someone is making a joke out of a taboo subject.
A super fancy way of describing "butt-hurt" 😘👆😂
Jane is attractive
Jane Fallon (Ricky's girlfriend) is gorgeous. I can see her giggling in the background.
Getting over it doesn't make it go away.
Ricky GerVAIS, what do we put flowers in him or sumtin'? Fuckin' home run Chipperson.
"There's a real self-centeredness that comes with it when you say "what I feel is appropriate is appropriate, and what you say is inappropriate is inappropriate"" But you're saying the exact same thing, right? You're complaining about what other people find appropriate.
Nathan McKee He's saying there shouldn't be any limits on jokes. He's not trying to deny any people any freedom. While others are trying to restrict what people can't or can say. Do you truly not see the enormous difference between the two?
I think what’s missed from the discussion is that none of us have some kind of ‘human right’ to go through life without feeling offended. We’ve all been offended and we’ve all offended others. If a comedian offends me with 5% of their jokes and makes me laugh with 50% of their jokes, that’s way better than never offending me and making me laugh with 5% only of their jokes.
I may get shit for this, but I don't like rape jokes because of personal experiences. And yeah, jokes help and maybe someday I may get to a point where I can hear some jokes about it without being reminded of it. But not ONCE will I say someone can't make specific jokes or they are horrible for doing so. I either skip those jokes or tune out if they start to bother me. That's just me though, and I'm probably going to get shit for not liking the jokes and shit but, eh. I voiced my side and opinions on it.
Nah, no-one has a problem with you not liking those types of jokes. That's completely understandable, I'm sure I would feel the same way if I or someone I know had type of shit happen to them. People have a problem with someone telling a person that made a rape joke that you can't make a joke about it because it offends them.
The difference is that you’re not whining and getting needlessly offended by these types of jokes compared to most people on Twitter nowadays. You can be a fan of dark humour and not like these types of jokes, it’s fine as long as you don’t act aggressively or act like a snowflake, which you’re comment isn’t doing, so your good in my book.
Nobody has a problem with you not liking jokes and not tuning them out.
It's a problem if you insist that celebrities that make them be cancelled and brand everyone who makes rape jokes as bad people.
Nice to see Jane's with all her friends in the background
Is that Jane in the back? Adorable!
Fascinating how people can not see and understand humour. Is mankind a really advance speices at this moment? There are a few briliant people carrying our society forward in our train of process, and there are a lot of people trying to slow us down.
Chip is a better promoter than Sirius. Either way, great vid. Thanks radio wizard.
This is partly why Opie and Anthony get such good guests coming back time and again, it's because they let the guests talk. They've got personalities themselves rather than most people who these celebrities are interviewed by, but they don't dominate the conversation.
Erock Army Nigga
It's a sexist term inherently, like n-word is inherently racist and "f*g" is inherently homophobic. You might not intend it that way, but that's what it means, regardless.
You forgot to mention the most under appreciated employee at Sirius XM, Primetime Sam Roberts.
Damn Opie grew an afro! 😂
This was so goddamned funny I stopped paying attention to the video just to LMAO. Well done, Meg.
Great insights into humour...
did anyone else think Ricky grew a beard Because of the microphone in front of his face?
do they record all the shows though? I thought it was just certain guests?
It's funny, I was looking at the picture, while thinking of a Clockwork Orange! Second choice hands down HERE'S JOHNNY!!!
Girl in the background looks amused.
Jimmy's eyes always scare the shit out of me.
The Opie and Anthony show with Jim Norton and Louis CK would be as popular as the Joe Rogan experience if it was a podcast and filmed like this
Just yesterday someone whom I'm friends with on FB posted something about having a dark sense of humor, something about joking about serious topics or whatever. So, me being me and having a somewhat dark sense of humor, I made a holocaust joke. Something about more laughs being dropped on this post then the Jewish population in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Well, the same person who made that post then said that that wasn't funny at all. So I ended up deleting it and even apologizing to that person directly. But then I got even more shit from someone else saying that it was "disgusting" and that I need to "think before I post." Bitch, it's a post about having a dark sense of humor, what do you expect?!?! Lol.
Steve Trowbridge bunch of kids jumping on the bandwagon. People tend to go with the crowd, especially if they think it makes them look better in the group’s eyes.
amazing opinions, Ricky
Look at jimmys tees when he says sirial killers an rapist lol
Thumbnail of this video looks like Ricky has ZZ-Top beard.
Ricky and Jim' discussions are now cast into history and will never be repeated on Sirius, since Sirius fired Anthony for venting about black violence after being physically assaulted by a black woman in the street. basically sirius now has nothing to offer so you will get none of this if you subscribe anymore.
A rape joke is modern sitcoms making men going to prison getting raped in the shower "funny" that's a rape joke.
"Stupid people treat jokes about bad things with the same fear and loathing as intelligent people treat the actual bad things" - that is simply perfect! Here in Brazil, justice is punishing a comedian (Leo Lins) wich made jokes in a show people paid to watch. They're not judges, they are a bunch of brat children running processes, thinking they're making justice...
"This is comedy sweetheart. Somebody's gonna get hurt. Today it was your turn." - Bill Burr.
2:00 I guess he's right
Barbara Streisand was really looking young seated behind Ricky.
So when i hear a joke about a suffering/dying animal, i should say "yeah, that would be a great joke, im just too much involved emotionally, hence i find it offensive. But i shouldnt take offence, because - objectively - the joke was excellent." ("It depends what the joke is.") I think there certainly are moral borders in humour too. Not so many, but there are.
Show this to disney...re-hire James Gunn!
Pause it at 2:36 . He really loves balloons. Also, that's his carer on the far left.
+Matt Puxty no thats his long time partner jane.
+Nelson Kelly I was talking about the host... And it was a joke.
The point of the joke was that Tosh's sister has a sicker sense of humor than he does. So much so, that she finds getting rapped because Daniel replaced her pepper spray with silly string a funny practical joke.
Who are you saving all the O & A footage for? Why cant we ever see more than a few minutes?
Amen.
Lol, pause at 2:36.
I respect you alot more now ricky gervais
there is not enough like on this video. LIIKEEE LIIKEEE MORE PEOPLE LIIKEEE
Why the hell do they keep a Rich Vos picture on their door?
poon likka is a heckler.
Can't relax for a moment and has to judge every tiny detail, it must be hell to be that 'OCD' so I think people should just understand that he/she has a war going on in his/her mind and uhmmm be kind.
is that a picture of Vos on the door
Lol he told the same joke on netflix lol
genius
well spotted mate, im 24 and I would!
the rape joke it’s just because men don’t experience this topic the same way
I spy........ Jane.
< 3
This is an issue that my own opinions are polarized on at times. :/
More video content please
Guy on the right looks fuckin wired lol
Who's that weird Jew fro guy at the end?
Sam
Sam Roberts
WE ARE THE MOST OFFENSIVE COMEDY SHOW ON RUclips!
PROMISE YOU WONT BE LET DOWN
SAM HAS A SHOW??????
I`m not saying that Gervais is a bad comic,just that he`s like most.Pandering to the masses does not make good comedy.
someone tell jess phillips
thankfully Sam is off camera.
Ricky Gervais needs to do a free public show and do the same "(non)rape joke" that Carl Benjamin did.
Our media is creating this outrage through twisting of facts and context, for political gains.
It's got to the point, where the media are now saying that Carl Benjamin "promotes" rape through jokes... This is how politicised its got.
Ricky and other foul-mouthed comedians, should be tripping over themselves to be the ones to defend jokes. But where are they all?
When you see a subject that could be made fun of as untouchable, you're just making it a bigger monster. But thats just my opinion.
Ok, when did he "pander" the masses?
Did... where these clips posted by a bot?
The titles seem done by script.
It's odd, it's like SiruisXM isn't smart enough to make money off of youtube with the footage they have from all the amazing celebrities coming in. The amount of effort I see being put into this is obscene. The fact you can't watch an ad for 30 seconds to access the content and that it's just not available seems to be an odd marketing decision.
Investors should be disappointed Sirius hasn't thought about "branding" and using the comedy connections they have to their advantage.
Nothing grosser than hearing Gervais wax poetic about comedy. I DID however enjoy him smashing O and A even though he was outta line haha
Don’t make a joke about the Spanish Inquisition that is how it started in the first place
I am a bit more flexible. I will laugh at a rape joke as long as nobody in the room has been raped twice.... Yet
I can't stay mad at you, not with that profile picture.
There is no such thing as a right to not be offended.
Rape is not a privilege that cannot be joked about. Those who think it is wrong or inappropriate to joke about rape mindlessly perceive that rape contains something invisibly different from what is included in death, murder, mortality, drugs, wars, mass murders, common themes of jokes in comedy.
No, rape is not different from any of these. Rape is just like any other thing that happens between humans in human societies, not something of great, metaphysical privilege.
I laugh at rape jokes, I am a survivor I dont need anyone to tell me what I find funny or not
I’m so glad jim norton doesn’t exist anymore. Ricky Gervais is so intriguing while he deciphers what comedy means to him. Stuff jim norton and Louis ck couldn’t begin to make interesting.
Gage to each their own, but in my own opinion both lil’ yimmy and Louis ck are among the greatest comedians to exist. I dare say better than Ricky.
And who told you Jim doesn’t exist anymore? He tours all the time.
remember: vietnam can always write a joke about America
Hello Sirius, im the internet, you errr know who I am then? promote O+A properly, will actually benefit you also.
Really?! And how is it 'gross'? Please, tell me. Im curious.
not o&a, j&s
Very well said, kudos guys.
Can't stand this hyped-up-PC-gone-mad society that we live in where if ANYBODY doesn't like ANYTHING then somehow it's wrong and the person has to be maligned.
No. Sometimes it's just a joke, lighten the fuck up.
Ah when you come here after his Humanity special and you realise Ricky in his boundless wisdom tell us this:
''If youre laughing about rape, I dont find it funny, some people do but they are serial killers and rapists''
And then does a whole bit where the literal joke is him being raped and how someone else would be a better target of rape. The guy died laughing at presenting a scene of rape, where the point of the joke is that a christan would be the prime target of rape in hell, taking solid 5 minutes to give you a visual representation of a scene where hes getting raped in hell.
Hes either stupid, suffers from memory loss or is straight up trolling his own fans.
hey, if you don't find it funny then shut up about it, it's not funny, it doesn't cure anything. maybe if it happened to you then you wouldn't find it so hilarious
