i understand that but he said 'our' host as if to say hes british, when hes just not ... just one of those things that annoys me and it happens all to often
By the way, Chris, you're 'meant' to only do so with proper names, such as Jesus. However, I think you can, if you wish, follow the rule across. The key is to be consistent with it. I personally agree with you, the double 's' is silly to me.
My brain doesnt work that fast or probably i dont have much experence watching x factor But can anyone please elaborate the final mic drop from ricky I dont seem to get it fully And yeah i know im dumb
No doubt if his act wins he gets paid more so Ricky Gervais mic drop pretty much meant he'd lose and would have no chance of getting the guy on a recprd deal
What I love about Graham Norton is that he is not afraid to have comedians on his show. A lot of show hosts don't want people to upstage them, but Graham is different. The two of them combined is just priceless, god I love Ricky.
You know what makes this clip funnier? Towards the end, we see Ricky's thought process working. I don't think he immediately settled into the decision to end the call abruptly but rather he flipped through his rolodex of revenge to pick the best way to be humorous, succinct, and impactful. Making that final decision is what makes him a great comedian.
Yeah its a lot like footballers, no? At the top level everyone has wide arsenal of incredible skills, but what separates the great ones is the decisions they make in those final moments in front of the goal
Streatham Soprano Exactly right. It's obviously Ricky's choice to stipulate any (reasonable) variation in pronunciation, but if I hadn't heard it, I'd drop the "s" as well. But then again, I took French in high school.

I LOVE Danny Evans!! He sent me an autographed picture along with his CD, and I've enjoyed hearing him on RUclips the past 5 years. I love going back there and I do feel like Louis was hard on him. I was crying when he sang "To where you are" and as he took a breath, you could easily hear a cry in his voice. He was truly singing to his deceased wife that night. I love Louis also but he has been harsh at times.
Whoa whoa whoa - can we stop all this egg bashing please? What have eggs ever done? Why drag them into it? Hard enough life as it is without their name being hauled through the mud on RUclips...
I love Ricky, he's from where i used to live, born in the same town, never met him, but by god he's good... done a lot of good work for charity since becoming famous, good on ya Ricky! you'll always be top of the pops with me!
Louis pronounce it right tho, in an old XFM show Rickys mum phoned up and said "Tell him to stop call you Gervais (Pronounce the way everyone does) your name is Garvey (Still spelt Gervais but pronounced that way)
Such a strange clip because Gervais himself is notorious for looking like a lesbian in most pictures including in this very clip. He really is the master of irony.
HostDisorder That's how this was brought up. They were talking about how much Gervais looks like an lesbian, and Graham transitioned into this clip by going "Speaking of men who look like old lesbians..." and cutting to the pic of Louis.
His Mum used to phone him up on his old XFM radio show and tell him off for pronouncing his own name wrong. His dad was French Canadian. It's meant to be pronounced 'Ger-vay', and that was how he pronounced it growing up. Dunno why he changed it; just to make it easier I suppose.
Felix Burke you're right. On the old XFM radio shows, he used to ring his mum up every now and then and she kept on telling him to stop pronouncing the 's'. Nevertheless, Ricky chose to say it the English way. :D
I love how in the UK our host can call a random celebrity an old lesbian
+Xwag F nice excuse to slag someone off. "freedom of speech"
and the "stupid cun" joke too! Never in america...
he's not your host , he's Irish ... typical British claiming things that ain't theirs !!
He's doing in on UK tv....doesn't happen on RTE.
i understand that but he said 'our' host as if to say hes british, when hes just not ... just one of those things that annoys me and it happens all to often
Legend has it that Louis is still explaining why his act should win to this day.
+Michael Heffernan true!
He know he is. 😂
Gervais's brain works so fast
By the way, Chris, you're 'meant' to only do so with proper names, such as Jesus. However, I think you can, if you wish, follow the rule across. The key is to be consistent with it. I personally agree with you, the double 's' is silly to me.
Warhammer Workshop k
When you only got one brain cell it's alot faster to pick one to use lol
Lee mack is faster
@Chokwe Hahaha Jackass.
That is a proper "fuck off" implied at the end, isn't it?
ricky's cackling laugh is fucking amazing
“Hello, it’s Ricky Gervay”
Ricky Gervais handled his revenge brilliantly. Too funny.
My brain doesnt work that fast or probably i dont have much experence
watching x factor
But can anyone please elaborate the final mic drop from ricky
I dont seem to get it fully
And yeah i know im dumb

Ricky Gervai it is
six years later, he still gets an applause for this (from me).
Your hands must be sore.
yup
Aleca Snicket That makes two of us.
feralferret Well worth the pain! lol
1 year after your comment he still gets my applause too
Thug life moment for Rickey Gervay
+Dionys84 Ikr I was waiting for the sunglasses to show up xD
Dropped that micro(phone) like a baws.
@Rob Rob Gervè
His whole life is a thug life moment. All he ever does is win. Absolute legend.
Genius way of returning the potshot by Ricky Gervay.
But how DO you pronounce his name?
Steph Eff the same way Americans pronounce "vase"
Victory sip at the end lol
This just genius, quick thinking from Gervais! I sometimes don't like him but he is a genius at what he does and his body of work is among the best.
It's so funny because Louis doesn't mean to be offensive he just does it naturally XD
good definition of stupid :)
what the fuck is a louis
He's a prick - why is he on primetime national TV?
AMpufnstuf Are you paying attention?
No he was definitely trying to be funny here and got smacked down beautifully by Gervais.
What I love about Graham Norton is that he is not afraid to have comedians on his show. A lot of show hosts don't want people to upstage them, but Graham is different. The two of them combined is just priceless, god I love Ricky.
And Louis Walsh's bubbly personality came through and made the segment funnier 😅
I absolutely Ricky's expression at 3.29..."it's on now, son"...
The shinyness of Thandie Newton's legs could blind a man!
silentbob82 It's spray-on gloss.
Streatham Soprano Thanks for killing the punchline
Er...you're welcome?
silentbob82 she is stunning
It looks like greasy chicken.

I love when comedians are put in these kind of one-the-spot situations and you really get to see just how witty and funny they are.
‘Why did he give his number to a gay man’?! 😂😂
Graham Norton And Louis Walsh Are Both Gay
@@conordillon374 That is the joke Conor, well done we're proud of u lil buddy.
LOL victory sipping like a boss
This just genius, quick thinking from Gervais! I sometimes don't like him but he is a genius at what he does and his body of work is among the best.
Mike Roper agree
Mike Roper I'm just glad god made him an atheist.
Dude is hilarious
Loved it how Ricky hung up on him!!! Applause to that!!
Ricky Gervais is HILARIOUS. His laughter cracks me up
Louis, get REKT. Dayum.
Absolutely brilliant! Perfect comic timing which results in one on the most hilarious clips in Norton's history XD
Gets more hilarious every time
thats how celebrity beef starts
God shes gorgeous and still looks stunning now...
In fairness, we do look alike. Funny though. Louis was exactly how you imagine him to be.
Didn't think you'd comment 😂😂
Jesus, dan, what’re you doing here lol
"Talking of men who look like old lesbians..."
BEST LINK EVER! Wonderful way to start xD
Ricky's mum said that is how you're supposed to say it though.
It is, it's French, but never mind. Most people don't seem to notice the name origin
Well played ricky well played indeed
Ricky gervai.....class!
mofizul That's the correct pronounciation; it's a French name, apparently.
Streatham Soprano Exactly right. It's obviously Ricky's choice to stipulate any (reasonable) variation in pronunciation, but if I hadn't heard it, I'd drop the "s" as well. But then again, I took French in high school.
+lafayette1964 He had heard it though. He's famous.
One of his parents us French Canadian and there it is pronounced without the s.
ya thats how ive always pronounce it
Ricky should have started off by saying "Hi Lewis it's Ricky Gervai." Give Louis a taste of it.
+Madison St. Claire But that's what he did...
+BadassRandomness 'Lewis'
DaProHobbit Ahh ok, sorry for that haha
I think Louis Wal would've been better--as I truly think Walsh has no idea he's left the off of Gervais' surname.
I was waiting for that comeback and he absolutely delivered.
You've got to hand it to him - Ricky is hilarious xD
When Ricky reeled Louie in at the end so he could hang up on him was hilarious. I nearly died laughing.
...drop it like it's a telemarketer. Classic Gervai - love it.
They call that: The Call Drop. Replacing The Mic Drop.
My brain doesnt work that fast or probably i dont have much experence
watching x factor
But can anyone please elaborate the final mic drop from ricky
I dont seem to get it fully
And yeah i know im dumb
Epic payback ! hahaha :)
I LOVE Danny Evans!! He sent me an autographed picture along with his CD, and I've enjoyed hearing him on RUclips the past 5 years. I love going back there and I do feel like Louis was hard on him.

Simon Pegg is hilarious in this interview!
Im not the only one who thinks they look the same
I thought Id seen all the ricky gervais videos...but they just keep popping up...and its awesome!
This has to be the best “stupid cun” hahHahahHhhah
Ricky is just to halarious. I crack up every time this man says anything. Graham is also very amusing. Love this video.
that's a great impersonation of louis
its actually him you egg
i meant ricky gervais impersonation you egg
Whoa whoa whoa - can we stop all this egg bashing please? What have eggs ever done? Why drag them into it? Hard enough life as it is without their name being hauled through the mud on RUclips...
Bad eggs the lot of ya!
keep this converSation going.its eggcellent...
Hahaha, that Ricky Gervai
Ricky is such a class act, I fucking love him.
Brilliant idea for a prank. Call someone, ask for an opinion and as soon as they start talking - hang up.
Savage😁
Brilliant Ricky.
Like a boss XD
I can't get over how amazing he is for hanging up!
i cannot even begin to fathom how hilarious ricky gervais is...
That was brilliant.
That is savage. 😂
No that is a Lion ripping to shreds its prey not a person having a laugh on the phone.
Genuinely my favorite Graham Norton moment!
i love the casual sip of wine he takes after he hangs up. brilliant.
Ricky is slick as fuck
Like a boss.
Ricky gervais is so adorable in his own little way. I just want to hug him
I've watched this clip many times and I laugh every single time. Really loudly.
"I'd crunch Thandie Newton
like a candied crouton."
Lol genius
I love Ricky, he's from where i used to live, born in the same town, never met him, but by god he's good... done a lot of good work for charity since becoming famous, good on ya Ricky! you'll always be top of the pops with me!
Legend has it that Louis is still explaining why his act should win (9 years later)
Thandie Newton is absolutely gorgeous..
Zero personality though.
@@Scallion_D why
@Kourgan Er yeah I do. I've seen many interviews involving her.
Louis pronounce it right tho, in an old XFM show Rickys mum phoned up and said "Tell him to stop call you Gervais (Pronounce the way everyone does) your name is Garvey (Still spelt Gervais but pronounced that way)
Callum Davage Exactly. Steve took the mick out of him for that at least 2 episodes in a row.
Too french sounding?
Hahaha cutting someone off is so childish but so funny on a show like this. Louis actually started a genuine answer too!
Man ricky is so incredibly sharp. Not surprising he's done so well
classic!!
lol the guy looks like a cross between Ricky Gervais and Seth MacFarlane!
"Hello, Ricky Gervai here" - beautiful.
I love Ricky's laugh!
They would never be able to do this after the Brand/Ross infamous phone call!
That's right, 3 people complain and they get thrown of the radio.
Yo man.. That's rude... I do look cute in that picture
Friendzone.
Naughty you, Mr. Fripp.
I laughed so much when ricky hung up i love him hes awesome
ending that call was so brilliant and so Ricky
Remember when Ricky used to take the piss out of norton on XFM...
"It's like someone calling him a stupid cun" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
That end was GOLD.
Outstanding behaviour Ricky
...and rightly so
T.V Gold !
AAAAHAHAHA, SUCH a good end, Ricky nails it!
Ricky, that's why I fell in love with you for the thousandth time! 😂❤️

While this is pretty hilarious, I can't help but feel sorry for Louis sometimes...
Yeah, me too. Sorry that he can't stop acting like a tit.
Oh stop it. .it's only a bit of banter...
This makes me laugh every time I watch it. And that has been many times.
RICKY GERVAIS.....PURE GOLD! one of a kind.
Sorry I am not a native english speaker, what Louis said at the minute 3:18
fulangator He's saying that Daniel died his hair that week.
(that means he changed the colour of his that week)
SJtheWhovian Thank you very much, I was a little obsessed with that part of the video :)
:D
+Sarah Jane Smith *dyed. I wouldn't have corrected you, but it is an important distinction to make. Also, great name. 🔵☎️📦
The name Gervais was originally French so the "S" isn't pronounced. It's pronounced: gervai or gervay,,.
Frenchies are pretty stupid though..
Pronunciation is contextual and cultural - It's person specific when it comes to names basically.
His Mum used to phone him up on his old XFM radio show and tell him off for pronouncing his own name wrong. His dad was French Canadian. It's meant to be pronounced 'Ger-vay', and that was how he pronounced it growing up. Dunno why he changed it; just to make it easier I suppose.

thefartydoctor What you've just said sounds awful familiar...
ricky is nothing short of bloody brilliant..
And, that’s why we love Ricky.... lol.
I just...
Jesus christ that woman was so shiny. WTF
me old irishman
not lesbian
21st century Irish maaaaaaaan!
Thandie Newton can sit there saying nothing and still draw every eye in the room.
hahahahaha oh the hang up. CLASSIC!
