I honestly cannot stand him. I find nothing about him funny whatsoever. His writing is creative, that I'll give you that.

ricky is well overated as a stand up act,
the office was very funny beacuse it was fresh,it had lots of other great charachters.
ricky in the company of karl pilkington and stephen merchant, also works due to the comedy energy between them.
without the office we would not even be talking about rickygervais.

Maybe "screaming hatred" was a little strong LOL...

From a personal point of view I found Gervais's Holocaust jokes extremely tasteless. I suppose it depends on your point of view what's funny and what's not. There is no right answer.

Yes of course it was, I'm not going to defend him on that one, I do believe somethings shouldn't be joked about, but in general I do find him funny
