lol Ricky Gervais
 

Nice generalisation there

His more obsessed with Religious people than they are of him.

Oh be quiet Kill Joy :idc:

Very true Mock

Sign of a **** comedian

I suppose Frankie Boyle is more your cup of tea :idc:

Gervais just crosses the line with offensive jokes like this

:laugh:

great tweet

Indeed Mr. Shag :pipe:

Yes because religion says it's impossible to jump from space

he's an idiot

I get the feeling this thread didn't get quite the reception Niamh was expecting

Well i for one aren't surprised by the lack of respect shown by this man towards the good lord

he's one of those guys who thinks he's really smart and in reality is not

he did bring us Karl Pilkington though so I can forgive him

Gervais' tweets about religion are brilliant, and the response he gets to them is even better. Especially his sarcastic replies to those people.

Well said Jack :pipe:

No accounting for taste Matthew :idc:

This type of my Atheist gets on my ****ing nerves! Not because they're atheist but because they think they're so smart and know it alls and make it their daily duty to prove that science/technology is true force behind everything, even my poo.

and tell every single person they meet that they're an atheist straight away. Very tiring.

I told you he was a dickhead.

His stand-up is better when he doesn't blather on about Noah's Ark. :idc:

I agree it's like their who existance revolves around god not being real. Whereas most athiests dont give a ****.

/hate how all religion is put under the same boat. Let him think he is funny though.

He is the emperors new clothes of funny....he isn't really, apart from the david brent thing.
And don't get me started on his latest venture....that thread is immortalised for the controversy it courted.

The Office (overrated though), Extras, and his podcast(though mostly due to Karl Pilkington) were good everything else he's done has been terrible

Ricky G is an unfunny douchebag.

hating Ricky Gervais is basically either

a) falling for his act
b) a massive sign of stupidity

he's the greatest British comedy writer of the 21st century. Fact. And anyone who didn't even get a small laugh out of his stints hosting the Golden Globes is lying to themselves.

Ricky Gervais just isn't funny imo, and his version of The Office is so painful that I can't give any other version a chance.

Its not very often you are right but you are on this occasion.

Hmm wouldn't go as far as saying he's the greatest of the 21st century. And I did enjoy him grilling the uppity celebs at golden globes but majority of the time it was more ohhh :shocked: no he di' nt! Rather than ROFLMAO

Hero.

:worship:

Ricky Gervais, much like Frankie Boyle, makes me laugh and he makes me cringe too. What I don't get is the adoration of Ricky Gervais on this thread, and the absolute screaming hatred of Frankie Boyle on another. On the Frankie Boyle thread people are moaning that he ridicules disabled people. Ricky Gervais freely uses the word 'mong' and is unapologetic. Frankie Boyle is branded a racist while Ricky Gervais gets a laugh out of the Holocaust. They're cut from the same cloth, so I don't understand how one is worse than the other.

Agree with this. He's a comedy genius.

I disagree with that. Yeah, Gervais might have a few questionable jokes but not the majority of his stuff imo and certainly not his TV shows. Not that I have a "screaming hatred" for Frankie Boyle anyway, I find him unfunny and the majority of stuff seems to be tasteless drivel.

This

I like The Office, but other than that what has he done that's so memorable? :shrug:

Extras, presented the Golden Globes 3 years running........

I don't like Extras. I think he's ok, but he's not my favourite comedian.
