@Polish Afrikaner Referring to Nihilism isn't something one sees on social media every day. In this case, I agree that it is the most appropriate description of Gervais' beliefs. I applaud him for it. It must be a very freeing feeling. Bravo!
He might be THE best. I've never seen anyone who's off-the-cuff humor is so insightful, so right-on and hilarious.... better even then Robin Williams or Jonathan Winters.
Ricky is just brutally honest and says what everyone else darn't say. That's why he's so funny. He gives no shits. This his is be if I had the guts to do it.
It's just funny cause there's nothing else to laugh of. British sense of humour is just cause it's there...and you can ran away from it. It's not super hilarious, it's just something to do
One exception. Well not really I guess since Craig Ferguson might be a host of an American talk show, but he is Scottish. But there is a reason Ricky told Craig he had the best show and was the most fun to be on. Well worth a watch if you havent seen those Late Night clips with Craig and Ricky
The man's got a mouth on him, but he is hilariously quick-witted. I don't think he can be beat. He also tells the truth, usually, in a very funny way. I love seeing the actors get uncomfortable at awards shows. Brings me such joy.
He very well could have a “genius level” IQ, or very close to it. The average person is 100. Genius is 140-180, according to Google. I think Google is stretching, because I’m 135 and don’t have that wit at all. He very well could be 160+. Add maximizing one’s potential and you get a consistently higher than average thinker/creator. It’s possible to have a genius with 165, and a bigger genius at 200. Just because he’s not THE smartest doesn’t mean he’s not smart af. Also let someone use words colloquially and not demand exact description. I strung up curtains the other day and decided after doing that, I must be a genius.
I love him! He is hilarious! Him hosting the golden globes was epic, he didn’t care about offending anyone or how, rich, famous they are! Tore egos to shreds!
@G Falk I know this is SUPER LATE but I meant anybody who comes onto her show and tells any sort of joke lol Truth be told I didn't even know I had a comment on this vid xD Just glanced down and was like oh shit lmao
Out of all the American shows he was on, I love the reaction of Conan’s the best, he isn’t as uncomfortable as other hosts when Ricky’s just roaming free
that quote is paraphrasing Philippe Geluck , stop quoting him on that. “When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful & difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.” -Philippe Geluck
He is hilarious! I first saw him in Ghost Town and he made me laugh so hard seriously! Loved love that line when he talks to this dead nurse... "show it some attention and it follows you home." I use it sometimes, hahaha! He's hilarious!
I love everything about this man! A person can watch one of his stand-up specials or KZclip clips and end up walking away with a multitude of feelings/emotions. I always find myself sad that what I've just watched is over. Physically, I'm left with a face and abs that ache from laughter. And perhaps most of all, he's given me conflicting thoughts; somehow I end up feeling both smarter, having just learned things that are never really taught in any classroom, while at the same time feeling dumb or ignorant for never even asking the questions that he's just answered through comedy. He's one seriously intelligent, insightful, philosophical, and hilarious genius!! My all-time favorite, so far above the competition that he's practically in a league all his own.
Should’ve added some clips from his appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And the expression Jimmy Fallon has when Ricky says “pendulous testicles” is flawless.
One of the funniest people on the planet. I always share Ricky Gervais jokes with the friends and family and they look at me like I'm bonkers. I love him and admire Jane for her sticktoitness!
Ricky is such a wonderful human in his own way Edit: It's just so incredible how, at the 5 second rule game, it seems he thinks of a legit answer, then proceeds to think of a funnier one
Lots to like about Ricky, but nothing more than when he laughs, because you can tell he's really tickled and it's completely genuine--unlike other celebrity types whose laughing is completely put on. Funny, funny man.
You know a sharp comedian when other comedians can't keep up with them, they either nod or laugh hysterically at something they seem they didn't even understand.
The best Host on the Golden Globes award show ever 👏 They were just the funniest jokes Most took it well There were a few tho that couldn't take a joke 😄 And at the beginning he did tell them Not to be so serious There just jokes You have to be able to laugh at yourselves sometimes
I don't know much about this man and I'm not a very big fan of his but this man is arguably one of the funniest ppl alive or prolly ever lived. When he says he doesn't care he actually means it.
One of the funniest and the most contagiously pessimistic positive people on the earth.
@Simon Petrikov yea, that's what I said... ???
@Karen Berino he isn't a Nihilist. He believes he has purpose and can change the world in a good way
@Karen Berino thank you, you're one of the cool Karens 😊
@Polish Afrikaner Referring to Nihilism isn't something one sees on social media every day. In this case, I agree that it is the most appropriate description of Gervais' beliefs. I applaud him for it. It must be a very freeing feeling. Bravo!
I would say he's more of a nihilist but for comedic purposes
Who’s on Ricky Gervais marathon after the globes! He absolutely killed the monologue
Watched Ricky years before those sham awards
Guilty!
Imagine having to follow that, nope, I’ll wait till next year 🤣🤣😀😀
Me in 2022
must be your first time you seen Ricky
Ricky....one of the best because he is honest, doesn't give a sh^t...and is right spot on 99.9 % of the time....
@dwightward1 Russell brand is the same. A bit more animated and wriggly 🤣🤣 but just come out with whatever pops into his head. Love Russell and Ricky
He might be THE best. I've never seen anyone who's off-the-cuff humor is so insightful, so right-on and hilarious.... better even then Robin Williams or Jonathan Winters.
He's the perfect representation of our British Sarcasm, if you don't love him you're a liar 🤣
Ricky is just brutally honest and says what everyone else darn't say. That's why he's so funny. He gives no shits. This his is be if I had the guts to do it.
It's just funny cause there's nothing else to laugh of. British sense of humour is just cause it's there...and you can ran away from it. It's not super hilarious, it's just something to do
@Mi you should look up what is humour.
@Ammo you should look up sarcasm
He’s genius. Think faster than a computer. Making bacons. Lmao
So how can he really be vegan? Huh?
The "Makin Bacon" phrase has been around since the 70s.
@Imre Kalman PC is faster - just don't say anything at all!
@p yup, for sale by mail order in most decent music papers/magazines (Sounds, NME etc)
@Miguel Urdaci I remember in the '70's they sold sew on patches for your jeans and the making bacon one with 2 pigs mating was popular.
It’s weird how slick and rigid US talkshow comics are. Introduce a bit of chaos and they look really uncomfortable
I feel maybe that they are slower in thinking...in that they have to be carefull in what they are saying....Brits..in general could not care..a .....
@Rawiri LOVE Dame Edna, Miss her
@Jérémy Bouchez ROFL! Man it isnt the 50s ;)
@Jon E Depth Agree 100% Craig was absolutely the best
One exception. Well not really I guess since Craig Ferguson might be a host of an American talk show, but he is Scottish. But there is a reason Ricky told Craig he had the best show and was the most fun to be on. Well worth a watch if you havent seen those Late Night clips with Craig and Ricky
He totally destroyed Ellen on her game show.
she looks uncomfortable as she knew he is better than her, actually we can't compare.
Yes
@MaximMate uhhhhhh you aged so poorly wait were you defending Ellen?
"I wouldn't call someone a ginger Frankenstein" lmao
@Paulafan5 Love, him and Karl have been friends for YEARS. It's all banter, get off your high horse and grow a sense of humour, please
Its impressive how all Ellen bits are just unfunny
Came to post this
I like how he constantly attacks people's appearance (ie Karl Pilkington) and looks like THAT.
Imagine a joint hosted show with Ramsay and Gervais ? jeez
They could call it "The Two Twats."
They did appear together and had a great time. Ramsey adores him.
@Stephanie Sims Nice one.
I love how much the Jane stuff makes him laugh, he's in stitches
@Stephanie Grace NO!
Wasn't she his co-star on "Extras" back in the day?
I love a funny man, he will still have the soul of a child when he will get older. Love that !
Ricky Gervais
@Diane Overcash whats an rg
Ricky is such a natural comedian. He comes up with stuff off the cuff constantly. He gets paid to do what he loves. What a funny guy.
Not at all - check his stand-up. He tries far too hard, just like Robin Williams
The man's got a mouth on him, but he is hilariously quick-witted. I don't think he can be beat. He also tells the truth, usually, in a very funny way. I love seeing the actors get uncomfortable at awards shows. Brings me such joy.
You can tell he is a genius when be said The toy story 1, 2, 3.
He very well could have a “genius level” IQ, or very close to it. The average person is 100. Genius is 140-180, according to Google. I think Google is stretching, because I’m 135 and don’t have that wit at all. He very well could be 160+. Add maximizing one’s potential and you get a consistently higher than average thinker/creator.
It’s possible to have a genius with 165, and a bigger genius at 200. Just because he’s not THE smartest doesn’t mean he’s not smart af.
Also let someone use words colloquially and not demand exact description. I strung up curtains the other day and decided after doing that, I must be a genius.
@Be Nice righhhhhtt...... don't quit your dayjob!
nope
And tell that you are NOT cause it's just
Toy story.
Not The
@Be Nice 2:09
ellen looks so disinterested with him, but will laugh for days with someone like Justin Bieber...
@Fofia really a sweet heart? I find her rude and making guest feel uncomfortable and not funny
@Ankur Kumar Choudhary stop! I’m gonna wet my pants! Bwahahahaha🤣🤣!
Good point
Ellen is "Technically" a Comedian and the best material she can come up with is
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,"
What a f... waist of prime time Ellen
Ellen was excellent as the voice of Dora,
that's all I guess.
Right? I skiped that part. It madr me unclmfortsble. Is as she dorsn't even care about her own show and expects Ricky to dk her job
Was just thinking that ahahah
I thinks it was because she was trying to rush him along because his answers wernt pg.
I love him! He is hilarious! Him hosting the golden globes was epic, he didn’t care about offending anyone or how, rich, famous they are! Tore egos to shreds!
Ricky is brilliant, his laugh is infectious 😂
I love that he also finds himself hilarious as hes making jokes and comments it’s brilliant
Literally any human being: *tells a joke*
Ellen: "Ya, ya, ya, ya..... ya, ya, ya, ya..."
@G Falk I know this is SUPER LATE but I meant anybody who comes onto her show and tells any sort of joke lol
Truth be told I didn't even know I had a comment on this vid xD Just glanced down and was like oh shit lmao
I’d rather Fallon’s laugh
@joe joseph PIZZA
SPORTS!
what do you mean by "literally any human being" it's out of context
Love, love Ricky Gervais, never ever fails to make me laugh, he is naturally gifted.
Just love your work Ricky: clever, witty, truthful, honest and always hilarious!! Thank you for making me laugh (and think)!
@Ricky Gervais Nice try mate 😆
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
I love watching the hosts get nervous around Ricky because they know he has no filter lmao
Out of all the American shows he was on, I love the reaction of Conan’s the best, he isn’t as uncomfortable as other hosts when Ricky’s just roaming free
When he comes on Ellen you suddenly realize Ellen is not that funny.
Neither is Fallon funny!
Americans rarely know how to be funny. You cannot beat British comedy!
@dwightward1 No. Humor never goes too far.
@dwightward1 No. Humor never goes too far.
1:28 His comedic timing is A+. That face!
Always love Ricky Gervais’ humor!
He reached stratosphere status after his epic Golden Globes monologue 👏
I just love him! He always makes me laugh!!
I adore Ricky Gervais , he is so very funny
Everything Ricky does is comedic gold, from "The office" to "After life" and his stand up is spot on.
Toy Story 1,2,3 I mean he’s not wrong
This rivals the 3 oscar winners answer: Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep 😂
Metal Maniac she definitely didn’t think it would go like that
How can forget about Wilson? Lol
Always brilliant and delightfully humorous.
I love Ricky! Thanks for starting my day off with laughter! ❤️🤣
I always look for Ricky's name on talk shows or award shows because he is hilarious. He really makes me laugh
You know he's good when Ramsay's smiling in constant fear.
He's so open minded... he turn his wisdom into comedy..
I dont care about being dead. Thats the best part. Its like being stupid, its only painful for others.
SPORTS!
@David Broughall yup, you're right.
Your comment made me feel sad for them.
that quote is paraphrasing Philippe Geluck , stop quoting him on that. “When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful & difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.” -Philippe Geluck
Ricky is unbelievably gifted with his raw wits and humor. Love how he tears up Hollywood too.
He is such a 'breath of fresh air'... Needed now more than ever. That face - wide grin and smiling eyes... What more could you want...
He's such a joy to watch.
Ricky Gervais marathon whenever I'm depressed. I love you Ricky!💜
Ricky is a gem. Thank you for posting this and giving me a good laugh. I needed it.
Hilarious! this man is truly a legend, such a gem in the realm of western comedy. Jimmy Fallon on the other hand.....
I could watch him ALL DAY
He is hilarious! I first saw him in Ghost Town and he made me laugh so hard seriously!
Loved love that line when he talks to this dead nurse... "show it some attention and it follows you home." I use it sometimes, hahaha! He's hilarious!
I love everything about this man! A person can watch one of his stand-up specials or KZclip clips and end up walking away with a multitude of feelings/emotions. I always find myself sad that what I've just watched is over. Physically, I'm left with a face and abs that ache from laughter. And perhaps most of all, he's given me conflicting thoughts; somehow I end up feeling both smarter, having just learned things that are never really taught in any classroom, while at the same time feeling dumb or ignorant for never even asking the questions that he's just answered through comedy. He's one seriously intelligent, insightful, philosophical, and hilarious genius!! My all-time favorite, so far above the competition that he's practically in a league all his own.
Putting Ricky and Conan together equals comedy gold.
Love Gervais with a passion. Soooooo clever. ❤❤❤
Should’ve added some clips from his appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And the expression Jimmy Fallon has when Ricky says “pendulous testicles” is flawless.
He's hilarious 🤣 Love his accent...
He must be a really scary man to have as a guest. Truly, madly unpredictable. And way smarter than whomever is sitting in front of him.
I love Ricky Gervais. He's so funny.
Never knew he was so funny ,he's awesome 💗😂
I truly truly love this man, he has it all…..brains, humor, talent, looks & a fantastic laugh!!!❤️
I just love Ricky’s humor! Always makes me laugh.
He's so funny he genuinely makes himself laugh...which is infectious and makes everyone else laugh.
One of the funniest people on the planet. I always share Ricky Gervais jokes with the friends and family and they look at me like I'm bonkers. I love him and admire Jane for her sticktoitness!
I really didn't know much about him till his series after life. Since then I can't get enough of him.
Ricky's face @1:29 is one of my favourite talk show moments ever.
What I like about Ricky is that he always let's us know when we're supposed to be laughing via laughing way too much himself.
He is a hero . Hollywood stars are hypocrites
@Jnetta58 he can and he did work long before Hollywood wanted him, there is more than the usa.
Not all of us.
He's one of them. Don't be deceived. He couldn't work if he weren't.
yeah some are so self centered
How can anyone beat his humor,it’s one of it kind
2.29. Now I know why he's funny, he sees humor in every aspect of life and event. True genius !
Love Ricky Gervais!! He is too funny!
Always puts a smile on my face!
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
Ricky Gervais is a class act. 😂😂😂😂😂
Get this man his own talk show!
Ricky is such a wonderful human in his own way
Edit: It's just so incredible how, at the 5 second rule game, it seems he thinks of a legit answer, then proceeds to think of a funnier one
Ricky is so hilarious. Thanks for these.
Lots to like about Ricky, but nothing more than when he laughs, because you can tell he's really tickled and it's completely genuine--unlike other celebrity types whose laughing is completely put on. Funny, funny man.
brilliant mind and hilarious as always this Ricky.
Ricky is a gift to the world.
Does he have his own talk show? If he doesn't, he surely deserves one!
Love Ricky hilarious stuff ❤
Hilarious! I love Ricky Gervais 🥰
love watching this guy he's so funny x
Could watch Ricky 24/7....Bring back the GOLDEN GLOBES.....
*as the host of an award ceremony he is a legend and as a guest of a host show he is a legend*
I'll watch anything Gervais does because he says all the rude stuff that I would love to have the nerve to say when I'm sober.
You know a sharp comedian when other comedians can't keep up with them, they either nod or laugh hysterically at something they seem they didn't even understand.
"Mum, when can we afford a scarecrow?" - Ricky Gervais
The tweets about his wife had me screaming with laughter
Love this man who goes where no one else would venture and best of all….he does it so well
So I'm not the only one on a Ricky Gervais spree after the GG this year
lol me too
His Harvey Weinstein joke was next level savagery😂
Joan Holliman Was it Craig Fugerson? He's the only one who made me laugh like hell!
Yeah.
Just recently watched 2 of his stand ups on Netflix and my God is he funny, him and Dave chappelle is definitely 2 of my favorites
One of the best comedian 👏
Simply one of the most quick wits ever to grace the planet!
This guy is a comedic genius
I adore this guy, he’s amazing!!! Also, David letterman, Jimmy, etc!!!
The best Host on the Golden Globes award show ever 👏 They were just the funniest jokes Most took it well There were a few tho that couldn't take a joke 😄 And at the beginning he did tell them Not to be so serious There just jokes You have to be able to laugh at yourselves sometimes
He is better than most of today's comedians.
I could watch him forever !!!
Laughter…. The best medicine worldwide. 💙
I don't know much about this man and I'm not a very big fan of his but this man is arguably one of the funniest ppl alive or prolly ever lived. When he says he doesn't care he actually means it.
Thank you...this was fun! I just love Ricky Gervais'es sense of humor.
He should have his own talk show
Freaking awesome
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Look forward to more ❤️
I could watch Ricky and Ellen all day.
No one makes me laugh harder that Ricky xx
One of my fave comedian/actors!
Thank you I needed a laugh today, before I handle something stressful and NOT fun. Now I am relaxed and ready!
