Kinda hard to take his whole "telling the truth to celebrities" thing seriously when he himself is a celebrity and is friends with these people lmfao.

u/MechaNutzilla 5h ago
In general, the way he still sees himself as working class, and think that makes it ok for him to shit on immigrants and transpeople, because "take that political correct liberal elite".. He just is a super rich person, that get a kick out of punching down.

Ok, I’ll bite… what BS reason do you have for saying he shits on immigrants and trans people?

She openly does this. You're questioning her honesty, not her critics.

Utter lies. You twist the truth and expect to be taken seriously when the objective facts couldn’t be clearer.
But I hazard a guess you’ve never actually gone deeper than TikTok slop on the matter

He shits on trans people and immigrants constantly you muppet. He's not referencing some obscure tweet or an interview, Gervais shits on both groups constantly in his stand-ups. You can type "Gervais trans" or "Gervais immigrants" on youtube and witness it yourself.

Mostly jokes that he thinks "transwomen is not real women", "women don't have dicks, haha" and the old boring "if I get my legs removed and get wheels on can I identify as a car? hahah"..
With immigrants he is just repeating the right wingers tweets, but in a jokey way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVClLPauojQ

u/Asalth 4h ago
Dude if you care enough about Ricky to be defending him this hard then you know exactly what everyone is talking about. Stop being purposefully obtuse.
Ans before you say "oh so you can't give a direct quote" you were already send those and responded on your alt with "but I agree". You can agree with it but its still transphobic.
-2
u/Top_Conference_477 4h ago
You guys are a broken record. Substantiate literally anything you’ve said.
I’m not here to defend Gervais. Not the biggest fan, to be honest. I just find your pseudo-logic and complete lack of substance entertaining as hell.
4
u/Asalth 4h ago
You were already sent it both for Gervais and also JK Rowling who you decided to bring up because you're just looking to argue without responding to anyone's actual points.
I could link him saying any transphobic thing he's ever said and you'd either not respond or just say "But I agree so it can't be transphobic". Why would I waste half an hour looking for his tweet celebrating the UK removing half of its trans rights laws when you'll just respond with "But celebrating trans rights being revoked isn't transphobic".
I know that because people already did sent what you're asking for. Of course I can't find something transphobic he's said that you'll take issue with because you're also transphobic. The only reason you're commenting about him and also bringing up JKR is because you know what they've both said (or done in Rowling's case) and agree with it. You have all of the evidence you're pretending to want.
About 90% of the defence for transphobia people give is saying "well tell me the exact example" and then saying "That doesn't count because I agree, give me a real one". You agree with all of them dude. Of course you don't take issue with it.

u/JoyBus147 2h ago
People glaze Mark Ruffalo for using his platform to promote justice. Don't think I've ever seen him roast, like, Taylor Swift or something. Ricky Gervais does not have a similar moral commitment, does not seem to have strong moral principles of any kind, and is thus a poor comparison.

u/tacobaeKL 5h ago
The thing I know he criticized most was celebrities with political causes. He said take your award and sit down basically. I don't think he's used his influence for political or social causes.
9
u/NeddieSeagoon619 5h ago edited 4h ago
He's famously a very vocal atheist. Like it or not, that's a social cause. And his use of his platform at the Golden Globes to say celebrities should be criticised for expressing their personal beliefs at awards shows was very hypocritically him using his influence to express a political stance.

u/tacobaeKL 4h ago
That is a solid point. I would argue that since Americans live in a "In God We Trust" society atheist, especially funny ones, get a little more leeway.

Oh the real issue comes out. Whatever he said about Trans. Does everyone you like have the exact same opinions as you?

u/Banes_Addiction 4h ago
No.
The thing about some old comedians though, is they stop writing jokes. They just do political rants in the tone of voice that makes it sound like a stand-up show, without ever actually saying anything funny.
2
u/NeddieSeagoon619 4h ago
It's pretty noticeable that literally every account defending Ricky Gervais on this thread has a similar level of being generally incoherent and then getting notably pissy when trans people get brought up. There is clearly only a specific demographic who still like the cunt.

I'm not pissy. I'm just weird and like to instigate arguments with keyboard social justice warriors.

That’s not him on Instagram either. It’s a social media manager employed by his PR team, same as it is with every celebrity
And why did you use the subreddit as an example if you knew it was BS?

u/MaesterHannibal 4h ago
In his most recent special, he spends quite a bit of time talking about the monologue, reciting his one-liners and giving the audience the origin of them. It was pretty funny, but he also just wont shut up about the monologue

u/Top_Conference_477 4h ago
But you can’t quote or show examples?
Telling new jokes about the most famous thing he’s ever done seems pretty reasonable for a comedian. Sounds to me like you’re just pissed off that he doesn’t kowtow to your cultish fixations

I really liked Nikki Glaser’s take on it. She did one of the jokes like this, immediately called it hacky, but then blamed DiCaprio because if we knew more about him we could get better jokes.
Which is to say, it’s wild to me that Gervais is so proud of such a low-hanging fruit joke.

u/shawn1213 4h ago
His entire schtick is I'm so edgy the woke mobs crying and offended so hard. He made fake ads about train suicides making it run late or something and acted like people were so offended the train stations took them down when the ads never even existed in the first place
5
u/sketchampm 5h ago
OP sounds like they are just offended by how wealthy, brave and thick-skinned Ricky Gervais is. Go watch his new stand-up specials, go look at his Twitter account or watch his new cat cartoon and then tell us he’s a hack.
Yeah that’s what I thought. Checkmate.

He's insufferable. He's quality as a comedian and writer became worse and worse without Merchant and Karl. You can clearly see that with the TV shows and stand-ups. There is a before and after.
He doesn't even mention Stephen Merchant anymore talking about the Office, and that gig happened because of Merchant.
I am glad that that trio happened to be at same place tho. It was special.
