Ricky Gervais At Globes
-
Watched it entirely last night. I thought it was absolutely brilliant and easily my favourite of his stand up specials.
Didn't find the first 45 minutes stand up comedy as such, more an interesting monologue on observations of the current world we live in - both physically and online. I found it a great listen with some hilarious moments interspersed.
Last 15 minutes was more traditional stand up which I really enjoyed too.
Yeah, his best work for me since The Office.

@MajorRage A guy with an opinion on Stuff reckons otherwise…
The author has 187 Twitter followers so obviously has the feel for the zeitgeist in a way that RG with his nearly 15million clearly doesn’t.

Stuff disagreeing with me is a sure fire way of knowing I'm correct.
Reality is that there isn't huge laughs in it. But in my view, it's a brilliant observation.
I agree that Trans has been done to death. In my view though, I think that is Gervais point. He slams the activists, not so much the people.

That has to be a pisstake. Even after Gervais sets up the joke by explaining the use of irony as comedic effect.
"he knows those women have all been funnier in their careers than he has been in the last 20 years. He is just gambling that his audience don't know that."
You can't say that with a straight face and list Hannah Gadsby.

Wow! Cringingly unfunny but what an extreme reaction.

I feel like there's a possibility of a triple whoosh here.

I'm sure that has some relevance here, but it's lost on me.

Me too but I was surprised him and a bunch of other Americans made an appearance at the Apollo.

Oh right. They’re famous seppos? Not famous enough for me. So yes. Whoosh. Happy with that to be honest.

@Catogrande I'm still not sure I'm not being whooshed
