Anyone watch this on Netflix? Brilliant
James Acaster nailed it 3 years ago:I'm really surprised that another edgy comedian has decided to use trans people as the butt of their jokes.
noIs he religious at all?
Used to love Rick, but hes disappeared so far up his arse. Sick of the religious, poo pooing paranormal, trans rubbish.
Also pretending to try and be cancelled whilst not even being that edgy.
Podcast stuff will always make me laugh and the office.
*insert James Acaster clip*
But honestly nah, aside from anything else his early shows put me off him as it was pretty clear at that point that his success in TV had seen him overpromoted relative to his skill as an actual stand-up. He seemed to be a relative novice doing fairly rudimentary stand-up to artificially bigger audiences. Not sure if he's gotten better in the years since.
Hislop had him pegged from the start.
(Also this self deprecating Gervais almost feels like another person entirely…)
It’s like people grow up thinking they have got everything right, that their form of progressivism is the right one and it becomes immutable so when the world moves on and the next generation of progressives starts to move the dial and introduce new ideas that they find it hard to understand or subscribe to, they kick into defensive mode and start lashing out… “it’s not me it’s them!”
Now he blocks people on twitter who think afterlife is terrible
Does the Caf like anyone?

Thought it was pretty funny in parts, was pretty tame compared to Jimmy Carr's.
If jokes that women can't have penises terribly offends you, i wouldn't watch
i'm genuinely wondering why it's offensive to trans people at all. Is it that any joke about a trans person is automatically offensive? Because the jokes seemed very mild.It's not just that it's offensive to trans people but it's such lazy shite 'humour' that you'd expect from an old man at the pub, not an established comedian.
He still uses material from the podcast (or more accurately, from Karl) to this day.I’m the same as some people in here. Used to like Gervais but slowly began to hate him post-Extras. Disappeared up his ass, Obnoxious on Twitter, Doesn’t make stuff that’s as good anymore.
2002 XFM Gervais would have punched present day Gervais in the face, after mocking him relentlessly.

I've always felt Gervais needs Merchant more than Merchant needs Gervais.
It appears that Merchant is able to reign in Gervais and his "controversial" takes. Gervais often comes across as a hyperactive toddler who thinks his views are gospel. That's why I tend to avoid his stand ups because I find them too preachy.
