For his animal welfare work he is more than deserving imo.

For services to what? Smugness?

Kenny spot on mate,Ricky is tireless and uses his "fame" for good causes no one more deserving than him.

I liked his tweet a couple of months ago,"if you dont have empathy for animals,then you don't have empathy at all".

I apologise if my grammer is not up to scratch.

because he's a nasty little misanthrope

He may well be, but his animal rights stance more than makes up for that.

mocking the disabled won't gain you any favours.

I think the black man's cóck joke has probably scuppered Ricky's chances of a knighthood.

ricky one of the worst about i would want paying to watch him

Report mememe • September 26, 2015 3:31 PM BST

Struck me as having a bit of Jimmy S about him ... so why not a knighthood?

Report Pokermonster • September 26, 2015 3:38 PM BST

I like Ricky Gervais, he's created some of the funniest programmes of recent years and his vocal support of animal charities is admirable.

Report Coachbuster • September 26, 2015 3:59 PM BST

fantastic individual - love the bloke

Report MadVlad • September 26, 2015 4:07 PM BST

Lets be honest he is very rich and could just feck off and enjoy his money,but chooses to use "his fame" for good causes. If ever there was a more deserving person in the entertainment industry to be recognised it's him imo.

hitler was a famous animal lover, lead a political party strongly supportive of Green issues, and often put the rights of animals above those of humans, not sure whether he got a knighthood though.
