Ricky Gervais lets them have it

Of course jh , what rules the world is knowledge , and of course money everyone knows that
And doubtless here and there a little bit of love ...and politeness also
All these things are not without their value

Tell that **** gervais that !

Just a few opinions there jh  , a few of my own
That’s good I have a lot more

I dont know him well enough to tell him however i may just send him a tweet as that seems to be the modern day weapon of choice

That’s true , maybe he will read chiti chatty also
I hope not we don’t want his type here , horrible

I would gladly die to defend your right to voice your opinion lfc1971. That is the only freedom we will have left soon.

Lol , we’ve heard everything now !

always good to see folk mocking themselves.

In better times , more honourable and good . Someone would challenge that little runt gervais to a duel for the offensive remarks he made
I would quite like to see a return to those times
Changed times now I suppose when people think he is doing something good and not shameful , oh well .

I don’t know if he was to do that in his own country that’s something , but not somewhere else , as a guest
It’s not right at all

Tis the land of hope and glory lfc1971. Anything is possible

lfc you seem quite offended by gervais!

Yes jh , that’s why I love America and American people , they’re soooo nice compared to the  British

Grant I’m not offended , I just don’t want someone from Britain going to America and making an ass of themselves and being obnoxious

Nothing new here.
I think Hans Christian Andersen had a similar idea.

We tend to agree with people we like.

It's what the British should become ..................... Honest ! That would be more impressive .

.......... "I know he's your friend"

It’s a bit like this , I recall when George Calloway went to America , and appeared before the senate , and was loud mouthed and rude and aggressive and angry and rude in his response to various questions , so much so that he bullied his way through proceedings and the Americans were taken aback at his behaviour . And many in Britain seemed to very impressed with Galloway and how he handled himself , in America

But of course he behaved very differently in Iraq , and when he met Saddam he grovelled and was on his very best behavior
So I remembered that ,how he behaved when he met the mass murderer and dictator of Iraq and how he grovelled , and  when he was so rude and angry and aggressive in America ?
Well that didn’t impress me , not much .

Ifc can you imagine the uproar if the yanks had done the same thing but in London? But Bagdad is ok with you as its only brown people being killed-all 37 of them.

terry it doesn’t matter what colour terrorists are , I don’t like the IRA scum either

My (rather vague) recollection would be that gorgeous George was defending himself ... hardly going to act meekly there.
But yes he’s still a div.

Who funds ISIS?

You do know we did shoot them don’t you?

Who in your minds funds them IFC,somebody does,who trained them all up in the first place and still does to this day?

He wasn`t obnoxious, he told the truth! Don`t you like the truth? Would you prefer the extreme hypocrisy of the self-proclaimed elites, and Hollywood paedophiles? Moreover, be fully aware that `America` loved and agreed with it all, ignore the squealing and squirming you see from the few coastal SM warriors

Only one thing these bastards understand and respect, force.

Black Jack Pershing had the right idea IMO!

Terry it’s like this , if you are an enemy of America and the American people ( or Britain ) and you threaten them with acts of violence and commit terrorist acts
Expect to be shot , it’s as simple as that .

^^ Referring to terrorists not Luvvies. Although

And visa versa Ifc in that case

Terry there is the terrorist dictatorship of Iran , and there is the beautiful and free and democratic America and Britain
Don’t confuse one with the other , thanks

How many have Iran invaded and how the Americans,terrorists you say,why?

*many

We’ve been through that terry many times on other threads
No point going over  it again now is there ?
Now Trump has warned them , don’t threaten or commit acts of terrorism against American citizens
And all will be well

Tea time

It's not new. As someone said earlier he's been doing this a while - the hollywood lot know what to expect. A couple of decent jokes, but not as funny as previous ones. Personally I liked his Mel Gibson jokes from earlier years.

yes but will this make us money?   are arsenal going to crush leeds - i need to know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtxZeDYuEZI

This is how you do it, Ricky - offensive BUT FUNNY AND CHARMING

I have just watched the gervais clip and never laughed once.  He was just being horrible, anyone can do that.

The clip is Paul Hogan giving some advice at the Oscars.

You best not watch Jimmy Carr then Annie lol

Your missing the point Annie,its the people who he is talking about,they are the "horrible" ones,he is showing us how these people live and their "values".

Could be it’s you that is missing the point terry , I doubt it’s annie

Very nice speech by hogan , funny and classy and cool , and from an Australian
That’s how it’s done

No not at all,not for one second IFC

Hollywood is a lot of things , it’s Clint Eastwood , Schindler’s List , Raging Bull , Gone with the wind , Julie Andrews , Columbo, the Godfather 2
I like to remember those things .

Me too.

very good

Twit you are

Not in a bad way mind

Showbiz juan kerrs.

Why make such comments about Dane Judy Dench for example , in front of a televised audience in front of millions of people , in front of her and her family   
It’s hard to fathom the mentality of that .

Cheap laughs , and not even funny , but hurtful
What a prat .

Maybe he knows her better than you do

Fixed that for you lfc. Don't mention it.

Of course wallflower , but of course all terrorists
Although the UVF at least were loyalists and not enemies of the British and not republicans , so that’s a good thing

Whatever; and that's only a matter of opinion depending on your political viewpoint. ALL of the above were equally despicable and cowardly in their actions. (Their political allegiances are completely irrelevant - the tragedy is/was both are valid, just incompatible).

Anyway - just a minor point - didn't mean to derail the thread.

For the record, I love Ricky Gervais.   The  Office was comedy genius.  He can get a bit close to the bone but it is witty and a breath of fresh air at times from smothering political correctness.

Yes wallflower , I like people who are friendly to Britain , and dislike those who try to attack and bomb and murder and use terrorism against Britain , that makes quite a bit of difference you see , it’s natural
Just saying .

Couldn't disagree with anything Gervais said TBH

lfc
You ever been to America?

is that wear the polo bares r.

Yes Charlie , I’ve lived and worked in America , have you ?

Visited not worked. Where were you and when?

Presumably that's where you learned to flip burgers.

Different places , through the 90s  , but in the main for Lear Jet , Wichita
I’m sure you’ve heard of them

How did you qualify for a work visa?

Trolly Dolly.

I was a contractor , a specialist . In theory I wasn’t meant to do any hands on work just give advice
But you see America and the U.K. governments and companies had certain arrangements , maybe still do I don’t know
Visas weren’t a problem .

Whether a contractor or a specialist you still needed a work visa. The USA have rules about working there.

Holidays are fine Charlie , but to get to know a country and it’s people ?
You have to live and work there

With Americans nothing was ever a problem , they got things done with no fuss , very competent people
And good workers , and fun to socialise with , best times of my working life

oh dear  the polar bear protector has had his pants pulled down  oh ho ho ho

proper charlie thought he was on to a winner ho ho ho

how's the extinction of the polo bares going charles???

some are a bit loud  but found them basically pretty good to work with

except, some of them (when in uk),  find our drinking style/habits hard when you feed them ale hahahahahah

proper charlie belongs to the KHANT pursuasion - something he actually knows nothing about but then he can't spell  ho hoohoohhh

I remember the first day I went to work at the Lear Jet factory , a beautiful clear blue day and the white buildings , sooo white in the high sun  , and the runway and hangars
And I looked around and thought I was in heaven , it was like that
Pretty much so

lfc
You ever worked in Iran or Iraq?

Or Russia?

yes  I have   hope this helps

proper charlie is trying to climb to the top of the moral high ground

You won't get any polo bares up there - if there are any left that is

I have been everywhere and know everyone and know everything

do ya get the tactic???

ps and yes the latest climate change result  - ie oz    I have also worked there too  ho ho

and they still stopped the firebreaks   wot else ya won't to know charles???

bet use haven't been to oz lfc   so you cant say nowt about it ho ho ho ho

I have not been to Nepal.

moisok you seem to have a problem with distinguishing your name from lfc.

I have not worked in the usa  only with citizens of the usa in other parts

quite a story that one too

stop following the KHANT  proper charlie

I have no problem realising who follows the KHANT ian pursuasion

this will be an interesting game   tonight

Never been a fan of Gervais but I wonder if his rant can be the start of a comedy backlash against the PC brigade. The left have generally lined up to attack authority in support of virtue signalling by celebrity leftists but this could signal a change of fashion direction in comedy.

Refreshing wasn't it.

Well I'm not a fan of Gervais, never have been, quite the opposite in fact.

But, I'm going to defend him here. This wasn't a stand up routine, whether you found any of it funny or not doesn't matter, it wasn't meant to be funny.
He was just holding up a massive mirror to all those t.w@ts in the audience, and sticking 2 fingers up to the rancid establishment crippled by political correctness.
So, good on him.   

Who knows if it'll make any difference, maybe encourage some others to stick their neck out and call out these lunatics. We can only hope.

Gervais is a left wing luvvie and needs a kick up the arse

the monarchy is finished, as governments and celebrities,people are getting wise...controll is over

Why are you worried about the monarchy they gave no power . You have just had 3 years of the  Labour Party and the liberals trying to defy a democratic vote . Starmer and some other of the criminals are now standing to be leaders of the Labour Party
The ****** should be arrested and in prison.
Wake up .

WAAAAAAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUP !!!!!!!!!!!

The limitations of science is mind boggling , when you are asleep !!!

I love my sleep .

I set three alarms , the first is to get me used to the idea of waking up , the second is to remind me that the first one wasn’t a joke
and the last one is just to tell me to get up !

My mum told me every hours sleep before midnight is worth two after

nite, nite

don' think I've ever been sleep before midnight. even if I went to bed at 8pm, I still wouldn't get to sleep before midnight.

You quick sleepers are so lucky, don't know how you do it

I bet they all went home to their mansions and cried

Was his speech not scripted and fully approved before he delivered it?

Not by some of the looks on their faces

Johan
I was waiting for this article. As usual, everyone thinks he acted outside of his boundaries when, in fact, it was all scripted. He even looks like he is reading from a teleprompter. Thanks VC, you never disappoint.

I thought the same thing, that Gervais had the blessing of the Hollyweird thugs, or they would have run him off the stage. The celebrities he insulted went on to spew their usual virtual signaling garbage. We peons are supposed to tune in now because it’s so enjoyable watching the little gods being insulted. They’re doing the same thing on SNL, trying to regain lost ratings. I would rather have a root canal than watch the degenerate darlings of the commie Left who despise regular Americans. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me teice, shame on me. May your movies, TV shows, and popularity continue to tank.

Well they all worship the devil so anything goes

You are correct, Terry.  Some quality comments at the bottom Les's link - though some of the replies are a bit whacky   Worth checking out if you have time.

Gervais is a Grade A c**k

Hollywood are filth. Gervais is as bad

It seems to have come as a shock to one or two on here but “roasting” is an American thing.
They probably take it as a badge of honour to be slammed.
It’s a bit Wildean .. better to be and all that.

The looks of pleasure on the faces in the audience hardly supported that racing.
