He is the kind that slowly becomes more and more conservative and less and less funny and then cries about how he got cancelled on a talk show.
Bill Maher Syndrome
When is the last time he updated his material? He’s out here still spewing that new-atheist line like his mind is powered by Reddit circa 2013.
Ricky is his persona. A dim man, in a fortunate position, over his head. He’s a stuffy old “ya dad” medium-level bigot like Archie Bunker; he’s only able to get a laugh by being the joke.
I once saw a podcast or something that had Ricky, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Louie CK. Now Ricky wasn’t the only shit-head at that table, but he did stand out sharply when back-lit by all that talent.
Now Ricky wasn’t the only shit-head at that table
That might be putting it mildly
I also watched that discussion and agree that he belonged there even less than Seinfeld, who is very rarely funny, but is at least tolerable on a conversational level.
Any time anyone mentions Ricky gervais this picture should be posted. Thank you for performing the service.
All should know the deep cringe.
Wooooow.
I love a lot of his work, but he is insufferable. Its like he never got all of his edge lordiness out of his system when he was a teen, and now he is doubling down.
He’s good enough as a writer when paired with Stephen Merchant, who presumably balances the edgelord side out. When left to his own devices, however…
A few years ago James Acaster did a bit in his stand-up about Gervaise: https://youtu.be/UHqma3rx-xI
If you want just the Gervaise bit without the lead-up, go to around 2:30
That’s not fair, comparing Gervais to someone with actual talent is just mean.

I realized the “insufferable turd” shtick wasn’t an act. He’s a perpetual edgelord.
Someone actually took time to make that image.
Like anyone believes for a nanosecond he didn’t make that image himself.
i like him - and lets be real: there are a lot of people his age that post cringy stuff like that🤷🏼♂️
