Let's have a moment of silence for Ricky Gervais' career.
>>68853425
He went straight downhill with Derek. I'm not even surprised by anything bad he does anymore.
anything he does by himself isn't good
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE ANY MONEY IF CRITICS SHIT ON ME FOR NO REASON
WOOOOW ACK ACK ACK
>>68853587
HE STARTED CALLIN I AINT CALL HIM BACK
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant is a god tier duo in creating TV shows but Ricky alone is terrible.
Though Ricky is great at hosting the Emmy's.
Maybe it's because I'm American and shit, but this man has only ever been The Office UK guy, who is also a part of Karl Pilkington Abroad for some reason, and also he made a show called Extras who people say is good but I never bother to watch.
What I mean is, this man has only ever had a career on Twitter as far as I'm concerned.
Here come a lifetime of Golden Globe hostings
>>68853660
Same can be said for Stephen Merchant cause Hello Ladies was terrible.
>>68853425
Is there a more annoying asshole?
Look at the trailer for the David Brent movie, it looks horrible. It completely breaks the environment of which made The Office UK so great in the first place with the "oh God..." at the beginning.
>>68853425
He'll be fine
> tfw i just wanted to watch Eric Bana.
FUCK
WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.
>>68853698
Ricky was one of the producers for the US Office because it was basically his product so he made a fuck ton of money from it.
>>68853774
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MjTh5tFiZM
>Coming to UK cinemas
Why did he do this?
Anyone else sees the irony?
>Stephen and Ricky split up for solo careers
>Both careers tank
>Karl Pilkington is doing better than the two combined
It's like poetry
>>68853863
He should have done it a couple of years after the tv series (when he was still funny, there was still interest) or not at all.
>>68853698
I think both Extras and Life Is Too Short are good enough. Derek was shit obviously.
I think EXTRAS, especially the first season is excellent.
He needs da K-man aka the one who is actually intelligent
DUDE ATHIESM LMAO
>>68853923
Stephen Merchant hit the normie goldmine with his karaoke show though
>>68853425
Is that DSP?
Reminder Merchant has had no career on his own worth a fuck.
karl was clearly the only one with talent
God tier
> the office
> extras
Great tier
> the Ricky gervais show
> an idiot abroad
Okay tier
> life's too short
Shit tier

> Hello ladies
>>68854772
He's doing capeshit and reality tv now while Ricky is making 4/10 made for uk movies
Not sure which one is worse
>>68853425
>karl won in the end
DUDE ATHEISM LMAO
>>68853425
he made the office, enough for me 2bh
>>68854897
Gervais has two movies out this year.
Let's be honest - whatever Merchant does in Wolverine it will just be him playing himself as ever. Probably the comedy sidekick.
>it's another "American Christians hate Gervais" thread
>>68855038
More people will see Wolverine than all the movies ricky puts out though
>>68855038
he will play a mutant, no CGI necessary
>>68853660
Life's too short was awful though.
I guess you can only be a "dude atheism lmao" one-trick pony for so long before the edgy teens stop watching your stuff.
>>68855211
>>68854858
I'd move Life's too Short down a tier, otherwise accurate
>>68854718
This.
He's the most annoying fucking self-aggrandizing fucking cunt on the planet.
>>68855210
>>68855233
It had its moments
Liam Neeson scene was GOAT
So was the one with the disabled cyberbully
Extras is his best show. And he's the worst character in it.
That's kind of sad in a way.
>>68853712
You're so stupid
>>68855192
>They grew a big lanky goggle eyed freak. Now he wants revenge.
Honestly though, Pilkington was the best part of this shithead's act.
>>68855191
Listen, Christ-boy, who cares if more people see a shitty, badly acted cameo in a kid's cartoon.
Fact is - Merchant has no creative input in it.
Ricky has two films he's written, directed and acted in coming out this year, kiddo.
Where is your god, now?
Nothing he has ever done is funny, he's an edgy faggot who often spouts nonsense as fact and then backtracks saying it's just his "opinion".
>>68855231
he's right tho
>>68855398
Jesus fedorafag I never mentioned religion once just what shit they're acting in at the moment
And all of Ricky's movies will be shit without Merchant's input, just like the rest of his career was before he met him
>>68855211
>Be 30 years old
>Used to be a raging atheist who could call people out on their religion
>Look back at that now and shudder at how ignorant and cringey it was
>There are grown ass men well over the age of 40 like Gervais who still do this shit
Literally why?
>>68855231
He's right though
>>68855540
>Jesus
see, you can't hide it
>>68853923
i liked hello ladies more than any solo gervais thing
>>68855698
It's a figure of speech you twat
>lots of Christians crying and raging
>just what Saint Ricky would wish. Amen.
>>68853425
wat
>>68855743
Freudian slip, mate. Freudian slip.
>>68853784
funny how Karl came out looking the best when the trio broke down
everybody can look back and see and appreciate him and his antics, his everyman wisdom and insight on things, yet Merch and Gervais in retrospect look like complete twats up their own ass (what where the creatures in Gremlins called HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA)
Office was choice, tho
>>68855654
>grown ass men
>infantalized male detected
>closet homosexual
>>68855354

>>68855872

>Karl literally talks shit most of the time and sometimes he's so stupid there is no doubt he only has an IQ of 83 like the IQ tests showed.
>>68856011
not saying that's all the he did, it's just occasionally he did have insight into variety of conundrums that the two fucks were too quick to shit on
>>68856011
Karl makes a lot of deep points in low level speech.
If he had a better vocabulary and could articulate better you'd see his mind is sharp
It's good he didnt let fame get to him as well
>>68855883
Except I hate Islam, love Christianity, am married, and despite the idea of gay marriage. I somehow don't think these are compatible traits to being gay.
>>68854858
>The Ricky Gervais Show
>not God tier
Literally one of the comfiest shows ever made with some 10/10 comedy in it.
>>68856011
>Ricky: you meet your doppelgänger
>Karl: how would I know if I was the original or the clone?
>Ricky: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOU FUCKING RETARD YOU'RE YOU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hated Ricky for that tbqh, Karl made a good point
>>68856197
Typical overcompensation for homosexuality induced guilt.
You probably call other people gay all the time, hoping no-one sees through that ploy.
You probably shoot defenceless animals to make you feel less gay, too.
If you hate Muslims hard enough I'm sure the baby Jesus will forgive you for your secret desire for cock.
>>68856144
>Karl makes a lot of deep points in low level speech.
Some examples would be nice at this point.
>>68856299
There was an episode of The Prisoner about that very premise.

>Let's have a moment of silence
he gets plenty of these every time people watch Derek.
>Gervais with no Smerch
NO DEAL
I mean I like Bana,but 'no'
>>68856478
what I hope he means is is that Gervais with his bullshit and pissing on religion ignores entirely the political dimension of perceived religious conflicts
it's a cheap, dumb and venomous simplification of history and religious tradition, intended for consumption by edgelords who have an even more ignorant perspective, and one of the easiest and cheapest targets in the current mainstream western climate
Is there a special American right wing bible where Jesus preaches hate for all other religions, murder and intolerance?
In that bible does Jesus say the poor and the sick are lazy, thieving pieces of shit who should be despised and left to die?
Does Jesus help the money lenders and say that rich people get to heaven by standing on the dead bodies of the poor?
I lost respect for him the moment he bowed down to Islam. Selective atheists make me sick and give us a bad name.
>>68853471
Derek was fucking great you pleb
Am I the only one that enjoyed Derek? First season was cute and comfy.
gervais in his prime around 10-15 years ago on british tv was the funniest person I've ever seen. Between his radio show/most of his podcasts, extras, office and some of his standup, he was truly god tier. Now he's just an arrogant bore with no material who thinks athiesm is profound.
>>68856444
Me, a Chinese fella and an old bloke,
Who looked like Mr Burns from 'The Simpsons',
Don't know what was wrong with him,
But breaking wind was the symptoms.
No one visited him or called him.
He seemed quite lost to me.
As well as wind problems,
He had a colostomy.
When I left,
I said "see ya" to the old man.
Turned out the other fella wasn't Chinese,
He was from Japan.
And lo! Jesus left the lepers to rot and die because the lazy thieving cunts had no money for treatment. Amen.
>>68856313
Holy shit. The stereo-types. Why are you so angry?
>>68856313
What are you even talking about? So every married center-right male is gay? I've never even killed anything in my life, and literally catch any bugs that come inside out house and put them back outside into the backyard.
Please grow up.

Homeslty it's so easy to see why people hate vocal atheists as much as prostilitizing Christians.

>>68857245
Did God tell you to say that?
>>68857245

christians at least have the excuse of trying to save your soul
atheists like gervais just want to prove they're smarter and more mature by putting strawmen down

>>68857167

I should have known.
So how DO right wing, fascist scum equate their selfish/psychopathic beliefs/hate with the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ?

Explain the subversion, then.
Explain the right wing parts of the New Testament.
Explain a society which refuses to give/fights against free health care to anyone but also claims to be Christian.
These are simple questions. Not tricks.
>>68856313

>>68855211
>you have the right to be offended
fedora tier argument right here. sociopathic/autistic in its lack of empathy.
>Christians = Republicans
Nope. I know this is difficult for you to understand since you grew up in a Muslim european shithole, but politics and religion are legally separated.
>>68857766
I thought so too. The XFM show was best when Ricky wasn'tbeing too angry, but I may sort of agree with RIcky's point now: without him being argumentative, the Ricky Gervais Show might not have been great. I think him being a loud dick makes Karl's mumbles funnier.
Could be wrong, though.
>>68857921

Also, you're now demanding that religion dictate politics?
I thought they were supposed to be separate.

>>68856650
>he gets plenty of these every time people watch Derek.

Bullshit response. You cannot equate the two and you know it.

Go away Ricky
>>68853523
>Thinking this is the end of Ricky Gervais' career after the absolute dogshit (Cemetary Junction, Flanimals, Derek, his stand-up, Life's Too Short) he's produced before this movie
The guy was lucky to have met Steve and Karl, pretty much anything he writes by himself is simple, cliched, and in the same vein as his previous work.
>>68854858

Having the government steal on your behalf is not Christian and it's not moral.
I'm not even Christian or Republican, I'm just sick of whining liberals demanding more and more hand-outs, and trying to manipulate a person using their religious beliefs is pretty despicable.
>>68855398
Are you a 14 year old who's proud for your lack of belief in something? The guy you're replying to didn't mention Ricky's atheism once.

I don't believe in God, but Gervais is an overbearing cunt about it. Imagine if you had a friend who was a vegetarian andhe told you every other time you went for a pint with him.

Ricky is awesome, and has some of the best stuff ever. The only thing that rivals The Ricky Gervais show for rewatchability is Star Wars or Braveheart.
>>68856784
I'm an athiest, but I agree.
Religion is a pretext for war, not the reason for it.
No one in power actually believes. It's just marketing to sell the violence to the masses.
>>68859521
Demanding that the government raise tax rates and welfare rates is essentially that, isn't it?
You're asking the government to take more of people's money (and imprison them if they refuse), and give some of that money to you. That's not Christian charity because it's not being volunteered, it's being taken by force.
I don't think pointing out this obvious fact makes someone a psychopath.

Name them.
>>68853863
The cumin line was decent. I say that as someone who hates Gervais and The Office (Extras is decent though)
>>68862497
Because I know the difference between taking something by force, and the person willingly volunteering it?
I think a psychopath is more likely the person who doesn't see the difference.

>>68862763
You're a true psychopath. You pretend to be making a resonable point but really you think all tax is theft and you shouldn't contribute at all, like all neo-liberalist psychos do.
And of course you think taxation is a 'crime' and that those who think taxation is fine are 'psychopaths'.
>>68862884
You're the real psychopath here.
>>68862921
No. Quite wrong, but the predictable response from a neo-liberalist.
>>68862950
I'm not even that guy, you presumptuous squirt.
>>68862876
It's a good song but jesus christ he's always been a cunt judging from this video
>>68862763
This is exactly how neo-liberal nutjobs convince themselves they are the victims of a crime and think they should never pay tax.
They demonise taxation as 'theft' and play the victim card, while actually condoning parasitism.
>>68862997
>presumptuous squirt
what a bizarre phrase
Evidently you identify with the neo-liberal parasites and that upsets you because you want to believe you are the victim of theft by the government rather than a contributer to a better society,

I mean, that whole movement I'm referencing is based around guilt and pretending there's something wrong with what you're doing according to someone else's moral code. Seems like the next logical step what with the situation with the refugees.
>>68863256
I take it all back - THIS cunt is a fucking psychopath and changing the topic like a liitle kid who is 'bored' with adult conversation
>>68862884
What was your original point? That Christians should support heavy taxation of the rich (ie. vote Democrat) because that's the right thing to do?
Christians generally believe charity has to be voluntary, otherwise it's not charity. Socialism isn't aligned with Christian values if it's imposed by force.
I thought TJ Miller was bitter when he started crying about Ricky Gervais, but this thread takes the cake tbqh.
>>68863434
and there we have it at last - socialism
Goodnight, Mr Trump.
>>68863488
>omg he called me socialist because i think rich people should be forced by the government to give all their money to poor people who want it
>literally trump
>>68863488
Trump has always said the rich need to pay more tax. Economically, he's the most socialist candidate since Nixon. His foreign trade policies are the same as Bernie Sanders. He backed proposals for a national healthcare system
Political illiterates think he's a conservative because he's running as a Republican and has been repeatedly smeared as a racist (and that means right wing because muh dichotomy). He's not hated by conservatives in the GOP for being populist, it's because he's an authoritarian liberal and, economically, would probably be a more left wing president than Clinton.

And Robocop
Loved The Office, Extras, and The Ricky Gervais Show, but Ricky Gervais himself is one of the most insufferable cunts going. I don't mind that he's an atheist, but I do mind how arrogant he is about it. I don't mind that he cares about animal rights, but I do mind that he incites hatred towards hunters despite not even being vegetarian himself. The guy's just another faux-intellectual liberal, and I'm glad his last few shows have bombed.
