@@StopTheRot His HUMILITY. Robin Williams was another. Often times, you hear of comedians and their antics in public, brought on by an over developed ego!! This is not the case here!! Ricky didn't get started until his 40's. He KNOWS what struggle is all about because NOTHING was handed to him!!

You forgot to mention some of his greatest character traits. Ricky is incredibly smart and a major science nerd... I love his podcasts with Lawrence Krauss, Sam Harris and Neil DeGrassse Tyson.. He can really talk coherently with some of the greatest minds of our time. Oh yes, of course... He's a brilliant comedian too, whether in a stand up comedy form where he dissects human society, our fears and doubts, or as a director/producer/writer of his cutting edge comedy series. Ricky Gervais definitely inspires me..

@@markbrisec3972 You are correct! Thank you for the kind reminder! Ricky is a GEM!! CHEERS!

Yes, I love him and his message! And ironically as he talked about desperate people living live like a public open wound, lying so much and audacious that the lie becomes accepted or attempting infamy as reward, and your life as a reality story ruin the people who try that as their route to make them relative is so pathetic. I could not help think of Harry & MEEghan now that if not for the fact it preceded them by a few years he prophetically told their future! He is a wise, deep and thoughtful man!

@@breshannondevereaux5712 His humility? He has done nothing of value since Extras, but seems unable to resist getting his face on tv. Derek was appalling, Afterlife is beyond pedestrian. Yet he still believes he is the greatest comedian alive. Humility? Fuck off.

Same here. Absolute legend

Considering how many that "feels offended" and how wrong they are, there's a opposite connection....

But it doesn't mean you're always wrong either.

In that case, it means nothing. It's a useless, wasteful and senseless emotion. If It doesn't mean you're right, but doesn't mean you're wrong, then it's not a moral gauge that's useful. The problem Ricky is highlighting is, in the first instance, a huge number of people use offense to mean they ARE right. And many others go along with it, and acts as though it's like moral currency.

In saner times this, like many things, was self evident.

​@@zeldagoblinif there is no objection to an opinion it grows and gains group approval, next thing you get the guy with the little mustache and genocide all approved by the group. So it's certainly not meaningless to question the norm. It's an essential check and balance.

OMG.. that’s adorable.. He is my favourite person.. and it’s wonderful knowing he loves dogs .. and animals..

​@@hellabella8295and he's vegan, if anyone practices what they preach it is Ricky.

As a strong very healthy forty year vegan the best way to explain veganism is we care about all animals the way pet lovers love their cats and dogs, essentially it's the ultimate equality movement without the woke BS. True vegans like Ricky value all life.

I thought it was a bit awkward and sad how the moderator didn’t ask any questions about Ricky’s love for animals, and just said “great” and changed the topic. Seemed like he just didn’t care to know and felt somehow uncomfortable with the topic. Like so many people when you talk about animal rights or veganism feel uncomfortable and want to switch topics, although they’re quite comfortable to engage in behaviours that exploit animals.

For sure.. As far as I'm concerned he is currently the greatest living stand up comedian. And I wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention his equally cutting edge and transfomatory TV work he's done as an actor/writer/producer/director.. And last but not the least, he's a brilliant man whose podcasts with Lawrence Krauss and Neil DeGrasse Tyson tells you a lot about his profound interest in science and a continuous pursuit of knowledge.

He’s drinking water in the middle of the afternoon and you’re acting like he’s some kind of hero because he’s not drinking alcohol.

Humor is only a medicine to relief from the horrors, disappointments , and tragedy we call life. Its not going to change the the world to better place. If it Did then Robin Williams was totally a Failure. His own brilliant mind was his worst enemy. No ; compassion is the world's hope.

It's happening just as I said it would...the healing phase of being "scared to death”is lung cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis and flu. You can also expect to see more appendix problems which are caused by being in fear for your life, feeling like a fish out of water, uncertain of your place in life. The longer the fear, the more serious the diagnosis. When the willful hostages are finally freed from their homes (because of media and government lies based on the fraudulent Germ Theory), and people begin to get happy and feel less stressed, the result will be the healing phase....of pneumonia, burst appendix, gallbladder issues, arthritis in certain joints, it’s all subjective to what your brain experienced at the moment of the conflict. The fear campaign has caused ALL the illnesses, not a Boogey Virus. Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't "catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what cause ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. The cause of death in Small Pox was PNEUMONIA, not acne lesions. The only people who “caught” Small Pox were the ones who were attacking each other..Indians and Militia....people who feared and were attacked by each other. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. Western Medicine is pure fraud. I can't be the only person in this disgustingly brainwashed world who knows about German New Medicine.

DowzerWTP72 Yes, but in discussing your opinions with those of like mind, you get new information and perspectives you might have never thought about, you get nuances, details and a more complete ideology, worldview, etc. The keyword here is "preaching" Talking is not necessarily preaching, and frankly, I don't want to be preached to, and I have no respect for anyone who tries to preach. I agree with something else Gervais says, being right about something is not the point of being happy in a civil society. What happened to debate, or the consideration of others' opinions. It is this drive to be right. Like everything in life is a contest. This is part of the divisiveness. It goes along with winning, or the idea of being a winner or loser (in people's minds.) And that is based on how much achievement accomplished through individualism--competing to beat others in order to win (and here's where we went wrong--at any cost, even at the expense of others.) There has been a price to our systems that have become more and more oppressive.

A lesser Gracie An entertainer does not choose the members of his audience but he does choose what he says and when/where he says it...’just a discussion, ‘ only the audience cannot talk back immediately..
