That's exactly what I thought.

The best advice he's ever been given is to write about "what you know'.

His wife hasn't died !! He could not possibly know !!!!!!!!

Hayley Henderson no he hasn't but everyone has lost someone. Ricky was very close with his mother he could of used the pain of losing her to help write it

Name 1 comedian Who is not themselves in Movies and tv series

The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.” - Mark Twain Many people have stated things about dogs but the earliest recording about people and dogs come from the "cynics" in ancient Greece....Diogenes is the most known and probably the father of the cynics.....he was walking in daylight with a lamp in his hands. When people asked him why, he replied "I'm searching for people" his only friend were the dogs....he lived in a big ceramic pot.

It was actually from Madam de Stael

Who is French

Not Russian...

"If you want a friend, get a dog" 😉

Have you heard Jimmy Carr's laugh? :D

Nikoloz Alavidze Nowhere near as funny as Ricky's though.

Seth Rogen has the goofiest and adorable laugh ever.

I don't know if you've seen this but I made a compilation of him laughing awhile back, hope you like it: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sKeXfJCDkKlyzok.html

Jaime Reynolds ew

haha, dogs are the most annoying animals on Earth

Grammar

@@ABC-rh7zc for you. And you have to know we are animals too😂

@Jane lane yes, I agree with you there

@@ABC-rh7zc lol seems like you never had a cat. XD

Mia P minus the fame and success and money

Sux to be you then.

Same here, I agree with everything he said

change dogs to cats and boom I'm him

You mean when you wish you’re ricky gervais

jajceboy same here

jajceboy I'm with you. While alle the sheep like humans are winding about the environment or religion it's actually greed, selfishness and stupidity that will make this planet uninhabitable for man kind..

Compared to what? It's crazy that Gervais is the first person you've found to share this opinion because I've heard it from everybody and his brother. But really. Humans suck compared to what? Animals? Because we can't live up to our own impossible moral ideals? Of course we can't. But I'll tell you who has far less developed moral sensitivities than us... every other animal we've ever encountered. We're not Gods. We're bloody animals ourselves. We happen to have some brilliant shit invented by a very small minority of brilliant people but most of us are mouth-breathing mongoloids running around with caveman brains and we need to be given a break for not being perfect. Are humans supposed to be awful because they're "ruining the environment"? Is nature supposed to be this wonderful thing that includes everything but humans? Nature isn't good or bad. It just is. Ebola is natural. Leprosy is natural. Earthquakes, super-volcanoes and asteroids are natural. Nature has no morality. A wolf will bite your dick off for fun and not even eat you. Cats cannibalize defective offspring. No other animals besides humans have ever given a moment's thought to something like protecting the environment. The general reason I'm told humanity is so terrible is because bad things exist. War, poverty, inequality--however one would define that. So I suppose a world in which humans weren't awful would be one in which none of these things existed. Humans are awful because we haven't built a perfect world yet? Well that's fucking hard but we're consistently improving by a number of metrics and I don't see anyone else helping. If you're gonna posit we suck compared to an ideal perfect version of humanity that doesn't exist in reality I won't argue that. But a lot of good people are working towards that and the only reason they even care and you even care is obviously because human's aren't completely terrible. I think we'll all be better off if we stop holding each other to unrealistic standards and love instead of hate, we're just stupid animals. Yes homo

leetledrummerboy it is really easy to generalise and I do it all the time, but you are right. There are so many awesome things we have created. Thanks for the reminder. We are putting so much pressure on people to be perfect when it isn't possible and it won't stop crap from happening. You can only control your own behaviour.

i know this is old bud i wish i knew people like you guys

Came here for Ricky, certainly not for Jimmy. You are absolutely right. While Ricky really has a great sense of humour and a genuine politeness, Fallon is just so embarrassing.

You’re awesome carol

So sorry to hear that Carol. My deepest condolences. But looking more positively, I completely agree, Ricky is a comedic genius!

Especially if the other human is Australian. Well, they *say* everything in Australia will kill you....

True!!!

No it's not. Have you ever seen the aftermath of a chimpanzee attack?

@@nicot9305 I think Australia is the one exception where the humans are not the biggest threat to you.

@@nicot9305 well, that's totally not racist at all

Fuck aye!

i can relate to him on a personal level, he and i are both humans. and thats relatable

That's ok, I hate myself anyways.

You're talking to a mirror.

Is this you Ricky?

No, it's just people who want to be interesting

@@thoughtsbeforeactions714 To be fair, how can you know about some of the depravity committed by humans and not even be a little angry? I personally don't agree with hating everyone but it's not hard to understand why people might go that route. It's kind of hard not to hate people sometimes when something really awful happens, there's just a fine line between hating people because they're awful and hating people because you yourself are awful.

Sorry guys but you’ve lost me... Didn’t get your replies. I’m in São Paulo - BR. But lived in Boston, Manhattan and Paris for 6 months each city (immigration law). I love ‘Peanuts’ since forever as MAD, Mafalda, Tintin, etc.

And I do truly fear Mr Trump!

+Angela hello from Australia! I love Peanuts ,Calvin & Hobbes, Tintin and Asterix & Obelix. Cheers!

That doesn't make sense. You can say "I love America, but I hate Americans". That would imply that you like the landscape or whatever. Saying that you love mankind but hate people is the same as saying "I love people, but I hate people". It's an oxymoron.

I just read that in Rowan Atkinson's best Elizabethan-era Blackadder voice. With comic pauses. I couldn't help myself ;)

Ricky: *dies happily*

Ricky: hold it yourself you monster

@@tarunpurswani9917 Monster? Have you ever seen a real genocide? Humanity has done worse. The pandemic is a natural thing it is not immoral nor evil.

@@yuinurahilyon5711 Youd probably walk into a chemotherapy clinic and say "Cancer is not evil or immoral like the genocides we humans have commited! It is perfectly natural and a part of life!" Probably while grieving parents are standing next to the patients aswell.

@@yuinurahilyon5711 uhh, you dont know that actually !! might not be natural my friend!!

I look at my dog AND cat every day and say "Damn, your lives are friggin awesome."

I was about to like this video, then he said that

land sharks

Jimmy is just a big act.

Yelu C Probably the most clever guy in show business!

+Yelu C How is he a "spirit animal"? He's a human being as far as I can see. It's okay to "loooooooove" (how eloquent) someone, but don't confuse the category of species they belong to.

Sergio Delgado hahaha get yourself some sleep, that bitchiness is not gonna take you anywhere sir. :)

+Yelu C I'm certainly _somewhere_ already, so no need to worry about that, dear lady. My bad, shouldn't criticize a teenager for using expressions like "spirit animal". It's perfectly reasonable.

Sergio Delgado have an awesome day. 😉

Thelema really irritating isn't it

He's just a very nice guy and those do come off as fake sometimes. That death stare at 5:11 tho. I think that's what he's trying to protect us from.

@@nanadaimehokage9934 it's a fake persona.

@@yournan116 Hes just doing his job, obviously Jimmy doesn't like what the dude's saying becuase hes basically insulting everything that he is.

I despise humanity but I also despise dog nutters who don't give a fuck to other people and only cares about their dogs. Who don't train their dogs and let their dogs barking their heads off for hours, and who don't pick up their dogs poop off the street, who think they are so entitled that think people should accommodate to their and their dog's every needs. Who have barking dogs in fucking small apartment where dogs are not even allowed and don't even appologize. Who complains "I love dogs. It's people i can't stand" when they treat other people like shits in the first place. Get a grip.

Сергей Мешков that's the thing about stand up comedian's .... Almost in every interview they do a bit from their stand up acts. Same with Louis CK, Chris Rock and others

The interviewer is so mediocre that Ricky knew he had to save the day!

Robin Williams also used to tell some of his stand up's jokes, but it felt natural and funny. I think comedians also do it because they know how hot some of their latest jokes are, it's like 100% accurate shot.

That is why I can't stand to watch his show. So insincere and immature.

95% of us, are here for only the guests

totally agree, don't watch him

The Billy Bush of late night.

Varun Singh Shhhh.. don't tell anyone but if you understand a bit of psychology and social engineering, he's laughs to prompt good emotion on his show. He's trained to act this way. I could be wrong but Shhhh 😂

Lauren Cronenberg What if he loved you

Hahaha

Lauren Cronenberg what I meant to say was you look lovely

Ayush Aryal thanks;)

Lauren Cronenberg yup its me, the weird guy flirting on youtube. No wonder Ricky doesn't like people.

Why does the freakin' return button not start a new paragraph?!?

Why do I find his love for animals deeply suspect?

+ItsameAlex - ...because you're fucked up, insecure, with a secret love for bestiality and can't help psychologically projecting? That would be my guess...

my dogs annoy me so much lol can't relate to that

Dogs are fucking irritating, and dog lovers are insecure cunts with a poor sense of social responsibility.

He is a genius

Alain you really are an idiot if you think he's the GOD of entertainment lol. Is this guy the first comedian you have ever seen? Shakes head.

Ironically he doesn't believe in any God.

He isn’t too smart, he’s an atheist 😈

How ironic....

Lauren Cronenberg really?

Yeah, I think so hahaha Do you think he's not?

Never has been, never will be. Just an annoying, fat, hypocritical little man.

Snaggle Toothed more than once I've heard him criticize overweight people, and it's not like he's a regular at the gym. Besides he's a bully, there's no satire when he criticizes people, he's just a nasty little man.

He criticizes (or he used to) overweight people because he himself used to be overweight. And in his case he would do it because he said it was down to laziness and poor eating habits on his part. What's hypocritical about criticizing a trait that you yourself suffer from. And for the record, he's not overweight any more because he started living a more healthier lifestyle (better diet, exercising). Now he jokes that he can't make fun of fat people anymore since he's not fat anymore himself

IS the world overpopulated, though..? I know everyone SAYS that, but do you actually have reason to believe it..? As far as I know, the world can still sustain many more people than it has already. (I sincerely invite you to prove me wrong, I am not saying I know this. Only that I’ve never seen anyone ever back up the overpopulation claim)

The world is overpopulated, yes. That doesn't really apply to Gervais, however, seeing as he's from England. I respect his decision as well but the countries that suffer from hunger, poverty, famine and war, those are usually the overpopulated ones.

@@taffysaur take your rose tinted glasses off, take a look around 🤦‍♀️

@@AshrafAnam stop being a selfish wee shit head, the world certainly doesn't need anymore of you on it.

@Reece A too many trump supporters

And half the world. Hence his popularity. Which is the ironic beauty of it.

That makes two of us

He doesn't assault anyone, just provides savage comedy.

You haven't done much research about Woody Allen have you? He is nothing like the other two. Stop believing the hype.

Agreed. I'm only here for Gervais. I really try to avoid Fallon because he gets on my nerves during interviews.

TheJerms7 He's horrible

hes literally just laughing at his guest's jokes? how can u not, that was hilarious

Does Jimmy know grammar?

@@deadNightwatchman it's called joking

@@RH-tv9hk I keep forgetting Americans don't know how either works.

A lot of it is from the original radio show

Oh shit. Even when I thought it was spontaneous I was thinking: 'Have I lost my sense of humor or is Ricky not very funny anymore?'

There's only so many times you can repeat the same joke from the xfm days that his fans have heard 20 times already

Everything Gervais says is an old joke, his own old joke or a joke he stole from Karl

Atharva Dhekne nah, just rehashed material from 15 years ago.
