I think it's because he looks and sounds like your short, fat, funny uncle (we all got one).

He doesn't. They try and have tried to cancel him, but he is truly the only respectfully unafraid comedian out there unwilling to bend and remains flippant to cancel culture. Since they continued to fail abysmally trying to censor him, they gave up.

Probably because his intentions are to make people laugh. He's not one of these people that says something outrageous and then when no-one agrees says 'Oooh only joking'.

I wonder if it has anything to do with keeping men's wives' names out of his mouth? 🤣

This is strangely worded. The start of it, and the "but" make it sound like you didnt like it. It would have made more sense if you said "but this was not funny". Bro you gotta watch your language.

@@PBMS123 He worded it okay, and I understood it perfectly. The word "but" isn't always used as a complaint. Are you an American struggling with the English language?

Ego's vanity of the mind... is a slow death... Whoops! 😉

He didn't upload this

To *their* faces*

Are you suggesting Ricky believes the moronically ridiculous conspiracy theory about Queen Elizabeth, Tom Hanks, and others belonging to a secret pedophilia ring who also drink the blood of babies?!? Is that what you're commending him about?? If he heard what you're suggesting he'd laugh, you know his laugh, right in your face. Probably call you a daft bloody git as well. Btw, that conspiracy theory has been proven false, along with the other fairy tales Q suckers his readers with. Weren't you there to watch JFK Jr come back from the dead? Yeah, that didn't come true either. I'd like to know what did come true. Name ONE thing Q predicted that actually happened, with proof. Really happened. Just one...

@@GoodJuju.8D I don't think OP suggested that Ricky believes in whatever nonsense QAnon types have to say. We have to agree that Hollywood is a shady place at best, not as QAnon makes it up to be, but it is a place where people like Cosby, Weinstein, Polansky and many other big shots can blackmail young actors and take advantage of them. The brilliance of Ricky's performance at the Golden Globes is - in my opinion - that he points out the hypocrisy of the famous Hollywood actors that preach about equality and social justice while at the same time keep quiet about sexual abuse they've witnessed, know about or suspect, or openly support people like Roman Polansky. Again, there is no elite cult of pedophiles who drink the blood of children, but there actually is a power structure that allows mostly older men and women to have absolute power over the career of a young actor or actress. And the extent to which that power is and has been abused in the past will never be truly known.

I'm not sure that the British can be canceled. Lol

75 years after the war, Brits are still obsessed with them, so of course he would, as does Al Murray.

@@shelbynamels973 yeah, we fought a world war where hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people died. Both of my grandparents fought. Perhaps that's what makes England a bit different.

@@NotDecided420 The only country I could think of still similarly obsessed with the Great Patriotic War is the Soviet Union/Russia. In the US, in increasing number of people don't even remember Pearl Harbor.

@@shelbynamels973 perhaps Pearl Harbour wasn't mainland, so people still felt safe being thousands of miles away from any front. But we've got bomb creators in fields around us. We've got remnants of old air bases and flight towers. We still have very real reminders of the war. I don't think that's a bad thing personally.

@@NotDecided420 Yeah, prolly so. Just as there are few if any physical reminders of the war left on the mainland, I was more thinking of how little it occupies the cultural and public sphere. Nobody in the US would use the term 'Jap' or 'Kraut" any more, yet Al Murray even today gets a laugh out of the audience when he talks about 'calling "Fritz in Frankfurt on extension 109". PS. It got me to thinking. Everybody knows, of course, of the USS Arizona memorial, but that's in Hawaii. The only memorial=type thing on the mainland that immediately comes to mind is the internment camp at Manzanar, and what does that tell you!

Could you explain it? Didn't get it

How can you do both?

He doesn't really insult people directly. He insults ideas and the situations they lead to. The fact that some are offended is explained by this quote from him, "It's like jumping in front of a bullet and saying, you shot me."

Great acting there too!

"Have a box of Kleenex ready"

Agreed . Just watched "DEREK" boxset on Netflix . Fascinating insight into a multi-talented entertainer : humour / empathy / no lines crossed .

It's very difficult to explain him

I worked on the very first pilot and then the first series of the office. I thought the same until I saw the actual show. Loved it and anything since that he’s done. Working in the film industry and his extras series is so close as to how extras really are. Unless you work in the industry you most likely wouldn’t understand it.

You can't hate The Office. No-one with a sense of humour can possibly hate The Office. This isn't nearly as good. I'm just talking unequivocal truths here so don't bother replying if you want to disagree with these facts.

Try Derek, Extras or After Life. I personally don't know how you couldn't like the office.

Hello Cassandra How are you doing today?

Yes. I was disappointed when he said Churchill was a hero ! He was a racist, classist genocidal maniac and a drunk. Gandhi was far from ok too. He betrayed Dr. Ambedkar and the Dalits and made racist comments about blacks in South Africa.

now I'm interested in how this Anna Frank and Hitler tag team works out

@UKpostsrs fan And dj too Churchill the myth is great. But really so much of what we 'know' today is just that. Myth. Did you know his famous 'We shall fight them on the beaches ' speech was never heard directly from him by the British public ? He made it in the Houses of Parliament and it was transcribed and then read by a BBC news announcer. His speech on Singapore was greeted with general dismay. A lot of his speech was slurred and people, rightly or wrongly thought he was drunk. He had government advisors who got him to tailor his speeches to appeal to the Americans. Amongst his crimes was the notorious sending of the Black and Tans into Ireland. He has been largely recreated as a National hero. He certainly wasn't a coward and saw action but he was hated as much or more so than loved in his own time.

@UKpostsrs fan And dj too Gandhi falsely raised the hopes of the Dalits that their grievances would be addressed and rectified in order to get their support and that of their leader Dr Ambedkar (aka The Greatest Indian) and then betrayed them. That is one of the reasons they are still oppressed today. He didn't invent their oppression but he helped to perpetuate it.

@UKpostsrs fan And dj too Btw I agree Modi is a lunatic and a very dangerous one too.
