On balance, do you like Ricky Gervais's comedy?

[mongers]

Ricky Gervais may not be the most terminally unfunny British Comedian out there but he comes close.

Admittedly, I haven't seen his stand-up shows but his "Comedy" creations such as "The Office" are universally terrible.

Have you seen Life's Too Short? His funniest series imo.

Yes that was excellent.

Most of the rest of his work I can take it or leave it.

[Martinus]

He's what the Guardian would joke about if it incarnated as a living avatar.

I am not sure. SJWs hate his guts.

[MadImmortalMan]

I quite liked Derek, actually. Not everyone's thing, I suppose though.

Earning their ire is not very difficult these days. 

He's always very careful to define the frame of what is 'morally' good and bad in his comedy, before delivering any joke. Always very right-on. But it's ok for the audience to laugh because they are all on the same page; they all know he is one of them.

[MadImmortalMan]

He can be a bit of a dick on the shows where Karl Pilkington travels around the world.

No, I agree. I like his comedy a lot. I am just saying that there is now a lot of morons on the internet who think any joke about Caitlyn Jenner or about rape makes you a monster. Him, Louis C.K. and Bill Maher are probably my favourite comedians active right now.

Yeah and they also hate Joss Whedon. Like most extreme leftists they hate other leftists who are not pure enough more than anybody else.

[katmai]

Don't think ever seen any of his standup.

[Admiral Yi]

Never seen his standup.  Saw a bit of that animated podcast thing.  Not very funny.  The chav was the best part of that show.  Seen two romcoms in which he plays a dentist.  OK, nothing to write home about.

[The Brain]

Yes.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah for the most part, I guess.

[Scipio]

Aside from Extras, no. There's only so much mileage you can get out of comedy from being a cunt, and he's reached that limit.

[Razgovory]

Not particularly.  Also what's Marty's deal with SJW?  Once gay rights seemed secure did he just decide "well fuck everyone else".

Gay rights are hardly secure, at least in Poland. But I value personal liberty and right now SJWs (and the social tendencies they embody) are a bigger threat to it than homophobes are, and I find myself disagreeing with them on almost every issue.
