He's still very popular with incels and the alt-right "new atheism" crowd.
And with people who just think he's funny. Like me. Very funny man.
Not sure about incels. I thought we just agreed people here didn't like him.
Are you sure you said anything? You sound like the parrot of the store.
How funny are his transphobic jokes? How highly would you rate them?
I especially love his transphobia! Ha ha haaaaa~! Making fun of trans folks, the highlight of comedy!

Not that funny. But on average he's very funny imo.
Of course here that instantly means people will call you alt right and stuff.. but okay. Yes, i have to admit that the man can make me laugh very hard and has done so in the past. The Office, The ricky Gervais show with Pilkington and Merchant. And i though After Life was a moving show.
That's literally putting words in my mouth. Never said that. But go on.
Hopefuly the millionare comedian has the time to host between name searching on twitter and saying the one joke over and over again.
Sure, this sudden defense of a known transphobe with "But he's funny" is not amusing in the slightest. And going with "oh it's only Era that hates him" when there is a clear reason why people do not like him is also unamusing. But hey, he's funny, so everything is alright.
Don't give two shits about the Golden Globes but I look forward to watching the actor digs on youtube.
The last time he hosted, it was kinda lame. I liked his hosting the first couple times, not exactly excited about him this time around, but I hope I'm wrong.
No, but why not ask me questions instead of answering it in my name? The one joke you people here refer to wasn't funny to me.
And he has made other jokes that weren't weren't funny to me. So he never made you laugh? Okay, great. But just because he has made me laugh doesn't mean i'm some kind of monster.
I love his XFM show, Extras and the first season of The Office but I'm struggling to think of anything he's done in the last 10 years that I've found funny. Even the Liam Neeson bit from Life's Too Short is 8 years old. He's way way past his sell-by-date.
After Life is a good show imo. Although it's probably more drama than comedy.
I think he's roughly the same as he was. And i can imagine people having seen enough of that.
Ugh. He is not funny to me at all. Gimme Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle. Although I guess Chris only does Oscars and Dave is too rich for that shit now.
Yeah that is just... something spectacular. Not how he thought it would go.
Liking Thriller doesn't make you a monster, but going into a thread about Michael Jackson and pretending he wasn't a monster and gleefully talking about how you like his music makes you a bit of a dick.
There just happens to be something about assholes that makes people want to defend.
You think Ricky Gervais is a monster like MJ?
I understand what you mean but this is a thread about him presenting the Golden Globes.
Obviously not. Michael Jackson is much worse.
Gervais does active harm to those who are most vulnerable in our society, so he doesn't deserve any quarter. He's a piece of shit who is actively making the world a worse place.
It's interesting because on his XFM show, he chides Karl and Steve for not using politically correct terms.
I suppose there's more money in transphobic jokes now. I'm not even entirely sure why he was picked to host the show the first time. Feels like between XFM and that first hosting gig, he wasn't doing much of anything.

He's a transphobic piece of shit. Consider what that makes his supporters and fans.

You say Ricky is transphobic, I say you're deluded.
But please continue to turn the thread into your personal keyboard vendetta when it doesn't have anything to do with it.
Another one going to the VIP list smh...
Actually by his own defintion, he has never actually finished one joke before.
Maybe he can attempt one at the golden globes
Doubtful he will be successful tho.
So you are going to deny he has made many transphobic remarks?
Bruh there's like 5 examples of his lazy and shitty transphobia in this very thread.
It's one thing to admit that and still enjoy his other material (which has basically been the same thing for the last several years so not sure why anyone would defend him now when it's clear his best days are behind him) but to flat out deny his transphobia is wack.
Is he gonna trot out the one joke? On the edge of my seat here!
He's an overvalued millionaire himself.
Also wow these threads always get transphobes to come out of the woodwork.
By that you mean any thread even tangentially about trans people or issues?
I don't understand the struggle here. Not only is Gervais transphobic....he's terribly unfunny. How does he keep getting work?
