'Ricky Gervais Destroys Woke Culture' | The World According To Mike Graham 

Regardless the politics Ricky Gervais is a brilliant stand-up. A true master of the comedic art. And he's just being himself with the anti-woke common sense. Woke is ripe for parody.

Ricky is a genius, look at the stuff he has done. He goes to the edge but knows just when to stop. People criticised Derek. But his portrayal was brilliant and Derek came over as the smartest most caring individual.

Ricky Gervais is hysterical and anyone offended, watch something else instead. Oh, and get a life

I used to be woke. I was constantly getting triggered. I protested everything that offended me, and demanded it all be cancelled. Finally I grew out of it, and went to preschool.

I feel sorry for the younger generation. They seem to be lacking knowledge, lacking an understanding of the truth, lacking in a sense of humour, lacking in self understanding and awareness and even lacking in being able to form relationships and create little ones to carry on the human legacy. Basically, they seem to be lacking the capability of living a full life and taking personal responsibility. It is a very sad state of affairs imo

Ricky Gervais is a crusader for comedy as we know it and is defiant in his material. There are a few comedians who will go right up to the line and push it wask against the woke, deadpan snowflakes who would be delighted to find everything offensive. However, good comedy points out the humour in life, even when life can be horrible. We should start to laugh in the face of depression which is the alternative to good humour. Ricky Gervais should get a Knighthood from our current Goon liking King and maybe they together would even make a joke about that, and quite correctly. The awards system, due to our politicians, has been made into another comedy. I am sure King Charles can see that.

The problem is that once Ricky Gervais gets tired / too old for stand up , there will be nobody new to replace him. Sure, he was too big to cancel, but the woke brigade just need to bide their time and wait for him to retire. After that, there will be nobody. Any comedian who steps one inch out of line will be gone. And this is scary, because comedy is the best way to stand up against this kind of mind control

What Ricky actually said at the end about the animal charity was that all the extra money from the sale of VIP tickets would go to the charity and that it had currently raised about £2m.

I had to watch that third skit because it had me in stitches, 'you'll be in your house crying'.

Apart from being a good and honest comedian, Ricky recently gave some huge amounts of money to certain animal charities. I respect you so much for that Ricky.

Ricky is everything good about comedy.. Also, frankly he's not wrong..

I like JJ's suggestions very much. Mike, I can't believe people hate you - I think you're terrific! :)

Saw him in Brum last year. Outstanding. He was genuinely sick, dosed up to the eyeballs with flu medication, and still pulled off an amazing show. The audience screamed and hollered at every woke joke he came out with. Almost like a release of our suppressed humour.

Andrew Lawrence is a very funny guy, on the comedy circuit for 15 yrs and appeared on TV He Put out a tweet, he was cancelled. For a tweet. It nearly broke him. Luckily RU-vid saved him. He is brilliant and hates the ‘comedy’ industry

Comedy greats like George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce blazed a trail and 'offended' ' both the left and right snowflakes.

Mandated ID for social media is very authoritarian. Mike you shouldn't be laughing you should of pushed back on him.

Yeah the public love it, even us 77 year old woke people. 🇨🇦🇾🇪🇨🇦

I'm a big fan of Ricky Gervais but I get he's not to everyone's taste. That doesn't mean that because somebody doesn't like him or what he says that they have the right to try and cancel him or anybody else. If you don't like it don't watch it, it's that simple. I don't find Frankie Boyle or James Acaster funny but I wouldn't want them cancelled. Just live and let live.

That says it all “how do you get from Manchester to London if there’s no trains?” 🤦‍♂️

Who watches TV ‘comedy’ these days? It’s social indoctrination On RU-vid it’s really interesting. I regularly see clips of Bernard Manning now. And he was hilarious. Comedians that were frozen out by the alternate comedy scene of the 80’s are making a comeback. Stan Boardman, Mick Miller, even the guys on GBNews. Perhaps times are a changing

I saw the stand up last night. It comes to something when what Ricky said, is controversial. It was not laugh out loud funny . Just poking fun at the ridiculousness of modern culture. Roy chubby brown, Jim Davidson, etc love to see them broadcast on netflix

JKR Rowling has faced appalling attacks and threats.

Love it hopefully the pushback against the nutjobs has begun.

Woke's never get the jokes. 😉

Who is the lady on the right? I missed the intro.

We need him to help lead the fight against the people who want to tell us how to think and feel and what we can and can’t say. They won’t win!

That woman is off her rocker

It's shameful cancelling anyone for taking a stand against an ideology.

"Mike Graham takes a 'Deep Dive' into the week's biggest stories and votes one lucky guest, 'Prime Minister for the Day'. Anything could happen in the next half hour. This week Mike Graham takes a deep dive into how comedian Ricky Gervais is destroying woke culture." Apparantly, wokeism has been the biggest story this week. I thank you for the video, but I am more concerned with reality than some random dudes "feelings" (apparantly the host feels that wokeism has been "the biggest story" - and that's just daft)

Keep it going Ricky, great job.

Completely agree about everyone getting maternity/paternity leave, not just parents. It seems really unfair that some people get extra time off work fully paid, whilst others don't.

I think a entertainer is immune from woke if they are very wealthy and successful but if they are starting out in the business the woke ideology will destroy their career. this is why the successful entertainers must keep pushing down the barriers to make room for the new and up coming stars.

Speaking as someone who's not far off 60 I wouldn't agree with Ricky that we've had the best 60 years of the planet, in terms of freedom. 35 maybe, from when the sixties freedoms properly got going for the average person in about 1966, to September 2001. Since that dark day, the internet has helped to spread division and woke lunacy everywhere.

Good old Ricky! Whats happened to Stewart Lee lately? Do you think he's knows it's all over for the Lefties?

2:51 😂😂😂😂😂

People haven't been afraid to laugh at things. Current day "comedian's" are terrified of saying what they're thinking.

Notice, though, that they dare not risk mentioning Russell Brand as they would end up tying themselves up in a knot of contradictions

Bring bk Gadaffi 😮 my friend from Zimbabwe would have a fit if he herd that. This guy is a Nutter, my friend has told me plenty about the times about Gaddafi’s time and it sounds awful

He’s not upsetting us leftys as us leftys love Ricky fed up to back teeth of this woke comedy! Ricky is pretty left himself!! Love Ricky since day one…Can’t stand Frank’s Boyle! Remember!

Paternity leave is shocking, let’s talk about dads being able to help to look after baby and mother during the most stressful time (Hormones all over the place, lack of sleep, possible cluster feeding baby etc) and the fact that they can’t afford to in most cases. He is also sleep deprived and wants to be present with mother and baby (Some don’t but many do).

Whenever someone says; You can't say that. I hear it in the voice of the groundskeeper from Are You Being Served Again. You caan't sayy thaaAat!

Prime minister for a week, comedy gold fair play 😂

id rather vote for someone whos personality I know something about rather than a polished fake person who doesnt tell you who they are or what they really believe

Vote Reform, the country should have compulsory voting and they would win, Sadiq does not want ID for votes but they had to have them for the fireworks?

Anyone who thinks the railway trains should renationalised should have lived in the 20th century! How would you otherwise explain explosion in the passenger journeys - according to the statistics.

Frankie Boyle talking about raping children wasn't funny..and Ricky Gervais doing it doesn't make it funny either..

Why is it that people call unfiltered straight truth presented by people like by Ricky or Ismo as comedy ?

Amazing this generation think they work hard. 😂😂😂😂

I wish he would let his guests speak

Dont kill the show with that jj😡😡😡

I don't think anyone under 35yo should be able to vote

It’s very interesting how people are so ignorant about what is left and right…wake up,all criticism of today’s world is certainly left…

Why are ‘lefties’ wholly highlighted as being offended! So do you know that ‘right wingers’ aren’t offended! Your choice to simply spew a narrative that suits your political ideology!

Mike graham is the best thing on talk radio we just see enough of him to keep it fresh and l don’t know what happend to steve allan on LBC but the person who has taken his place is too political and left wing i have stopped listening to the station as I can’t stand the rest of them either

Andrew Lawrence is another brilliant anti woke comedian.

Disappointed in James 😢

Railways were privatised under Labour? Sure about that? Thick as mince.

They are all the same.

This is why mock the week died.Too many leftie woke comics

One look at his special, I think James Acaster got him panicking cause he's not got one good joke 😂 too scared of offending the anti woke crowd

That phoney hysterical laughter is very annoying

Ahhhhh poor Mike Graham He thinks his got a Celebrity friend. No Mike..youre still a prick and Ricky's just a great comedian who can find funny anywhere.

Why was the girl complaining about trump's presidency? Compare it to bidens presidency love! Chalk and cheese! Trump was the cheese.

There is no comparison between Ricky Gervais and Dave Chapelle….One is a genius and the other is an idiot (I am sure it has to do with heritage and colour )….

She's delusional.

The more I see JJ the more I dislike him! He’d like to live in an authoritarian nightmare.

Agree with her single woman deserve’non maternal leave & quote‘you’re the most corrupt person on talk tv ‘ with that ‘ finding a fiver today I believe 2024 is the age of Aquarius 🙏💖

The only thing Ricky Gervais has ever destroyed is my will to live!!

That's an old ABBA song isn't it, Tom?

He's a National Treasure...James Acaster is a spoilt toddler, not seen a comic like Gervais since George Carlin

Ricky is just outright hilarious. A true legend.

I love Ricky Gervais, with him around I know free speech reigns.

I love love love Ricky. He just makes sense in the most comical of ways. 😂😂😂

Don't attempt to logically rebut woke prescriptions or proscriptions. The vast majority of them didn't get there by logic, nor is that their aim. It is conclusions all the way down. They begin and end with moral conclusions, whether they contradict themselves or other of their own moral conclusions or not. It is exactly like religion in this sense. It is a religious cult. Treat it - and the vast majority of adherents - accordingly.

Ricky Gervais is an absolute hero! He could have some fun with The British Film Institute's "warnings" about James Bond films. Will we have a dwarf as James Bond? I guess there's a danger he'd be both shaken and stirred.

🎵OH RICKY YOUR SO FINE YOUR SO FINE YOU BLOW OUR MINDS HEY RICKY.🎵😃😀😆😁😄😂🤣👍

Good on Ricky, I am 64 and good comedy for me has always been edgy.

Ricky - Number 1 comedian, sell out tours time after time and James Acaster is where exactly?? An appearance on Dave and Channel 4 if he's lucky. I bet Gervais is well and truly gutted with the comparative success to Acaster.

Brilliance. Simplicity. Truth. And savvy enough to give people what they want. Bravo Ricky.

Love, love, Ricky Gervais, saw his Armageddon tour live. A fantastic evening. ❤

If he offends you then he's probably telling a truth.

Is there such a thing as woke comedy? What can they tell jokes about?

Woke cant handle being mocked. It's their kryptonite.

Yes. Gone right off Boyle!

dont get it twisted , Ricky is very much a liberal leftie , hes just figured out that making jokes about wokeness gets attention

Woke comedy is not dying as it has never been alive

The BBC has killed off good comedy by being too Woke and not allowing cutting edge stuff! The whole idea for having comedy is to raise otherwise & attack difficult subjects! The three main comedy programs on the BBC ( Mock the week, Live at the Apollo, & Have I got news for you.) have all deteriorated into bland but vulgar nonsense or personal bodily functions, all that are not funny!

I'd like 6 months off paid because I haven't had a kid.... wow, are you for sure??? You want a business to pay you to do nothing? Has this woman got any business knowledge at all?? How absolutely ridiculous

So glad they discussed the hypocrisy of Frankie Boyle. His awokening is as stark as that of 'The Queen of Mean' Lisa Lampanelli..she even dyed her hair blue. Neither of them are funny any more.

Funny how people who say Melissa Poulton is a real woman, don't like us laughing at them.

As a “lefty”, I find Ricky hilarious! Love his shows. I hope 2024 is the year everyone toughens up and lightens up. Happy New Year, all.

I read a Guardian article that said RG wasn't funny! Now I know to just watch EVERYTHING that The Grauniad says is rubbish because I know it probably won't be 😂

We need more lke him!😂

Ricky Gervais has always been very funny, He with Stephen was great on radio X, The office interview with Keith is genuinely hilarious. Boyle was the soldiers comedian now he's totally unfunny. Comedy is subjective and personal

Ricky Gervais is brilliant!

People who have to look after aging parents or sick family members need time off also.

Yes we do have compulsory voting in Australia and it's a good idea. I hate it when people whinge about it. it's a s simple as this.... every vote counts. No whinging if you didn't get the government you wanted if you didn't bother to vote.

JJ shrieks too much

I love Ricky Gervais - funny! funny! funny! 🤣🤣👏👏👏👍

Ricky gives me hope……excellent actor, comedian, writer etcetc.
