Ricky Gervais on Sleazy Tories | POLITICS | Universal Comedy 

I worry about my nana, if she's alone and falls, does she make a sound?

Nobody asked...

@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou what are you talking about

Lots of other comedians are funnier than gervais

Try Kevin Bridges, my favorite comedian

*burst There are indeed people that laugh at their own jokes, but Gervais isn't one of them. He points up an absurd situation and laughs (with the audience) at that. Not him being funny but the situation being trenchant. Not the same thing. Read more Karl Pilkington, my suggestion.

@@1258-Eckhart most of the time he laughs before the audience if you pay very close attention to the facial twitches you see it A joke is basically an absurd premise exaggerated for comedic value, this is why observational comedians generally speaking have longer carrers than the single "my girlfriend said/did this" or the "i was on the train the day" comedians that just make stuff up for laughs, they all have their place in the game i guess im just glad most people can finally see the difference between twisted reality and made up premises And in english... "bust out laughing" and "burst into laughter" are both perfectly fine and interchangable

@@hamoostaffat incorrect. Bust out laughing can not be interchanged with the correct, “burst out laughing”. If you’re trying to be one of the cool kids and speak like the gang rappers, then it would correctly be “buss out laughin”. Yw…

@@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse then you might want to speak to the editors of the Cambridge and Oxford English dictionaries that both state that the variation is burst out not bust out A simple Google search would have told you this in seconds

@@hamoostaffat google’s for the gullible and conspiracy theorists!

I like "We Didn't Start the Fire", but Ricky's not wrong there.

@@milesjolly6173 Same here. I'm a lifelong (many decades) fan of Billy Joel but that song is a list put to a musical backing.

I am a big Billy Joel fan too and just to say, yes I know this is comedy and I certainly had no reason to be bothered by it and do not feel that comfortable even making this post, but did so just for context reasons regarding how the song came to be. And yes it is still a list and he usually writes the music first and then adds lyrics to his songs, but he had turned 40 in 1989 when it was written and in a conversation with some 20-somethings, they had said it was a significant time in history with the end of the Cold War approaching and when Billy said he remembers a similar thing at their age, they said nothing significant happened back then. So originally just as a mental exercise, he listed in chronological order year by year the significant events and people from the year he was born in 1949 to the then present day. The "We Didn't Start the Fire" line was in response to it also being said that the current day's problems were down to the previous generation, so Billy's response was: We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

Gay

He was on a lot of US radio shows like Jim Norten and Sam Roberts in the years between. Can tell he really honed the stand up element of his game during those interviews.

@@llcooltomjohn that's some leap....

Your wife says the same about you.

Disagree...I thought his first 2 stand up shows were by far his best and he has progressively got worse.

@@jimalteri8169 nah mate, he did a shitty talkshow in the US a couple of times and apparently that helped him 'hone his skill'

I think the world will be destroyed by those who do evil as crowds cheer them on.

I think the world will be destroyed by lefty 'activists' who believe they're doing the right thing but slowly destroying society and forcing us into this weird cult that is wokeness.

Wtf are we supposed to do against the government

And yet here we have them: Russia, China and the US. We’re fucked anyways, lol

Einstein was part of the status quo and that’s a classic method of psychological manipulation to blame the victim for their own demise.

😂😂😂😂

😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You were a Rosary Rattler too eh? I dabbled in Satanism until I was asked to leave. Religion and I cancel each other out.

When I heard of the monk, I was like "what a berk"

Agnostic is the default position really. I dont know how anyone can be 100% convinced either way.

@@mrdarren1045 It is but it is almost infinitely more likely that the universe originated naturally and wasn't poofed into existence by some omnipotent entity from another dimension.

You don't have to be certain to be a RC. Enjoy the mysteries and enjoy God's glory is why I am still RC. As for scandals, there have been scandals everywhere in a lot of places but it shouldn't make you forget a loving God.

One of these is not like the others.... but to each their own haha :)

Add George Carlin and Mitch Hedberg

Absolutely, these are exactly my four favourite comedians too. Ricky, Billy, Michael and Robin all make me die laughing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Animals and Politics are great

Repeating an urban myth that Ricky's friend claimed happened to his brother (which Ricky doubts anyway) is not a steal, especially when it was not Spike Milligan's to begin with.

Or get a wife/ pay someone to hold it for you :p

"Dangling to and fro.."

Yeah, heard it from Baddiel and others since (still a great gag though!) Also heard the "shat on a train" before, Splike Milligan told it many years ago - again, still a great gag, worthy of repeating!

@@robertfrazer8161 I thought I'd heard it before, and Spike was laughing so hard he was struggling to finish the story.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah heartless idiotic bureaucracy. Nothing common about common sense

ye ,if you think a labour government would care about an ex squaddie your very mistaken.

Can't stand the Tory filth, but Labour are hardly the party that champions army veterans, lol. Become apolitical. You don't have to pick sides.

@@raminybhatti5740 I guess a lot of folks have become apolitical over the years because of inaction from political parties. If they don't deliver then folks won't vote and they don't in droves.

@@paulinnanjing ?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA HE SAID SUI THATS SO FUNNY HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA

"going to town on herself" - you deserve a medal for that.

Geez! Well it is perfectly natural but im sorry if you we re traumatised!

Pics?

Going to town on herself... hilarious

She should have just locked the door

Indeed it was a Spike story👍

Agree. But Spike got it from Eric Sykes in the 50s. So a 3rd hand joke.

@@scouterkeith Yea, Eric updated it from a coach and horse .

But the way Spike told them, i never bought it. The way Gervais does though, that hits home. BTW that was the second "Milligan" in this clip.

I heard it was somebody riding a Dinosaur, that shat his animal skin, he was off to do some clubbing.....

The word Tory originates from the Irish language.[5] The Irish word toruighe is suggested as the origin for the term Tory, with toruighe being used in the 16th century to describe "an outlaw papist" or a "robber that is noted for outrages and cruelty" Tory, on Wikipedia.

Tory was a political party, Founded 1678, Dissolved 1834. Conservative is the successor party. It isn't accurate that a US colonist supporting Britain was one, they'd have to support the Tory party.

Calm so

I think the times did change when Dylan started writing songs, in my opinion he was so far ahead, everybody else gave up trying to do something original and just went after the dosh.

Sad that of all the comments I'm able to reply, but yes they did, I worked in Millets in the early 90s on a Saturday, the Levis were connected up by a wire through their belt loops to an alarm to stop people nicking them 🤣 Dull but true.

Nope it's a story stole from spike milligan

@@1man1bike1road It is an urban myth, although even Spike Milligan said it was a true story when he told it.

Entirely understandable.

He hates being a Conservative because it ruins his little street credibility.

@@craighudson7294 yeah but it would ruin yours too.

No one does there killers

@@1258-Eckhart what a diss. /s

He’d rather die than shag yoko

Did get it or didn't get it? If didn't get it. She wasn't renowned as a beauty.

Ok
