Jimmy Carr usually gives his most “offensive” jokes plenty of context and explanation, wrapping them in a disclaimer of “I’m about to say something considered offensive, but the joke is funny for these reasons…”
Gervais often simply punches down without any regard or care. As with most standup, it is almost certainly a persona of sorts, but plenty of people can easily come away with the impression he is being genuine.
It’s comedy guys it’s supposed to have a reaction. If he was a politician I would be worried.
But if we are honest most artists are fucked in the head.
Besides no actual quote on the article, not to mention that most of what he does is make people who are miserable laughing at their own situation.( I suspect BC he’s miserable too and way too cynical for someone who’s dumb, so yes he’s taking out of you a reaction doesn’t really matter what BC most things in life don’t)
