This must be extra super funny because I don’t get it.
I am not sure there is an actual joke.
The first guy is Jimmy Savile - Famous in the UK - Sexually abused over 100 people; kids, seniors, male, female, and everything in between.
The second guy is Russel brand - Famous (only kinda) in the UK - Accused of sexual assault very recently.
The third guy is Ricky Gervais - Famous, from the UK - not accused of any sexual assaults at this time.
It’s just a joke based on Gervais’ style of ‘jokes’
He’s a bit of a cunt in real life, not dissimilar to his onstage performance, which he always says is just a joke…
His, I never saw anythingness, about Charlie Hanson always seemed sus as well
Did Gervais do something? I missed it
Nope. He rubs some people the wrong way and he’s made some offensive jokes that pissed off others. Par for the course of any celebrity comedian and very undeserving of being on a list with Jimmy fucking Savil.
When Ricky makes inappropriate jokes, it’s almost lovable cause he does it in a trolling way, but you can tell he’s actually not an intolerant guy, he’s just that mate we all have that loves dark comedy and when you tell him it’s not appropriate, he gets a sly smile cause he just thought up a really dark one while you were chewing him out
The other two were protected for years by fear of litigation. So whoever made this meme is implying Gervais has victims too but it’s being suppressed by lawyers.
Not yet but be honest, you wouldn’t be surprised if he had.
And that’s how these scandles work.
Ricky is the opposite of a scum bag. It’s one of the few personalities you know is legit decent. No signs of narcissism megalomania or general out of touchness. He’s incredibly grounded
No /s tag?
I worked with him at XFM, he’s a grade A cunt of the highest order. The worst bully I’ve ever worked with.
Backstage at Live8 Ricky Gervais was at the side of the stage. Paris Hilton walked up to him and said how much she liked his stuff.
Ricky: “Have we met before?”
Paris “Yes. I’m Paris Hilton”
Ricky “Oh, sorry Paris, I didn’t recognise you without a cock in your mouth.”
Sounds pretty scummy, and not part of an act.
“I nearly knocked this old woman over,” he said, in a patter about drink-driving, “but I didn’t. I raped her.”
Hilarious
Jim Davidson 2.0
You can’t type out an out of context joke and act offended dude, that’s not how jokes or comedy works
Pretty sure everyone is realising he is Jim Davidson 2.0 with his latest effort at “stand up”
I guess this would make more sense if I knew who the first guy was. I know about the charges against Russell Brand. No idea his connection to Ricky Gervais, if any.
@xantoxis the first guy is a British entertainer named Jimmy Saville. There were rumours about him for years but he was very litigious.
After his death it was found that he had sexually assaulted or raped at least 400 people, including children, boys, women, and old people. It was also found he probably assaulted corpses in a hospital morgue.
Although far less prolific Russell Brand is also a British entertainer, again there were rumours about him assaulting or raping people for many years but again people were scared of litigation. British defamation laws are very strict.
The implication is that Ricky Gervais has more in common with the other two than just being a British entertainer.
The first is a European kiddy diddler. Forget the name. Gervase is just a bigot as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge.
@Alenalda not just kids, the guy also molested adults, the elderly, and even corpses.
lol how is he a bigot? Stop trying to use big words you don’t understand.
The dude is a comedian. Fucking lighten up.
I mean can comedians not be bigots…?
I was recently invited to be a co-organiser of a stand-up comedy festival. I’d never done one before so I was given the rundown before we got to work.
The first thing they told me is that over the past ten(ish) years, comedy festival audiences had completely changed from people coming out to laugh, to people coming out to find ways to be offended, like people who once rode roller coasters for the fear and thrill, now riding them to see how much they could sue for being intentionally frightened.
And it’s true. I saw it actually happening. Every night of comedy two or three people would yell out “inappropriate” or “intolerant” instead of just laughing at what were essentially jokes told in a place centred around joking.
People are dogshit now. We’ve lost our fucking way. We’ve actually gone to war with humour and laughter.
Maybe you just hired shit comedians
You sound like someone who would yell out “inappropriate”.
My friend, you are doing the thing. You’re saying it is everyone else that’s the problem.
ok I take it back, pulling this crap is the height of goddamn comedy.
Have you met me?? Have you even looked at the last half dozen comments I’ve left any given day?
This definitely happened.
You sound like someone who would shout racial slurs and say “I’m just doing a bit!”
DON’T TALK SHIT
Only joking!
Isn’t that his schtick?
