    I used to like him somewhat. But I put on one of those Netflix specials with him and tuned out around 10-15 minutes in because he was just unfunny and hateful. Same with the British bloke, who’s name I forgot. He was pretty based when he called out the actors being friends with Epstein during the Oscars but the latest gig was just “haha, girl with a cock, hahahaha lol, man with tits”. It’s just not funny. If you make jokes about minorities, at least have them be funny and not hurtful. It can be done, just not like this.

      Ricky Gervais is who you’re thinking of. He’s essentially an insult comedian who became famous on a radio show ragging on his costar. In context, he’s just doing his thing…

            dude’s a genuine comic’s comic, he’s funny in all circumstances, but to you he’s just some insult comic who got famous “on a radio show ragging on his costar.”

            like, that’s petty levels of dismissive imho. the kind of shit I expect to hear from whiney zealots pouting about their invisible friends.

            haha lol found the whiney zealots pouting about their invisible friends!
