  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this video, Ricky Gervais discusses his stance on offensive jokes and the controversy surrounding his Netflix special. He begins by addressing the people who claim to be offended by his jokes, stating that he doesn't care about their feelings and questioning why they take offense. Gervais explains that often, people mistake the subject of a joke with the actual target, and that dealing in taboo subjects can lead to offense. He then shares his experience doing video messages for terminally ill children through the Make A Wish Foundation, as a way of explaining why he tackles sensitive topics. Gervais also briefly mentions his own personal antics at home, involving painters and his mischievous German Shepherds. Overall, this video explores Gervais' perspective on offensive humor and sheds light on his motivations for addressing taboo subjects in his comedy.
  • Subtitles section
  • People come up and they say, I was offended by that joke.
  • My first reaction is, I don't care.
  • That doesn't mean anything.
  • You're telling me how you feel.
  • I want to say, why?
  • And I'll explain to them.
  • I'm willing to explain to them why the joke is an offensive.
  • I've been doing a lot of video messages recently for terminally ill children.
  • And only if they request it, obviously.
  • I don't burst into hospitals and go, wake up, Baldy.
  • Look, me twerking on TikTok.
  • Look.
  • that often offense comes when people mistake the subject of a joke with the actual target.
  • And they're not necessarily the same, particularly if you deal in taboo subjects, which I do.
  • No, I did a lot through the pandemic, presumably because they couldn't even see their own family.
  • And it's through Make A Wish Foundation.
  • Do you know the charity Make A Wish Foundation?
  • They're great.
  • And they give these dying kids there like one wish.
  • And if it's me, I always say yes.
  • And I always start the video the same way.
  • I go, why didn't you wish to get better?
  • That's why I deal with those things, because everyone understands it.
  • What's going on, everyone?
  • Jeremy here from The Quartering.
  • I hope you're having an absolutely wonderful day.
  • I know I am having a pretty good Thursday, although I had to get up pretty dang early.
  • I got some painters in the house because somebody, I won't say who, you know, maybe had a drink or two money and then was having some meal water and sprayed the meal water all over the place and pantry and then tried to scrub it off the wall and then
  • scrubbed all the paint off.
  • I don't know who did that, but that was a long time ago.
  • We're finally getting that fixed among other things when you have three German Shepherds, but that's neither here nor there.
  • Wow, what a tangent.
  • Ricky Gervais has now responded to a petition that was put out to have his Netflix special removed.
  • By the way,
  • all day.
  • I'm going to remind you guys we have our year end blowout sale at Coffee Brown Coffee up to sixty four percent off while supplies last.

  • So stock up now won't get there in time for Christmas, but certainly for New Year's.

  • And, you know, as on the scale of like dark humor things, this is pretty light.
  • I mean, this is pretty light.
  • He revealed in the actual skit.
  • I say I've been doing all these videos, blah, blah, blah, only if they requested it.
  • I'm literally saying in the joke that I don't do that, but people have a reaction.
  • They don't analyze it.
  • They feel something.
  • That's what offense is.
  • It's a feeling.
  • Ricky continued, that's why, quote, I'm offended is quite meaningless.
  • What do you want me to change?
  • The star's joke prompted a petition calling for Netflix to remove the skit.
  • I'm sure there are tens of people that signed that from the comedy special.
  • And when asked if he had seen the specific wording of the petition, Ricky replied, good luck.
  • That's why I say to them, good luck.
  • I'll even retweet it.
  • Again, this is like, you know, obviously this is a, I talk about this kind of thing all the time, but this is really a product of, you know, offense culture, but more than offense culture.
  • It's coming from a time of, you know, we've got it pretty dang good.
  • A lot of people, the people that are full offended, they don't have anything else going on in their life.
  • They probably are good financially.
  • They got someone, you know, they got a roof over their head.
  • They don't have any real struggles yet.
  • They still want those victimhood points.
  • So they, you know, pretend to be offended about stuff.
  • I don't think many kids in the hospital even thought that joke wasn't funny.
  • Ricky then revealed how he deals with criticism in some of his comedy routines, explaining that not really, they just want to be heard.
  • He's right.
  • I'll explain no.
  • You've mistaken the subject of the joke with the actual target.
  • Of all the millions of people that watched it and loved it, only a few didn't like it.
  • If I give them special attention and try to placate them, I've annoyed the other millions of people that actually got the joke.
  • They go, no, you've ruined it for us.
  • So I've got a duty to the people that actually like it and get it.
  • I wouldn't sit down with a heckler, would I?
  • If I'm not playing to twenty thousand people, I wouldn't stop the show and explain it to them.
  • I ignore them.
  • That is, of course, the crux of all of this.
  • You're seeing some change in this kind of offense culture and
  • You know, basically woke comedy lasted about thirty seconds and now that's all gone.
  • But you see titans of comedy like Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais.
  • You even have a guy like Shane Gillis, by the way, who's pretty unapologetic and even will like dare to say, even in a joking manner, you know, positive things about Trump, things that he likes.
  • He does a Trump impression, all this stuff like Trump's very memeable.
  • You know, of course it's hilarious, but
  • You don't have to be offended all the time.
  • Even Trump fans, you don't have to be offended if you don't like people making fun of Trump.
  • It's just jokes.
  • That's all it is.
  • And I think if people are personally, personally offended, and it really sticks with them, you've got other issues.
  • Probably deep seated issues of this yearning to control others, probably because you have no real control in your own life.
  • Ricky then spoke out about whether his comedy was representative of his actual views on controversial issues, particularly with the irony and satire of often playing a character.
  • Some people get confused and think that the joke is a window to the comedian's true soul.
  • It's just not true.
  • It's a joke.
  • No one does this with puns, do they?
  • Two blokes didn't really walk into a pub.
  • Among those hitting out at the comic for his joke were the British disability charity, Scope.
  • During his joke about the Make A Wish request, Ricky said, I've always said, yes, we know about the joke.
  • I'm not going to reread it.
  • Yet Scope warned that language like this has consequences.
  • saying that we wish we were surprised by the reports that Ricky Gervais used ableist slurs in his new video special.
  • Here's really why they spoke out to get their name in the headlines, to get more donations, to get more clout.
  • Now, look, they're a charity that helps disabled people.
  • That's, I mean, you know, in the grand scheme of things, I'm not calling them like some kind of nefarious evil thing.
  • But that's why they did it.
  • They issued a statement.
  • I mean, do you think that the people that work at a disability charity, where their job is to try and raise enough money to help people who need wheelchairs or medical care or amputations, they have real jobs with real issues to deal with.
  • They're doing good work helping people.
  • And I don't actually think they were offended by it.
  • I think that maybe their social media manager was.
  • You see, he argues that he wouldn't use this language in real life.
  • I'm sorry, language like this has consequences, and we're not accepting that Gervais is saying it's a joke to justify it.
  • He argues that he wouldn't use this language in real life, but his stand up routine doesn't exist in a parallel universe.
  • The stage is real, Netflix is real, the people this kind of language impacts are real.
  • Two days later, Scope said it had been forced to turn off replies on Twitter after receiving hateful messages, while adding that we aren't here to dictate what anyone should or shouldn't find funny, but that's exactly what they're doing, right?
  • That's exactly what they're doing.
  • They're trying to say not only that you're not allowed to think it's funny,
  • But you're a bad person if you think it's funny.
  • It's, you know, ableist.
  • They call it a slur.
  • Because he said, what, baldy?
  • It doesn't even add up.
  • Oh, the r slur.
  • Oh my god.
  • Okay.
  • It emboldens other people.
  • Yes, everyone should be able to say whatever words they want.
  • Like, I don't even understand, uh, who cares?
  • You know, he's not calling anyone that he's just using it in a joke.
  • The charity added, I mean, do they, do they say they go to the black community, uh, and rappers and say that they have to stop saying the N word because young white kids hear it in their rap music.
  • And if they want people to stop saying the word, then they should stop saying it.
  • I mean, there's actually some truth to that.
  • Like if an entire generation of young suburban white kids who buy rap music didn't grow up, you know, every other word here in the N word, it will probably disappear from the cultural lexicon.
  • Like it'd be very rarely heard or used.
  • Okay.
  • So that's why I don't put a lot of, you know, people say, you know, it's not like I go around saying N word or whatever, but you get what I'm saying?
  • Like,
  • You know what?
  • You don't get to say it and also be offended by it.
  • That doesn't work.
  • I'm not in this whole like, oh, it's our word so we can use it.
  • No, if it's an offensive word, then you should not use it either.
  • I think that that's true.
  • Do you think somebody who has mental retardation, are they allowed to say retard?
  • You know, I don't know.
  • Is that the rule?
  • Like only mentally retarded people can say that word.
  • Is that is that the rule?
  • Because that's not what they're proposing.
  • They're saying you're just not allowed to say it, period.
  • Now you see Cescova, a mother who says her child Katie bravely battled cancer, also launched a petition urging Netflix to remove the offensive skit from the platform.
  • It has since received more than five thousand signatures.
  • Ooh, five thousand.
  • The special is probably viewed by five million people.
  • Former X on the Beach star Ashley Kane also hit at Ricky for making jokes about terminally ill children.
  • Ashley's daughter, Alizea, passed away when she lost a battle to acute myeloid leukemia or leukemia in April when she was just eight months old.
  • Look.
  • Yeah, that's like that can suck.
  • And then the joke doesn't have to be about you.
  • All right.
  • I understand why that might affect you personally.
  • You're allowed to feel a certain way about it, but you're not allowed to go out there and like dictate what Ricky Gervais or anyone else is allowed to say or certainly as a joke.
  • So it's I think he has the perfect response.
  • Obviously, all.
  • prayers up for sick kids and sick adults.
  • It's not like cancer doesn't affect a lot of people.
  • It sucks, but what are you supposed to do?
  • Never talk about it?
  • Never make jokes about it?
  • It's ridiculous.
  • I think he responded perfectly to this.
  • I hope you enjoyed this video.
  • If you did, make sure you leave a like on it, and we'll talk to you again real soon.
