I posted this a couple of years ago but it still rings true

When I tried to find this Youtube tried to force feed me a bunch of 'anti-woke' bullshit. Thanks algorithm!

Ricky Gervais getting bent out of shape over gender identification really fucking galling coming from a guy who insists we call him a comedian

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

What the hell happened to Ricky Gervais? He used to be so good giving the sheeple the middle finger they deserved, and then he started appealing to the lowest common denominator.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Lmao Ricky has always gone for the lowest hanging fruit. He used to do reddit-tier atheist jokes, now he does reddit-tier transphobic jokes. He still makes mean-spirited tv. All the dude can do is punch down.
And then once a year insult celebrities with the easiest roasts available.

The problem with Ricky Gervais is not that he got less elitist.

He's got the "Old white rich man syndrome". It's an inevitable condition that happens to any aging white man that managed to amass a certain amount of wealth.

BBC is gunna Killmonger James Acaster cos he's making too much sense

[-] Quexotic@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

I like him but I couldn't shake the impression that the audience was a bunch of black cutouts and that the laughter was a laugh track.

I believe that particular set of 4 performances was done during the height of lockdown.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

Repertoire was form 2018 I think, unless he did another 4 parter I missed?

[-] Quexotic@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

In that case they have no excuse for the fake audience.

The parts i understood were hillarious 🤣

[-] casskaydee@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

His bit interviewing the xenophobic british dude on the street is an all time banger too.

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I came to the comments just to make sure someone had posted this too. I never thought I’d see a england-cool cis white edgy comedian be this based.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

The whole set was pretty good

He was great on taskmaster too

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

His book is great, too! He reads the audiobook, and it's worth every penny. My husband and I listened to it twice in a row and cried laughing both times. Cabbages forever!

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

I didn’t realize he did an audiobook version, I’m in.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

He was amazing on Taskmaster, loved his blow ups.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

He is so good. Very funny on all the British panel shows too.

[-] Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

He's hilarious I love him.

Death to America

[-] Transgenderista@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

such a great standup bit

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Huh, Milo Edwards is a better impressionist than I give him credit for

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

Hate to admit it, but yes

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
