Watching Making of Derek. I love Derek. It's caring, heartfelt, poignant and funny.

Ricky Gervais is funny, clever and caring (yes, I really do think that!) and not bad looking (even more shocking, I know!)

So, AIBU? I presume I'm alone in this one...

I don't think he's a cock.

He cares about old people and little animals and stuff!

He also writes great parts for women. I love him!

And he's not just a prick...he's a prick with a really irritatingly false laugh.

He's a funny atheist. But not sexy. Nice to have a drink with but you can take him home Grin

I find him intensely annoying.
Clearly a very clever writer but every time he laughs I want to smack him!

There are loads of quotes from him in Richard Dawkins' work. You might need to fight him off!

Jimmy Carr's laugh is beyond awful. Ricky Gervais. Yes, I'd like to have a good giggle with him.

I think he's a fantastic, articulate thoughtful atheist, and we need them.

However,bye is also a sexist, disablist git, who thinks it's OK to use the word "mong".

I sometimes wonder if he's two people.

Why's that Gary? I don't know how to use Twitter. Blush

Sexist and disablist? But I think his writing is great for women (presuming you meant sexism as anti-female). I also presumed that his jokes around disabilities were about the stupid prejudice that people have - e.g. in The Office. The Life's Too Short was just about a daft person. RG includes people with disabilities in his writing - a good thing, no?

I agree, he's highlighting issues but gets misinterpreted.

And the"mong" business? Misinterpretation?

I don't think he's attractive but I do think that he is incredibly talented and have just watched Derek which I love. He is a clever writer whose work gets misinterpreted by those who look to be offended rather than understand the point he is trying to make.
