Supernature is taking absolutely, absolutely no prisoners. I am 7 minutes in with a mojito in hand.

Ah can't see the clip as not on twitter and have tried every which way without actually getting an account. Boo

Cripes this

The louder the TRAs shout, the more people will search out his show and the more money he makes 👏 👏 👏

TheRealHousewife · 24/05/2022 14:25

Absolute gold, bang on and very funny 😅 There’s truth in the absurdity!

BootsAndRoots · 24/05/2022 14:04

Does anyone have any statistics on the amount of trans people murdered after Netflix aired the Dave Chappelle show (like was claimed to happen)? The only statistic I have is that one comedian (Dave Chappelle) was attacked on stage.

Ricky Gervais, like many, mocks the people who pretend to be trans (the bearded men, who dress like men, and maintain their genitalia) and mocks sex offenders, and then the outrage is that he's transphobic.

I think we need to recognise the Navratilova effect; if you bully a celebrity until they feel compelled to apologise even though they've done nothing wrong there is the risk they will go away, inform themselves and come back in a much more uncompromising way.

Dave Chapelle: I didn't have a problem with trans people. I really didn't. I do now.

It did happen two days ago @Chooing

Are you trying to make out it's unconnected?

Can I watch this on the train tomorrow or should I watch at home? Am I going to guffaw?

What vandals smashing up some street furniture?

It happens all the time.

Look at their pronouns from that clip perfectly sums up and illuminates the pronoun debacle, they actually believe we can see their special individually chosen pronouns. Target hit in the bullseye, RG.

Well the TRA's are going to lose their shit over this which will be delicious because they won't understand it is not women or transwomen who are the target of the jokes but them.

That's what struck me. Rest of show may be different, but RG is pointing out the insanity of the language, the aggression and the misogyny, not mocking actual trans people.

They won't make the distinction, of course.

Just watched the clip. Fucking hell.

Thank you, RG.

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2022 13:51

And he done this

BootsAndRoots · 24/05/2022 13:36

This is awful news, it means that I will have to subscribe to Netflix again.

Tanith · 24/05/2022 13:35

Dear TRAs,
Ricky Gervais will not care about tantrums and smashed benches.
I’m pretty sure that, so far as he’s concerned, your reaction is even funnier than the sketch.
All you are doing is providing him with more material - probably years of it, the way you’re going… x

@Chooing
Netflix have been advertising his show since April, advertising for it has ramped up in the past week.

WarriorN · 24/05/2022 13:26

FINALLY!

Always enjoy a bit of Ricky. Will catch it later.

Guess it's all in the delivery and few can pull that off. Looking at you, Carr.

Afterlife was great. Very moving and cringey too. 1 & 2 anway. And wtf was the Roisin Conaty character about? A prostitute plying her trade on the streets couldn't look that beautiful and healthy for long. Missing a trick and a few black eyes there. Shit, feel depressed writing that.

littlbrowndog · 24/05/2022 13:23

Beards and cocks. 🤣🤣🤣👏👏🔥

@Mandodari

Hmm, I wonder what happened there ...

Maybe we could get Mr Vine to ask?

frostedfruit · 24/05/2022 13:16

At last. A loud voice ridiculing the ridiculous.
Thank you Ricky 🙏

theemperorhasnoclothes · 24/05/2022 13:16

Ok, that's it, I cave Netflix, I CAVE, I will subscribe to you. Ricky's worth it.
