Cue outrage: Gervais' new Netflix special just dropped.

[mirax]

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

I went to see this show live at the London Palladium last year. I posted at the time that if people were pissed at Dave Chapelle, then they are going to have an absolute conniption when they see Ricky Gervais 😂

Clip has been posted on Twitter here: twitter.com/aja02537920/status/1529025826712391681?s=21&t=c8naK-5mWxkUREJqgcIufg

I am a free speech absolutist. I believe you can even make jokes about dead babies and disabled toddlers - and Gervais does, with relish. That's a head up to those here who will be triggered.

Excellent, that's my Tuesday nights viewing sorted.
I still laugh out loud everything I remember his evolution of dogs monologue.

Is this recent?
I know he had a backlash from TRAs a few years ago, but I thought he'd chicken out and made an apology.
I am really hoping this is new material.

Omg adding this to my list. I just rewatched the last one on Netflix. He explains the difference between being the target of a joke and the subject. I think hes clever and I appreciate that.

Anyway, thanks for the clip share. I am having a difficult morning and it stopped me from crying!

Imagine a Ricky and Dave Chappelle double bill!

@HotSauceCommittee it's a new Netflix special, I think based on a show he was doing last year.

That's my evening entertainment sorted! He cracks me up

Hearing him in that clip sums up how absurd the statements are, 'her penis' Glad to see he's not afraid to say these things 😃

Thank you for flagging this!

just read in my newspaper that this is the show he has toured since 2019. SuperNature also on netflix

Watching it now

Holy fuck!

That was just Ricky reading the Green Party London meeting minutes from last night, I believe.

Oh, he "educates" the audience first about irony and the nature of a joke before letting it rip. I paused to go prepare dinner but my tuesday night entertainment is replete.

I think the first gag, calling natal women boring/dinosaurs etc is the best part, because it's something that isn't being explicitly highlighted all that often, and the principal butt of the joke is your hyper-woke Owen Jones type.

It gets less funny once he starts punching down, mocking the male physiques of TW [which, of course, they're all too aware of], and then right at the end gets IMO quite unfunny and probably irresponsible when he repeatedly equates TW in toilets with rape.

‘It gets less funny once he starts punching down, mocking the male physiques of TW [which, of course, they're all too aware of], and then right at the end gets IMO quite unfunny and probably irresponsible when he repeatedly equates TW in toilets with rape.’

He is not mocking people who are all too aware. He is mocking people who are aggressively insisting on other people’s agreement with things that are blatantly false, then abusing them when they will not.

Saving for Friday when it isn't a school night. Hope it doesn't get pulled!

DS has a day off today and got up at 9am specifically to watch it. He called me in on my morning break to rewind and watch the first 5 minutes.

Bloody brilliant.

I LOVE RIcky Gervais, I am never, ever offended by anything he says, or by any other person that I find funny.

if I could marry Ricky, I would, for many reasons💙

He isn't mocking TW for having a male body he is mocking the absolute dogma that this male body is a woman.

Ooh great, I'm excited to watch this! Love Ricky Gervais' comedy.

I think a lot of heads will be exploding today. I don't think Gervais gives a fuck. I wonder whether they also target his wife (who is also a writer - but I don't think she writes about the same subjects).
