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'm sure this is just coincidence

It's on Netflix you say, been meaning to sign up to that. Thanks OP

@Mandodari

Hmm, I wonder what happened there ...

As with so many targets of TRA’s anger, it’s completely misplaced.

Ban bench breaking bastards!!!

(I love a bit of Ricky, hated him in the '90's but 'Extras' made me laugh so much.)

I don't usually watch Ricky Gervais to be honest but will check this out. I'm sure there will be a backlash but they are now an occurrence that is beyond tedious.

Chappelle was trending again yesterday for making people feel unsafe, etc ("ambushed", according to Jezebel) after performing a surprise guest spot somewhere. Quite what his critics are doing at a comedy show in the first place these days is beyond me. They clearly can't be trusted with the concept.

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

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

Maybe we could get Mr Vine to ask?

Beards and cocks. 🤣🤣🤣👏👏🔥

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.

That happened two days ago

FINALLY!

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

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?

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

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

And he done this

Cripes this

Just watched the clip. Fucking hell.

Thank you, 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.

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.

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.

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.

What vandals smashing up some street furniture?

It happens all the time.
