The critics hate Ricky Gervais' new Netflix comedy special...
...so, it must be fantastic. Razz

It's "trans" something or other. Ooh, and bigoted! I can't wait to watch it.

Don't forget that nifty memo Netflix put out a couple of weeks ago, telling its employees that if they don't like the company's content, go find another job. Razz

New Ricky Gervais Netflix comedy special torched by media critics for ‘bigotry,’ ‘humiliation of trans people’
quote:
Variety described Gervais’ set as "graphically describing the things he hates about a group of people already forced to the margins of our society by prejudice and, increasingly, by law."
Marginalized?? These freak motherfuckers are marching down Main Street! They're in our schools, grooming children! Marginalized?? They are anything but that.

How convenient Netflix came out the other day with a corporate release saying don’t like our content go get a job elsewhere. They new this new special will make the Dave chapel reaction seem tame. And I love watching the professionally aggrieved lose their collective minds.

Added to my list.

The article is hilarious. These people really don't understand what real humor is - lol

I heard a clip from the special earlier today. It was short, hilarious, offensive as hell if you're a looney leftist, and 100% the truth.

I hope the entire comedy special is in the same vein.

I'm 10 mins in and laughing my ass off.

In just those 10 mins, he's not only addressed the trans stuff, but he's talked about laughing at a baby's funeral and beating up disabled toddlers. A joke about dead babies and punching a disabled kid, and the thing people are getting offended about is he joked about women who have dicks...

I got about 10 minutes in or so and am really hoping it picks up. Granted I had a long day and I am not much of a fan of stand up. So I will give it another go.

And who ever did the laugh track needs to tone it done quite a bit. The laughter was center stage over him in the mix many times.

I don't watch Bill Maher but do follow Jimmy Dore and he just put out Bill's monologue.
Seems people are fed up with the stupidity of it all.

Remember, kids- it's not important that you like it. It's only important that they hate it! Razz

They have to tolerate it and oh my God, that's torture for them!

Some parts were so so and others hilarious. He has another one on Netflix I'll watch soon.
No doubt the usual suspects will be terribly offended by much of it and he could care less.
On second thought, he'd be more concerned if they weren't upset in some way.
