  He is the kind that slowly becomes more and more conservative and less and less funny and then cries about how he got cancelled on a talk show.

  When is the last time he updated his material? He’s out here still spewing that new-atheist line like his mind is powered by Reddit circa 2013.

  Ricky is his persona. A dim man, in a fortunate position, over his head. He’s a stuffy old “ya dad” medium-level bigot like Archie Bunker; he’s only able to get a laugh by being the joke.

  I once saw a podcast or something that had Ricky, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Louie CK. Now Ricky wasn’t the only shit-head at that table, but he did stand out sharply when back-lit by all that talent.

    That might be putting it mildly

    I also watched that discussion and agree that he belonged there even less than Seinfeld, who is very rarely funny, but is at least tolerable on a conversational level.

  You have every right to make shitty jokes, just don’t be offended when no one laughs.

    Oh, but he would be. He is that kind of guy.

    • VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      He is. That’s like his whole act nowadays. Suuuper lame.

  A few years ago James Acaster did a bit in his stand-up about Gervaise: youtu.be/UHqma3rx-xI

  If you want just the Gervaise bit without the lead-up, go to around 2:30

  I love a lot of his work, but he is insufferable. Its like he never got all of his edge lordiness out of his system when he was a teen, and now he is doubling down.

    He’s good enough as a writer when paired with Stephen Merchant, who presumably balances the edgelord side out. When left to his own devices, however…

  If you’re looking for offensive british comedians, just go for Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle. They’re actually funny.

  Someone actually took time to make that image.

    Let’s be real, anybody who would make that image doesn’t have anything better to be doing anyway.

  Isn’t this the same person who pisses and moans when he sees a “woke”?

  Used to be, then what happened?

  • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I realized the “insufferable turd” shtick wasn’t an act. He’s a perpetual edgelord.

      Yeah used to be a big fan of his too - Animals, Politics, Extras etc… then he did a Netflix special going on about how you can’t make jokes about anything anymore and ripping on trans people just to get people to react and I was out. IDK what it is with Netflix specials and these comedians complaining about being cancelled despite the fact they’re saying it on the most popular streaming platform in the world and they decide that some lame jokes about trans people is the best way to demonstrate their argument. Fucking weak.
