Trying too hard to be offensive

Love love love Ricky. But this special was lacking his usual creative genius. Seems like he just tried to be offensive for the sake of being offensive.Same themes hashed over and over. The old - anything can be jokes about. Comedians are artists. Just don't listen if you don't like it.No need to constantly explain you are just joking. You've got your audience, just tell stuff to us that's funny. No need to talk about those that don't watch your stuff.Took me three sittings to finish it.Hoping he just gets back to funny stuff and not explaining being offended at a joke is stupid.Just move on and go back to being funny.

It's Ricky, but not at his best.

Ricky Gervais is one of the few great comics of our generation.. Supernature set the bar for standup specials, standing almost alone at the top.. (he had Chappelle for company with "The Closer")Armageddon is good, well worth a watch, but not "Supernature" or "The Closer" good. I found too many of the jokes a bit predictable, something that Ricky is usually great at avoiding, many eye rolling moments and a lot fewer spitting "laugh out loud" punchlines. I look forward to the next Gervais special, or anything that he produces really, while this is not his best work, a stand up comic of this level still delivers when not running on all cylinders.

Still the best stand up.

Not afraid to say it as it is, or as he thinks it is, Ricky Gervais is back on Netflix, and another comedy special.Maybe not as sharp or funny as the last one, but still some very memorable moments and laugh out loud jokes. Ricky daring to say what many people think, but are too afraid to admit to.I am stunned that he's still featuring on Netflix, his 'Brand' of humour doesn't exactly seem to fit in with the company's image.He doesn't hold back, ripping into everyone, and he says, it's alright to laugh at things, it doesn't necessarily mean it's your opinion. Many people have lost the ability to laugh, it's sad.He's about the only stand up comedian left that's actually funny and original.8/10.
