Dialogzitate:

Ricky Gervais: [in the summer drought of 1976 in Reading, where Gervais grew up] There was a government advert at the time that said, "Save water: have a bath with a friend." Which I did. I say "a friend"; he was more a friend of my Granddad's. Ten quid's a lot to a kid in Reading. We used to call him "Granddad Charlie", actually. He wasn't our Granddad, he was just an old bloke who used to live across the road from us and used to always come round to play with us whenever he saw our parents go out.

Still funnier than most comedians, not AS funny as his 1st stand-up DVD Animals an '8' as opposed to Animals '10'. I hate people who claim "I'm not easily offended, but I found this offensive!!!" Errr YES you ARE easily offended. Anyone who finds ANY comedy offensive is easily offended. Offense is NOT caused by words its caused by the underlying intent or actions accompanying them. As far as I'm concerned ANY comedian can say anything about anything they like, as long as it is funny and not malicious. There's too many white liberals complaining on behalf of various minority groups, totally against their wish. Just cos you're not oppressed yourself it doesn't give you the right to carry the mantle for the gay, black, single mothers out there. Sorry to rant O.T but in Gervais case it is needed. His comedy is NOT for those "not easily offended", (whatever that means, who defines 'easily'?) No it is for those "not offended by comedy", period!.

One last point I'd like to make about Gervais Stand-ups is a sign of their greatness is how when down the pub you repeat a line or 2 with a fellow fan you are both in stitches. Be it mimicing the 'cumming out the window' or politely asking if you can "... in their hair", (shrieks with laughter). It has that great quality of being great to repeat and get even more enjoyment remembering it than when originally watching it! Tears streaming !! How great is that!!!! - Yo Word
