The Humourless Woke

Posted on by

The left wing establishment and their predictable reaction to a comedian telling jokes.

What a bunch of joyless, humourless cunts the left wing establishment are.

The left claim to not be the establishment, although it’s blindingly obvious that they are. But that’s a cunting for another day.

Ricky Gervais has recently made another stand up show for Netflix where he has had another pop at the prevailing woke narrative.

Last year it was the alphabet people.
This time it’s the dinghy divers and Saint Gary of Lineker who have been the target of his observations.

YouTube

Predictably – the MSM have accused him of being “lazy” and “punching down” and his show not being funny blah blah fucking blah.

The Indie

Bless them and their delicate little feelings. Proof that the uncomfortable truth, disguised as a joke -is literally kryptonite to these disingenuous arseholes.

How dare a comedian make jokes to an audience who have paid to watch him, about a subject matter that is so depressingly fucking obvious to the vast majority of the inhabitants of these islands.

Maybe next year Ricky should record a Netflix special where he gets stuck into Nigel Farage, Donald Trump and Brexit.

That would definitely give the establishment something to all collectively laugh into their lattes about and miraculously gain him rave reviews from the likes of the (not so) Independent and Guardian.

Unfortunately for the wokeys, Gervais is too successful and famous to be cancelled plus he doesn’t give a fuck who he offends. Good.

  2. He’s a talentless unfunny cunt. Don’t care if he offends, in fact I’m pleased that he offends the woke but it does not change the fact that he’s as funny as the pox and should fuck off and get a real job, one he can do.

    • I don’t think Ricky Gervais is the best stand-up, and wouldnt say his latest show Armageddon was all that good,but iI wonder if you’ve amassed a nine figure fortune performing a job you can’t do?

      • There are plenty of people who have become rich despite having no discernible talent. Most folks rate talent by what the telly tells them is talent. FFS Taylor Swifts caterwauling racket springs instantly to mind, as does the fat tosser in the frock, both of them in fact, the one with a cunt and the one who is one.

      • Again, the evidence suggests that Taylor Swift has ‘some discernable talent’ rather than none, even if much of it lies in self promotion and expensive production much like the sort of hype and eyewatering production costs surrounding Michael Jackson’s ouevre from the mid eighties through to the mid nineties.

        Perhaps a more correct example would be the Kardashian sisters, although while not talented as traditional performers they do promote themselves as a brand and as cultural figures. The same could be said for the Spice Girls although Simon Fuller made most of the money from their brand.

        Ricky Gervais has made his money through comedy as a performer, writer and producer, so it does suggest a fair amount of talent.

  3. Straight white male uses his privilege to make people laugh. Disgusting.

    Gervais, you’re cancelled.

  4. I partially agree with the wokeys regarding laziness, but on account of the fact that Ricky has a tendency to recycle or reference old jokes from previous appearances.

    I recently watched this Netflix Special as well as the one before it and they weren’t really that funny. His best stuff is all of his appearances on the Golden Globes but he’s been steadily declining in quality since then.

    SPOILER ALERT!!

    I did laugh a couple of times during this special like the joke about him as a young lad wanking off a pedo for a free puppy.

    • I agreee, Armageddon is lazy and panders to the anti-woke audience all too readily. However ‘punching down’ is just as lazy a criticism for comedy.

      Punching down is frequently made funny and no wokey can explain why it shoukdn’t be done without apoealling to their framework of ‘oppression’.

      • Punching down seems to be neo-marxist bullshit which, like all neo-marxist bullshit, is not reflected in observable reality.

        The woke aversion to people using the word retard is a curious one because they claim to be standing up for mentally disabled people but the word retard is seldom used against people with genuine mental retardation.

        Rather it’s used as a synonym for the word “idiot” when somebody has said something dumb as fuck. I can see why wokeys are offended by the word.

      • I think it’s because “woke” and “retard” go together like “cake” and “custard”

        That’s why it offends them.

  5. I’m getting sick of all this “punching down” bollocks. Although it’s more impactful and funnier to punch up (like at the Golden Globes); that doesn’t mean that it’s unfunny to punch down. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    If any group is off-limits to mockery and humour, then that group has been granted privilege and is subsequently elevated, therefore making their mockery punching up; not down. What a paradox.

  6. Extremely clever a funny comedian and actor. Funny as fuck
    Give em hell buddy I’m laughing 😂 along with you

  7. Come on now, there’s nothing funny about dinghy rats, unless they drowning in the channel.

  9. All the “game” and “celebraty” shows are packed the “stand ups”. Never heard of any of the cunts, they can’t find that much in this Rotten world to laugh at, unless it is Trump, Tories or Brexit.
    Comedy died with Frank Carson.
    Good morning.

  11. Punching up vs punch down has nothing to do with humour. iI’s an entirely fabricated and arbitrary rule for left-wing comedians/polemicists to bend an art form towards their own political beliefs, and one they seldom adhere to anyway.

    See Frankie Boyle joking about Harvey Price, and Westminster boys Walliams and Lucas mocking the underclass.

    • Good Morning

      So much of what Walliams and Lucas did with their Airport series was racist crap, the Nigerian coffee stall which was never open or the camp travel advisor of Asian origin. If they were not the darlings of the left their would have been effigies of them burnt in the streets.
      The one golden rule, for me, of comedy is does it make me laugh and I find Ricky Gervais to be bloody funny. Nish Kumar, and most comedy on the BBC not so much. Apart from the left wing bollocks I suspect it is because they are frightened of offending anyone, my view is that if someone isn’t offended it probably isn’t funny.

      A nice and well written nomination Herman.

    • I see the punching up/down rule as a general guide for comedians on who they want to tailor their act or set to, rather than some rule for all comedy.

      You’ll always have a market for the Bernard Manning, Jerry Sadowitz (and latterly Katie Hopkins) sort of shock humour.

      Just don’t pretend that you’re punching up when you mock the disabled Mr Boyle.

  12. I like Ricky, might watch this later.

    The Left aren’t known for a sense of humour.

    If people can’t take it a joke?
    Fuck em.

    If someone is offended by a joke?
    Fuck em.

    Never cater to the mard.

    From the Office, the Ricky Gervais show, Idiot abroad,
    I’ve enjoyed Rickys sense of humour.

    Thumbs up club👍👍

  13. If the humourless old cunts like Jess Phillips, Sugartits Cooper, Dykie Angela Eagle and their ¨male?¨ counterparts¨ Duckie Hilary Benn, Wes Streeting, Richard Burgon and Clive Lewis, got together for an end of the pier ´Starmer Blair Tribute Show¨ we would just have to ensure that several staff members of the Samaritans were in the audience to stop them jumping off the pier. Mind you if the cast jumped their whole lives would flash before them – you can only imagine the frightful events that would come to them – Eagleś biggest dildo, Burgon´ś inability to get a hard-on for Angie Rayner, Streetings mutual masturbation with Mandy, Sugartits infrequent reverse cowgirls with Ed Balls, Hilary´s daddy issues. The Daily Mirror would come out as a black top next day. Pleasant thoughts for a miserable Sunday. Keir´ś Kweers lost at sea.

  15. I couldn’t give a fuck if it’s irony,punching up down or sideways if it upsets guardian readers then have at it Mr.Gervais.

    They are a controlling sour faced set of cunts.

    As the great Bernard Manning once said ..”Fuck Off.”

  16. This nomination had me thinking of what it must be like pitching a new comedy to the BBC, so I thought I would look at they commissioning page..

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/comedy/production

    If your interested.

    Imagine rocking up with the script for the league of gentlemen, you would be in handcuffs in five minutes flat.

    Still I think a remake of fawlty towers could work..basil would still be the bigoted little englander, in a hotel full of illegals who are all doctors, scientists and teachers.

    Who spend all their time shitting in the lifts, complaining about the food and sexually harassing the local women.

    Every episode ends with basil being arrested for thought crime..

    I might give nutflix a buzz.

    • Fuck me that’s hard work reading all the righteous links in that BBC bollocks, why the fuck would anyone with a spine want to agree to that right on shite just to be a supplier to rainbow coloured wankers like the BBC, dictatorial cunts.

  17. Ricky Gervais can be funny but he can also be totally unfunny. He’s no Billy Conolloy, he’s a little too distant from his audience.

    Compared to Nish Cumjar and other BBC comics in name only he’s a comedy god.

    In the states right now Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are both on the cancel list because they won’t go woke.

    What Gervais does have is the balls to do comedy his way. The BBC simp comedian will just try and get laughs by saying ‘Brexit, Conservatives, Gammon, White People’. These terms are hilarious apparently.

  18. When you think about it, mainstream comedy has been left leaning for years.
    Back in the early eighties, the likes of Rik Mayal and Ben Elton were banging on about Thatcher on a weekly basis and did alright from it.
    If anyone wanted to to go on Friday Night Live and do a routine mocking Kinnock, they’d have been told to fuck off.
    Ever since then we’ve seen every aspect of comedy destroyed by a guardian reading minority, at least the tv variety.
    Sit coms, stand up, panel shows. All taken over by a self appointed censor.
    Wether or not you like Ricky Gervais, you have to admire the fact he’s successful enough and thick skinned enough to say ‘Fuck you’

  19. Armageddon isn’t quite as funny as many of the anti-woke would like and tries very hard to be edgy, but isn’t very funny relative to some of his other work.

    I notice there’s a groupthink at work sometimes, led by certain youtubers, where anything not-woke or expressedly anti-woke is lauded, regardless of writing quality. This happens with films as well. Top Gun: Maverick is an example, as is the John Wick films or The Sound of Freedom.
    A cultishness builds around them and anyone who is apolitical and finds them wanting for artistic reasons is cast out via a purity spiral.

    I’ve noticed a few youtubers now mentioning the purity spiral of various online political spheres, where people are ejected for being quiet on the vaccines, or the red pill/manosphere, or any immigration. They seem aware, from the way their supporters comments lead, that they are in danger of creating a cult of the blindly anti-woke.

    I found this when Triggernometry lads dared to criticise Pearl Davis. They got the fans upset, with a real ‘one of us, one of us’ mindset in the comments
    I think they’d get a similar response if they interviewed the ludicrous Andrew Tate.

    I’ve seen a couple of entertainment/pop culture based channels drop out of this market because, just as the supply for racism isnt meeting the woke demand, so the talking points regarding woke entertainment are now spread so thin over so many channels, very few worthwhile observation sare being made, yet the demand for anti-woke ‘reckonings’ is as high as ever. The same stories are recycled; Disney is failing etc, just as surely as the Evangelicals and Baptists call for the end of the world and return of Jesus.

    • Good analysis. I consider myself fairly centrist regarding a lot of the woke v anti-woke, conservative v liberal stuff so I tend to notice when people I enjoy or agree with start becoming like the people they criticize.

      I’ve also noticed a tendency for a lot of anti-woke pop culture Youtubers to blow smoke up the arse of Ricky Gervais purely because he’s anti-woke, rather than because he’s genuinely funny.

      A lot of the laughter from the audience during this special seemed forced and it almost seems as though Ricky is pandering to the views of a particular group of people for the sake of applause and approval rather than laughter – or “clapter” as it’s known when leftie comedians do “jokes” about Brexit, gamnons, white people, Trump etc to a captive audience of ideologically-similar people.

      I think Ricky needs to get back to actually making people laugh (his one actual job) rather than trying to increase his own profile by engaging in outrage publicity. He seems kind of self-aggrandizing in that way. That wouldn’t be too bad though if he were making good material while doing it.

      • ‘Ricky is pandering to the views of a particular group of people for the sake of applause and approval rather than laughter ‘

        Yes I thought that when I watched it and wrote a lukewarm review for Armageddon because of it.

        2-3 stars out of 5, dependent on your mood with the tired schtick about the disabled (or his own embarrassment around the disabled) he seems to find endlessly amusing.

      • For the record I have a number of friends who like Ricky Gervais and think the sun shines out of his arse, and many are always making jokes about the disabled but have a problem with anything about black people or women.

      • Yep.

        With ‘Armageddon’ Gervais is treading old ground, merely going through the motions.

        He’s had a long run, but hopefully with his next project he will get back to doing what he does best.

      • Eco-loons don’t come more fanatical than Boris’s father, Stanley Johnson.

        And lest we forget, Net Zero (along with a skip load of other Green bollocks policies) was a Tory 2019 manifesto commitment.

  20. I watch GB news as I’m sure a few on here do,
    They have a segment called “Headliners” that covers the front page of the newspapers stories with modern stand up comedians.

    And apart from Scottish comedian Leo kearse and oddball yank Louis shaffer they’re piss poor.

    Especially Cressida whetton, sajeela kershi, Steve n Allen.

    You’d never guess they pay the mortgage by doing stand up.
    Awful.

    But then most comedians are terrified of getting cancelled.
    And most are middle class, university educated.

    The days of working class, northern club comics is gone and mores the pity.

  22. For balance there’s some humourless cunts on the Right too.

    When Boris Johnson had chink flu Frankie Boyle made a joke about going out to buy fireworks.

    Clutching of pearls on the Right.

    I wasn’t offended.

    I didn’t care if he died.

    Fuck em

      • Morning Herman 👍

        Ages ago I was in the van arguing with the helper about ULEZ.
        I was slagging off Saddick khan.
        The helper said

        ” It was Boris s idea”
        I didn’t believe him.

        But he was right!
        It was.
        Boris was a total snake, much more at home with the green issue, EU loving left.

        Same as Treason May.

      • Eco-loons don’t come more fanatical than Boris’s father, Stanley Johnson.

        And lest we forget, Net Zero (along with a skip load of other Green bollocks policies) was a Tory 2019 manifesto commitment.

    • His death could not come soon enough for me.

      It will take decades (if ever) for the Tories to rid themselves of the stench of Boris Johnson.

      Good morning.

  24. Good nom.

    It was heartening to be on a Copenhagen Metro last autumn and meet two Danish women who were off to see Mr Gervais’ new show.They said they loved him and were quite happy to spend mental amounts of money to see their hero live. He filled a sixteen thousand seater Danish arena within minutes of tickets going on sale. He is firmly ‘on message’ with the people that really matter. It turned out Mrs Twenty and I were just about the only people on the train not to be going!

    Good morning, everyone.

  26. Is this the Ricky Gervais fucking fan club or what?
    Why would you rally around Gervais just because he makes an anti-woke comment, or cracks some shit joke? Bloke is still a posh southern wanker, give me Bernard Manning or Chubby-Brown any day.

  28. Humourless offended by anything cunt trombones.

    Grevais is too big to be cancelled, so he can give these leftie nobodies a big up yours.

    Just like what John Lydon did. He simply said to them, ‘You can’t cancel a Sex Pistol. Fuck off!’

  29. Gervais only goes so far with these wokies and celebrities though. He knows that he can’t upset the Gary Linekers and Gwyneth Paltrows of this world too much.

    If he were still here, I would unleash a totally pissed Dean Martin or the great Don Rickles onto them.

  30. If Mr. Gervais got in a fistfight with his little pal Warwick Davis and teased him about his height throughout, .. would THAT be a case of punching down? 🤔
