Never seen him do much stand up. I thought it was pretty damn good.

I remember back in the day he was the vocal atheist that people hated. He was ridiculously liberal and many hated him. Now he’s the voice of reason in Hollywood and has been the guy openly mocking it for years. Ricky is great, and he should have hosted the Globes and Oscars this year over Meyers and Kimmel. That would have been amazing.

I have always liked Gervais and everything he has done (Extras, The Office, Derek, etc)
I thought this special was right on par with his other standups. I enjoyed it.

I loved it. Of course certain sites are shitting all over it because they watched the first 10 minutes and decided that’s all they needed and ran with it when really he tied it all together really well at the end. Pretty clever 80 minutes.

You left out his two best: The Ricky Gervais Show and An Idiot Abroad.

I've loved his previous stand up specials and while this one shares a lot of similar themes/jokes as he's done in the past it was still really funny.

Same. I see him more as a stage performer and less as a true stand-up. His act really works in a large venue and it's kind of hard imagining him doing some small room as he works out material, you know?
That being said, it was great as usual. Great format for him.
I'm also REALLY enjoying that it's comedians that are coming out hard and bashing people for their complete inability to take a joke anymore. Bill Burr has been on this and much of Gervais' show was about this. Love them pointing out how people will laugh and laugh until the comedian gets to whatever THEIR soft spot is...then it's OUTRAGE!!!
Yep, really clever hour.

This guy gets it:
What in God’s Name Happened to Ricky Gervais?
quote:
SOMEWHERE OVER THE LAST DECADE, Ricky Gervais lost it. His nosedive is fairly puzzling: in just a few years, the man who inaugurated a new era of TV with The Office went from one of the most original voices in comedy to a complete gasbag. His stand-up comedy is excruciating, his movies are instantly forgettable, and his smug, dorm-room atheism makes any self-respecting unbeliever want to convert to Wahhabi Islam just as a personal frick you.
In short—to paraphrase a bit of dialogue from one of his contemporaries, Armando Iannucci—Gervais has gone from the guy everyone loves to hate to the guy everyone just hates. From Simon Cowell to Piers Morgan.

his demeanor and rants about atheism haven't changed in the 15+ years he's had stand up specials.
It's not HIM that's changed...it's society/the audience

No he doesn’t. The world changed around Ricky. Ricky I think is still largely the same and funny. It’s kind of like how a decade ago Bill Maher was most far on the Left in Late Night, but now he’s the furthest to the Right, which is fricking insanity since I don’t think he’s changed much.
The world has lost its mind. Ricky seems to be the only British comic outraged by the guy with the Nazi Pug being found guilty, and every other comic is silent over it. Where’s the mass protests over this?

There was a bit with him and Jerry in Coffee with the comedians
Ricky : "I don't like guns. Should be banned. it kills people"
Jerry: "What do you think about Abortion though?"
Ricky: "I'm ok with it"
Jerry: "I guess you are a celebrity. You get to decide who can die,how. that works"

Merchant had all the talent.

Pilkington had all the talent.

I liked it. I always thought he was really funny and has a really brilliant mind for writing jokes/material. Him getting Karl Pilkington going off on certain stuff, IMO, is a lot of why Karl is so funny.
