Ricky can be a loud jerkoff, as that's kinda the basis for a lot of his personality, but he KNOWS that, and he plays it into his comedy. It's how I can so often laugh at someone who is so often diametrically opposed to things that I agree with, politically, spiritually, etc. And all things considered, even though he and I do disagree so much, he seems a man who respects our fundamental right TO disagree, and that's really all I need.
You nailed it. The guy is smart and I whether or not I agree with him, I do think that he came by his opinions honestly. I can at least respect that, unlike that guy who's political opinions are all based off of what Bernie and Snopes told him.
If he's not there already, Ricky is on his way to being Based AF. (I think he's there and has been for years but needs money more than he needs ..what? Our applause at 'coming out'?)
He's worth over a hundred million dollars.
He was paid 40 million from Netflix for his last comedy special, Humanity, in 2018, paid another 40 for his new special, Supernature, which he is currently touring worldwide. Netflix will air it once he's done touring.
....and.... he just wrapped up taping the second season of his new series Afterlife.
He doesn't need money. He genuinely respects people's right to hold different opinions and respects free speech.
This isn't his first time being attacked by the alphabet community. In fact, the first time was over a joke that mentioned Bruce/Caitlin Jenner at the Golden Globe Awards.
He rails against the faux outrage regularly.
Sounds like a lot of money...to you and me. But billionaires are the new millionaires and the human mind has a way of adapting to circumstances and becoming 'tolerant' and wanting more.
My argument is that he's much more skeptical of the Left and ID politics than he (even now) lets on but doesn't want to completely cut himself off from all future multi-million dollar (or even creative) opportunities.
But really, only (maybe) Ricky Gervais knows. And, (maybe) not even him.
I like how he didn't kiss Jerry Seinfeld's ass in that one documentary with Chris Rock and the public masterbator. Comedy is all about upended expectations and we're sorta used to people being ass kissers and shallow people, I think, at this point.
Real comedians recognize that the death of comedy at the hands of the 'woke' left is a real threat. This is the exact response real comedians should all have. Props for that.
As much as I'd love that, I don't mind him disagreeing. I think intelligent discourse is more important than agreement. Every time Trump has tried to make a "deal" with the dems, I honestly think that's what he was asking for. Let's meet. Let's discuss this intelligently. Let's compromise.
Of course, I also think that anyone who discusses the 2nd amendment intelligently will come to the conclusion that it's not about right or wrong, it's about the fact that there can never be any legal precedent short of a constitutional amendment that should be able to infringe on our right to bear arms. Now, when we are seriously at risk of people trying to amend the constitution to take our guns, that's when we can argue about what we should do. Until then, we have a lot of illegal laws on the books right now.
Haven't heard his jokes, so I can't say what I think of them. Much like with Dave Chappelle, I don't know much about the guy, but I'm glad to see that there are people in the entertainment industry who aren't afraid of the "woke" mob.

Both of you are 100% correct ?
Honey badger comedians just don't give a shit! A rare breed these days.

What do they want?
Blasphemy laws.
When do they want them?
Now.

Still a massive cuck
We just need to get him on the 2A bus and he's pretty much redpilled.

He's still a tool, but good on him this time.
