You are a person and you like Hollywood is paying him and making him rich. Do you seriously think that Ricky Gervais the COMEDIAN is telling the truth? Look at what he said about Steve Carell and Tim Allen. Ricky is a arrogant uncaring hypocrite and you are one of the f*ck's who is caring about someone who is lying claiming not to care about you and the people who are making him millions. You are like the Christians who made Kenneth Copeland rich and vote for Donald Trump, having no clue that you are supporting the very opposite of what it is you think you are supporting. You are being scammed by Gervais and Hollywood mate, like a football fan who gives money to a league which cares nothing about the fans and nothing about football.

FYI this saying has been dated back to at least the 1930s For additional context, Wagner is credited as being the pioneer for conductors who face away from the crowd. Before Wagner, most conductors did, in fact, face the crowd, at least at an angle. Wagner died in the 1880s, and the saying seems to imply that it is necessary for conductors to face away from the crowd, suggesting that the quote probably originated sometime after Wagner's influence was solidified and somewhat forgotten. So the saying probably doesn't originate much earlier than the 1930s.

Narcissists lack all these things.

I think the main reason a lot of other celebrities are scared to be like him is because they're famous off the backs of others. Agents, Producers, Directors, all have a bit too much control on celebrity careers, and Ricky built an empire aside from that as much as any famous person really can. He's worth tens of millions, and nobody can stop him

His technique of making his actors just fall about laughing for the first few takes of a scene then when they are laughed out he gets the scene he needs is genius.

There's a character he put in just so he could rant about things (people talking about dreams, religion, whether ghosts exist) and he always writers her as an idiot to make him seem like the one that always has the "correct" opinion. Yeah, dreams can never be funny to talk about - makes ricky gervais seem like a dull grumpy ass if he's never had a funny dream or heard a funny dream. As for religion, I would agree it's all nonsense but he doesn't need to bring it up all the damn time in his shows, it's a boring overdone topic - religion is dumb we get it. As for whether ghosts exist, he's being willfully ignorant and acting like he knows all that can exist in the world. Ghosts are not some dead person stuck in a place (they would go nuts and there is no evidence to support that) it is a very real phenomena that people don't understand, people don't know what they are. I'd rather not believe in this phenomena as it is very problematic indeed if a house becomes haunted, and there is a large variety in the type of "ghosts" one can have with different levels of severity.

have to give it to Ricky Gervais I wasnt a huge fan of him at first but over the years I have become a fan of his as he speaks his mind and often says what people are thinking but never say.

What Ricky did at the golden globe was superb: he simply treated them like normal people, bring them back from thei VIPnstatus to normal human status. We all make mistake, we all say and do not nice things, and they are no different. Why should them be treated like if they are different, better than anyone else? Him mocking them like we all do between us, laughin at our weaknesses and mistakes, was a perfect way to level things up, to remind them and us that we are all part of the same species and we are all the same, no matter how much money and fame you might have. And, most importantly, we all have the same responsabilities towards society and our planet.

Hated by Hollywood AKA Absolutely loved by Public ❤

Excellent work. Thank you very much for this content.

Gained a lot of respect for how he handled the Golden Globes, amazing a British guy better understood the American public not caring for the opinion of celebs on politics or social crap at reward shows. Hollywood is not some high esteem club of the morally righteous people, if someone is "allowed" to be part of that club they are not there for good reasons.

"To lead the orchestra you got to turn your back on the audience" might is an incredibly underrated quote, and an amazing piece of advice.

Was never one for the office (not a big cringe comedy person and even peep show was too much), didn't watch extras or his other stuff but his XFM days and the stuff with Karl always had me appreciate Ricky Gervais. His Magnum opus has to be afterlife, taking the rough around the edges thoughts and meanings of The Invention of Lying and turning it into something people of any stripe can get behind and truly and deeply be moved to tears (I cried like a baby at some points) is exactly what he will stick in my head forever as being able to do. He wove the philosophy he studied at University into a believable normal man story of loss and moving on.

He's just a good, honest, brave man. When I was a kid, there seemed to be lots of them, today, not so much.

Being hated by Hollywood is an incredible feat, he should be proud

Hated by Hollywood but loved by the world😊

Ricky is the greatest comedy genuise ever that executed the entire Hollywood industry with the truth without a care in the world! Absolute legend and global icon without doubt!

After Life is a real story, for men like me now experiencing a midlife crisis. I think Ricky is an amazing human, and I find inspiration in all his work, words, and wisdom. Live love or don’t, but laugh.

Beautiful video - always been a fan of RG, and I love how you compiled this.

Excellent piece - there needs to be much more of this and there needs to be many more Ricky Gervais characters in this world. He gets it and he helps everyone else see that they get it too.

Ah, just imagine two Ricky Gervais characters actually meeting each other

You have to admire tenacity. Ricky is a role model for never giving up on your dreams and staying true to yourself. In a time where everybody is playing to the algorithm, or ticking off boxes, Gervais typifies what a true artist should strive for.

I thought the takeaway was to be flexible. He tried music, that didn't work so then he tried management. Also didn't work. Tried acting, almost failed immediately like his music career but adapted and also did the directing. Then, finally comedy and the two clicked. He wouldn't be where he is today if he wasn't flexible and willing to try new angles.

You may be thinking of "slander" that can be seen as hate speech, which translates to "anything that offends a snowflake", on social media which can get you into big legal trouble, yes. Similar to how in Canada if you misgender someone you can be fined or even jailed. @@Etcher

Very inspiring human being. People take everything way too seriously and get offended way too easily almost like they looking for something to be offended about. Fyi well done to him and his success what a story and very inspiring to others

Yes, Ricky has made a spectacular career for himself whining about how much he's offended by this and that. The hypocrisy of this bunch is concerning, but really quite adorable as well🤭

Nowadays, most people on LinkedIn would spin Ricky's early failures as total Successes. 1. Record deal at 17 2. Managed top pop band in 20s 3. Developed personal brand

damn, that was a great video. you seem to have a knack for the goode ol' narrative arc and it was delightful.

Gervais is one of the funniest comedians in the world. His stand up has my literally in tears! I think it's brilliant he came from humble beginnings, just kept doing what he did & eventually in his 40's things lined up for him. Welll deserved!

Ricky Gervais needs to be protected at all costs.

I like Ricky especially the show Derek & After Life showing a man grieving over the loss of his wife through cancer. My dad lost his wife a year ago & I thought no this won't be good to watch...it was a balance of truth & comedy showing how hard it would be getting through loosing someone. As for Derek I loved the wrongness of some jokes but still showing how special Derek's outlook on life was. I haven't followed his whole career but really like what I've seen.

That man is a treasure. And the fact that the cultural elite hates him is the best evidence for that.

I still occasionally watch his Golden Globes highlights as at that time it’s exactly what needed to be said.

Hollywood may hate him, but the rest of the world loves him. He is a true funny man that never backs down. ❤

The world wouldnt lose much by losing Hollywood and Disney, may even do us all good to lose them. But Ricky is a jewel and we all need people like him.

⁠@@smcauley600Disney is just another production company that has their formula to make profits from whatever is trendy and make mediocre work for the masses, they are just as disingenuous as any other company like McDonald’s and Nike, etc. Bottom line if what they do doesn’t profit they wouldn’t make it, you can find their unethical practices throughout their history.

His sitcoms, namely The Office, Extras and Afterlife, will sit with me forever, the writing was something I could relate to and genuinely genius all at once. He stands with the Hollywood elite and says what we all think, that is rare and will likely never be seen again imo, he has never changed.

The golden globes .... He just stood up there and humbled the whole of Hollywood. Never thought anyone would ever have the balls to do that but im glad it was him❤ thanks ricky for saying what we are all thinking. I take my hat off to him👊🥃.

No? I don't respect anyone who uses their platform to punch down on minorities when they've got actual real targets. Everyone cheers his Golden Globe speech but when was the last time he went after them? All he does now is pick on minorities. That doesn't deserve respect.

Ricky is one of the biggest most arrogant lying hypocrites in Hollywood that is why they are paying him the big bucks

Best comedian in a long long time. Tells it like it is. Love this guy. A REAL TALENT.

Ricky Gervais the most honest actor on the planet.

I’m not a brit, but I loved most of Ricky’s performances whether it was comedy, acting or even in interviews. Never would’ve thought he was hated!

"Most hated man in Hollywood" is a good thing and a compliment

this is an excellent review - a top quality piece of art summed up Ricky's work so well - thumbs up and subscribed too - PEACE

I love Ricky Gervais and I thought his speech was amazing and I’m glad he told them. Someone needed to

Great character. One of the most enjoyable and uplifting people in that industry.

Ricky always been himself never tried to be something else. He exposed the celebrity world as the pompous fake creatures they are. Plus he is a genius comedian😄😄😄

Ricky represents me and you. That's all.

He’s my hero for speaking truth to power.❤

Ricky’s performance as David Brent is one of the best comedy acting performances out there, and it’s especially impressive that he had no previous experience or training in acting.

The best way I could describe Ricky is that he's the closest thing modern comedy has to a Court Jester. Part of their role involved bringing news to the king that no one else could/would because they'd likely lose their head if the tried.

A great documentary, I appreciate it!

Ricky is a legend, I first watched his show when I was about 19 (foreigner story coming up), at first he didn't impress me but there was something about him that made me curious so I grabbed my Polish-English dictionary and started researching... Yup, we didn't have Google back then you had to speak to other people in order to find out anything. And I loved it, bless this man and his comedy because he can lift you up in a matter of seconds with one sentence.

Ricky Gervais is adored and admired by all comedians. That’s all he cares about. He doesn’t care about what you think or the press or movie stars. He’s happy content and doing what he loves. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I remember you from your great parkour videos, great development to the content👍

"To lead the orchestra, you've got to turn your back on the audience." That's perfect
