It's bizarre that, after everything, some people haven't learned that stories like this end with them being outcasts and have decided to revisit some of the old bigotry.

@Abstract Parasite A comedian is still responsible for the audience they cultivate, though. James could have also made an entire special making fun of transpeople, but he instead chose to actively condemn the practice, choosing instead to cater to a less transphobic group. Gervais decided to do the opposite and cultivate an audience of almost pure transphobes. It's not mind bending social commentary, sure, but it reveals something about the comedians own views and opinions.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to invalidate the original posters opinion, you're talking almost like the sheer possibility of someone liking James more than Chapelle is so alien to you the only reason someone can believe this is because they are being manipulated. As if the commenter decided, he only likes James because of a 5 minute clip on youtube and has no knowledge of his body of work. As per the bit, it came out in 2019, I don't think James can see the future. The bit has been available online, for months, the reason it was re-posted recently on his youtube channel is to advertise the stand up available on vimeo. I have comments on the original video asking where I could buy it as I couldn't find it, and was directed to his website. The bit is about how it's okay to make fun of transgenders, but not comedians. The moment you hold a comedian accountable, it's like this forbidden thing. About how the whole idea of some people viewing comedians as being some sort of truth sayer is ridiculous. Do you understand who he's taking about? Last thing I find it fascinating how you can be so cynical about people you don't agree with i.e. He must be lying about what he's saying to trick me cause it's impossible someone can have a different view. Yet at the same time be so naive about people you agree with. There's no way Dave could be saying this to get attention, I like him and he's my friend.

It means Christians.

Fun fact! Despite both his transphobic performance at the Golden Globes in 2016, and his slew of transphobic tweets in 2019, his Wikipedia page has no "Controversy" section, nor even a mention of either the Golden Globes response in his career section, nor a mention of his transphobia under his "Social Media" section, nor either in his "Political Views" section :), it literally just mentions that he's a "fervent supporter of gay rights" - despite the fact that this is absolutely the sort of thing that would show up on someone's Wikipedia page (notably, Dave Chappelle has his controversies mentioned under his career section), even under a "Controversies" section, of which that's at least two and I'm pretty sure he'd have more since he prides himself on them James Acaster wasn't kidding when he said people aren't comfortable laughing at Ricky Gervais yet

Or else he's got a very good PR team checking & scrubbing Wiki on the regular.

Perfect. I’m one of the oldies, but when you hear a joke more than once and you know the punchline, it does lose its tone. Great ‘old’ content, new upload. Very astute 💋

I speciefically found out my patronus thanks to Acaster. It's a phoenix! =)

This special was absolutely brilliant, from start to end. And I was totally won over by the time I'd finished watching the material covered in this clip.

*scrolls through some of the comments* ohohoho just another day of people debating whether I should exist or not, how fun

Great! I am so glad I happened onto Taskmaster, you were on the clip, thought you were amazingly funny. Keep up the awesome work!

3:13 me to my friends during argument

love this

Brilliant!

Oh my fucking god ( yes i swear now 😂 ) but seriously i love this and i can’t wait to watch it full

I've watched this video so many times that I've memorized it and it's still one of the funniest and most ingenious things I've ever seen.

always comes back to this. ❣️

Ditch those crizzos ASAP!! 🤣🤣 The funniest thing Ricky gervais has ever said was, "meet Karl Pilkington."

This is the first show if his that I liked that my dad didn’t

Too challenging for him I guess.

Funny and true. The best kind of comedy.

GOLD! Love it! This joke can now feature two big time names, an older bigot white man, and an older bigot black man. See, equality! 🤣🤣🤣🤣So funny

Pointed timing from james here, well played.

Acaster is literally just the anti-Chappelle. Neither offer nuance (albeit Acaster is probably being more comedic in his presentation than Chappelle was). Acaster calculates: liberals will love if I give superficial support to trans people... and does exactly that.

@@ajnode after seeing all of your various comments on this video it is laughable for you to pretend to care about nuance. Also laughable that you seem to think you can read James mind.

@@Vivi2372 Ironic that you are talking about it being laughable that I could read minds, when you are purporting to do the exact same thing of me, with less evidence than I have of James... since I have followed his entire body of work for years - yet you have a handful of my comments. Fucking hypocrite.

@@ajnode I'm not reading your mind. I'm reading the comments you've actually made. You assume motives of James that you could never possibly know from his statements in this clip. Big difference but happy I've cleared that up for you.

@@ajnode odd you replied to that one but not my comment, perhaps it was a bit too nuanced.

Saw the full special last week and it's excellent; highly recommend you watch it.

Lmfao so good!!

without a shadow of a doubt the best comedian of all time, where others fall short James always delivers

Quite fitting timing if I’m being honest

I think that was the point. ;) I almost wish he would have badly dubbed over "Ricky Gervais" with "Dave Chapelle". Would have been extra funny.

BIG LOVE!!!

I honsetly took a minute to remember what a patronus is. I'm losing my dorkiness :(

You're too funny. 😂
