How Amazing Is Ricky Gervias!!!!!

I had no idea but saw a little kid watching Spy Kids 4 and realised Gervais is the voice of their dog... completely unexpected and absolutely hilarious.
 
There's a new one hour radio show that Ricky, Steven and Karl presented for NME and some nice fella uploaded it to YouTube, just search for "Ricky Gervais Radio Show - NME "
 
It's amazing how many people don't find Gervais funny. He's a complete genius. I guess you either 'get' subtle comedy or you don't.
 
Think the new series of Derek is poorly written resorting to more and more vulger comedy to get a laugh from the audience. The character of Kevin is the worst I've ever seen on tv and so they go and double him up with a brother. Much prefered the pilot episodes where Derek appeared a lot more naive and simple than now.

Think he writes better with Stephen merchant
 
As I'm one of many individuals that have routinely listened to every single radio show and podcast more than 10 times over, it's hard for me to understand how people don't find him funny in the slightest. I'd love to read an actual explanation behind it rather than a blanket statement.

I mean take the example of him hosting the Golden Globes, standing in front of all these A-list celebrities and telling them how it's amazing to see some of the great work performed... by cosmetic surgeons. Or telling them how thankful he is to be in a room full of the most important people on the planet, actors, who needs doctors or firemen. No, not funny in the slightest? Granted it's not like every word that leaves his mouth is an uncut diamond.

I've spoke to a few girls that found him to be mean and heartless and I can definitely see how they get that impression but you can't take his comedy at face value.
 
The thing is we are all different.
Yesterday I was having a debate with somebody who couldn't believe I didn't like that Geordie comedian who swears a lot and wears pilot goggles (I can't think of his name).
 
Who dug this thread out the dirt ?

Have said for ages I don't find him funny so I'll say it again, I don't find him funny.
