We watched Ricky Gervais' new stand-up special so you don't have to. Read our review:
Never once does Gervais consider actual trans people. To him, they are hypothetical—can he joke about them? People say that’s not okay?He is a rich man with a microphone, he should be able to do what he likes! You know what’ll really make them feel equal? Being made fun of by a washed-up comedian, who already derided trans people in hisCancel culture comes up, naturally. “Can’t mention him anymore, he’s cancelled,” Gervais says of Louis C.K. “Not enough to apologize and move on.
Gervais’ delivery also leaves much to be desired. He laughs incessantly, like he’s trying to remind people that this is meant to be funny. He struggles to get through a bit about him becoming a transgender woman because he’s laughing so much. It’s like Jimmy Fallon, but far shittier., a detestable combination of smug and obtuse. Only two of his bits are any good—one about a platypus, and a touching one about how Gervais and his male relatives and friends express affection.
