Appalling people, revelling in the lazy bullying. Also i despise the faux humility of using the praying hands emoji. Or fucking any emoji tbh

Weary shite. Netflix, just a heads up: someone's drunk dad got on stage and you accidentally paid him 20 million.

Edit: sorry, wrong thread. But I do wonder if Linehan will blog massive gushing praise for Gervais within the hour. File it under another celebrity who will never acknowledge him maybe.

Reminds me of Schrodinger's asshole (Don't worry its not a picture of physicist Erwin Schrödinger's asshole)

I don't think all emojis are created equal, praying hands is up there with "rolling crying laughing" in that they're only used by the most obnxious people you'll ever meet.

So they are just jokes with no political meaning but he accepts praise from a known transphobe who likes the material unironically?

Think this has roots in Japanese usage, as that's where emoji came from in the first place — the gesture is used there as a general 'request' sign as well as in a religious sense.

I hate emojis and have done for years, but have recently just started to use em, even this one: 😂

It's just quicker at times, and stops a lot of misunderstanding.

yeah i just remembered who constantly uses 🙏: lozza fox.

Ricky is basically just 🤣 personified. Or maybe he's more of 😂 . Less effort. The other one is rolling about

"Oh I hate the old kind of kids playing, you know, where they go outside and drink water from the garden tap. Ugh, those dinosaurs. But I love the new kids, watching TikTok and being disrepectful, love em"

"Oh I hate the old kind of bananas, you know, bendy. Ugh, those dinosaurs. But I love the new EU bananas, they're straight as a die, you gotta laugh"

You think he realises that young people will view him in the way that his generation view Manning and Davidson?

That's all he fucking is.

I received some unrelated bad news today. So reading the predictably awful Gervais news and the response from Glinner wallowing in his own shit is really depressing.

I feel defeated, frankly. I'm sorry to any trans and non binary folks who have been affected. I can't imagine how bad this all is for you.

Exactly what I was thinking.

That's incredible isn't it. Point 1 is 'citation needed' and then read point fucking 4. Got any citations for any of that. Total lack of self-awareness.

Ricky Gervais will peak everybody - Glinner in his next journalism

The fucking notion of encouraging companies to fire employees in recession times should tell all his cult members exactly how he regards them.

It should, but it won't.

idunnosomename

Does he know Ricky? They're both Twitter addicts but in quite different ways. Ricky just blocks people for the mildest criticism while Greybum argued with them for hours

For someone who is supposedly so left-wing he's on the side of corporations a lot more than he is on regular people isn't he

Oh I finally watched Everything Everywhere All At Once and BC's bananas reaction to it makes no sense whatsoever. So I reckon in reality he was made very uncomfortable by all the stuff about divorce and then just blamed it on the sunshine moonlight good times butt plugs.

Yes but they're all wokesters, so it's fine.

Also, a 54-year old man saying 'wokester', fucking hell.

That's my feeling too. The plotline around divorce is quite extensive and raw in parts, so I can imagine that touching a nerve.

Usually I see it in context of "I'm not mad, I'm actually laughing!!"

This seems to be the only time Ricky ever indirectly replied to him

If only the idea of divorce had touched a nerve sometime in the couple of years he was being asked to get off the internet for five minutes.

Me 3.  When your comedy routine is based around bashing minorities, it's kind of hard not to notice the similarities.

Also I'm shocked that a transphobe misrepresented a news story in order to make trans people look bad.  not really, fucking predictable is what it is.

I don't see Gervais going all in on being a transphobic berk as a bad thing.  In fact I see it as a net win for society.  Just need James 'Boozy Panda' Corden next.
