It feels like that has been on the cards for a while. This has been the catalyst for a lot of people to say, “Hang on, why are we overcomplicating this?”: That’s true. I think it’s made a lot of people who have shows on TV every day realize, “Oh, everyone knows now that anyone can do this.” They’re doing it, too. They’re no better than everyday people talking to their webcams. Most people don’t get a studio audience, but it’s such a level playing field now. That’s what’s very funny.
That “Imagine” video was a bit, ‘Let’s get it out there,” but I’ve got nothing against them. I tease them, but now and again—and it’s not just those people—when a celebrity does something out of the kindness of their heart, with some of them you can really see it in their eyes, how they’re going, “I could cry at how beautiful I am.” [As for my daily videos, I did it for a laugh, really, because I thought I was going to get bored.
I think that too many people second guess what an audience can take. I’ll go, “Of course they can take it; real life’s worse.” This is still just fiction. The characters inare dealing with all these things that people deal with in real life. And, in fact, I’ve never had a reaction like the reaction to the first series of this. I don’t just mean the size of the reaction. That could be a reflection of Netflix having 170 million subscribers. But the emotional response… My agent got 300 letters.
And, really, in that way the show employs a staple of comedy, and particularly sitcom. An ordinary person trying to do something they’re not equipped to do. He tried to make himself a badass verbal vigilante. He tried to make himself a psychopath so he wouldn’t feel anymore. But he’s not a psychopath, so he was burdened. He wanted to kill himself, but the dog was hungry. He had responsibilities. He was nice to the new girl, and the old lady. He loves his nephew.
rickygervais Thank you for keeping it real!
rickygervais I really appreciated someone who is known saying what everyone is thinking. I can’t even begin to start on it lol Thank you for what you do. And speaking up the truth about things
We're supposed to sing 'Imagine' while in lock down? I was singing 'Raining Blood'. I hope that doesn't set us all back. I really should have listened closer to our Hollywood brain trust. Is there anything they don't know?
rickygervais Thank you for saying what we are all thinking! We don’t give a fuck about millionaires & billionaires complaining. Go cry and complain on your huge piles of money! rickygervais
rickygervais really? I watched that Imagine video and felt quite emotional- did I miss something? I felt it was heart based and not ego based- that's my perspective in anycase 😉
rickygervais Im coping with the help of after life season 2. . Incredible actor rickygervais you are more talented then the world really knows Thank you.
Their desperate attempt to remain in the spotlight. when this is over and the paradigm shifts I hope we can realize the value of those who actually contribute something worthwhile to society like Doctors nurses EMT’s housekeepers grocery workers rather than these court jesters
rickygervais agree with everything you said about these fake celebs and the covid19 lockdown, but why oh why did you choose to tell it all to that arsewipe rag the s*n ? 😩
rickygervais Finalmente! surgiu uma voz em pronunciamento pra dizer algo coerente sobre nós, pobres e simples mortais👍
rickygervais I made a friend watch Easy Rider for the first time, and he hated it because how it ended. Mind you, he's used to comic book superhero movies where the 'good' guys win every time, so it really disturbed his 'reality' 😂 I can't wait for him to watch Afterlife. Cheers Ricky✌️
rickygervais Brilliant interview 👍
rickygervais brilliant rickygervais i agree with every word. Glad someone spoke out who can't be accused of just being jealous etc money doesn't make u happy? No, but it helps, try being broke.
rickygervais Honesty Ricky your my hero i love the way you are so straight laced and not shallow some celebs are just self obsessed idiots well done for staying rooted
rickygervais Thank you Ricky! I've had heartache in my life. After Life made me laugh & cry in equal measure. Fuck chin up! Fuck you're strong! Just live it as it is & not everything is the fairy tale ending. Thank you for depicting it as it can be.. A slow journey of heartache & happiness
