I appreciate some don't like his stand up - I don't know why myself, but humour is subjective. But it's interesting some of those people still love other things like The Office, Extras, Derek, After Life...
I've loved them all, but in different ways. I didn't really enjoy The Office initially, but when you look back it's a brilliant bit of writing. It's subtle, a lot of it, which is why I don't think I initially got the humour. It's weird to say that because now I don't think it's that subtle.
Extras is funny because it's such big stars being self deprecating, which was refreshing at the time. The Les Dennis stuff is incredible. You don't know whether to laugh or cry because it's so near the bone.
I literally did laugh and cry at Derek. After Life I'm not so enamoured with, but I imagine I'll love it in time given what's happened before.
The Golden Globes stuff puncturing the egos of the rich and famous is brilliant too.
Just been watching this with Lawrence Krauss. I'm still agnostic but the logic of both is impeccable.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I genuinely think Ricky Gervais is one of the geniuses of our time on 11:39 - Nov 12 with 481 views
That's absolutely fine, everyone is allowed to think what they like about subjective stuff like comedy.
Fwiw I personally I couldn't stand either 'The Office' or him, & have immediately leapt for the remote to change channels whenever he's come on since then. He's like chalk squeaking on a blackboard for me. Each to their own etc.
If you'd said Billy Connolly, on the other hand, I'd have been in complete agreement.
