Ricky Gervais: Out Of England "Sink" (HBO)

[pokinsmot]

i usually dont find Mr Gervais all that funny. nothin against him, just not for me. but that was funny.

[berealandstaytrue]

There are alot of U.K haters that dont like the fact that america owns the entertainment business. Its sad we should thank america for becoming our second home they speak our language and they have a brilliant country that they welcome with open arms.

any time someone brilliant comes out of the uk the brits just big them up as the best thing ever it pisses me off without realising that america have it all anyway

[xomiakas]

@berealandstaytrue I was in both countries. I don't know about the whole UK or the whole US but judging from where I lived I think that UK is much better. The only thing that annoyed me was the traffic - narrow streets with opposite traffic. And in the US if you're a biker you can drive with any gear, even without helmet, no limits that depend on the age group and the power of the motorcycle. Everything else in the US - overrated garbage. The showbiz is awesome, though...

[MWcrazyhorse]

sounds like Ricky found a good woman. what's up with the sitting down dictatorship nowadays? urine is sterile.

[davidfox1983]

Think it's only called "Out Of England" because he's done all this material here in the UK!

[InspirebyEndeavor]

YouTube has turned into a damn stitch and bitch where Americans and British people CONSTANTLY argue. Ffs, This is why Im proud to be a clanger. Nobody bitches about clangers.

[AWSMDAWG]

Thank you Ricky Gervais for all the joy you bring into my life.

[treehugger99999]

As a Canadian, I just want everyone to get along...

...And agree that Canada is the best and funniest place on Earth.

[MrZ0mbiE3000]

Oh my god who cares about nationality all the people around the worlds are Human, so it does it really matter?

[DariusDaGreat86]

@MrZ0mbiE3000 - Except the ones in Africa :/

[MrZ0mbiE3000]

@DariusDaGreat86 Go fuck yourself bro.

[Retify92]

damn, you can tell he has lost weight watching his older stuff compared to his more recent material

[nicool722]

people fight because they don't know how to love anymore

[MuziekFan1995]

Omg, this was freakin' funny :).

[GreenyFool]

Wasn't this from the XFM show? Heard this before.

[EnglishDan1]

@GreenyFool Yea he mentionted it on there before , there are some jokes that he does in his stand up that obviously orginated from him and steven merchants roleplaying or conversations which he has realised were fucking funny

[vxMarksmanxv]

I'm Australian. I can enjoy anyone's comedy!

[junkybabes]

why can't they just join these clips together instead of short clips?... i don't expect anyone to answer the question...

[merdufer]

"at least take the dishes out first" what a sweet girlfriend.

[sharkey4123]

Haha, People are cheering even when he's saying bad things about King's cross.

[Mechozan]

@sharkey4123 I bet they were cheering because they recognized the name from the harry potter books.

[JonnyCashmore]

Some American comedy fans don't like ricky because theres not enough "black people are like this, and white are people are like this" bullshit in his routines.

America is fascinated by "race" humour.

[GBVenkman]

@JonnyCashmore Good was of clumping a very diverse populace into one archtype.

[YinYangTzu]

some people dont describe majority. thats a crude generalization. i havent met a person who didnt find him and his style of humor absolutely hilarious

[doritoboy88]

@JonnyCashmore honestly, that's racist right there. Not in a skin color way, but, "Oh, they're American, they must be stupid and enjoy vulgar things!" No Mr. Cashmore

[TaskMaster619]

@doritoboy88

well that's not racist because "American" isn't a race, you don't have a race of Americans because America is made up of so many different races. It's xenophobic, fair enough but not racist and although I'm English you make a fair point

[charlieiscool1000]

its Not racist coz americans arent a race they are a nationality its called being Prejudice or joking around why do americans always jump too racism as soon as somone makes fun of them i think its laughable how they can say that seeing how racist some parts of the US can still be even today

[HillyOTM]

argh, it cut off too early & missed the best bit, where he says that he didnt, he just lifted them up

[brianwildemusic]

Bill Hicks relates to a certain stereotype in America, where Mighty Boosh caters to creative types.

Neither are better than each other and regardless, both parties are laughing.

[fallingstarish]

bill hicks isn't funny

[lagosdogblue]

O.K, i've watched 3 of this HBO clips of him but none seem to be funny to me to be sincere. I prefer him in 'the office' and movies.

[utubenasha]

oh come on lagos. even his little face makes me laugh! lol

[bingstar316]

I love many American stand ups, sitcoms, comedy movies & I also love many British stand ups, sitcoms, comedy movies. Why would anyone let nationality get in the way of making you laugh? Who gives a shit about nationality as long as its funny?

[MrAdamseye]

@bingstar316 American's can't handle the truth!

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

@MrAdamseye Excuse me?

[MrAdamseye]

@ThumbprintTheatrics Thanks for the clarification!

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

@MrAdamseye Wow.

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

@MrAdamseye Whoa, dude, you're an American....

[MrAdamseye]

@ThumbprintTheatrics Yes, but you could call me an exception to the rule. I don't think emotionally, I don't watch the bs TV, and don't agree with most Americans on anything. But I always speak the truth.

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

@MrAdamseye You also have a warped view of your own self-worth.

[MrAdamseye]

@ThumbprintTheatrics Uh yea this is were I go; how did you come to that conclusion with so little insight into my personal life? Then proceed to conclude your just an emotionally fueled judgmental bitch, with nothing better to do with your time.

[ItsMeJe33ica]

@bingstar316 I hope not to get s*** for this but I really don't like American stand up, I am a truly happy person and laugh at anything, but when I watch people like Chris Rock, or Dane Cook or whatever, it's just all swearing and yelling into the microphone. Making it's just me but British comics are the best.

[performancepoo]

@ItsMeJe33ica That's fine, that's not bashing American stand ups purely because they're american.

[JoshHunter1999]

@ItsMeJe33ica Dane Cook is hardly a good comedian by anyone's standards. Check out Louis C.K.

[ItsMeJe33ica]

I watched a clip of Louis, 5 seconds in I was laughing without realising. American comedy has re-entered my life, but still under English

[Soundgarden8497]

@ItsMeJe33ica you are exactly right, chris rock and dane cook aren't even funny at all.

[durham2007]

If u don't like it don't watch it you thick bastards... Simple

[keyransolo]

Init :)

[femacamps09]

its only comedy..its an act..do you get upset everytime you watch a film..with something you see that may not be true ..

[Ulmeyda08]

Oh Americans, why won't you die ~_~

[JanineRobin]

I wish we could have one video on YouTube that doesn't turn into a text-war about where people live.

[mangoman47]

Amen

[skitchdrews]

Amen to that.

[heyvenus123]

Well said! Someone with a mind, rare to find on here.

[supertuber97]

great comment .... so true :)

[zardak111490]

you must be british

[williamhowie]

@JanineRobin You would say that wjhere you're from!!!

[KungfuCow5]

@JanineRobin We should create one. Get a load of YouTubers to just do something completely random and put all the clips together. I like Turtles.

[commerceskate]

@JanineRobin youtube comments are conflict on a very small scale, but amplify it and you get every argument and disagreement going on in the world. its unfortunate.

[crimsonakd]

@JanineRobin You forgot to mention he who should not be named....

[lethe56]

@JanineRobin typical American thing to say.

[Mr91Nissan240sx]

@JanineRobin /watch?v=e_vwPJYwtfA  YOUR WELCOME, 2 more wishes

[ENTERTAlNER]

i love rickys stand ups,

[SuperKLC]

first of all England doesn't exist. It is the most biggest secret in the world.

[JPR511]

is this not from the fame tour??

[JimShadyUK]

This is his US special, and it's made up of material mainly drawn from his first three specials. If you look on his website, he says that people who own / have seen the first three shouldn't bother with this one.

[mannutd]

looooooooooooooooool

[JPR511]

LOL! you MUST be American! you're told about one flat and you think every house is like that in England! haha man, Americans become more and more ignorant by the second it seems!

[PopRoxy84]

JPR511, I find your comment about Americans to be very hypocritical. Your first point was that we generalize the fact all English flats were stereotypically like that. Then you go on to say that Americans, by stereotype, are more and more ignorant by the second. So, which is worse? The stereotype that we Americans are ignorant, or that all English flats are like the one he describes?

[spazabarri]

moral of the story is, buy a house

[MawCowbell]

Stereotypes are based on common truths. So Americans are ignorant and flats in Kings Cross are generally shit :)

[charlyganjaboy]

I agree, especially when they go all "sarcastic". What's that about!?

[Blacknarcissa]

I read your comment and I wondered, why is the person so stupid?

And then I remember, Oh this person is American.

[lunacywishes123]

hahaha! brilliant

[davrosss1]

opinions are like ass holes. Everybody has one, and its a dam shame when people talk out of them.

[MrKippers22]

No one cares what backward yanks think. never did.

[warriorprince1010]

Yet you keep watching this British crap, which makes money for the Brits.

[Nadendegior]

We are different, there's no doubt about that. American comedy, generally, have obvious, quick fire jokes. Where as British comedy is more subtle. In stand up it's usually observations and aneqdotes (sp) rather than an actuall joke. Don't get me wrong I like some, not much, but some American comedy. But generally, successful British comedy is clever, successful American comedy is aimed a larger audience so is usually more simple.

[jondea0]

I agree, totally

[sugarraygras]

You sound like a funny guy!

[aaron4820]

well as much as he was wrong to generalise all americans being stupid, (and don't get me wrong, certainly not all americans are stupid, many are very smart) but in his defense, this is only ONE example of a shitty flat, and chances are, on youtube anyway, it's going to be the only example, yet he thought uk is fucked up because of that one flat.

however, continious stupidity displayed by youtubers with american accounts is so common on this website, it's really not helping the stereotype.

[shivcore]

Have you ever even been to the UK?

[deathfortea]

We all live in castles, fact.

[SwagKing5g]

lol

[hollyhollyrose]

That was so gross!!!

[StevieStickman]

haha i remember this :p

[rufoolish]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[NB5BHVL]

I have seen him act but have never seen him on stage before... I'd like to see him on stage, He's also a great actor

[EoinStidster]

This special has got to be one of the funniest stand up routines ever.

Ricky's a freaking genius

[lukeowain]

lol

[kylewuzhur]

funny stuff(:

[mydadscompany]

He's awesome
