Ricky Gervais is a watered down version of Jerry Sadowitz... see this link for a lesson in CLASSY and Professional abuse... if your gonna be abusive get the fuckin' job done properly.

maybe he is wrong maybe he isn't at the end of the day there are still people dying of starvation in africa i know which on id rather take more intrest in do you?
for fuck sake why do people take these words to such extreme levels mong ain't used like that anymore why can't people understand that Ricky just means it as a word just like the word idiot the most annoying thing is he says cunt all the time which is an actuall swear word and no one bats an eye lid but they go loopy over this I love gervais
its taking an australian to highlight britain's problem (!). this woman is represntative of the cancer that is ravaging this country. its not her fault but she's a classic case.
i'm in the infantry and i'd love for people to spend a day working with our lads because they'd hear all sorts of 'offensive' language hurled at each other. cunt, twat, mong, rat, gayboy, lizard, shit lips etc... yet the lads love each other like brothers. this mock offence creeping into society is embarrasing.
It's not "just a word". People are sickening and cold sometimes, and many blowhards will rant on and on trying to excuse or dismiss bad taste. It's very low brow.
Brendan hits the nail n the head here. The raging political correctness nowadays pushes further and further into the degradation of free speech and like he said its okay to show someone who's been tortured but not someone who may cause 'offence', just because you're offended doesn't mean you can silence peo
whatever you think of Gervais and his use of the word mong. Wither it was right or wrong. Brendan Burns comes across as a self righteous sumg twat in this video. Regardless if you agree with what he is saying.
i think its up 2 ppl with learning disabilities and their families to decide if their offended by the word...if u choose to use it anyway its up 2 u but its not ur choice as to whether orn not its offensive...because its not aimed at u
brendon burns is a fucking mong....I know he's not mentally disabled, but I am using it offensively. The word is definately an insult, but isn't an official label to those diagnosed with mental deficiencies.....it's so fucking simple even a mong could work it out
I fail to see what the problem is? If a word or several words actually does REAL harm to people, then we shouldn't use them, at least not in a way that is offensive. If there is no actual harm, then it is okay to use it..... to me it's really that simple! Whatever happened to common sense?!
people are so sad , if people like this controlled the world it would be a dictatorship, feel free to say what you want , its called freedom of speech , what exactly happens when someones offended , nothing its just petty , shall we get rid of everything thats fun in life because no matter what anyone would do it would offend someone
The lady here is not saying there should be a law outlawing the word or that Gervais should be prosecuted. She's saying it's offensive and she has every right to say that. End of.
@DemonicFlyingUnicorn 'Mong' is a contraction of mongoloid. And Downs syndrome used to be referred to as Mongoloid. It has everything to do with Downs.
@keanosarmy1 Part 1)Humour helps some people approach areas they don't fully trust. It also helps cunts that genuinely want to laugh at those less fortunate than themselves to feel good about themselves. Now its clear you have taken a position on this and will be tempted to either pretend I am wrong, which would be difficult or say its OK that some people get insulted for the sake of humour.
@dorianleakey "2) But comediens do need to put effort into their work and make sure it stands up, Ricky thinks this word has changed meaning and can be used in a different context, but it hasn't, clearly.
Getting the bit between being funny and being a bully is difficult. Now because people like Ricky they will tend to defend his stuff even when he gets it wrong, here he did.
RICKY: "Karl might not have a formal education but he is good at other things. Like cleaning windows with his f**king tongue, GUMP"!
KARL: "Bit harsh....alright"
I remember hearing it and being shocked. I didnt laugh. I more disappointed than amused. Like they said in this vid, Gervais usually approaches these isssues intelligently. It seemed as if he was just going for a cheap shock laugh.
@tobybrown1988 You're taking it out of context. Ricky's comments there weren't designed to target disabled people, it was just gentle ribbing of Karl. And it was hilarious. I have a mate who is known for being a bit thick, and his nickname is 'downie'. This was not formulated to strike a blow against down's syndrome sufferers. The way to respond to intolerance is not to pile on unnecessary stigma to vague terms. It will only make things worse.
@tobybrown1988 If we follow that train of logic, then phrases like 'can't tell your arse from your elbow' could then be seen as shockingly offensive attacks against people who have suffered freak accidents where their anuses have become fused with their elbows.
HOWEVER - in previous works, he has said "window licker" and "gump" when refering to Karl Pilkington, both of which are offensive terms for the disabled. So im not sure really....its a shame, because i am a fan. But to me, the words "mong", "window licker" and "gump" are all offensive.
If your saying its okay for him to say them and offend disabled people (because of free speech). Your also saying that its okay for him to say words like "nigger", "paki" and "spaz".
@tobybrown1988 I am prepared to let window licker go, because its just so bizarre, and probably less of a real insult for real people, because disabled people of any persuasion do not lick windows, I have not heard it used for real disabled peoiple. Never heard gump.
Mong on the other hand was used in very specific circumstances, and its used less but it still is used, which is what makes it still a mistake to use.
Most comic's avoid certain words because they ONLY have offensive connotations. Im sure Gervais wouldnt dare say "nigga" or "paki" or "spaz" because there is no way he could really defend it. Personally, ive only ever heard "mong" used in a nasty way (usually refering to disabled people), which, like the other offensive words ive mentioned, is not acceptable.
Im a huge fan of Gervais, and I think if he genuinly didnt realize the accociation between "mong" and disabeled people, its excusable...
I genuinely have never heard the word "mong" used to refer to disabled people. Just to people doing something stupid. e.g. "John, you spilled milk on the floor, you mong!"
When I use mong I just use it to refer to someone doing something stupid, I'm not saying 'down syndrome people' to my friends, that wouldn't even apply in the situation my friends aren't scared of cars.
Surely sanctifying certain minorities and going PC about them is worse than allowing words like mong because. So it's wrong to call someone a mong and insult down syndrome kids but by allowing words like slut, whore, ginger, you fat fucking c-unt it suggests those minorities as less valid.
No he didn't tear her apart, he is a moron, bringing an Australian into an argument about ignorance is unwise. The `N' word is just a word, and has had its meaning changed by its use by black people - BUT IT STILL RETAINS ITS FORMER MEANING - just like the word mong.
Why have they got someone like Brendan Burns on this show. He is a comedian that is unfunny, ignorant and irrelevant. He doesn't understand what is going on and would rather create new arguements for the sake of publicity and screen-time rather than talk about what he has been invited to talk about. What a tit.
To admit to being offended by words or language means admitting to defeat. People who get offended LOVE that moment, it empowers them. Their inadequency in conversation or argument is suddenly unwittingly mitigated by their central nervous systom becoming enlivened in a way that they then deem to be negative. How sad. Enjoy life - even when it's shit, even when it's disappointing and even when it's offensive. There's alway tomorrow, my fellow cunts...
for god sake, nothing should be off limits, mong can mean disabled person but it can also mean div asin an idiot thats what i used it for in my school days, these people are arsehols who just want to censor us all.
just because they think mong mean disabled doesnt mean it downt have other meanings
What a stupid introduction - 'we're not going to repeat it because it does cause offence' - seriously, some people need to get a life. How are people supposed to have an opinion if they don't even know what a word is? Journalists have become some pussies in this country.
This world has gone mad! I'm a lesbian and when I see comics making fun of lesbians I'm not bothered at all! It's COMEDY, nothing should be off limits. I have yet to meet a person with Downs that would even know what "Mong" meant.
'Moron', 'kreten', 'imbecil', even 'idiot' comes from medicinal descriptions of disabilities. Why not ban all of it?
Anyways, I was going to (honest) think about this deeply, but now I saw the hostess in her short little dress, and am off to do something else instead. Little head wins again.
Why would Ricky choose this week to be controversial? Life's too short. Starring Warwick Davis. Who I call a Long. Anybody who thinks it's about anything but publicity is a Jong.
@stooom Ricky Gervais doesn't seek publicity for the sake of it. He understands the difference between fame and infamy. And i think his principles on the subject are justified. This whole debate sprung from the fact that he set up a twitter account. which he DID set up to promote his work. obviously. but i don't think he anticipated how stupid some of his fans are... and that many of them were going to miss-interprate his comments as offensive. He hasn't changed... his blog is proof of that.
It's annoying that they couldn't find someone better for Ricky's defence! This 'comedian' is too defensive and isn't very clear in his opinions on the debate. He needs to stop attacking the woman next to him and start addressing the debate.
its got nothing to do with the word being linked to disability because obviously it IS linked to down syndrome. What matters is the context in which it's used. That's what determines whether it's offensive of not. and Ricky Gervais has never used that word to mean 'down syndrome' or 'disability', therefore it isn't offensive (in the way he uses it). This 'debate' is SO TIRESOME.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ActionMirror Perhaps so, but ricky gervais is still a talentless cunt, who creatively shot his load with the office and has since spent his time pissing on its legacy. Anyone that likes his stand-up comedy is a worthless reactionary piece of shit. And extremely dumb. Where are your dunces caps, fuckwits?
I hope he gets cancer of the eyes.
I warmly await your abuse. You Gervais loving thickos.
@marxist29 ... well you're clearly a very intelligent person, with a great taste in comedy. I hope you enjoyed the most recent series of The Catherine Tate Show and The Big Bang Theory. Is Michael Mcintyre's new stand up DVD out? I hope your pre-order doesn't get lost in the post... fingers crossed!
@HowardWolowitzFan I agree. We are encouraged to treat people equally. But we're not encouraged to make fun of people for things 'they can't help'. That's why it would be offensive IF Ricky was using the word 'mong' as a way of ridiculing people with disabilities. My point was, that no matter what people think of the word - its all down to the intent of the word. Ricky's use of the word didn't evoke any connotations negativity, let alone disability.
@ActionMirror I love Ricky, but I can't help but think that when he was talking about Susan Boyle ("Is she a mong?") that the context it is being used in is to mean down's syndrome. Obviously it isn't offensive, though.
@FeedbackVoice Towards the end of that routine, he does attempt to justify himself by explaining that he doesn't mean to say Susan Boyle has down syndrome (or that he thinks that), however i'm not a big fan of that 'bit', as i do feel Susan Boyle is an easy target and i don't think it's particularly original or innovative to make fun of her for the way she looks.

'Moron', 'kreten', 'imbecil', even 'idiot' comes from medicinal descriptions of disabilities. Why not ban all of it?
Anyways, I was going to (honest) think about this deeply, but now I saw the hostess in her short little dress, and am off to do something else instead. Little head wins again.

Why would Ricky choose this week to be controversial? Life's too short. Starring Warwick Davis. Who I call a Long. Anybody who thinks it's about anything but publicity is a Jong.

@stooom Ricky Gervais doesn't seek publicity for the sake of it. He understands the difference between fame and infamy. And i think his principles on the subject are justified. This whole debate sprung from the fact that he set up a twitter account. which he DID set up to promote his work. obviously. but i don't think he anticipated how stupid some of his fans are... and that many of them were going to miss-interprate his comments as offensive. He hasn't changed... his blog is proof of that.

It's annoying that they couldn't find someone better for Ricky's defence! This 'comedian' is too defensive and isn't very clear in his opinions on the debate. He needs to stop attacking the woman next to him and start addressing the debate.

its got nothing to do with the word being linked to disability because obviously it IS linked to down syndrome. What matters is the context in which it's used. That's what determines whether it's offensive of not. and Ricky Gervais has never used that word to mean 'down syndrome' or 'disability', therefore it isn't offensive (in the way he uses it). This 'debate' is SO TIRESOME.

@ActionMirror Perhaps so, but ricky gervais is still a talentless cunt, who creatively shot his load with the office and has since spent his time pissing on its legacy. Anyone that likes his stand-up comedy is a worthless reactionary piece of shit. And extremely dumb. Where are your dunces caps, fuckwits?
I hope he gets cancer of the eyes.
I warmly await your abuse. You Gervais loving thickos.
Your's hatefully,
Love.

@marxist29 ... well you're clearly a very intelligent person, with a great taste in comedy. I hope you enjoyed the most recent series of The Catherine Tate Show and The Big Bang Theory. Is Michael Mcintyre's new stand up DVD out? I hope your pre-order doesn't get lost in the post... fingers crossed!

Were ENCOURAGED to treat people EQUALLY yet when it comes to comedy disabled people are given an advantage.
What if we placed limits on disabled people? It wouldnt be rite.
HowardWolowitzFan 4 months ago
@HowardWolowitzFan I agree. We are encouraged to treat people equally. But we're not encouraged to make fun of people for things 'they can't help'. That's why it would be offensive IF Ricky was using the word 'mong' as a way of ridiculing people with disabilities. My point was, that no matter what people think of the word - its all down to the intent of the word. Ricky's use of the word didn't evoke any connotations negativity, let alone disability.

@ActionMirror I love Ricky, but I can't help but think that when he was talking about Susan Boyle ("Is she a mong?") that the context it is being used in is to mean down's syndrome. Obviously it isn't offensive, though.
FeedbackVoice 4 months ago
@FeedbackVoice Towards the end of that routine, he does attempt to justify himself by explaining that he doesn't mean to say Susan Boyle has down syndrome (or that he thinks that), however i'm not a big fan of that 'bit', as i do feel Susan Boyle is an easy target and i don't think it's particularly original or innovative to make fun of her for the way she looks.
