[CakeFace579]

Sexy voice, sexy intellect, and have you seen pictures of him when he was young? Ugh. Why can't we be near the same age? I have a huge crush on him, John Stewart, and Seth MacFarlane. I need to find a guy near my age so I can talk about celebrity crushes without seeming like a gold-digger. But seriously, can anyone think of a respectable, attractive, intelligent, famous guy under 20? 25? Please answer if you can, my friends think I lust after old men.

[CakeFace579]

@CakeFace579 Oh wait just thought of Bo Burnham, he's nearly properly famous, right?

[99tac]

terrible painter. stick to what you're (very) good at.

[TheRandyChimp]

@99tac I think the one he showed at 1:19 was damn good. and the new york skyline one. He has room for improvement at this point, but this was, what, 4 years ago? He's probably improved since then. I was better at guitar after four years of playing, same with painting. Practive makes perfect.

[honeyglamourdancehug]

he has a really sexy voice

[Miniermotte]

@honeyglamourdancehug He IS really sexy!

[honeyglamourdancehug]

@Miniermotte damn right! His voice is among the sexiness though, lol

[szametha]

bahaha his face at 0:44! He's a master of parodying the bloated celebrity.

[suckaniggasdick]

I support this man wholeheartedly.

[MushroomMai]

Lovely. I love the layering in his paintings, the colours are nice too... I wonder if he ever has or will have an exhibition? Very nice.

[ImSamStarscream]

Heroes is based in new york isn't it? o.O

[theblackparade133]

Oh, I forgot he painted. Fuck, he can do everything.

"All animals are unconditionally perfect and beautiful", he is, really, the perfect man.

[Miniermotte]

@theblackparade133 I wanna marry hin!

[JanineRobin]

I love Ricky - You get the feeling he's the same bloke presenting the Golden Globes as he would be having a laugh in a pub. 

[pudseypumper]

You'll get nothing done with planning.

[GinoZump]

after all that serious paintings he should have shown a painting of a massive cock and described it in a serious manner like all the others. that would've been funny. :)

[demonikmagic]

i dont know whether to laugh hysterically or rest my chin on my fist and think deeply...

does anyone know if this is for real?

[Bjarku]

i love how clueless the media are constantly spouting "is he having a laugh". the whole point of "is he having a laugh" was to show how stupid and arbitrary catchphrases are in comedy.

[rishipattar]

Long live Ricky!!!!!!!!

[SelfActualizedGirl]

he may think he has no skill, but his work is pretty beautiful.

[MyTemporaryAccount88]

I still think music is his best talent after comedy, alas, those days have long gone ^^

[joepbailey]

the look he gives the camera when he's polishing his award at the end is amazing!... I couldn't stop laughing!

[Rafid]

Lol!!! Therapubic!

[kaykawab]

Wow, this certainly is the side of Ricky I've never seen. Knowing his passion and talent for painting, I like him even more.

His creativity is amazing!

[ting280]

ricky gervais is very cool

[ElectricSexPants]

I reckon it's real. It's not funny so there'd be no point otherwise.

[rogaface]

1:54 Did he say "Twee"? What is that ?

[spaceoreo]

Affected and sickly sweet.

[01hdav]

It is just how a baby says Tree.. lol no I think it means Refined.

[01joydivision]

nah twee means sort of over the top sweet.

[bigbadpoo]

He's really good!!!

[KeithUnderneath]

Is this for real d'you reckon?

Or another deadly "Ricky Gervais -spookily realistic- fake interview"

[WithGlases]

it is real

[mitch268921992]

Ricky actually is a really good artist, when u listen to his podcasts or audiobooks, you wouldn't have thought so...

[luiscabesc]

0:45-0:48

Gotta love Ricky Gervais.

[ooblie]

"therapyoo-ick"

[snapbrim76]

if u find ricky's accent funny (re:"therapyoo-ick") then do a search for "Shameless" and listen to how different they sound

[nickwang1987]

Ricky is the MAN.

[QuarantinedMarshland]

No, I see Ricky Gervais - the athiest - with some abstract art.

[ArtCrag]

how can he be an athiest when he has painted an abstract picture which accidentally features the faint images of jesus, a little girl and boy probably caused moslty by the effects of video compression - obviously ricky gervais (the religious nut) planned this...

[s3ansk1]

He comes across as an athiest in his polotics dvd!! i love him though in the office and extras ; ) but he is an athiest

[s3ansk1]

Agree

[semajdroflah]

BUT hes and atheist.... wtf!? so what

[s3ansk1]

You seemed to of missed the first part of our debate : / i take it your another angry athiest lol...typical : )

[rorrt]

i think hes more of a naturist, to say "athiest" lumps you in a very Black or white pile, whereas being a naturist you believe in the laws of nature, and the laws of science, with or without a god.

but there again im nit picking

[wabisabi12]

Actually even Ricky refers to himself as an athiest a number of times on his radio show and podcast.

[rorrt]

i know that, but you can (as i am) a naturalist, athiest.

naturalist emplies that you believe in the laws of nature, and science therefore, God is not a neccesity.

the head lecturer Greg Graffin of the UCLA, says there is no difference, being an Athiest labels you, and makes you look rather silly, its like saying there is no God, with no sort of backup.

to me naturalism acts as a backup.

So all in all they can, and 9/10 are the same

[chawk111]

You don't need any evidence to support the claim that their is no god - just the absence of evidence that there is. The affirmative side of any argument caries the burden of prof, not the negative. A-THEISM means exactly that: non-theism: lack of belief in a supreme being. If there was never such thing as religion, everyone would by default be an atheist, although we wouldn't have the term. It would be a non-issue. And I don't BELIEVE in science the same ppl BELIEVE in god.

[rorrt]

Im not sure, if there was no religion from day 0, there would be religion but not as we know it, i think jean paul satre on the evolution of religion says it came from worship for the sun, the giver of life, and then that idea evolved into a person creating the heavens and the earth.

i am an athiest, but also am a naturalist, as i believe Gervais also is, a naturalist is just a believer of science.

There is no evidence either way for the existence of God, or otherwise.

[carlson2306]

He has said on his radio show and his podcast that hes an athiest.

[rorrt]

but like i said, if your a believer of science, and the laws of nature you are a naturalist.

But yeah he has said he is an athiest, but with the earlier statment, which also matches his beliefs he must be a naturist.

[spaceoreo]

No, it doesn't mean that at all. You can respect and admire nature and not believe in a god. Ricky has stated his position as an atheist.

[jackieblueTube]

and you must be a semanticist?

[rorrt]

Indeed i am.

[ArtCrag]

OMG does anyone else see in the picture the 2 children and jesus behind them @ from 1:54?

[freerangeego]

I just love everything this man does!

[flybywir]

This may be a new master stroke by RG, he's probably going to get Charles Saatchi to buy a couple of these for about 500 grand each, put them on display in the Saatchi gallery and bingo Ricky's a top artist like those other two Satchi inventions/con artists D.Hirst and T.Emin..............

[freshdarkstar]

dont watch if you have epilepsy!

[deKrom]

he is just having a laugh....

[J8cen88]

i dont get why people say ricky gervais is fat, hes prob clased as skinny in america

[nefertum]

Beautiful paintings!

[schmam121]

Thats the weird thing about Gervais, you never know whether hes being an affectionately-annoying kid, or someones whos really quite a romantic. Guess hes blending em in this vid...but theyre defintiely his

[723145]

is this for real?

[karatefella]

Is that the cat Jonathan Ross gave him ?

[Pcoxrocks]

Yeah, ollie

[kevingleave]

Colin is a better cat

[rerbooloo]

lol yeah colins a legend

[karatefella]

They look like the daubings of a five year old !

[karatefella]

The trouble I find with anything Ricky does is that I never know whether he is being serious or taking the piss !

Does anyone else have that ?

[shaun2908]

he's an artist... but also he is serious in taking the piss

[arkhforever]

I think his art is pretty good....doesn't matter if the artist has a high skill or not....as long as there is something that makes you think or catch an interest in it, then all is ok.

[automphalascope]

tylerdurden is a maniac fascist.. the idiot that blogs too much, is a mental fan, and is too weak from lack of sunight to think straight.

[Santhor]

I think hes joking. He didnt really paint that. Those paintings are really good and hes being really modest. Ricky is not a modest person!

[shaun2908]

but ricky is a great drawer/painter. i know where you are coming from, because he looks like hes jokin with this, but serious ricky is really good at drawing/painting. he will have painted these pictures, lol he's just wanting to show his many talents in this video

[matrags]

Is this for real or a mock up?

[shaun2908]

a bit of both, but he will have painted those pictures

[WestCountryCider]

Lmao - His David Brent face when he's cleaning the award is brilliant.

[Steve474]

are they actually his work? im really confused lol. Ricky is the best anyway

[shaun2908]

i cant say for sure if these are really his paintings, but i know that ricky is a great drawer and painter, so i would put any money on these being his paintings

[hypatience]

These paintings are really really bad. Really bad. Bad. He's kidding, right? Yeah.

[hypatience]

More like vagina head, since I am female. Or to be more exact, pussy head, twat head (quite like that one), cunt/snatch/snapper head. And I am a big RG fan and think he is a comic genius,so you and I have something we can agree on.

[hypatience]

Chilllllllll.

[DavidRSimpson]

'Snatch Head' - genius

[Blackearache]

Yeah but that's opinion. Art can be what you want it to be.

[budfloydi]

haha

[Jacked637]

lol cool stuff
