  • David Letterman is the consumate talk show host ...

  • the youtube comment preview doesn't work anymore.

  • I was jogging once.

  • Wow I can't believe I came to see this video just to see if the comments box would read itself to me before posting the comment.

  • Soccer...

  • lol what did lothr say? it won't show me?

  • @IThinkMyNamesTooLong Not enough.

  • fuking usa calling it soccer, hated when ricky called it tht (i know rickys english obviously)

  • @midnightbluenoz well he did want people to know what he meant, so you can't blame him for that.

  • @DionKool i know im blaming usa for calling it soccer, pretty much the whole world calls it football, but usa have to be morons arrw we have to come up our own name for it lol grrr

  • To those who make fun of obese Americans...I offer you two facts:

    1) Even the poor in America are so well-off, that they can afford food to eat, be happy and get fat too. Now that IS a great country!

    2) You consider us out of shape and yet we STILL win the most medals in the Summer and Winter Olympics...so what does that say about your countries!?

    USA #1 :)

  • @ChaseRocker This is satire correct?

  • @ChaseRocker China actually wins the most medals, and the reason the USA and China win more medals than others is because they have the largest populations. The more people, the more chance of one of them being good at something. Just sayin'

  • @jake27990 true about the population thing mostly...though what about India? But really, in 2008 and 2010 Summer and Winter Olympics, US won the most medals.

  • Letterman is such a terrible host

  • He makes some fun sounds at 3:55

  • Look guys, Reekochips violated Godwins law and ended this argument. Shut up.

  • Look at the suggestion videos on the right, Ricky wears the same type of sweater every time, just different colours :p

  • @LamaHooligan I think he would laugh and agree, pretty sure the clothes he is wearing in this video is what he wears in GTA 4 too

  • @LamaHooligan the top suggestion is just the part two of this video. so there's two occasions he wears that kind of a sweater on the suggestions.

  • @TomValedro Just watch all the David Letterman interviews, then write me a clever comeback.

  • @LamaHooligan not in the suggestions though

  • are you on crack? hahaha

  • He laughs like a witch.

  • Baseball is an English girls' game called rounders

    Basketball is a game played by girls called 'netball'

    and American football is a take on Rugby played with lots of padding..!

  • Football/Soccer whatever you want to call it. Its still absolute plebian shite.

  • I really liked Letterman in this interview. He was playing off Ricky and they were having fun and he wasn't being weird like he sometimes is. He was really funny too... Of course Ricky was hilarious which should go without saying :D

  • What sort of fucking Brit calls football, Soccer? especially after Letterman calls it football. What a "I want America to love me" crawler.

  • @5StarWullie Bollocks, its for clarification to an american audience.

  • @soberirishboy Read the post moron. Letterman calls it football, why should 'British' Ricky calls it soccer.

  • @5StarWullie - so that Americans don't start bitching about what real ''football'' is.

  • @5StarWullie lol, the same kind of wanker that says "hey dude" in a Scouse accent, or watches American football while eating popcorn.  They need a good kicking.

  • @5StarWullie - you're a moron and obviously a YouTube trawler.

  • @GhostAholics You sad little Ghostbusters fanatic.

  • psy

  • damn i cant believe its 2011, i allways imagined the future being better then it is

  • he is hilarious and kinda cute LOL

  • Man, Fat Ricky is funnier than Thin Ricky. It's Elvis all over

  • @dmjdmj In America....Ricky is not fat....he would only be considered fat in a place like Canada....in the US....he would be considered REALLY SKINNY...

  • @KayWildcat ricky is fat

  • @TomValedro ...I guess you never been to the U.S....

  • @KayWildcat he even says himself that he is fat.

  • @TomValedro First of all, you clearly aren't aware of what I'm trying to say....clearly you need to be more open to the world. Of course, he calls himself fat and for his height, maybe he is a little overweight, all I'm saying is that compared to American standards he isn't even close to being fat.....if you used your brain a little more, you'll get my point.

    By the way it's just a general statement....

  • @KayWildcat Ricky Gervais is fat, just admit it. There isn't any ''American Standards'' or any other standards there is just a one standard where you compare the persons weight to his height to determine if the person is overweight or not and by that standard Ricky is overweight or FAT.

  • @TomValedro HOW STUPID COULD YOU BE?!! Who cares if he's fat, that's not my point. I'm just using Ricky as an example to just generally accuse USA for being fat (IN GENERAL)......honestly...you are incredibly moronic!

  • @KayWildcat false

  • @popomczowzow What are you referring to?

  • @KayWildcat i don't care about your point, i just stated he is fat. retard.

  • @TomValedro IDIOT.....you didn't just "state" your point, you argued with it....*sigh*...morons these days....

  • @KayWildcat And won the argument. I own

  • @TomValedro No, you actually shamefully lost and hence resulted in changing the subject from the actual point of the whole thing.

  • @KayWildcat i owned you.

  • @TomValedro How immature....anyways keep on dreaming....little brat.

  • hahaha i liked tha

  • @KayWildcat Your the one who started calling me names, talk about immature, retard. WINNING!

  • @TomValedro How is that immature? Saying what you are isn't immature. Calling Obama the president is immature? Nope. Same thing here. You are an idiot and your actions justify it. You are also a loser...

  • @KayWildcat where the fuck are you from?

  • @b1bIs1337 I was born in the US.

  • @KayWildcat ah, well anyways not many fat people around here.

  • @KayWildcat Doing adhominem attacks instead of concentrating on the argument is immature. I'm just gonna leave it to this comment, you fail kid. And Ricky Gervais is still fat.

  • @KayWildcat Are you trying to be funny?

    He would be judged harshly in Miami, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco & New York. Pasty and fat. Urban white people are obsessed w/tans, abs and being skinny. It is almost like that is the only thing that matters.Many Brits like Eric Idle complain about how hard and long they have to work out after moving to L. A. He'd be seen as normal in most rural/suburban places in America's midwest and all of Canada except Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver & Quebec.

  • @eqsmooth Yes, I was trying to be funny.

  • @KayWildcat I don't know where the fuck you live in the U.S. but in my state of Florida, Ricky would definitely not be considered skinny. I would say he is just sort of pudgy.

  • @FrustratedKitten Okay, moron....I already made it clear that I just said it as a joke.....

  • @KayWildcat I'm not a moron you dumb ass, your comment is obviously a joke but that doesn't mean you weren't serious.

  • @FrustratedKitten ...well, I wasn't serious and just so you'll stop crying....you're not a moron.

  • @KayWildcat Jokes aren't funny if they don't actually have any basis, for example your original comment got thumbs up because people thought it was funny because it is a common stereotype of Americans to be fat. If you had said something completely baseless, like.... Ricky is not fat he would only be considered fat in a place like america in australia... he would be considered really skinny. See, most people would not consider that funny because it doesnt make any sense. Oh, and I'm not crying.

  • @FrustratedKitten Yes, but back to the main point, 24 people found that comment funny....it DID have basis, so what is your point?

  • @KayWildcat You're right...he's a skinny Rosie O'Donnell, but an atheist maggot....!

  • @ReekoChet You can't see all athiests as being negative....that's not right. It's not about what he believes in, but how he decides to persue such beliefs.

  • @KayWildcat Atheist aren't negative, just positively wrong...You die and that's it...NOTHING HAPPENS...? Maybe an occasional reincarnation. It's more Luciferian philosophy than just scientific. He's a Fat Limey Fuck with crooked ass teeth and faggoty laugh..anyway...Fuck him....yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and judge him on this one. Fuck that fat limey scum...ha ha ha .....

  • @ReekoChet Well see, once again your judging his beliefs while thinking yours is of what's right. You don't know what happens in the afterlife (if there is any). Just because someone believes there is no afterlife doesn't mean they are wrong....in fact you could be wrong about what you believe in......don't be so close-minded.

  • @ReekoChet At least Atheists have the decency and humility to admit that they don't know what happens after death. Religious people seem completely unwilling to think that they may be wrong, a complete lack of humility. Hang on, isn't one of the defining lessons that the Bible is supposed to teach you is humility? Grow up and accept the fact that yeah, maybe nothing happens after you die. Everything about your comment screams uneducated idiot. I doubt you've even read your holy book.

  • @ILoveYourMumAndChips Decency and humility...? Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, the list goes on, that's what comes to mind when I think of atheists decency and humility...not to mention, Catholics who used the Christian name to murder and conquer worlds. This includes those who have cloned and bastardized the bible from the King James Version. Other than the King James Version, other bibles lead you to atheism, new age, wicca, demigods, all spawned by Crowley and his whore Blavatsky.

  • @ReekoChet Firstly, i've had to point this out to a lot of people, Hitler was a Roman Catholic. You picked 3 of the worst atheists in history and extrapolated from there. The list of horrendous acts committed in the name of Religion is too long I don't even know where to begin. The Church of England - created by a King acting like a 4 year old who couldn't get his own way. The Roman Catholic Church - crucified Jesus and stole his teachings to oppress others. Name me one Church that was created

  • @ReekoChet purely with the intention of doing good. You cannot do it. I'm not saying Religion is a bad thing, but it's like Communism for example. Good on paper but will be forever ruined by narrow minded, extremist fools who will ruin it for the vast majority of normal people. Religion does not give people a moral compass, give me one moral act you could commit as a religious person that I couldn't as an atheist.

  • @ILoveYourMumAndChips I've read the King James Version and compared them to OTHERS. Maybe you should and this time understand why the bastardized versions omit words and verses. It isn't because they think the King James Version is hard to read so we've written it for your convenience. It's because they knew lazy useless eaters that you are won't take the time to understand the true meaning. It's like prescribed medicine keeping you alive, but the pharmacist gives you a weaker dose.

  • @ILoveYourMumAndChips You have made a good point, I hate to say it but that is what I like most about atheists you always try and explain. You don't give that "God works in mysterious ways" bullshit. Don't blame people like ReekoChet but blame the religious leaders that misapply and misinterprete the Bible. The Pope, archbishops, imams and pastors are the ones destroying peoples faith in religion. anyone who ibelieves in God should study the Bible and expose the lies of the idiots

  • @KayWildcat dude you would be suprised, canadas actually geting fatter !

  • @ZooYork258 Yea, I know....but they're a long way from matching the US!

  • @KayWildcat  very true !

  • @dmjdmj i agree

  • "Are you on crack?" Ha, ha, ha, ha!!

  • I find it weird that a lot of Americans don't like Dave, I'm a Brit and I think he's brilliant

  • Letterman is such a shitty host.

  • are you on crack?

    yes!

  • @lothre oh shut the fuck up, that's exactly what he was trying to stop people typing about!

  • @lothre Please, fuck off or watch the video and enjoy it. Nobody honestly gives a shit.

  • @lothre You just did exactly what he was telling you NOT to do, retard

  • @lothre no one gives a shit

    fuck off plz

  • @lothre Yep the name soccer originated in the u.k! but it hasn't been a phrase used by the british in general for a very long time. it is exactly what it says on the tin FOOTBALL! which is why we don't use the term soccer anymore! In fact why the fuck am i replying to this because quite honestly i couldn't give a flying fuck!

  • @lothre go to Europe, go to Asia, and go to Africa... they call it football, why cant you?

  • @lothre

    The sport's called Association Football. The word Association was used to distinguish it from Rugby Football. The 'soc' from AsSOCiation was used to create a pet-form/nickname: Soccer. It's an archaic slang term rather than the real name and it's seldom used now in the UK.

  • @lothre If you call it Soccer in the UK the reaction will be "Fuck off you idiot!"

  • @aikighost Who gives a shit what the reaction will be in the UK. It's a sport for morons, anyway.

  • @7mattof All sport bar MMA is for morons :)

  • @7mattof It's the most popular sport on planet Earth, you bonehead.

  • @7mattof If you want a gay sport, try American Football. Rugby for pussies who wear a helmet and enough padding to protect them from a nuclear attack.

  • hes just mumblin

  • 45

  • @punkrockergirl11 no shit, that was the point, retard.

  • Letterman: are there pockets in snooker?

    Ricky: yees o.O we have pockets in snooker O.o

    rofl

  • Comment removed

  • I fucking hate letterman. I like gervais though.

  • Finally Ricky is coming round to talking about his past-life openly. Maybe now he can release the 16 track demo tape from Seona Dancing because they were AWESOME!

  • Letterman's great in this too

    

  • Ricky Gervais is great. He's a hell of a comedian and I love that he's so real too.

  • Old english men started to call i soccer. It's a myth that it's an american thing, the only reason why americans call's it soccer is because - as said here before - the sport they are so passionate about is called american fotball, but in america the only call it football. Of course. Stop arguing over stupid stuff.

  • @tpmableful Wow, that's so insightful! Since you've shamed us for talking about highly contentious topics, it looks like you've got the floor. Let's talk about what YOU want to talk about. Go on! Tell us about your favourite lipgloss!

  • LOL! Every video on Youtube has some lame argument going on about God or politics or race or whatever. It's absurd!

  • where's the audio preview on this?

  • "i rather play it than watch it" That's fucking right why the fuck would i want to watch basketball players make millions? I don't care about that i'll put on some basketball shorts and head to the park myself.

  • @gurggy Way to illustrate why he needs to proclaim his atheism: as long as people like you automatically interpret "I don't believe in any gods" as "fxck you!", there's still work to be done.

    But I do love that you're so offended by him that you're going to sit and watch videos of him. That should definitely help your righteous indignation along nicely!

  • @gurggy You're a clown. Your god didn't give him any of that. He created his own opportunities. Get a grip.

  • @specialfx34 Correction: It is because he knows that most Americans are to insular and blinkered to EVER realise that different countries have different terminology. In England if an American uses a phrase that isn't well used over here, we still decipher it and put it down to their way of talking. When an Englishman does the same thing in America, Americans are usually unable to make that leap and understand anything outside of their immediate experience... Not all Americans, but many of them.

  • @Davidbensonxyz Actually Americans do know that when a Brit says football he/she means 'soccer' and not American football. They just pretend not to know.

    It is one of the many ways they like to belittle us... by feigning ignorance of anything British, (showing us how unimportant we are to them).

    Sorry for the generalisation Yanks... but you know its true.

    Brits do the same thing when they say "whats soccer"? So there are insecure idiots on both sides of the pond.

    (Of course, not all of us)

  • @gamblemadman america already countered for that when the sport was inventing it by calling it "AMERICAN football"...so using football for soccer is totally OK...

  • Dave was right when he said in the beginning: If everyone was as funny as Ricky Gervais, there would be no wars.

  • brilliant interview. gervais and letterman make quite the double act.

  • @specialfx34 Also, Soccer isn't inherently American. It was a word adopted from the English, who reverted to calling it Football with the rest of the world, while we kept their old word for the game. It's from the word Association, from Association Football. Not sure how many Englishmen know this, but Ricky would easily be one of them.

  • cool

  • I love Ricky's laugh. =]

  • hello

  • @specialfx34 its a good point you make. its just weird that letterman asks him if he plays or goes to football games......and he replies by saying soccer 15 times. its a little weird

  • Mad cool yo.

  • Ricky : Are u on crack?

    David: Yes i am....something new for the summer

    LMAO

  • Two very funny comedians...gold!

  • Maybe now weve got one of our boys on american tv without bad teeth it will dispell the stereotype

  • @danpayne118 RICKYS CUTTING HIS TEETH ON AMERICAN TV

  • @markstar777 what?

  • i love the scene at 2:50 heheheheheheheh

  • 5:09 - 5:11 best part hands down "hahaha"

  • Why do Americans act so ignorant when interviewing English or British people?

  • Why do Americans act so ignorant when interviewing English or British people?

  • Why do Americans act so ignorant when interviewing English or British people?

  • @specialfx34 It's a bit disturbing that you had to explain that to my fellow Americans,either way Ricky is one talented comedian.

  • what an ignorant interviewer

  • I enjoy Letterman's interviewing style. His interviews aren't really "interviews," but more like lunchtime chats.

  • Letterman says football and Ricky says soccer lol

  • letterman is such a bad interviewer. has zero control of the interview and asks such ignorant questions.

  • i love ricky bigtime a huge star in england an i hope he makes it big there too he deserves it man greeting from manchester peace yallllllllllllll

  • Erm right, terrible interview. Gervais is a legend.

  • the man is a genious, and i dont mean letterman i mean our very own Mr Gervais.

  • Go to 3:51 in the timeline and play the part where Ricky says "So I got a cricket one". Play it over again a few times - What the hell are all those extras noises he makes after it lol

  • @JanineRobin Just little rambling noises. A lot of English people make them, I've found. I do, as a matter of fact.

  • @JanineRobin

    Thats how we talk :) we don't finish sentences often :)

  • @JanineRobin looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

  • @JanineRobin In England it was a whole sentence.

  • @JanineRobin

    HAHAAH kept clicking that same spot, hilarious :D

  • @JanineRobin He's saying "Cause I didn't know what it was" ^_-

  • @JanineRobin

    Hahah I found it to be fairly clear but yeah. ;)

  • @JanineRobin ahahahah he talks so fast!!

  • @JanineRobin Translated from english-english it says: cause i didnt know of any other type of cup so i just got a cricket one

    lol... i understood it perfectly

  • @JanineRobin

    he's obviously stuttering for words.

  • How about everyone just stops bickering?

    I LOVED THIS VIDEO. Not really a fan of Letterman, but Ricky made me laugh out loud like 5 times :)

  • "I am listening!"

    LMAO - I love the banter between these two.

  • @specialfx34 Well said mate. 18 months. You'd think these people had no lives or something. Oh...right.

  • lol at 1:28 when letterman forces his laugh, you can hear the audience doing the same shit, fucking live studio audiences, it's like letterman is telling them when to laugh with his retarded sounding laughter...

  • That fucking laugh is so forced!

  • I HATE RICKY GERVAIS SO FUCKING MUCH. I WISH HE WOULD FUCKING DIE. HE IS NOT FUNNY, HE CAN'T ACT, HE HAS A MASSIVE EGO, IF THIS IS THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT CAN OFFER THE BRITISH PUBLIC THEN THERE ISN'T A FUCKING CHANCE LEFT FOR ANYONE WITH GENUINE TALENT IN THIS COUNTRY. FUCK OFF ANYONE WHO STICKS UP FOR THIS FAT WASTE OF SPACE.

  • @1Thompsonmusic Meh, matter of taste, innit? Why don't you calm down and have a nice cup of tea?

  • @JanPanda

    Boring bastard. Shut up

  • @1Thompsonmusic Wow, with a friendly attitude like yours you must be oodles of fun in real life.

  • @1Thompsonmusic You're commenting on 1 of HIS videos...

  • @1Thompsonmusic I think you need to chill out a bit, mate. Don't you even like The Office?

  • @123456yum123456

    You chill out and shut the fuck up

  • @1Thompsonmusic Get a bucket and empty the sand out of your vagina mate.

  • @1Thompsonmusic Oh I get it, you're 6 years old.

    Ask you're mum how to turn the Caps Lock off love.

  • @123456yum123456

    Trying to sound patronising are we? This coming from some dick who likes to watch videos of a fat talentless cunt on youtube!

  • @1Thompsonmusic Surely you watched this video? Unless you simply came on here to write a relatively long comment showing your disdain for Ricky Gervais. But what kind of mentally deficient nutcase would do that?

    No, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, you must just find the interview funny.

  • @1Thompsonmusic Why bother clicking on this video then dumbass..? Did he ever reject your love or something, because to be honest you sound like a broken man...
