Just as I was about to doubt Ricky's brilliance, he said "It was hydrogen. That joke doesn't work."

He never fails to impress me :)

FINALLY a young, smart talk show host instead of the usual old stuffy guys (leno, letterman)! No Ageism intended, I like Craig ferguson, who is also kinda old. :)

I meant the joke didn't work. I thought he meant it doesn't work because he said Helium instead of hydrogen as in the joke is different, but not the effect. Now I see he was talking about the effect. But now I see where u are coming from. I was confused. U r right.

@timoteoman13

What are you talking about? The Hindenburg used hydrogen, as pointed out, so the high-pitch joke does of course work. Ricky was wrong.

In fact he has been wrong on the subject before. They talked about it on the radio show and he said Hindenburg had helium and that helium is very flammable. I believe he was corrected by email.

@JJJMMM1 But helium doesn't burn so it wouldn't work.

@laymarko

Hydrogen has the same effect on pitch as helium - in fact the effect is stronger.

Anyone else think that segment was so brilliant it must of been written before?

If that was improv Ricky Gervais if a fucking comic genius.

[aradioactivedonut]
