    Because you can't make jokes without offending someone, and offending people is the worst thing in the world now.
    This is despite the fact that to watch this you need to log into Netflix, select it, get passed the warning, click play and have never heard of his reputation.

    He isn't going around shouting his material through people's letterboxes.

    People will troll through many years of a person's Twitter feed to find something to offend them.

    Also watched it last week. Not a massive fan but found this funny.

    Finally got around to watching it.

    There were some pretty old jokes there, the Chinese one from the 60s or 70s is the most obvious example but also the locker room joke and the "acting more working class around builders" one. I've seen other comedians do those routines, and do them better too.

    It was only 52 minutes long but that was padded out.

    Talking about how rich he is was a Billy Connelly favourite.

    He's done that for ages. I do wonder if people who go on and on about being atheists actually have a seed of doubt in the back of their minds and will turn to God on their death beds.

    Not seen any one wanting the show banned as a result of it though which is what you culture warriors like to pretend is happening. The only things I've seen are just people saying the jokes aren't that funny and seemed crowbarred in by him to simply ensure he gets some scandal publicity. Hardly calls for censorship or de-platforming (or whatever you gb news zeolets like to call it). I'm sure they're are one or two leftie nutters out there which Piers will wheel out but can't say I've seen any.

    Not a Gervais fan but I thought I'd give it a go. I laughed at some parts, as I'd not heard his earlier material, smiled at other parts and just generally continued viewing it all.

    I've just reaffirmed, I wouldn't pay for a ticket to see him. What I did like though was the way he pointed out how some wokes will never change so long as they're heard, very valid point. He just let rip without giving a frig and to me that was refreshing, as I'm sick and tired of all the do gooders.
