Ricky Gervais | Night Of Too Many Stars

Since ive been able to separate ricky from david brent in my head, i cant get enough of him . His stand up is great and the fact he prefers dogs to people, is an athiest and hates people eating noisily just makes him a hero in my eyes 😁👊

that sick puppy joke goes back many years to the beginning of his career

ricky, you're simply the best comedian

what a legend!. huge balls to perform this routine at a charity event

When Karl said it, he was being sincere. Ricky is saying as part of his stage persona.

There's a serious problem with me. I found it just as funny as the first four times.

Karl actually came up with these “jokes” (it wasn’t really a joke to Karl) on the spot ffs. I wonder how great of a stand up comedian he’d be

Brilliant!! U r a legend Ricky.

Ricky is a comedic genius

100% legend.

Completely agree. To be fair to Ricky though, he was in absolute hysterics when Karl said this. He said he was going to burst.

Incredible levels of thinking from this guy.

Ricky stole Karl's joke of "Not another mouth to feed".

Ricky's comic timing is brilliant, and this is mostly his material anyway! He puts his own spin on things and delivers it in his own way, even if about ONE line of it was something Karl said. Get over it, its still brilliant.

A beautiful bit for so many reasons

hes so evil! i love him!

Well it's a fair point, come to think of it I have heard Eddie Izzard repeat material. Which is odd for a someone who's supposed to be improvising. As for Noble and Moran, I would say they're more than just 'mildly' successful. Dylan videos have millions of views, far more than this. Gervais is just good at pandering to America and exposing himself. His actual stand-up is that well-regarded.

When Karl said it, it was much funnier.

This joke was presented by Dilkington . The most valued customer

Cant believe the 'died of hypothermia.. result' line didnt get a bigger laugh tbh

Gervais doing his charity 'bit' for the umpteenth time, I see. Get this man a new script writer.

As big a fan as I am of Ricky (and as much as this doesn't really change that), it does annoy me about him when he just uses Karl's genius material in his own stand-up, without crediting him.

he's bloody using Karl's words I say !!

haha i would ave loved to see karl up there performing!

brilliant!

Brilliant! !

@aidanja23 Karl is still a funny guy - what he says is clearly supposed to be amusing (no matter how much he actually believes it) I'm sure Karl doesn't mind, but there are several times where Ricky has taken one of Karl's jokes and used it himself.

Karl Pilkington is genius.

AMAZING!

you know someones losing weight when you suddenly notice there ears stick out

Ofcourse he reused jokes for this, it's a charity gig, if he's not getting paid for it he a'int writing shit 😂😂

All true fans know Karl is the mastermind behind this .

The audience didn’t give him the justice his jokes deserve

Awesome!

instructing and playing in his new series

Such a genius.

That'd be awesome, seeing goats on every corner in major citys.
I'm in.

i bet ricky performed this before he knew that karl's story would become part of the hit series on HBO. Busted

Thing is, karl said it (as always) seriously

haha .. guess some people don't know sarcasm!

That was something Karl said but to be honest Rick and Steve did coax it out of him. Karl would still be toiling in the dark at XFM if they hadn't swept him up and sent him to the third world living in caves and eating bugs, squeezing and putting a bin lid on his head- so Rick is perfectly justified.

Who cares that he used a line from someone that he basically created, im thinking making Karl a millionaire more than makes up for it. Ricky Gervais is a genius and one of the worlds comedy greats

And people say Ricky steals Karl's jokes...
I've never witnessed Karl telling a joke, he IS the joke.

I hope he at least asked Karl for that joke.

I love the 'what?' face at 1:23. He does it quite a bit and it is genius.

@BrunoSantosOrg I love it that you call people ignorants, even though you freely admit you don't know who Karl Pilkington is. He's a really funny man. Check out his podcasts with Ricky Gervais.

@Serbskii Yes but Ricky and Steve where defending the whole "Give a goat" concept. And Karl had the exact views that Ricky gives of as his own in this video. In the podcast, Ricky thought it was a good way of distributing wealth. I don't really mind but i think its funnier to rant about your genuine opinion

he looked funnier when he was chubby

"Coffee maker machine" -- A machine that makes coffee makers?

He created Karl Pilkington. How can Ricky steal from something that he created?

Wow, I didn't even remember this post. It's what I read at the time. Not sure if it's a rumor or not, but I'm sure Pilk is doing quite well with the money

if you listened to the ricky gervais show you would understand

Ricky didn't steal Karl's '"joke". Karl said that stuff about a goat because he didn't understand how the charity worked. Karl said it as a serious comment, and Ricky used it as a anecdote for his stand-up because it was ridiculous way to think about it that way. That's how most comedians come up with their material.

he is fucking hilarious ahahah

Oh, you people. These are the modern day equivalent of those who beat up actors who play bad guys in soaps. The characters played by RG and KP are marketing ploys. That's not to say they haven't played on inherent traits they already hold, but in addition, Ricky shamelessly plugged KP in every stand up show he did, back in the day. I'm pretty sure Karl isn't unhappy about the situation.

Ricky's kind of evil! :o

I think ricky gervais is great, very talented but he needs to come up with some new material. I've heard that goat one in about 3 of his shows now and it's not even his work, it's Karl's.

what abuse?.. and just because he puts up with some shit off 2 blokes he's known for over a decade, doesn't mean its an act. Listen to the old XFM shows, where they first met him, he often 'abuses' them back. Its called banter, not acting. Thicko.

congrats on not understanding ricky gervais' humour at all

The goat joke was Karl's.

his jokes are about the awkwardness of people confronted with a disabled person, not at the disabled person themselves. theres a subtle yet significant difference

😂😂😂😂

This is from his Science stand up tour.

genius

yeah i noticed a lot of karl in his standup, especially politics, but karl wasn't all that well known when politics came out so i didn't know then.

Wicked!

99% Gervais
1% Pilkington

song? anyway, I love Gervais... very funny

i remember ricky telling that joke about the dog shelter over 10 years ago on the 11 o clock show and on his recent science tour so god this man needs new material!!!!!!!!!!!!! seems abit lazy to me.

There is always the chance that Ricky wrote this for Karl as well....?

Who took this joke from who??? I think this is Karl's

Always the same story with the frickn goat...

This is originally Karl Pilkington moan than turned to a Ricky Gervais joke. A lot of his stand up comes from Xfm “Ricky Gervais show”

That charity gift card... One has to be careful. It tends to not be very appreciated. It's a little patronizing, isn't it? Like: "You should be doing thisanyway [you shithead]." Why give it in someone else's name? The etiquette column I read says that a gift is supposed to make the recipient happy, not the giver... Just give the money directly to the charity yourself! I say the one exception is bullshit situations where nonsense gifts are "given". I.e. wedding favors... (Oh god.) Just go ahead and give contributions to an elephant rescue organization. People may raise eyebrows. But they would give zero shits about those M&Ms with your names on them.

does he memorize his speech? every single word and the toning of them is the same, i mean it is common for comedians to tell the same jokes as they perform in various places but this is just weird...

Where is Karl,s credit for a lot of this? Lol hope he got some commission?

As if Karl cares. He's got three houses and just started a production company with Ricky.

stop worrying about grown men!

Good thinking by Ricky, dont waste your own material on a charity gig... use Karls

Basically all his jokes are Karl pilkington inspired. From the Ricky Gervais Show

He didn't create Karl Pilkington. Gods sake what do you have to show that he created it.

he's just so cruel

The goat bit is a Seinfeld knock off of George

Its annoying me how he has a go at karl saying not another mouth to feed and all that in the podcast then uses it in a routine

Dear lord please tell me you're joking.

I've been a big Gervais fan since the beginning but I'm with the people who are annoyed by him nicking from Karl.
He even uses it in the 'Science' tour so it's not like he's just using it for obscure little comedy gigs. I mean... Using Karl's entire routine (which he already said on Letterman six times) for your MAIN comedy tour. That's lazy.
It wouldn't exactly be hard to write five minutes material in its place. If it is, maybe he should go back to the drawing board.

Thanks ,O think they worked on it together I am sure that karl would not mind

it's not a joke to karl, it's life. ricky is just exposing the being that is karl.

Karl pilkington is a bald headed genius

Except Eddie Izzard, Ross Noble, Dylan Moran etc.

all comedians jokes come from funny things that have happend to him.

Does he ask steve and karl if he can rip off their conversations?

Wow, stole the whole goat thing from Karl. Ridiculous.

who's talking about obesity? have you not seen the bit where he goes on at length about people with ME not really being disabled?

Tough crowd

@AndysEdits Karl does not speak drivel......he is in essence's, the pinnacle of all thinking minds.

it makes me wonder too. How come a poor African family gets to have a goat and can somehow make money with it while I'm poor in America but have to work at Walmart.

I heard that Louis was great.

I PEED MY PANTS!

It's been said 100 times but I can't help it.. stole from Karl
