What's not to like about a Ricky Gervais show? Everything he does is just brilliant. I watched all his stand up comedies he did thus far and I never got disappointed. The same with his latest show Humanity, it's all very entertaining and funny from the first till the last second. Okay it's not for the easily offended but then again those people just don't have the right kind of sense of humor. Most of his jokes are also never far from the truth, the hurtful truth, things people know it's the truth but don't like to hear it. To mock religion is the best humor there is as religion is based on completely ridiculous stories that need to be mocked. Too bad if you're that stupid to continue to believe in the biggest scam of history. Ricky Gervais is never afraid to put humor in everything, even the delicate subjects, and for that you have to applaud him, because humor cures everything.

Ricky Gervais returns seven years since his last stand-up performance. Topics include Twitter reactions to jokes he's told before, bragging about fame and wealth, advocating that stupid people should have died from bleach poisoning before the Brexit vote, and wondering why people find his material offensive. If you enjoy people spouting anti-democratic narratives for $40 million then you'll love this.

The Twitter put downs were good, but including child cancer in material shows he is reliant too much on shock. He seriously has some issues I think.

First of all - I'm a huge Ricky Gervais fan - I've watched most of the stuff he and Smerchant wrote/produced/starred in and this must be the worst thing of all that. The most alarming to me was that Ricky seems to be living in some sort of pre-internet, no memory land as he thinks audience is unfamiliar with the Golden Globes, US talk shows, and even his old shows. I was shocked as I recognized about 80% of Rick's stuff on this show. The rest just felt old anyway... Jokes that consist of explaining old jokes he told somewhere else.. Jokes about sagging balls.. It just all felt like Rick found some kind of TV archive (including his shows) and thought: "Hey, that's good and no one will probably remember!" The other thing was Ricky's persona on this show. He tried to fit himself in a role of this exalted explainer and mesiah talking about his dull observations that many made before him and maybe in a funnier way, too. It just all felt a bit too self-satisfied and over-confident. Not impressed...
