Been reading a review of Gervais' stand-up show last week and the reviewer hated it.
Except I laughed outloud at this stuff.
Does that make me bad?
The show is based on a lecture about animal behaviours from a character played by Gervais:

"Beginning with a black-and-white film of lions and lionesses mating in the wild, the tone is quickly set once the "French" narrator begins making misogynistic remarks at how the female of the species teases the male.

And any pretence at serious discussion is banished once and for all when Gervais reveals his notion of "the most destructive creature on earth" - giant gorilla King Kong.

Having wasted many hours watching the Discovery Channel, he says, "ask me anything about sharks and Nazis".

Apparently the former are by far the more fearsome predator: "a shark would have found Anne Frank in a second."

His cruellest jibe is reserved for Stephen Hawking, whom Gervais believes is "pretentious" because "he comes from Kent but speaks in an American accent".

Fantastic.
And if you listen to Xfm, he's back in 2 weeks doing his how.

Conversly, he could have been talking about Channel 5...

How can you not find that funny?

"A shark could find Anne Frank in a second."

Give this man lots of money to make more telly programmes.

I don';t see why people get upset at what is clearly designed to be humour, just not their kind.

If it was intentionally racist or something I could understand, but otherwise, laugh away man.
