Enjoy<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t normally comment on comedian specials, because I know how hard<br \/>\nthey are to Do\/Produce\/Create. Here goes. Just &#8220;watched&#8221; Ricky Gervais&#8217;s<br \/>\nHumanity lastnight. Really just shocked me as being such a lonely sad and<br \/>\ndysfunctional &#8220;experience&#8221;. It was like &#8220;listening&#8221; to some Old out of touch<br \/>\nasshole billionaire complainin at the smell $100&#8217;s make as he uses them to<br \/>\nlight up his cigar, then extinguish it on a happy baby&#8217;s face thinkin it&#8217;s just<br \/>\nso &#8220;hilarious&#8221;. There&#8217;s almost no punchline, lots of punch. Aside from a few<br \/>\njokes About Ridgebacks, Catlin Jenner (The beginning part), And &#8216;Floating&#8217;<br \/>\ntesticles, it was a man complainin about topics he has no actual experience<br \/>\nwith. All while rehashing old jokes about having kids\/poor families done so<br \/>\nmuch better by Python, WC Fields, Youngman, Carlin, Pryor, Williams, and<br \/>\nChapelle. Any good comedian knows the visual difference in the formats of<br \/>\nfilm &amp; stand-up for the correct impact\/story. Most all of it was no set up, no<br \/>\ndepth, no layering, no turn and no writin. It was a lazy, shallow, needlessly<br \/>\ncruel, punching down work of a wealthy thin skinned guy railing about how<br \/>\n&#8220;awful&#8221; cultural sensitivity it all while being &#8220;hyper sensitive&#8221; himself. To an<br \/>\naudience of 1. It also Seems That he has just spent his last seven years on<br \/>\nTwitter baiting &amp; trolling people, then Attacking Them. Makes Lenny Bruce<br \/>\nreading his legal cases intellectually &#8220;riveting&#8221; by comparison; and boy they<br \/>\nweren&#8217;t. As any good comic would tell you, try takin your own fuckin advice.<br \/>\nIf you can&#8217;t even do that, why are you dispensing it?!? As a Gervais fan, he&#8217;s<br \/>\nusing the only lens he has available right now&#8230;and it&#8217;s about as\u00c2\u00a0relatable as<br \/>\nMonty Burns on steroids. The Title of his show is what he clearly lacks most<br \/>\ntoday&#8230;&#8230;and it&#8217;s the most Elemental\u00c2\u00a0ingredient in ANY great comedy today<\/p>\n<p>If you watch it, you were warned. It&#8217;s just not as<\/p>\n<p>good as His Earlier Work, Period.
