Funniest joke Ricky made on the xfm

I know we’re hating on Ricky a lot now (which I partake in) but i think we can all agree that Ricky was integral to the RSK dynamic. But I was thinking the other day, I can think of a load of times merchant made me laugh and too many karl did. But when did Ricky, independent of the others make you laugh?

Do you think Ricky is embarrassed by his current standing?

I always felt the even at his best, during the early years, Ricky’s two worst traits were his ego and his pretentiousness snobbery. His early success with the office and extras (reflected? Worked in favour?) of these traits. He won awards and was plauded but more than that, it was the right people who liked his comedy. He was accepted into critical and highbrow society.

Clearly things have changed now. His shows have recieved average to even being critically panned. Despite this his new audience love his shows and he gets massive viewing figures. But i feel like old Ricky would have hated this new fanbase and looked down on them, thinking he’s too clever. His audience is now the wrong people.

I guess what I wonder is, do you think Ricky would trade a show like afterlife for making one more comedy that is critically acclaimed, even if it doesn’t get great viewing figures?

Anyway, here’s a rockbuster “I showed my cat my stone collection, he then meowed and threw up. What’s happening there then? R.M.”

Has anyone noticed it's not actually called "Alley Cats". It's officially listed as "Ricky Gervais Alley Cats". Weird innit

Ricky Gervais Alley Cats

Ricky Gervais Alley Cats is officially out of the Netflix top 10 in the UK. In 12 days. TWELVE DAYS!!

If this gets a second series, it'll be the biggest insult to actual comedy since Pramface getting 3 series!!

Let's just forget this happened!

Looks like most people already have!!

Remember the better times like After Life and Derek! 💪🏻

IN THE BIN!!!!!!

Have you ever seen a Glass Frog?

Incredible TransparencyGlass frogs are unique vertebrates capable of becoming up to 60% more transparent while they sleep. During the day, they hide their colored red blood cells by packing almost 90% of them away in their liver, making their bodies nearly invisible against bright green leaves.

(Hated Trope) A character, or maybe even an entire show, that only exists so the creator can live out their own personal power fantasy

After Life - Ricky Gervais plays a rude, obnoxious person (Tony) that constantly makes everyone's lives worse, yet is told by every character how amazing and nice he is at every opportunity, despite him being awful all the time. The character just walks around giving Ricky's personal opinions, often completely unrelated to anything else in the show, and he always comes out on top of every situation or argument.

Alley Cats - Ricky Gervais again plays a rude, obnoxious person cat that has essentially no redeeming qualities, yet is a beloved leader of the pack who everyone constantly says is brilliant for no discernible reason. His character (Gus) is also just an animated mouthpiece for him to say whatever random opinions he has, no matter how unrelated to the show they are. Again, always "wins" every argument or conflict he is involved in.
