Creator / Ricky Gervais

Ricky holding a golden globe.

"If I had a nickel for every time Ricky Gervais showed up in my dream, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

Richard Dene Gervais is a Bri*ish comedian and actor. He's mostly famous for writing famous britcoms like The Office and Extras, and for having a red-colored name on Shinigami Eyes. He also keeps showing up in my dreams for some fucking reason???

It's not like I'm even a huge fan of Ricky Gervais or anything like that. I mean, I really like his early work with Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington. I could care less for his later stuff, though. A modern Ricky Gervais bit usually has one of these things:

Complaining About Woke: Like many other unfunny stand-up comedians, Gervais has become obsessed with being as edgy as possible and hating on "political correctness".
Reddit Atheism: Gervais is a vocal atheist, and he likes to shoehorn in a joke about how religious beliefs (usually Christianity) are stupid whenever he can. I get that prides himself on being edgy, but dunking on religion kinda feels like low-hanging fruit when you're from the fucking UK, which is more than 50% atheist. If he really wants to offend people, he should become a tradcath.
Animals: Gervais is really big on animal rights, and has partnered with PETA.
"Cunt": He likes to use this word in lieu of a punchline.

He was also in an obscure new-wave band called Seona Dancing. It became really famous in the Philipines, but absolutely nowhere else for some reason. If you want to mess with your friends' heads, make them listen to one of their songs and ask them to guess who the singer is.
