"Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right." - Ricky Gervais, 2018

Words to live by, friends. Words to live by.

[entertainus]

"people get offended when they mistake the subject of a joke with the target".

this explains what I've been attempting to put into words for years, so damn eloquently.

[matteuscastrum]

"Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right!"
Finally!!!

"I think honesty is funny." So true.

I love how Ricky Gervais doesn't bother dressing up for interviews.

[plexpopper]

They'd never let him host. And not because he'd make offensive jokes about #metoo, because he'd call out everyone in the room for being hypocrites.

Ricky Gervais is one of Colbert's best guests because they have really good chemistry. Plus Ricky Gervais is just an awesome comedian with the best sense of humor!

Who else is on a Ricky Gervais binge after finding out he’s hosting the Golden Globes again!!?

[NicoVeenkamp]

Ricky, the ultimate unfiltered comedian. Great guy.

[elonthebass]

Ricky is such a lovable guy. He’s so open. A rarity these days.

I've probably said this multiple times in various comment sections, but Ricky Gervais has to be one of the best talkshow guests.

[CookiiMo]

I love it when they make each other laugh.

[jackwarren]

"Grease the sides and throw in a cookie" 😂😂😂

[cheesecakelasagna]

I know it's been quoted here so many times but I just want to get it cemented in my head:

*"Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right."*

“Your President is offended by equality.” Damn
