Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant co-wrote the original UK The office. Check out learn English with Ricky Gervais. You won't be disappointed thank you for your reaction.
Sophie’s Choice was a famous Meryl Streep movie in which she portrays a Jewish woman in WWII who has to choose between her two sons which to survive and which will ultimately die. An absolutely gut-wrenching must-see.
For Context: Felicity Huffman was the actress caught up in the college scandal The father who was in "Wild Hogs" is William H Macy Ronin Farrow is the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen and an investigative journalist that exposed Harvey Weinstein and founder of the Me Too movement The steroid thing was aiming at Robert Downey Jnr, The Rock, Jason Mamoa, etc. Sophie's Choice was a Merryl Streep movie about the abortion issue When at the end he mentioned "donate to Australia" was because Australia was going through severe bushfires at the time before COVID hit
Sophie's Choice was about WWII and the Nazi death camps. They forced her to choose which of her two children would be gassed and which one would live. It's told in retrospect. Abortion didn't come into it.
Sophie's Choice was not about abortion, it was about a woman in a concentration camp during WW 2. She had two children and was forced to give one of them up so she had to make a choice of which child to keep and which one would be sent to a children's camp to be re-educated by the NAZI's . Most likely she would never see him again as he would most likely be killed.
Ricky Gervais's character in the UK version of the 'Office' I rate among the Greatest comedy characters ever to come out of the UK. A genuinely proper funny genius of a chapter that I never get sick of watching! Same league as Monty Python. David I salute you o7!
Ronan Farrow is a journalist and the son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow. He was hugely influential in bringing to light the sexual scandals involving Harvey Weinstein as well as others in the movie industry.
I love that so many of the jokes are "in" jokes that TV audiences might not even get, but everyone in that room gets. He is trolling them so hard, the viewers aren't even the point anymore.
I'm a jervay fan because of what you just said.He has no problem, stepping over the line, but he does it in an intelligent way.And he's so well spoken.He's still very careful with his words and ruthless.Is a smart dude
Two series, plus the two Christmas special to finish it off. He always said he did two series, because John Cleese only did two series of Fawlty Towers and called it a day.
He did a show for the bbc called extras . Excellent series and some of the actors appeared in the i.e De nero and Johnie Depp the late Dabid Bowie singing Little fat man . Very good seies
Your question early on... I'm a middle aged white man and have always cringed a bit at "African American." I say "black" because it doesn't have all of the subtexts of those other terms. Those terms change so often. Negroes. Coloreds. African Americans. People of Color. Etc. I would like to hear what term y'all are most comfortable with. An interesting diversion, but we know why Native Americans/Indigenous people were called "Indians" because the European colonialists thought they had arrived in India. Yet in 2024, many Native Americans embrace the term "Indian." In the end, I will use whatever term seems most respectful to you. I just know that my black friends say "black", just as I am "white." It seems simple, direct, doesn't have weird subtexts that get dated real quick. Yes we're all the same underneath our skin, but we've always used descriptors. Hair color (redhead/ginger), height, size, etc. Why ignore that we all look different? Recognizing differences in appearance is not the same as judging people or having biases.
Just watched a couple of your vids and subbed mate👍this Gervais monologue will be played for a very long tine I think,we're still watching it now four years later and it never gets old. Nice one buddy,going to go through the rest your playlist,peace✌️from a small island off the UK calked the isle of Wight(pronounced white,but it's nothing racial🤣)
felicity huffman is a fairly famous actress who got caught bribing her kids into famous universities....I think she got jailtime, thus the license plate joke.
Her husband is the actor William H Macy who starred in Wild Hogs alongside Tim Allen, John Travolta and Martin Lawrence. Huffman was jailed for a couple of weeks and fined for paying to fake her daughter's SAT scores to get her in to a top university. She was one of many rich people who got caught for having paid for ways to get their kids into elite colleges.
Not one of these reactors have a clue what's going on In their own country. Not one I have seen gets that joke and have no idea who she is. I'm from Norway and I know 😂
@@viking_nor That's a bit harsh. Most Americans don't keep up with pop culture. It's probably more popular globally than nationally. Norway has the population of Alabama. While the USA is a country. It is more similar to the EU in practice. Go make your own pop culture. Nordic films are some of my favorite. I don't think I've seen a Nordic comedian. Do you have any recommendations?
Is it a coincidence I randomly looked up reactions to this video and you recently did it and popped up. I did have a shit day and I appreciate your reaction.
I grew up in DC and we just said "Black" if we had to. Of course that was the 80's and 90's. I was called "White", so it just made sense. Wasn't in a negative way.
"People of Color" includes more than African Americans so when he says that he's not just referring to African Americans being snubbed. He's pointing out that African Americans, Native Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Indians, Latin Americans etc. were under-represented in the nominations.
I'm checking in from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Because I'm from outside of the USA I simply call everyone from America American. Just the same as anyone from England is English and so on. I don't use different terms for different skin tones. I'm fairly certain that's an odd thing only Americans do 😅
He's the original creator of the office and is the only reason why the office ever came to the United States and he also helped produce direct and write that when I'm pretty sure like most of all of it was like written by him, it's Ricky gurvey's comedy is.The office
When I was born I was black When I was sad I was black When I was hot I was black When I was sick I was black When I was scared I was black When you was born you was pink When you was sad you was blue When you was hot you was red When you was sick you was green When you was scared you was yellow And you call me colored Agra Gra In my lifetime I we have gone from negro, to colored, to african american, to black, to people of color. Isn't it time we recognize people as individuals? After all - E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one)
Speaking of The Office, the British version is hilarious 😂 Ricky Gervais' character inspired Michael Scott on the American version..also hilarious 😂 I love Ricky's style of humor and The Office is my favorite show. Both versions
@@jeanine6328 and? that was epic, don't get me wrong. let's hear something towards black public, I'm sure black people can be assholes, too. or about ruzzia lover Rogan and his slaveowner friend Dana.
People of colour is the same as coloured people,it's racist because it means you're not white so you're not the same as us,I'm white so I will always say black or brown or whatever,not that we should even be be saying what colour people are,unless you're describing someone to the police so they know what colour the person they're searching for
Black. I don’t refer to myself as European American, nor does any other race of people, such as Asian American, Puerto Rican American, Mexican American etc. what people don’t realize is it’s a way to segregate yourself. If you’re an American citizen you’re an American, period. “People of color” actually relates to anyone who’s not white. Caucasians are generally addressed as simply white. Growing up, no one had an issue with being referenced as white, black, Asian, Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc. They were proud of their heritage, but respected their country of natural or acquired citizenship.
Real talk Rich, the thing with Kevin Hart was a couple years ago? A lot has happened since then. Maybe that was a warning to Kevin like “Keep it cool Kevin, wanna see if you can behave”…. 🤷🏻♂️🙏✌️
Saying African American seems really fcked to me as an Australian. First being American relates to anyone from the Americas, North, South or Central, and second why divide your population so much? Either you are from the USA or not. To me Australians are Australians. Black white or any other colour. Why not just be American 🤷♀️
everyone calls us white even though we're some random shade of pink. black seems normal to me because white doesn't bother me in any way. i wouldn't expect black to bother anyone for any reason unless it's purely political because it is being used in exactly the same context as "white".
Even though I'm white and didn't grow up in that particular time, the word "colored" always reminds me of the Jim Crow era every time I hear it. In fact, saying "colored" almost appears as disrespectful as saying the word "n***er". To me, calling a black person "black" just seems natural because it's a descriptor just like "white" is for me. As for "African American", that word has never made any sense to me as well, either you're American or you're not. My favorite Al Pachino/Robert DeNiro movie is HEAT. BTW an absolutely hilarious Tom Segura bit for you to watch would be " 69ing is overrated", I was crying the first time I heard it.
Great reaction, thank you... in answer to your question, i'm not keen on the term people of colour. Like someone else said, this seems to change so often and now, black and people of colour i've heard in the same news report for example, interchangeable.. we are after all mostly different shades of brown.. i'm told i'm Olive skinned, who knows.. maybe we should use a scale like you get in steak restaurants for the doneness level🙂.. Not sure why the terms like African American exists, do we have English American, Irish, French.. why pigeon hole everything, anyway i'm waffling on.. sorry, as someone else asked, be interested in your option on all this also.. thanks again, love watching your reactions..
Great comedians are modern day philosophers., we NEED them. All time favorite Pacino film is Carlito's Way "you think you're big time, you're gonna F die big time". I feel like "black" is more acceptable if you're going to speak on your fellow humans by their skin color. Cheers to you friend for your reactions & commentary.
I always say black Americans because white people do exist in Africa so technically they could be actual African Americans. I don’t know if that’s wrong but it’s always felt the most logical. Shit in reality we are just Americans man, this country is so diverse it’s amazing.
Remember the time frame for this ... the Golden Globes airs in January and this was January 2020 ... in less than two months from the date of this broadcast the ENTIRE WORLD is going to be in full panic mode over a once in a century deadly worldwide pandemic ... so his opening comment about "they're just jokes ... nobody's going to die" has a COMPLETELY different context now than it did on that night in January 2020.
The "people of colour" thing literally only bothers me because you only have to say the word people. Because literally EVERYONE is a person of one colour or another.
Al Pacino, Sent of a Woman is a great film. Dinero, Analyze This and Analyze That. I think because it was the first time I’d seen him in a comedy and he was hilarious!
*Ronan Farrow (journalist), son of Mia Farrow (prolific actress) and Woody Allen (famous director). Allen who has been accused of tampering with his children and marrying his adopted daughter. *Felicity Huffman (actress) was convicted, I think, of fraud for scamming to get her daughter into one of the Ivy league schools. *Sophie's Choice, a 70's movie (based on a book I think) based on a woman who survived the Holocaust comes to America and develops relationships with these two guys. This was one of the movies that put Meryl Streep on the map. She's known for playing a lot of roles with varying accents. She tends to transform in every role she plays, which is why she's favored by hollywood. *Prince Andrew has been accused of going to Epstein's Island on a regular basis by at least one accuser. Leo DiCaprio has a reputation for having girlfriends years younger than he is and he never marries. Essentially a playboy. Possibly another Epstein Island attendee. And, btw, "people or person of color" isn't just about "black" or "african" american people. The way Ricky is using it, he means "non-white" people. So if people of color isn't the appropriate term, what term would you think is more appropriate?
That year, before the awards, people were criticizing a lot of the nominees were white. And Jada and Will had just chastised the Oscars for not giving him an Oscar that year. That was the reason for the race jokes.
Yeah, Ricky wrote the original office on which the US version was based and my inclination is to the think him a wanker - mainly because he did comedy specials without ever being a standup. I also remember him on early 2000's UK channel 4 show the '11 o'clock show' - from which Ali G emerged. He was in the music industry before that managing 'Suede' in their early days. I want to hate his guy, but I have to admit that on his day he's pretty bloody good. Nice reaction. x
Ricky Gervais *IS* The Office! He made the UK original with Stephen Merchant. Merchant is that lanky, gangly geezer who looks like a praying mantis who never prayed hard enough. The US version of The Office is probably excellent, but it's derived from the UK original.
im a big fan of old ricky. new ricky is literally just a pissed-off old man, where back then he was ALWAYS smiling and laughing while ripping into people.
Can you do me a FREE favor? Subscribe to my new channel dedicated to JUST COMEDY! would you mind adding yourself to that channel also? youtube.com/@richhousecomedy?si=PaIG39KirwK4nwk-
Need! I always try to find the funny in everything. Felicity Huffman is the wife of William H. Macy (Shameless, Wild Hoggs---Red headed actor) and starred most recently in the tv series with Eva Longoria 20 years ago called Desperate Housewives. She and Lori Laughlin (Full House) were caught in a bribing scandal with their kids getting degrees from college in exchange for money and favors. She went to prison.
If I had to choose, I would say black instead of the others. Black people in Canada or England are not African Americans, so it is awkward to apply. As long as there is no negative conatation given with it, it is just a descriptive adjective like BIG car, or ORANGE cat, Red and Yellow leaves. Just a more specific category of adjective to describe something.
I love that he basically called them all a bunch of rich, racist, serial assaulters. Even Tom Hanks looked like a dingleberry after this. The only people who came out looking good after this show were the guys at the Italian table. DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci and Scorsese. They laughed hysterically at the jokes. Even Leonardo DiCaprio took the jokes well. Jane Seymour after the show defended Ricky, saying everyone was being satirized, and anyone who was individually offended either had something to hide or couldn't take a joke. Good for Dr. Quinn, or Solitare from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. She was hot when she was young. PS - Ronan Farrow was the journalist who outed Weinstein and the Hollywood perverts.
"People of colour" vs "African American" vs "Black": there are a lot of black people who aren't American and a lot of people who aren't black (in the current sense of the word) or white and also are American, and lots who aren't. People of Indian, Arab, North African, Central and South American, Chinese, Turkic etc. etc. USA is divided in the starkest ways by race while being very much less racially diverse and complex than many nations in Europe, North Africa and the Levant, the Arab world and so on. So I think his use of "people of colour" is fine. He's acknowledging global reality, and this is the golden *globes*.
Just for future reference, in case there's any UK stuff you react to in the future. The slang term we have for a female's private parts is 'minge.' Not 'ninge.'
For me people saying afircan american is pure racism. Just cuz your black dont mean your from africa a man from the carribean being called a african American is just racist
I will NEVER use the term of "AFRICAN AMERICAN" I can not think of anything that would offend me more than if people would call me German American, I would be ready to fight, I am an AMERICAN period, no one needs to be separated by a hyphenated label denoting what portion of the planet that their ancestors came from, I know that I would never tolerate it, and I would never inflict that on ANYONE ELSE, so I do not know about everyone else, but I will always call you an AMERICAN, I do hope that does not offend you, but I do not call any of my black friends "AFRICAN AMERICAN" and they do not call me "GERMAN AMERICAN" and we do not call any of our Latino friends "MEXICAN AMERICAN" or whatever country they came from, I am not down with the division of Americans along any lines whatsoever, and I refuse to participate in any of that crap!
African-American kind of rules out anyone not located in the USA though... also People of Color to me seems more inclusive since it also includes other cultures. So I think what he said was just fine. The original UK version of The Office was created, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
I believe the phrase "people/person of color" is inherently racist towards white people. Scientifically, everyone has melanin in their skin, which gives it color, including white people. While the term "POC" is used to highlight the sociopolitical experiences of non-white individuals who face systemic discrimination, it's important to recognize that oppression can affect people of all backgrounds. For instance, Jews, many of whom are white, faced severe oppression and were killed during World War II. Individuals with disabilities, regardless of race, also experience discrimination. A perfect example is my situation: I'm a white man with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and I have been turned down for jobs just because of these disabilities. In one instance, even when the employer said I got the job during the interview, once I mentioned I have seizures, they said, "Never mind, but thanks for your time." Doesn't that make me oppressed? In certain contexts, such as sports or academics, white individuals might feel disadvantaged compared to other groups, with black people being better represented in sports like football and basketball, and Asians excelling in education. Thus, the term "POC" can oversimplify and overlook the complexities of discrimination and oppression experienced by people from various backgrounds.
The man is a treasure, the disdain in his delivery through the entire night is palpable!....LOL
Bro this whole bit is one of my favorite pieces of comedy in existence. I've seen it about 50 11 times now lol.

Be sure to check out Ricky on “Meet Karl Pilkington” 1-2. You’ll enjoy for sure, funny 😂 enjoy the ride peace from England
Great reaction, thank you... in answer to your question, i'm not keen on the term people of colour. Like someone else said, this seems to change so often and now, black and people of colour i've heard in the same news report for example, interchangeable.. we are after all mostly different shades of brown.. i'm told i'm Olive skinned, who knows.. maybe we should use a scale like you get in steak restaurants for the doneness level🙂.. Not sure why the terms like African American exists, do we have English American, Irish, French.. why pigeon hole everything, anyway i'm waffling on.. sorry, as someone else asked, be interested in your option on all this also.. thanks again, love watching your reactions..
NEEEEEED
Great comedians are modern day philosophers., we NEED them. All time favorite Pacino film is Carlito's Way "you think you're big time, you're gonna F die big time". I feel like "black" is more acceptable if you're going to speak on your fellow humans by their skin color. Cheers to you friend for your reactions & commentary.
I always say black Americans because white people do exist in Africa so technically they could be actual African Americans. I don’t know if that’s wrong but it’s always felt the most logical. Shit in reality we are just Americans man, this country is so diverse it’s amazing.
Remember the time frame for this ... the Golden Globes airs in January and this was January 2020 ... in less than two months from the date of this broadcast the ENTIRE WORLD is going to be in full panic mode over a once in a century deadly worldwide pandemic ... so his opening comment about "they're just jokes ... nobody's going to die" has a COMPLETELY different context now than it did on that night in January 2020.
People of color can be other people beside black people. There are brown, yellow and red people as well. There may even be others I'm not aware of.
its basically everyone but white people , and that is the aim of it
The "people of colour" thing literally only bothers me because you only have to say the word people. Because literally EVERYONE is a person of one colour or another.
Al Pacino, Sent of a Woman is a great film.
Dinero, Analyze This and Analyze That. I think because it was the first time I’d seen him in a comedy and he was hilarious!
*Ronan Farrow (journalist), son of Mia Farrow (prolific actress) and Woody Allen (famous director). Allen who has been accused of tampering with his children and marrying his adopted daughter.
*Felicity Huffman (actress) was convicted, I think, of fraud for scamming to get her daughter into one of the Ivy league schools.
*Sophie's Choice, a 70's movie (based on a book I think) based on a woman who survived the Holocaust comes to America and develops relationships with these two guys. This was one of the movies that put Meryl Streep on the map. She's known for playing a lot of roles with varying accents. She tends to transform in every role she plays, which is why she's favored by hollywood.
*Prince Andrew has been accused of going to Epstein's Island on a regular basis by at least one accuser.
Leo DiCaprio has a reputation for having girlfriends years younger than he is and he never marries. Essentially a playboy. Possibly another Epstein Island attendee.
And, btw, "people or person of color" isn't just about "black" or "african" american people. The way Ricky is using it, he means "non-white" people. So if people of color isn't the appropriate term, what term would you think is more appropriate?
Half the people in that room are worried about what hopefully will come out soon. Especially Hanks
That year, before the awards, people were criticizing a lot of the nominees were white. And Jada and Will had just chastised the Oscars for not giving him an Oscar that year. That was the reason for the race jokes.
Yeah, Ricky wrote the original office on which the US version was based and my inclination is to the think him a wanker - mainly because he did comedy specials without ever being a standup. I also remember him on early 2000's UK channel 4 show the '11 o'clock show' - from which Ali G emerged. He was in the music industry before that managing 'Suede' in their early days. I want to hate his guy, but I have to admit that on his day he's pretty bloody good.
Nice reaction. x
Ricky Gervais *IS* The Office! He made the UK original with Stephen Merchant. Merchant is that lanky, gangly geezer who looks like a praying mantis who never prayed hard enough. The US version of The Office is probably excellent, but it's derived from the UK original.
im a big fan of old ricky. new ricky is literally just a pissed-off old man, where back then he was ALWAYS smiling and laughing while ripping into people.
People of color isn’t strictly about black folks. It’s basically used for anybody that isn’t white.

Need! I always try to find the funny in everything. Felicity Huffman is the wife of William H. Macy (Shameless, Wild Hoggs---Red headed actor) and starred most recently in the tv series with Eva Longoria 20 years ago called Desperate Housewives. She and Lori Laughlin (Full House) were caught in a bribing scandal with their kids getting degrees from college in exchange for money and favors. She went to prison.
If I had to choose, I would say black instead of the others. Black people in Canada or England are not African Americans, so it is awkward to apply. As long as there is no negative conatation given with it, it is just a descriptive adjective like BIG car, or ORANGE cat, Red and Yellow leaves. Just a more specific category of adjective to describe something.
Gangs of new york my favorite Scorsese movie. Check out a guy called steve hughs, he does a bit called offended... its top 👌
I love that he basically called them all a bunch of rich, racist, serial assaulters. Even Tom Hanks looked like a dingleberry after this. The only people who came out looking good after this show were the guys at the Italian table. DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci and Scorsese. They laughed hysterically at the jokes. Even Leonardo DiCaprio took the jokes well. Jane Seymour after the show defended Ricky, saying everyone was being satirized, and anyone who was individually offended either had something to hide or couldn't take a joke. Good for Dr. Quinn, or Solitare from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. She was hot when she was young. PS - Ronan Farrow was the journalist who outed Weinstein and the Hollywood perverts.
"People of colour" vs "African American" vs "Black": there are a lot of black people who aren't American and a lot of people who aren't black (in the current sense of the word) or white and also are American, and lots who aren't. People of Indian, Arab, North African, Central and South American, Chinese, Turkic etc. etc. USA is divided in the starkest ways by race while being very much less racially diverse and complex than many nations in Europe, North Africa and the Levant, the Arab world and so on. So I think his use of "people of colour" is fine. He's acknowledging global reality, and this is the golden *globes*.
More respectable IMO is just saying Black. Love Ricky tho
Just for future reference, in case there's any UK stuff you react to in the future. The slang term we have for a female's private parts is 'minge.' Not 'ninge.'
For me people saying afircan american is pure racism. Just cuz your black dont mean your from africa a man from the carribean being called a african American is just racist
A view from UK: we're not sure who Kevin Hart is. People say it's a small world but it's still pretty big.
I think the POC bit was because the awards ignored everyone who wasn’t white, not just black people.
You should watch learn english with, Ricky Gervais. Funny as fuck.
I will NEVER use the term of "AFRICAN AMERICAN" I can not think of anything that would offend me more than if people would call me German American, I would be ready to fight, I am an AMERICAN period, no one needs to be separated by a hyphenated label denoting what portion of the planet that their ancestors came from, I know that I would never tolerate it, and I would never inflict that on ANYONE ELSE, so I do not know about everyone else, but I will always call you an AMERICAN, I do hope that does not offend you, but I do not call any of my black friends "AFRICAN AMERICAN" and they do not call me "GERMAN AMERICAN" and we do not call any of our Latino friends "MEXICAN AMERICAN" or whatever country they came from, I am not down with the division of Americans along any lines whatsoever, and I refuse to participate in any of that crap!
"People of color" seems appropriate as it covers anyone who isn't white. Which is MANY people across the globe.
People is the only right term, or humans. Why does there have to he labels. We are all the same colour on the inside, we all bleed red.
@@ianfinney7820 There was a specific question about what the right term is and there were 2 choices. I picked one.
@@66.6FMRadio and they are all ridiculous.
African-American kind of rules out anyone not located in the USA though... also People of Color to me seems more inclusive since it also includes other cultures. So I think what he said was just fine.
The original UK version of The Office was created, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
POC is an entirely exclusionary term , and that is its entire aim , its basically anyone but white
I believe the phrase "people/person of color" is inherently racist towards white people. Scientifically, everyone has melanin in their skin, which gives it color, including white people.
While the term "POC" is used to highlight the sociopolitical experiences of non-white individuals who face systemic discrimination, it's important to recognize that oppression can affect people of all backgrounds. For instance, Jews, many of whom are white, faced severe oppression and were killed during World War II. Individuals with disabilities, regardless of race, also experience discrimination. A perfect example is my situation: I'm a white man with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and I have been turned down for jobs just because of these disabilities. In one instance, even when the employer said I got the job during the interview, once I mentioned I have seizures, they said, "Never mind, but thanks for your time." Doesn't that make me oppressed?
In certain contexts, such as sports or academics, white individuals might feel disadvantaged compared to other groups, with black people being better represented in sports like football and basketball, and Asians excelling in education. Thus, the term "POC" can oversimplify and overlook the complexities of discrimination and oppression experienced by people from various backgrounds.
