There are parts of that I generally couldn't breathe.
Hey guys, it's Amanda. In today's world, many things are seen to be offensive,
especially in comedy, which is why I love Ricky Gervais. Because he doesn't care about being
politically correct or offending people. I don't think anything is off limits with him.
Like, Ricky doesn't give a toss. He says what he wants and that's that.
Be offended or don't. It's your choice.
So today, I'm going to watch his skit on fat people.
You can imagine what we're in for.
And I needed people that they come to me now and they go,
oh, well, well done, you look great. But they weren't telling me I look terrible.
They're basically saying I look terrible. No one told me at the time it was really taboo.
I needed waiters to come over and go, **** off, you've had enough.
And I've been criticized in the past for having a go at fat people. I've never had a go at fat
people. I've only ever pointed out the fact that you get fat if you take in more calories than you
burn off. That's simple science. I don't judge them in any other aspect of their life. But
that's what happens. You get fat if you take in more calories than you burn off.
Okay. And that's indisputable. Okay. Now, the thing is, people think I'm having a go. I'm not.
Because I don't judge them. If I see a fat person, I don't make assumptions about him other
than how they got fat. And this is the other thing. No, wait, wait. Right. Not only is that what makes
you fat, people know that's what's making them fat. No one got fat behind their own back.
No one went, what the ****'s that? Okay. It's not a surprise. It's a gradual process. You have
loads of time to back out from this project. Also, no one's sneaking into thin people's
apartments and injecting their lettuce with a million calories. That doesn't happen. Okay.
They know what to do. If you go to a bloke and he's surrounded by cakes and pies, right? And you
go, you know what's making you fat, don't you? He doesn't go, is it all the running? He knows what
it is. I don't make judgments. Okay. Other than how they got fat. Okay. If I see a fat person,
I don't go, oh, he's fat. Therefore, he's jolly. Right. A lot of them are miserable, aren't they?
If I see a fat girl, I don't go, oh, she'd be pretty if she lost weight. That's rarely the case.
So don't fall for that. Okay. A lot of them started eating because they had **** all to lose.
So no, there's no stigma attached because people don't even want to use the word fat now because
I think it's derogatory. It's a real taboo subject. So they use euphemisms. They go,
oh, you know, Brenda, the big girl. What seven foot? No, no, not to what she looked like.
Brenda, you know, she's the one who's clammy even in winter.
Just say she's fat. Nothing wrong with it. It's their choice. It's up to you. If you want to be
fat, it's fine. They go, you know, Brenda, she's out of breath. Just standing up at her desk.
Even though it is their own fault and it is their own fault. I feel sorry for them. Right.
No, I do. Particularly, particularly fat women, because fat is a feminist issue.
Men get fat and we just go, **** it. All bought and paid for, you know.
We don't come under the same constraints of society. Whereas women are inundated with
images of how you should be. Size zero models. This diet, that diet. Look like this. Keep your
man. And they make such an effort. Don't they, fat girls? They've always got lovely hair. Aren't
they? They're always having their hair. They've always got lovely hair. Always got lovely hair.
Always got those lovely false nails. They make an effort. Anything but jogging.
They love high heels, don't they? They think it makes their legs look less.
You can just hear him coming now.
I don't want to be fat people to feel uncomfortable at one of my gigs.
So next time, buy two seats. I'm joking. I'm joking. Shut up. I'm not having a go.
I'm just pointing out, you know, I was listening to the radio in England a few weeks back,
Radio 4, quite highbrow. There was a discussion about political correctness.
My name came up straight away. Right. And shocking. There was this woman on there going,
oh, yeah, well, it's it's not right. Ricky Gervais, he makes jokes about fat people.
He wouldn't make jokes about gay people, would he? And being fat is like being gay.
What? No, it's not. You can't choose your sexuality. As we've established,
you choose whether to eat too much or not. You know, with your sexuality, you're born,
you grow up, you discover you like same sex relationships, and that's it. You're gay.
OK, for being gay to be the same as being fat, you'd have to be born, be straight,
grow up knowing you're straight, but gradually and consciously wean yourself on to cock.
Happy 16th birthday, son. This is Raoul. Suck his cock. Sorry, father. Suck his cock.
I'm heterosexual. Oh, with his newfangled words. Suck his cock. Come on. I don't like cock,
father. Doesn't like cock. How do you know if you've never tried it?
Suck his cock. Suck one cock. That's not sucking. That's playing with you. Put it in your mouth.
Have a go. You might like it. It's not so bad, is it? I ******* love these.
If that happened, then being gay would be the same as being fat. But it doesn't. So it's not, OK?
I was on a plane last year, OK, going from New York to L.A., OK? And me and my girlfriend were
one side of the plane. There was the aisle. And the other side, there were these two huge
fat women, OK? Proper, proper, proper fat. One of them just got on and went,
can I have a belt extension? Yeah, of course you can. You've earned it, right?
In fact, I was thinking of calling the pilot out and going, should one of us swap with one of them?
Otherwise, we're just going to Canada. Do you know what I mean?
And one of them was even fatter than the other one, OK? And she was there. And she got on the
plane with one of those takeaway buckets of fast food. Bucket. I mean, there's your first clue.
When did that happen? When did fat people just give up? When did they go into a shop and go,
oh, **** it. Just treat me like a farmyard animal. Really? Give me it in a bucket. In fact,
just strap it to my ******* head and I'll just... A bucket? Really? You want your meal in a bucket?
Yes. So she's there and she's chowing down, right? And I swear, she turns to her fat friend and says,
this is the best fried chicken I've had all day. But I'm not having a go. I'm not having a go. No,
I'm not. No, I'm not. Because even though it is their own fault, and it is their own fault,
I don't know if you know this about fat people. They ******* love cake.
They love it, right? And I blame the food industries. Because you go into a supermarket
and it's just packed with that stuff. Everything's packed with hydrogenated fats and
extra calories and sugar and butter and everything. And they love that, OK? And there's always a big
door, isn't there, to a supermarket? They've got a quadruple door, isn't it? No one's ever
been too fat to get through the door of a supermarket, OK? And it opens automatically,
so they don't have to waste calories pushing anything. And it's a good job it opens automatically,
because usually it's glass and they can see the pie from down the road and they're in like that.
Grazing, right? So I say, keep the big door. Keep the big door. Sure, keep the big door. Come on,
it's all fresh fruit and veg. It's all whole grain. It's all stuff that's good for you,
OK? Of course, they'll be confused at first. They go, well, that's not real food to them.
They think Brussels sprouts is packaging, right? They're looking, where's the cakes? Where's the
cakes? The cakes are over here. But the cakes are through a different door. But this door
is human-sized, OK? So now they go, there's the cakes. They go, oh, ****, I can't get in. I can't
get through the ******* door. And they're starving. I go, oh, God, what's this? I've
got to eat something. What's this, a banana? And they go, oh, no, I still can't. I can have a
carrot. They're back and forth for days. And the fat's falling off them. Soon they can slip through
the door and have a cake. They can't get out again. No, but I mean.
Oh, there are parts of that I generally couldn't breathe. He makes me laugh so much. I just,
I love that he kept saying, I'm not having a go. I'm not having a go. But then he was having a go.
But also, what I really like about Ricky is that a lot of what he says is based on facts.
He just says it how it is. Like, how can you argue with it? You can't. It's true. I hope he
never changes or bends to, like, the woke. Because I think he's such a breath of fresh air. Just
enjoy the comedy brilliance. Have a laugh. Move on. That's how it should be. That's how it was
before. And actually, thinking about it, I still have not watched his famous Hollywood roast.
I think that will be my next Ricky video. Because you've all told me how brutal it is.
