Comedy Special by Ricky Gervais was pretty funny. Reviewers hated it. Viewers loved it.

Overview[edit | edit source]
He's a no sacred cows commedian, but not mean spirited. More witty and observational than just a shock jock. And he insults everything. Men, women, trans. Himself. Left, right, center. He loves animals, and makes fun of them too. He's an old styly lefty that is both a "Liberal" (sometimes stupidly so), but is definitely not a fan of #metoo/cancel culture and bullying killing comedy.
I can laugh at things I agree with, or disagree with. And he's that kind of guy and shares as much. He'd insult his mum for the joke. And he seems like a hell of a guy to raise a pint with... if you don't mind occasionally blowing beer our your nose.
So this probably wasn't the best comedy special of the year I'll see. But it was definitely not near the bottom. And it was worth the price of admission.
Film Critics[edit source]
If you want to see leftist bias in media, you just have to look at all the examples of how far off from their reviewers are from their viewers. I use the spread as a predictor of whether I'll like a film. Big spread with audience over critics? I'm going to like it. But big spread with critics over audience? I'll usually side with audience.
Tatometer | Summary |
---|---|
SuperNature - Of course lefty reviewers hated it and gave it a 14% approval. And the audience score? 92%. I was with the audience. The criticism were that he wasn't funny. Bullshit. He was funnier than left wing late night commedians, and they love them. It was that he attacked woke haters, by mocking them more than trans people. (His barbs at trans were usually barbs at woke/cancel culture around Trans). |
