Gervais' stage persona is based around saying stuff that crosses the line. It's cringe comedy, based around the fact that sometimes, it's funny to hear someone say the things you should never, ever say. You might even say it's cathartic. I wouldn't be surprised if he deliberately made the joke because he knew it would offend people, just like when he made jokes about racism and disability. The only difference here is that the trans community and its allies include in their number a lot of people who believe that transgender people are this sacred cow that cannot be treated with anything other than immaculate adoration.

I don't even like Gervais' comedy, but I hope he doesn't apologise for this.

He seems steadfast thus far. I'm curious to see whether he'll fold and apologize like he did several years back over his use of the term "mong."

Comics shouldn't be apologizing for their routines. Those comments though... What a bunch of babies with wet diapers.

tranny bringin the bants. i love it when liberals eat their own. i hope they do destroy his career.

When in the hell has Rocky Gervais ever been politically correct? I see a bunch of you saying “this is what he gets!” but his whole standup career was based on making fun of fat people for years.

Is apologizing for using the word “Mong” really what gets you labeled as an SJW?

He might be a liberal but labeling him as some sort of SJW is pretty ridiculous. His comedy (standup at least) has always been intentionally offensive

I hope he stands his ground. We need more un-PC liberals who won't crumble under SJW's reeeeeeeing over not treating issues with kid gloves.

New wave SJWs were still in diapers back then so they weren't around to bitch about his routine. Just having their sippy cups taken away.

You see, I'm a transgender stand-up comic, and not one of these jokes is funny. Oh, not because they're offensive to my delicate she-male sensibilities, but because they're hack garbage.


Netflix, if you insist on giving shows to comedians who are gonna tell jokes about transgender people and complain about Twitter, at least hire them a transgender comedian to punch up the material before you book the theater. Or maybe, crazy idea, book a transgender comedian who can tell original jokes about trans people without the only positive review of the show coming from Breitbart. (Netflix, contact me for sample videos and availability. Yes, I will work for scale.)

Oh, and those of you who are going to say to me that I'm a nobody comedian and who am I to judge what good stand-up comedy is, I got one simple answer for you: I know what a good joke is when I'm supposed to be the punch line.

The author definitely sounds like they're a nobody comedian who is jealous of a certain someone's success if I'm going by this butthurt article they typed up.

But trans comedians aren’t funny. All they ever joke about is being trans or being a woman. At best, their trans status is a gimmick, at worst their jokes are unrelatable. They’re not funny because all their jokes are tailored to an easy audience of fellow trans people and allies who will laugh purely out of solidarity. See Jen Durbent for a fine example of what I’m talking about.

Jim Norton (actual stand up comedian) turns his private life about banging trans prostitutes into a good joke. This bitch right here just brings up being a trans comedian and nothing else. How to tell a real comedian from a fake one who is using this to get attention.
