Ricky Gervais: Armageddon

Rated a Connor 10, normal 8.9

Truly fun, yes, many people will be offended, but they all missed the moral of the story. This was a very fun hour, and Ricky does exactly what Ricky does oh so well.

This is great, he smashed all that woke nonsense and such right to the point.

Such a lovely Christmas present! Not quite as good as his previous shows, but his satirical wit is still spot-on.
May Baby Jesus preserve this man as he is for a long time.

Good, but I always expect more from Ricky. He is adept at criticizing woke culture, extending beyond its borders, and making people self-censor themselves.

Solid, but still pretty safe. He's helping us get over the hill.

I love this dude, but some of the monologues were very violent. I was prepared for Ricky's humor, but I don't think everyone is going to like it.

I usually love the Ricky Gervais' specials, and find myself laughing constantly. I can't say this was the case here. I still enjoyed it and Ricky always makes me laugh. The subject matter as well is one that's ripe for picking, as I side with Ricky on a lot of the thoughts that he preaches. But ultimately this was average, with laughs few and far between.

Oh, Ricky. This is the weakest of your specials. Your last special was lackluster, but this one elevates it in comparison.

Much of this set seemed last minute and unpolished. You even opened with a tired non-apology about the content being new and untried. Typing of which, a great deal of try... hard took place during the brief run time.

During the special, you also crossed a few lines you've rarely crossed - into sad. As a fan, this was disheartening and disappointing. You can attempt to spin that, but you'd only be flinging s*** in a circle.

Memories of Ricky past carried some of the show, but it fizzled out. There's still funny to be found and some of the old charisma and charm remains. At least Ricky appeared to be having a laugh playing the naughty lad.

Not terrible (although some may think so). Not what some critics are saying (who clearly aren't that bright). Also, unfortunately, not that good. Some bad and cheap bits cast a shadow over the shiny parts. I hope there is another special and that it's better. Take your time. Perhaps when you're done working on other projects.

Not as good as previous specials, shame about all the woke stuff catering to the out of touch.
