Catch Ricky Gervais in his latest standup special Supernature on Netflix later this month

Ricky Gervais Makes a Subtle “Sexist” Joke as an Irony in the Netflix Promo of His Second Standup Special ‘SuperNature’

There are only a handful of comedians that can play around with dark humor as
beautifully and effectively as Ricky Gervais does. And it looks like the British
comedian is once again on a mission to prove exactly that. Following the immense
success of his first Netflix special, Ricky Gervais: Humanity, he is coming back
with another special this May.

The special is titled, Ricky Gervais: Supernature and will feature the comedian
talking about the rules of comedy. Along with the announcement of the comedy
special, a short clip was shared as well. In the clip we see Gervais talk about
irony while using some classic sexism to explain it to the audience. Here is
everything that you need to know about the special and the promo clip.


RICKY GERVAIS AND HIS USE OF SEXISM TO ELABORATE IRONY

The premise of the special, SuperNature is basically Gervais trying to elaborate
the rules of comedy for us. And irony, being one of the primary tools for
comedy, is a topic he touches upon. The one thing he teaches about irony is
that, when one has to be funny, they say or instigate things and the audience
laughs at those things because they know what the right thing is.



He says how there are so many female comedians who are funny. But at the very
next moment, instead of taking the names of a few of his contemporaries like
Tiffany Haddish, Ali Wong, or Kate McKinnon, he just goes blank in front of the
crowd. Thus using irony to get a laugh from the audience.

The special will see Gervais talk about a lot of other things as well. He talks
about his cat and how he spoils it and smashes the supernatural. The Office star
believes that nature is super enough. This comedy special is releasing following
Ricky Gervais’ tour of the same name. It would be really interesting to see
Gervais once again in action.
