3. It’s a compelling argument.
You shouldn’t be allowed to own a smart phone that’s actually smarter than you are.

4. He may have changed a little over the years.
5. Ricky loves a good throwback.
6. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wish I had a pound for every time I offended someone. Wait, I do.

7. When he visited Amsterdam, he had to show off some souvenirs…
8. He’s not afraid to point out hypocrisy.
All these fucking hypocrites celebrating Boxing Day who aren’t even boxers. #disgusted

9. His love for animals doesn’t get in the way of his sense of humor.
Dogs can detect cancer by sense of smell and predict a seizure before the sufferer knows they're going to have one. On the other hand they also try to chase their own tail sometimes.

10. And finally, some good old Gervais family wisdom.
As my old nan used to say "If you haven't got anything nice to say, then fuck off & be a cunt somewhere else." Wise words nan. Wise words.
