More talent than the next five comedians combined, but this guy is really at his best when he is trying to connect with his audience, rather than saying "see what a dick I am?" It's been awhile and I'm ready for this guy to be more than a shock jock. He has the kind of talent to go beyond the "see what a live wire I am--you thought I went far there? Look, I'll go even a little further before I grab a sip of beer," kind of standup. A lot of this is flat out hilarious--but he doesn't break any new ground

Spot on great. If you are tired of the last 4 or five years of safe pc garbage this will give you hope for the future. he doesn't care what offends. great!

4/5. On Netflix. Loved this one. Gervais's comedic persona is self-effacing (but not pathetic), razor sharp, and point blank--refreshing in this age of mind-numbing social media narcissism and twisting of political correctness.

After a seven year hiatus, Ricky Gervais returns with this dark stand-up special that contains a consistent amount of laughs, but its his casual conversation where he is uniquely insightful and brilliant that is the most enjoyable.

It made me laugh out loud.

then you're bulletproof..Ricky Gervais: HumanityAs anticipated, the brutality and darkness of the humor is at its peak with a hint of maturity that has always been present in it, is probably the reason why it might surpass the previous stand-up shows (but for me, Out Of England 2 will be the best). Ricky Gervais keeps the material flowing and smooth throughout the course of it and not making it come off as homework which is where it excels for despite it ticks for more than an hour, he sweeps away the runtime like a charm. As usual, the essence and the objective remain intact, on its varied topics that narrows it down to something more meaningful than was expected. Humanity may not be Ricky's best but it certainly is witty, raw and contrary to its premise, human.

I haven't laughed this much in ages.. ???????? Ricky Gervais isn't afraid to show his "human" side.. Very relatable but a little more thought provoking than MOST comedy specials. My husband and I both thoroughly ENJOYED every moment of Ricky's performance..?????

It's Ricky Gervais....so it's funny, because he is just funny. This was his most earnest stand up so far I think. It's almost like he's using this medium as a soundboard to justify to us why he made the jokes he has since his last stand up. You get the feeling that the things that he's talking about are a little too close to him for comfort and you do think that he's just pouring his heart out to us a bit. So less of a show.....and more of a kind of preaching session. But still some very funny jokes and references. Worth a watch.

There 's something frankly undignified about somebody as successful as him effectively going on stage for an hour and a half to whine about the mean things people say to him on the internet, but when Humanity hits the mark it hits it hard.

This feels like his most cohesive show to-date, the most consistently funny and most heart-on-sleeve.

It is a much better, less fragmented, more controlled show than Science, and it is such a pleasure to watch Gervais work.
