The creator and star of "After Life" on Netflix, Ricky Gervais, doesn't think we need magical creatures like angels and unicorns because octopuses are "super enough." #Colbert #RickyGervais #LSSC

"The best thing about being dead is, you don't know about it. It's like being stupid, it's only painful for others." -Ricky Gervais 2k19
thats actually an old quote....im sure ricky heard it long ago as well
@@eduardoandres5989 Very very very old, and it disturbed me he doesn't seem to know it.
@@KingAlpaca he's also said it on this show before
@@superberniecat5042 every time
@@KingAlpaca Where's it from?
Stephen: What do you think happens after we die? Keanu: I know the people who love us will miss us Riki: It's only painful to others, lol

Swee Moe you’re a bundle of joy. Have a hug - you need it! And a big gay kiss xxx
I like how when Ricky gervais is on Colbert it always turns into an existential debate
asdabir Colbert was completely clueless
Ricky is a trolling expert and knows Stephen is religious. I love them both entirely and unconditionally btw.
Exactly
@@lepetitchat123 No, he wasn't, it was a good conversation, come on
@@lepetitchat123 nice username
He is committed to his fashion choice. I don’t think I saw him wearing anything other black T-shirt and jeans.
its a shirt. a t-shirt has sleeves
Its slimming
@@Deviant69 Huh?
@@Deviant69 nice try troll( or you are really stupid )
@@Deviant69 Actually, it may not be a t-shirt in the sense that the price tag is in the $300 range, and if you wander into a high end men's shop where they sell such absurdly priced items they often will not refer to them as t-shirts.
I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person. - Bill Murray
JudgeJeana ironically, Bill Murray is an asshole
@Explodingtraps - That is just a critique on all of humanity, which all things considered, is fair enough..
I understand the basic thought process, but try being me when I was in kindergarten being attacked by a dog that was bigger than me. I still like dogs but when one growls at me I’m always on edge and always will be. Obviously you didn’t take this type of situation into consideration because if you had you wouldn’t of made the statement.
Dogs don’t attack for no reason. You were the one that made them nervous enough to defend themselves from you.
It's meant to be a one-liner, gang. No need to dissect its logic, or lack thereof.
“I don’t believe in anything supernatural” stares at Colbert 💀
That moment was gold xD
As Louis CK pointed out Stephen looks like no people
He doesn't believe in anything supernatural? How does he explain magic leprechauns, then? :)
@@Bill_Garthright Imagination
"That's impossible. Trolls don't exist." "Then how do you explain the dead unicorns?"
10 minutes and 31 seconds of Stephen Colbert using all of his lateshow expertise to try and steer the topic away from death
.... and trying to Stump the Agnostic to make him _admit_ Dogs are great because of God! 😏 Or he wanted Ricky to *admit* he DOES believe in Something "magical" i.e. the Dog missing him! 🤔
@Chaos Burrito He wasn't running away from death, he was desperately pushing for it. None of you have a clue.
I think Ricky does that because Stephen does it with faith. He keeps asking people about their religious views. They were trying to make each other uncomfortable I guess.
And failing...
6Stephen's brother died in plan crash. I think that'swhy he is curious about death.*
"At the end of a day an octopus really, all it is, is a head really" -Karl Pilkignton to Ricky Gervais
Only thing is the arms all have a mind of their own.
You could say the same about humans? We have no nails or teeth to speak of, no claws, talons, no muscles to back them up, no way of surviving. Accept... Octopusses can go anywhere the brain fits (it can collapse it´s head, same can be said for humans.
@@Ludifant humans can collapse their head? I mean, sure, but they won't be alive afterwards xp
Jellyfish are 97% water or something, so how much are they doing? Just give them another 3% and make them water. -KP- head like a f'n orange
Do we need them?
I can't help but grin from ear to ear when these two men are on the same stage together
Thank you .... my thoughts verbalised (or typed).
Me too!!
Yes usually but this time it was kinda weird! I had a feeling that Ricky wasn’t his usual self
@@margotgray3330 Werbalised
Love love Ricky. He is sooo funny.But why does he interject death in every sentence.Does he have a premonition or no not a death wish!!!!!!!
I know comedians use their material more than once but I could swear that these two had nearly the exact same conversation sometime in the last couple years.
Every time he's on ...
Stephen is Catholic...he likes hearing the same thing over and over...its comforting to him.
yew 2oob 😂
@@yew2oob954 hahaha
Every time he is on. Not sure if it is Stephen not having enough imagination to talk about anything else, or Ricky asks for it. Getting repetitive.
As my Dad used to say, after a certain age, the only thing that makes life tolerable is the secure knowledge that at least, one day, it'll end.
whenever my dad talks about the afterlife im always like "you want another one??? this hasn't been enough??"
islanti You have some special powers to be able to know one's from another's political by their reference to death. Not that I noticed many comments ASKING for death, whether talked about or not, for us all, death is inevitable, But then republicans demonstrate an extreme talent for burying their heads in the sand to avoid seeing or hearing unpleasant things about their role model, Mr. Trump.😂🙄
@Mike Hegarty death is not inevitable
islanti your second question is a symptom of stupidity. A couple of funny/cynical Dads in the comments above!
High Af Cow The world awaits the presentation of your evidence🙄😀😆😂
I just love Ricky's devotion to dogs. I like him more and more every time he's on this show.
I love listening/watching intelligent people talk and/or entertain us. He is a gem of a person. Truly one of a kind.
I find myself just sitting and smiling at the screen whenever Ricky is on. 💜
Gervais is an international treasure.
Ricky Gervais: "I've got less summers now than I've ever had." Stannis Bratheon: "Fewer."
Scott Jordan Yes.
Ser Davos Seaworth
Lol that's true. But does anyone really ever use that grammar form? I think it should probably be replaced since language does evolve over time.
@@loot6 ..Since language does evolve(or maybe devolve) over time.
"There's nothing wrong with being dead" Honestly, a mood
I absolutely love colbert and ricky's chemistry. they bring the best out of each other. just like ricky and letterman years back.
I love how colbert stays firm on what he believes and challenges guests with different ideas than him instead of just sucking up and agreeing with everything they say.
He gets so happy when a Catholic like Jim Gaffigan is on. Lol.
Ricky Gervais has the most genuine laugh of a guest i have ever heard,even in other interviews
Stephen and Ricky is a friendship I didn't know I needed but I am here for it!
Two very wise men, as well as comedic geniuses, on top of being two lovely human beings. In the same room and talking to each other. What a dream! I could listen to them for hours.
I could watch these two discussing every topic imaginable just because it's so entertaining. I'm sure it would culminate in both of them discussing death but that's a plus.
One of the many things I love about Ricky Gervais is that he has fangs, bless him. Love his deadpan delivery, superstar!
Many people who grew up outside of the US have normal human canine teeth or "fangs" as you've called them. It's one of those proclivities that American people falsely believe to be universal to the species.
@@puirYorick Easier to gnaw on our enemies?
@@michellemcmiken8952 I see. Hopefully you will find your way back to your friends again one day soon. Then, perhaps, return to nuzzles and nibbling at the most. Cheers!
His friend, Bowie, had the best fangs until he had caps later in life. It’s an English thing. They don’t believe in perfect chiclet teeth.
Humor is the only answer to madness.:)
And medication
Maybe every native American laughing their asses of saying karma is a bitch
And art
@@TMRhyno Knowing when to laugh is the difference.
Mel Brooks says "Humor is just another defense against the universe"
"Being dead is like being stupid: it's only painful for others." Best line I've heard all day. :-)
Damn, I love Ricky Gervais! Always a cheeky interview.
C J Yes sir, he's the best!
This is actually the first time I've ever heard Stephen say he doesn't always have faith, and Ricky say that he has some.
Ricky: God isn't real, sorry. Stephen: That dog doesn't love you back. SORRY.
both true statements but at least the dog has the ability to prove he exists.
None Defense Have you ever had a dog?
Ricky, Stephen, neither does god love you (anybody) back, very sorry! :-)
@Oggatha Christie yes ma'am. you are correct. with out over analyzing my silly joke allow me to add the asterisk that in the case of that specific dog I find it more likely that he accepted Ricky and his interactions, but his heart and true love was most likely reserved for his trainer. thankyou for holding my statement accountable and I hope I've cleared that up.
@@CanItAlready I've had many in my 40 years on this earth. my current dog is named Grublett and he loves us as much as the dog in Ricky's story loves his trainer (and not Ricky as was the point of the joke). i hope I've cleared that up and we can smoke some weed together some time.
always a good philosophical discussion with these two between the jokes
What I love so much about Ricky is that he's not just a fearless comedian but he's SMART... a killer combination :)
"It's only painful for others" This man is amazinggg
Ricky: we're all going to die soon. Stephen: your dog doesn't love you. WELP
Guess that's why Ricky always wears a 10 year old T-shirt - hand me down from Simon Cowell.
Ricky is so fun. Everything he touches turn to gold.
I have the exact same "opt out of society, grab me a castle and hundreds of rescue dogs" dream
Most contagious laugh ever.
“..but my cat’s on Twitter - someone will tell her.” 😂😂😂
This is true btw lol
Bebeh Gunayan I know 😂
He is not only incredibly funny but mostly, incredibly intelligent.
I love their conversation. It's always so interesting to hear their subtle or on the face differences in their believes. Refreshing and so respectful.
There actually is evidence that dogs love and are as emotionally attached as we are. Funny, I am living Ricky Gervais' dream retirement.
"It'll be fine, because we'll all be dead soon." Immediate LIKE
always a treat to see these two fine gentlemen together.
Ricky Gervais has the best laugh! Love watching him laugh.
I love Ricky’s and Stephen’s conversations 😭
Ollie's 16 years already!? Time sure flies.
Ollie is so beautiful and her twitter is so funny. @myleftfang
man I love Ricky, he's such a skeptical empiricist
Keanu and Ricky have same approach to death. One makes you feel, other makes you laugh
Nick Fury: "We've got a thing!" Dog Man: "I've got to feed the dogs."
I thought at the beginning as the audience was applauding, Ricky would turn to them and say his famous: "Shut Up!" lol
literally, read it with his voice in my head hahahaha
Or as it would be on that show... "Shut the BLEEEEPPPPP up"
This was greatest back and forth on this show I've ever seen. Lolol
Wouldn't it be so cool to see an interview with both Ricky and John Oliver?
Anna Sandul this needs to happen!
Anna Sandul most likely a mutual destain...
Throw in Dave Chapelle...
These spiritual segments are actually super insightful. I feel good.
Ricky Gervais just went on national television to give 30 thousand people an existential crisis... bravo. Troll Level 900!
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Ricky Gervais, King of the Dogs”
Ricky is such a ray of sunshine. :-)
I'm loving their ongoing discussion about the nearness & inevitability of death and Ricky's love of dogs...
I always look forward to the next time Ricky's on this show haha
The back and forth in this witty conversation is sooo underrated
omg i love him even more after hearing the story about the dog, that was so touching
I thought I couldn't love this man more....then he talks about a Dog Castle🐾❤
"I've got less summers, now, than I've _ever_ had." Whoa. 😲 Profound. "That's true. But you're as young as you'll ever be." 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
And yesterday is dead, it's just a memory. The day after you die, you'll be yesterday.
Ricky Gervais is the absolute best!
Ricky Gervais, loving the perspective and deadpan delivery. I have a similar perspective on life, death & having awe in the natural world. Him and Stephen together were great 😊
"It can make its own custard" *whisks* ❤️❤️❤️
i love when these two guys get together. always the best interviews. hands down.
It could make its own custard!!! Lol .. that man's brain is on a whole new level
Ricky Gervais is one of few reccuring guests to bring out Stephen's A-game. Balancing their shared love of dark, intellectual humour with the format's demand for ligh talk show comedy is not an easy feat.
Dogs have no idea how much we care and talk fondly about them. Kids have no idea what a pain in the ass they are.
I love it when Ricky belly laughs. Steven is my favorite.
Ricky Gervais to Stephen Colbert is like Bill Burr to Conan.
"Dogs are amazing!" Dog for President.
And Derek. The best of the lot.
This two have amazing chemistry
The best thing about being dead is, you don't know about it. It's like being stupid, it's only painful for others." -Ricky Gervais This has to be one of the greatest saying of all time.
If you want to know what actually happens after death (atheist's view): kzhead.info/sun/dbCqcrmhopiEq30/bejne.html
Ricky Gervais is the happiest nihilist I've seen.
Ricky Gervais is my spirit animal.
Don't forget to mention "Derek". A wonderful show!
Ricky should do Rescue Dog Rescue!
Oooh, I love Ricky Gervais. He's so damn clever, always inventing on the spot. His exceptional talent reminds me of Robin Williams. Always original!
His laughter gives me life.
that glass half something back and forth start is gold.
“Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If Death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?" -Epicurus
That's great, thanks for sharing!
“Firefly faith”, I like that, and completely understand.
This is like hearing two philosophers have a conversation on a hill top under the fig tree on a full moon night...
Arkham Assassin ....with a light drizzle. I think that Steven and Ricky have started to mellow in their conversations. Love them both.
...and then Stephen makes jam out of those figs.
“ Being stupid is painful to others “ shite mate 😂
This is the most cliche comment in the history of comments. But legit-- I see Ricky, I click.
Issey me too. Always.
Simplest reasons are the best.
I’m a simple man. I see this comment, I cringe.
Thanks for not saying “I’m a simple man”- that’s the worst part of the phrase
@@aricgoss aww how sweet.
3:45 “Nature is super enough...We don’t need angels and unicorns... we’ve got the octopus.”
Two comedic geniuses of our time
He should only argue on theism when ricky is here no one does it better
And Bill Maher of course
I’m worried about Ricky talking about death all the time. I want him to live another 30 years
i put Ricky Gervais' laugh on my phone ringer tone
I love whenever Ricky is on this show.
cannot wait for after life season 2. absolutely ADORE ricky. Humanity was a stellar special, i laughed my behind off and in the end almost teared up.
Gotta love Ricky. The perfect person to segue you into Atheism
Love it when Ricky comes on Stephen's show!! They are brilliant together 💞🦁💞
The collective noun for a group of platypus is a “ puddle” !
8:46 oh man Colbert was waiting for this moment since at least the last interview he had with Ricky
And again, Jon cuts in with the funeral march. Nice work Jon! :)
*This is how politics should be like, 2 extremist points of view that can have a civilized conversation*
There is nothing extremist about Gervais' point of view
Castle I think you meant differing not extremist lmao, that word gets thrown around too much
@@LuxioV2 *Those 2 are on the opposite site of the spectrum, one believing everything about God and the supernatural, the other aren't, don't believe in anything*
@@castle7689 Haha, that's like if one guy believes it will rain tomorrow and another believes it won't, they are both extremists because they believe the exact opposite of eachother
@@KaninTuzi *There's people that believe in God but don't believes ghosts exist, now what's the antonym of a God believer an atheist*
The pair of them together 😂
I love that Stephen knew he was talking to him when he said supernatural! I love these 2 together. ❤️😂
