The Dark or Inappropriate Humor Thread

I've never been a big fan of Gervais. Not because I don't like him, but simply because I've not seen him except in this and the speech he gave at the Golden Globes (?).
Your observation about the pedos is right, though I didn't notice it at the time.
In retrospect, there were a few laugh-out-loud jokes (a few) - like the "Want a puppy", because it went NOT where you were expecting it to go - a few smiles, and a few raised eyebrows.
I'll have to check out his other stuff to have a comparison. Recommendations. anyone?

I preferred his earlier stuff, before he started trying a bit too hard to be offensive. The Office was where he really got famous - I found it more awkward to watch than the Steve Carrell version, but it was really clever at the time. Also, the series Extras is fun, with lots of cameos, although you might not recognize some of the British celebs, there are a fair number of well known ones. I'm not sure whether it's currently available to stream in the US.

Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaking of which, did you catch Chapelle's opening joke?
