Ricky Gervais is the absolute worst for this. His stand-up is now just an hour of him desperately pleading to be cancelled and trying to big up how offensive he is. It's so boring, dreadful to see Jimmy Carr do the same

The problem with this type of shock humour comedian now is that the jokes are like, fine, 6/10 that nobody would care to complain about. But prefacing the whole bit with 'I'm not allowed to say these things!' sucks 99.9% of the humour out of the joke.

@DeanMancini1 Offensive humour is great, but it absolutely ruins the set-up if you say, "I have got this really offensive joke, you're not allowed to say this anymore" Always just lands disappointing then.

@thewatc95717625 I think they should say whatever they like, I don't have a problem with any of their jokes. It's the whole set-up before of "I can't say this anymore" which I just find really dull and ruins the comedy. Just my opinion
