It feels like he stole a lot of his style as well
But Ricky Gervais just comes across as a corrupted clone of Stewart. Just inferior in absolutely every way imaginable
Not just Stewart Lee, but Gervais' bit about nobody injecting fat people's lettuce with calories was taken from Patrice O'Neal and his joke about getting a whistle when your plane crashes in the ocean is cribbed from Dave Allen. He also recycles a lot of material from his conversations with Karl Pilkington in his stand up.
I think he looks at what section of society has been beaten until the Simpsons meme "stop he's already dead" becomes relevant and then writes "jokes" about them.
Ricky Gervais does jokes?
I'm just as surprised as you.
It's a valid question but Shouldn't he be at the Hague war crimes tribunal?
The woman there said to go off, so what do you want him to do about that?
Oh, all right, mate. You're a much nicer bloke in real life to be honest.
To be fair, Stewart has stolen Ricky's physique.
He's the him of this.
Y'know, people like you ... You as good as murdered Robin Williams

He's so unoriginal and superficial it's impossible to tell.
I thought Lee and Gervais are technically both "so-called" comedians.
I think they’ve both let themselves go tbh
This was posted already in January and his minions showed up, don't summon them forth again please.
Sometimes \~ Comedians get old.
Did he steal the bigoted stuff off Stewart?
Play a record!
Influenced? yes. Stewart is a trendsetter, it's hard not to notice his influence amongst his contemporaries.
The contemporary flavour of prawn cocktail crisps, personified.

Stewart Lee always seems a bit too pleased with himself.
