To be honest I find Ricky Gervais extremely annoying, his wit is repetitive and pedantic and the episode of ‘The Simpsons’ which he wrote I personally though was terrible.
I much prefer Bill Hicks as a comedian, despite the fact that he died some years ago his comedy still remains strong and poignant today.
It’s not merely his longevity that I think makes him a good comedian, his lines were delivered flawlessly and he was good and pointing out the flaws in the way people thought and acted long before that became the comedic norm.
