Summary:

  • Ricky Gervais arrives in Lisbon, stirring controversy with a provocative photo.

  • He has taken a firm stance against woke culture, drawing criticisms.

  • Gervais frequently targets Greta Thunberg in his routines.

  • His recent post shows him landing in a private jet, provoking climate advocates.

  • The post has ignited a flood of comments even before his show starts.

Ricky Gervais Lands in Lisbon

The English comedian Ricky Gervais arrived in Lisbon on Wednesday, February 26, around 3 PM, and his recent Instagram post is already stirring up controversy.

Challenging the Woke Culture

In recent years, Gervais has taken a firm stance against the dominant woke culture, particularly in the United States. His increasingly politically incorrect approach has drawn numerous criticisms and attempts to cancel him. One of his frequent targets is the young climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has been mocked multiple times in his shows.

Shift in Perception

Several left-leaning publications that once idolized Gervais now describe him as someone who has lost his touch, branding him an arrogant millionaire.

The Provocative Photo

The provocative nature of Gervais's post lies in the image he shared, which deliberately showcases him arriving in a private jet. This is seen as offensive to climate advocates like Thunberg and a blatant display of wealth to those who oppose capitalism and globalization. In the caption, he simply wrote, "Hello Lisbon" in Portuguese. Although his show is scheduled for Thursday, the festival of comments on his post has already begun.
