Ricky Gervais is as edgy as your friend who laughs at his own Cards Against Humanity plays. #GoldenGlobes

And here’s what Ricky’s been Tweeting today, adamant that his Jenner joke was in no way a diss on transgenderism (which anyone with a brain already realises):

Suggesting a joke about Caitlin Jenner is automatically transphobic is like suggesting a joke about Bill Cosby is automatically racist.

I fucking love it when you all argue.

Viewer: I'm offended by a joke you made.
Me: So?
Viewer: You gonna apologise?
Me: No.
Viewer: Then I won't watch you again.
Me: Correct

In the future, everyone will be offended by me for 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/sTiLO5p9w0

You have every right to be offended. Just don't cry when no one cares.

That last Tweet basically sums it up best.

Can’t imagine how this lot would react if they saw our rundown of the most offensive video games ever made – featuring rape, massacres and ethnic cleansing.
