Gervais was one of the early adopters of the delusion shared by comics these days that if something they isnt well received its because eVeRYOne iS OffENDed!!! and it cant possibly be that its simply not funny.

Nah. People laugh at his shows bc he's funny. Then someone who would never pay to see his show reads a transcript of the joke after the fact and gets offended. It's not like he's selling out shows, only to bomb and then blaming snowflakes. He's selling out shows, getting huge laughs, and then getting random tweets from sad sacks after the fact.

He jokes about the random tweeters being offended. He's not trying to pass the buck on unfunny jokes to offended people. Part of his shtick is to offend.
