Ricky Gervais is one of the few great comics of our generation.. Supernature set the bar for standup specials, standing almost alone at the top.. (he had Chappelle for company with "The Closer")
Armageddon is good, well worth a watch, but not "Supernature" or "The Closer" good. I found too many of the jokes a bit predictable, something that Ricky is usually great at avoiding, many eye rolling moments and a lot fewer spitting "laugh out loud" punchlines. I look forward to the next Gervais special, or anything that he produces really, while this is not his best work, a stand up comic of this level still delivers when not running on all cylinders.
