Ricky Gervais is kind of a snob

So I've watched the Ricky Gervais stand-up special and, wow, Ricky Gervais is a stuck up dude. The special opens with about 10 minutes of an announcer praising Ricky Gervais for all of his achievements, then he procedes to sit there and stroke his own ego for another 10 when he finally emerges onto the stage. Don't get me wrong, the guy is talented and funny, and the show was overall good, it's just ... uh, you don't need to be so smug about the whole thing. I mean, look at the king outfit? Like, seriously, dude? Are you the king of England? And is having the most downloaded video on the internet of all time that big of an accomplishment?
