Exclusive: JerrySeinfeld, rickygervais disagree over laughing at bad jokes in 'Comedians in Cars' clip
Jerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais have very different opinions on the matter, as shown in this exclusive clip from Netflix's"If someone does a lame joke, I laugh too much. I don't want to make them feel bad," Gervais said, to the surprise of Seinfeld, who calls Gervais "a sweet guy."
"I want to do just the opposite," Seinfeld says. "I want them to feel horrible. … Doesn't it bother you that they think they're funny enough to make you laugh?" Argues Gervais: "You're treating like an insult when it's a compliment that they would love you to laugh at them because they like you so much."
While Seinfeld makes the case that it gives the joke-teller a false sense of their own talents and might make them believe they are "on the same level" as someone who spent years honing their craft, Gervais then retorts by asking, "But it's not like someone going up to a doctor and going, 'Can I take your appendix out?' … We're not that important.
This marks Gervais' second time on the series. He was the show's second-ever guest back when it launched in 2012 on Crackle.
