Ricky Gervais savagely mocks influencers in cheeky bathtub video leaving fans in stitches

Ricky Gervais didn’t mince words as he took to social media today to mock influencers with a rather cheeky video. The comedian posted a slightly crude video to his Instagram, where he poked fun at the social media practice in view of his 3.9 million followers.

In the clip, which was simply captioned “influencer”, Ricky could be seen sitting in the bath with a black and white filter on him. Imitating young people who promote lifestyle and well-being on social media, he delivered some of his trademark satire.

“Hi guys, Ricky G here,” The Office creator said mockingly. “Wellness and beauty influencer.

“After a workout and stretch, I like to have a bath, just to chill out. I fill the bath with water - hot and cold - mix it all in, and I sit in it.

“Sometimes I use a facial scrub, a shampoo… even a conditioner.” At this point, Rishi stopped putting on his “chilled out” voice, adding a rather crude aside.

“Don’t forget to do your c*** and your b**** and your a*** as well!” he added, tipping his head back to make a bizarre laughing noise.

Ricky’s fans quickly took to the comments to share their amusement at his latest post, with Strictly’s Motsi Mabuse reacting with a string of laughing emojis.

“Don't think I was entirely ready but it still made my day,” one person penned with a laughing emoji.

“You are too much. We love you Ricky,” another wrote with more laughing emojis, while a third added: “accurate.” (sic)

One more commented: “Just spat my brew out!! Had to watch this 6 times, absolutely crying.” (sic)

“Hahaha you made my day Mr influencer,” one joked, as yet another wrote: “This is the content we were waiting for, Ricky. We really appreciate it.”

Aside from his successful career as a stand-up comedian, Ricky is best known for creating some of Britain’s biggest shows including 2001’s The Office, 2012’s Derek and 2019’s After Life.
