Ricky Gervais: High Barnet

Ricky Gervais on High Barnet

High Barnet. Let's discuss this because it's absolutely barmy.

I read the headline and thought, no. NO. This can't be happening. But it IS!

Welcome to the timeline where nothing makes sense!

High Barnet is apparently REAL. Not satire. Not a joke. ACTUAL REALITY.

And people's reaction? [Shrugs] 'Yeah, seems normal.' IT'S NOT NORMAL!

We've completely lost our baseline for sanity! Everything's weird now!

Ten years ago this would've shocked us. Now we're like, 'Oh, another one for the pile.'

The pile of incomprehensible things that we've just accepted! It's MASSIVE!

Future historians will study this period and go, WHAT?!'

But we're living it! We're in it! And we can't even be properly shocked anymore!

High Barnet should break our brains but it doesn't! We're numb!

Numb from crisis fatigue! Scandal fatigue! REALITY fatigue!

Everything's exhausting! I'm exhausted! You're exhausted!

The news is exhausting! Politics is exhausting! Existence is exhausting!

So when High Barnet happens, we just... accept it. Add it to the list.

The ever-growing list of things we can't process because there's TOO MANY!

We're drowning in chaos! And we've stopped swimming!

We're just floating now. Accepting. Surrendering. Going with it.

And maybe that's okay? Maybe fighting reality is what's killing us?

So fine. High Barnet. Whatever. Add it to the pile.

See you tomorrow for the next incomprehensible disaster!
