I love his wit when it's witty, and not punching down, (like the above) or calling people 'mongs' like a pathetic 80s school bully - here's one, lovingly reported in the daily mail:

"Telling one tongue-in-cheek gag, Ricky said: 'I am trying to be more woke. For example, I love illegal immigrants. Sue me.

'Sometimes I just go down to Dover and I see a f***ing dinghy with 60 of them on and I go, 'Come on, welcome! Women and children first. Oh, there are no women — just you lads, is it?' "

Just the ticket for the daily mail - can see why they like him, what with him repeating their tropes. (the office was quite funny though)
