I’m pretty sure that at this point Ricky Gervais is just an actor and one of his acting Roles is that of a stand up comedian.
In his last stand up he pretty much says this himself by drawing similarities between himself and Anthony Hopkins and asking why people don’t hate Hopkins for eating people in the same way people are hating on him for his trans routines. What he’s saying is it’s all part of his act while he is pretending to be a stand up comedian.
This is confirmed by the fact that his last three specials are pretty much all the same jokes told in a different way. Same scripts/storylines/etc just rewritten.
I genuinely think that Derek is so excruciatingly bad that it's some sort of in joke where he's been challenged to see how bad he can make something and still have people like it.
I watched one episode of Derek and one episode of Afterlife...one was an appalling premise appallingly delivered another was an interesting premise appallingly delivered. I realise I may be in a minority. He gets lots of likes and money so I assume he thinks what he is doing is of high quality. Piers Morgan thinks it is genius.

Tim Rice could only dream of writing lyrics like that.

A 10 minute review of Afterlife that brilliantly tears it to pieces.
Didn’t do Michael McIntyre any harm..
