americans take comedy way to seriously, ppl in the uk dont care about insults so long as their funny, ricky is just a bit too used to a British audience, many comedians say this
Real Comedy always embarrasses - it has always been that way for decades - you would think that in the 2000's we would have got use to that by now - but no - we always have to take ourselves so seriously. Precious actors can never laugh at themselves - no wonder they drink and take drugs all the time because they spend so much time thinking about themselves.
Towneccentric - on the contrary, Ricky Gervais does not give a DAMN what dumb moronic USAmericans (85% of whom never advance beyond a teenage minus-frontal-lobe mentality) think of him; that's why he has the guts to tell the truth and say THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!
And the other 95% of the world's population is saying this too - THE EMPIRE is OVER. Your debt is unsustainable, China owns you, you are fat, lazy, dumb and cowardly.
@xander7ful In 2010 he was criticized for being too easy on the celebrities...Critics said he should have gone for the jugular. This year he DID go for the Jugular and then they rip him a new one for it...he can't win. (Had he been Chris Rock, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, or Jerry Seinfeld they would have LOVED it!) There's a definite bias against brittish comics in the U.S. We embody the phrase, "The ugly American."
@Furkin44 I know you wrote this 3 weeks ago but I had to let you know that I, along with many of my friends love brit humor. I was a fan of Gervais before he became known in the US. Of course it helps that we are liberal agnostics who appreciate smart (on the edge) humor.
When people started watching it they had no idea what they were about to see, so the ratings dont really count. Those people were either going to watch it or they weren't.
Gervais is great, but there's that whole mentality people have that famous people should be given special treatment because they are somehow above them and should never be offended...or else! What bs. They finally got a good comedian to make almost proper jokes instead of really lames rated G ones like on other shows and they complain about it??
@ZeroHex5412 Pretty damn nuts in real life, ain't it?! And its founder/creator, L Ron Hubbard, was originally a science-fiction author as well..imagine George Lucas had started his own religion after the release of "Star Wars", rather than continue the saga of films, and how we would have taken the piss out of him for it! He may even have ended up in a room padded with rubber for the remainder of his life..I could add so much more to this post but why bother? Scientology is a freaking SCAM..
why shouldnt you say that 3:57 comment. see motherfuckers think they can say whatever they want blah blah but when it comes to them who delivered joke they cant handle. you want to know what that makes you a BITCH.
I thought we was the best thing about the show and only reason I bothered to keep watching it. Those folks getting upset and way too uptight and out of touch with reality anymore I think. Living in lala land treated like they can do whatever they want....
I am a recovering alcoholic and I was LMAO! People... he is a comedian!!!! I even make jokes about my own problems with addiction. Lighten up. in any case these jokes were for me, I would feel proud I am sober and it will make me feel stronger not to "go Out"
@mrdk216 Yep! Globes ratings up on previous years & the Oscars were well down on theirs..RG is brilliant & is the perfect medicine for so many of those narcissistic, egotistical, thin-skinned twats in Hollywood..& they're (the actors, not the other human components of the industry, eg. directors, writers, etc) simply reading someone else's work & are allowed as many attempts as is required until they get it right..RG performs HIS OWN material & has the ONE shot at getting it right on the night!
Some people have a biting wit (AKA rapier wit) to their humor, and it is not for everyone. Sarcastic humor is borderline "passive-aggressive".
I prefer humor that is self-depreciating or just plain silly. I like Monty Python type humor too. If Rapier humor is delivered well it is really funny. It takes skill to do that though :)
Charlie Sheen= Wino... Downey Jr. = Creep... Phillip Burke= Old Timer... Scientology=Homos...
What's the big deal? He makes comedy with the truth, British Comedians ALWAYS tell it straight... Truth hurts, doesn't it? Mah, it's just a bit of fun,get over your egos!!!
@WinkyMaeve umm if you're refering to unkosher, no religious jew would ever use that. it's more NY or LA slang and it's meant to make fun of jews if anything. so, you're wrong mister. you're prolly from a square state thou so it's ok.
This makes me proud to have a thick British background. Only a brit could piss this many people off... Or an Irish, but half of Ireland is part of the UK lol
They didn't mention the joke about saying Bruce Willis is Ashton Kutcher's father!!!! That was the craziest one of the night! Or saying thank you got for making me an atheist!!! WTH!!
@kittycatbrat84 Glad that you also noticed those 2 omissions..the Willis/Kutcher gag was not only hilarious but you could also see that BW took it really well too, as should all of the other "victims" on the night..I defy ANYBODY to inform me of even ONE untruth that came from RG's mouth that night..the truth especially hurts so many of these prima donna egomaniacs..& I'm also glad that someone else appreciated his God/atheist gag at the end..shame everyone was already up & departing by then!
LOL did they not get the joke about scientologists? It wasn't a joke about members of scientology. It was a shot at Tom Cruise. As far as the show Hollywood came off like some ego driven, elitist, sensitive babies to me. I can imagine how many publicists were furious.
The reason censorship is on demand is because folks fear listeners will agree. Not necessarily approve, but agree. In other words, what Gervais said wasn't "enjoyed" despite there being inarguable facts.
I love it! He dares. He's basically telling us what had happened.
@niemanickurwa Fucking brilliant idea, that!! They can all slap one another's backs, fellate one another or whatever else they fancy in their own time and preferably behind closed doors..and instead devote the entire televised show to RG devouring the most annoying, egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic, thin-skinned "A-listers" present, one by fucking one..I'm 100% adamant that I'm not the Lone Ranger when I say that I would far prefer that format to the existing one!!
Why doesn't anyone have empathy. I'm not in love with celebrities but I got to admit they are still people with feelings. Everyone including some of the celebrities who were present at the Globes are quick to stick up for Gervais but they are ignoring the fact that if Gervais was to make insulting jokes about them they might sing a different tune. Maybe my sense of humor is too weird but I believe that it is possible to be a great comedian without have to insult or hurt other people.
@MrJenga5 of course its possible to be a great comedian without insulting others but that is Gervais's style. its what hes famous for. Those who are offended need to chill out and realise that he is just joking. Those who think its crossing the line or its bad taste are just misunderstanding the joke and taking it the wrong way. Ricky is hilarious BECAUSE he is rude but his rudeness and bluntness is JUST A PART OF HIS ACT, thats what people need to realise.
@MrJenga5 But what did RG say that was downright nasty or non-factual during the night? And IMO, only someone (of those whom RG took aim at) severely lacking a sense of humour or a thick skin & with way too big an ego could seriously take offence at what he said about them..Mr Downey Jr has made plenty of jokes about his own past, Hugh Heffner is SIXTY years older than his new bride-to-be, Tim Allen is pretty average when compared to Tom Hanks' resume, "The Tourist" was CRAP..should I go on?!
@MrJenga5 they have chosen to become famous there wasn't some guy standing on the street grabing you and forcing you to act and become famous and win or more often almost win or normally just be there while other are winning/almost winning awards while being offended because a brit made a joke about someone they maybe even don't know and ricky gervais is not hurting any people. being offended by ricky gervaises jokes is equally to mental illness
As much as I don't give a shit about Charlie Sheen and RDJ, I have to say that making fun of drug/alcohol etc addiction is not ok. Who cares if they are celebrities? In the end, they are real people and addiction destroys lives, families, relationships. The "comedian" has only shown his ignorance of the realities of addiction and his ignorance of compassion for other human beings.
@TheQwerty59 "As much as I don't give a shit about Charlie Sheen and RDJ, I have to say that making fun of drug/alcohol etc addiction is not ok." I'm in recovery and I think it's hilarious. Depends on how you take it, I guess.
tstruss912 I'm in recovery from my own addictions and I've come across others such as urself who are ok with joking about it, but it just hits too deep for me. When I see a person like Gervais and then see that ppl are RELIEVED b/c the addicted person NEEDED to be taken down a notch (really, when they're already down) and that they DESERVED to feel even worse about themselves, I don't understand. It perpetuates the idea that we need to be paralyzingly ashamed of our struggles...Much luck 4 u. :)
i do agree that people need to pull the stick out of their asses. He's a comedian and none of his jokes were particularly offensive. That said, his head isn't any smaller than the actors. I highly doubt that the Golden Globes, those awards that have been around for 57 years, are going to have too many problems finding a host for next year and almost immediately forgetting about him. Gervais thinks he's as big a deal in America as he is in England, and he really isn't.
Ricky Gervais is one of the most intelligent personnality of our time. His funny side comes from his french-canadian father. Ricky Gervais is also an awesome writer.
These types of self-congratulating ceremonies are sickening. It's great to see someone like Ricky Gervais lay down the truth and put these people in their place. The only person who was genuinley laughing at the jokes was Robert De Niro.
On a side note, Frankie Boyle should host this next year. It'd be awesome.
@amerboy22 Very valid point...recently watched "Out of England 2" live in Chicago and they went NUTS over him & I've read about much the same in other US cities he performed in..I'm an Aussie but I've relatives in the US, both in NYC and LA (one cousin has his own sound recording studio and works only with the film studios - does very well for himself but he HATES that elitist shit & has told me so many fucked-up stories about "them")..unfair to judge all Yanks by those elitist gits on TV/film
Hollywood is about one thing and one thing only: money. No one has any balls to speak the truth there. The whole awards ceremony is so phony and egomaniacal that it would be unbearable without someone like Gervais hosting.
So Cenk thinks it's funny to make fun of Downey because it's true? Ok the Cenk better not get mad when people make fun of his kid in school because of that stupid name 'Prometheus Maximus' it's the truth it's a stupid name so the kid deserve to be made fun of.
Robert Downey went on to poke fun at himself and his philandering via women he has worked with. I think he got that it was a joke and funny, whether he liked it or not.
Cenk, I'm sure you of all people, if you knew the HFPA head and the bribery and corporate bs at hand for these awards, you'd be all for the shots at him.
What is fun about being rude to others? Getting ratings may be of importance, but does it not matter how you do it? Im sure he would have gotten a lot of viewers if he pissed on the stage also but does that make him talented?
"The next presentor is a true hollywood icon. In ten of the biggest blockbusters of all time, he has shown his extraordinary acting versatility. He has played a boxer and Rambo... Welcome Sylvester Stalone". AHAHA! Ricky Gervais! xD That dude is awesome.
They don't want a sharp comedian like Ricky Gervais to bring in ratings, they just want a nice, private place where they can fellate each other's egos.
You guys have got to be kidding me! you didn't even make mention of the Bruce Willis joke, the Angelina-Johnny Depp joke.You instead picked the light jokes. Poor research.
GERVAIS WAS FUNNY AS HELL AND THE ONLY REASON HALF OF US EVEN WATCHED THE GLOBES LIVE! THOSE IN HOLLYWOOD WHO WERE OFFENDED NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO COUNT THEIR MONEY! LOL, and btw his shot at downey jr. was my fav
"you are dumb?" that's you're response? What next, you going to stick out your tongue at me? Maybe after you get out of high school you can learn to talk like a grownup.
@eatmorenachos My inquiry about your IQ level was merely one half of my comment. "Maybe" after you finish reading the second half of it you can be a douche bag. Oh, and because I know you are "dumb", I need to point out that the previous sentence was my attempt to mock you. Please refrain from questioning my high school diploma when you can't even see your error in beginning sentences with "Maybe". Go jump in front of a Special-Ed bus while I wave my B.A. at you.
There's nothing wrong with starting a sentence with the word "maybe," but there is something wrong with someone who resorts to using words like "dumb" and "cunt" simply because they're incapable of arguing like an adult.
You may indeed have a college degree, but you've got the maturity of a toddler.
@eatmorenachos I guess I need to become a "grownup" like you! AHAHAHAHAHAH DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOE LACES YET LITTLE BOY? VELCRO IS THE WAY TO GO!
i think you can be funny without slamming other people. it takes more talent but it can be done. i don't think being a comedian should give you the free pass to insult everyone and tell those insulted people that they have the problem because they won't shrug it off. Ricky Gervais is mean spirited in all of his comedy so this wasn't a real surprise.
I love Ricky, but sadly I love Hugh Laurie just slightly more, and couldn't help but feel a slight tug when Ricky turned his attention to him. I have the usual obligations to celebrity worshiping, cultures tied to it etc... But I still love Hugh Laurie. One of the few celebrities able to make me side with a product if they're in the advert, whether I like it or not. Still, glad Ricky took some people down a notch, even if Hugh was one of them. Some big egos flying around there :P
Downy has gotten too big, I love the guy but he's now a typical hollywood boob. LOL Being many in hollywood are scientologists that was funny. He's from the UK right? So he could give a shit what anyone thinks. I do think it's sad that so many Americans were watching this though, I never understood the attraction to celebrity awards shows.

@MrJenga5 they have chosen to become famous there wasn't some guy standing on the street grabing you and forcing you to act and become famous and win or more often almost win or normally just be there while other are winning/almost winning awards while being offended because a brit made a joke about someone they maybe even don't know and ricky gervais is not hurting any people. being offended by ricky gervaises jokes is equally to mental illness

As much as I don't give a shit about Charlie Sheen and RDJ, I have to say that making fun of drug/alcohol etc addiction is not ok. Who cares if they are celebrities? In the end, they are real people and addiction destroys lives, families, relationships. The "comedian" has only shown his ignorance of the realities of addiction and his ignorance of compassion for other human beings.

@TheQwerty59 "As much as I don't give a shit about Charlie Sheen and RDJ, I have to say that making fun of drug/alcohol etc addiction is not ok." I'm in recovery and I think it's hilarious. Depends on how you take it, I guess.
tstruss912 1 year ago 2
tstruss912 I'm in recovery from my own addictions and I've come across others such as urself who are ok with joking about it, but it just hits too deep for me. When I see a person like Gervais and then see that ppl are RELIEVED b/c the addicted person NEEDED to be taken down a notch (really, when they're already down) and that they DESERVED to feel even worse about themselves, I don't understand. It perpetuates the idea that we need to be paralyzingly ashamed of our struggles...Much luck 4 u. :)

i do agree that people need to pull the stick out of their asses. He's a comedian and none of his jokes were particularly offensive. That said, his head isn't any smaller than the actors. I highly doubt that the Golden Globes, those awards that have been around for 57 years, are going to have too many problems finding a host for next year and almost immediately forgetting about him. Gervais thinks he's as big a deal in America as he is in England, and he really isn't.

These types of self-congratulating ceremonies are sickening. It's great to see someone like Ricky Gervais lay down the truth and put these people in their place. The only person who was genuinley laughing at the jokes was Robert De Niro.
On a side note, Frankie Boyle should host this next year. It'd be awesome.

mattforrester1973 1 year ago
Hollywood is about one thing and one thing only: money. No one has any balls to speak the truth there. The whole awards ceremony is so phony and egomaniacal that it would be unbearable without someone like Gervais hosting.

That's why good books become bad movies. Do it on the cheap and make it a celebrity movie. A good example would be "The Shining".

@eatmorenachos My inquiry about your IQ level was merely one half of my comment. "Maybe" after you finish reading the second half of it you can be a douche bag. Oh, and because I know you are "dumb", I need to point out that the previous sentence was my attempt to mock you. Please refrain from questioning my high school diploma when you can't even see your error in beginning sentences with "Maybe". Go jump in front of a Special-Ed bus while I wave my B.A. at you.
GUCCImontana420 1 year ago
@GUCCImontana420 ,
There's nothing wrong with starting a sentence with the word "maybe," but there is something wrong with someone who resorts to using words like "dumb" and "cunt" simply because they're incapable of arguing like an adult.
You may indeed have a college degree, but you've got the maturity of a toddler.

i think you can be funny without slamming other people. it takes more talent but it can be done. i don't think being a comedian should give you the free pass to insult everyone and tell those insulted people that they have the problem because they won't shrug it off. Ricky Gervais is mean spirited in all of his comedy so this wasn't a real surprise.

One of the few celebrities able to make me side with a product if they're in the advert, whether I like it or not. Still, glad Ricky took some people down a notch, even if Hugh was one of them. Some big egos flying around there :P
