Ricky Gervais 2012 Golden Globes Opening Monologue

[NovaJoanna]

Did someone tell the woman at 4:20 that "don't make that face, he's serious" and she answered "oh is he" :D

[evilgisdamasta]

Tina Fey and Amy Pohler think that they are so much better than Ricky. Yeah Right

[NataliaWeronikaD]

everyone goes like 'not again...'

[imcitizenginsburg]

Gervias much funnier than Crystal..

[pyromanizak]

such a cheeky kunt

[MrCold012]

0:07 kate is just fuckin beautiful

[ProudToBeNerdy]

I hate how there was a massive uproar about him at the 2011 ceremony. I mean, he's a comedian, it's his job to take the piss out of things.

[liammunky]

Billy Fin

[Southparkateer2]

Ricky Gervais! A one man army!

[sumyuyan]

@Southparkateer2 i could take him. piece of cake.

[mashburnium]

Jodie Foster's kids: Wow, he's talking about my mom's vagina....this is awkward.

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

Anyone also notice the intro music when he walked out was from 2 girls 1 cup.

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

He held back....

[dazgodbold]

@POWXR Yeah a real FUCKING CUNT how dare you do something like that!!!~!

[saeidmomtahan]

It always amazes me how nervous these celebrities get when the camera is on them. I'd think with them being celebrities and all, they'd be very comfortable with being under the spotlight for a few seconds. Guess I'm wrong.

[CookeryBook2]

Ricky Gervais isn't funny anymore

[disgracelanduk]

@CookeryBook2 Oh yes he is.

[simplelife88393]

@CookeryBook2 I agree and I've been a big fan of his since like 2004.

[boydman117]

You'd think that celebrities would have a better sense of humor about this whole thing. I would cherish the opportunity to be burned by Ricky Gervais!

[baddadeatpie]

@boydman117 i dare to correct you,you should cherish the oppurtunity to burn Ricky Gervais!!!!Hes a smug fat cunt

[MadCowpat]

@boydman117 He's probably not getting too many laughs due to the whole English/American humour thing.

[8T2Artist]

DID THE SAME GUY WHO WROTE ALI.G WRITE THIS SOUNDS THE SAME STYLE

[18livetolove]

this man is a legend

[EmbracingAwkward]

Leo seems to be stuck in character

[POWXR]

check again ;)

[arasace]

He had a chance to go after George Clooney being gay, but no he sucks up to him just like everyone else, what a sellout.

[izaccy]

@arasace shut up dont insult George Clooney..

his our guy... a national treasure..

[baddadeatpie]

@izaccy Does this mean we can bury him???

[Bragnanymous]

@arasace Why would someone go after anyone for being gay? It's not really something worth going after someone for. It'd be like giving him shit because of his hair color.

[baddadeatpie]

@Bragnanymous This sounds suspiciously like the ranting of a GINGER,shut up copperbollocks

[JamesGod08]

Why do yanks love Ricky Gervais? He is an absolute moron, I suppose that is why. He is no Englishman. Please stop buying into this utter crap.

[monkeyandtoast]

@JamesGod08 Fuck Off?..

[dgdhqgdyukqud]

"Hajlando lenne felseg megfogna a seprumet??" :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[TheHerabored]

Ricky was my favorite stand up comedian next to Carlin, Pryor, Hicks, Moran and Izzard but that was utter shit....I adore the Office and the Extras but I was utterly disappointed by him sucking up to them..

[spxeli]

@TheHerabored Because he didn't go out out of his way to bash them he's sucking up? Man some people are truly fucked up. They love this guy hosting last year not because they think he was funny but because he bashed the shit out of these actors and when he doesn't do it as much the next year nobody is happy. As if the actors wronged them in someway because they're rich.

[90geekgirl06]

@spxeli I just think it's crap that they made him tone it down this year. Last year, yeah he was insulting, but it was really all in good fun and it certainly didn't deserve the amount of criticism that it got. People in Hollywood, however, are far too insecure to allow any kind of insult to slip by, so naturally they got all butt-hurt over it. So yeah, it's lame, but it's really not his fault since none of those whiny prima donnas can take a joke.

[spxeli]

@90geekgirl06 I don't remember any of them even complaining about last year......

[90geekgirl06]

@spxeli The Hollywood Foreign Press did. The day after the awards they said they would never allow him to do it again (ha-ha, yeah right).

[spxeli]

@90geekgirl06 You just made my point. The Hollywood Foreign Press are not movie actors (since they're the only group people mean when they say Hollywood). If a bunch of people in the film industry complained he wouldn't of been back. They might not control the Golden Globes but they have a huge influence.

[rich19879]

cant believe they keep gettin offended by him. we should send chubby brown over to host it

[ZeFrenchChick]

I really like Ricky, always been a great inspiration for us stand-up comics! Can't wait to see him on stage again! Vive Ricky!!!

[BondGraceBond]

Ricky Gervais is awesome! he is legend! got to be the number 1 best comedian ever!! <3 him!! He is honest and true and not afraid to say anything. <3 Ricky you rock!!

[6045310708]

i always feel awkward watching the opening monologues at the Golden Globes cuz I feel like the jokes are falling flat due to the only small amount of laughter. But I just realised, the crowd is quite small aren't they? So are people actually not laughing or is that actually a room full of laughter with just a small room?

[MadcapMacabre]

@6045310708 It's called awkward laughter. None of them want to be seen laughing at these jokes. It's just hesitation really :D Exactly what British comedians want to hear.

[FireLizard722]

wow, tina fey is gorgeous!!!

[KrayGeddie]

When we see ignorant comparisons that include Frankie Boyle, Billy Connelly etc, it sticks out immediately that the posters are either outright ignoramuses, or children who really should be in bed. Just like Jimmy Sommerville and Louis Armstrong, they are completely different. And it's not just their comedy content, it's everything about them, some folk just don't get it. This is the common trend of comments though, instant comparisons and put-downs from fucking mongs who should get to work!.

[metafis]

@KrayGeddie I loved office and the extras, the work of a genius imo, so how he can come up with something as shit as 'Lifes to short' is beyond me.

The guy has lost it imo, hes not the genius comedy king he once was. its a shame but its a fact. I hope he does something soon to prove me wrong.

Call me a mong if you want, but its what I think.

[1586brittc]

LOVE GERVAIS!!!!!! So funny

[Kamboolo]

he was quite funny on last years, but as a one off, same old tasteless shit, personally i think he's a cunt

[DeathMetalRegulator]

kate beckinsale 0:08 ...fapfapfapfap

[utubefannz]

elton, come on now, smile---, write a song about it!

[BenjiProductionsXL]

@tony26531

He's just being playful, he doesn't have an axe to grind with anybody. He's been in the limelight for over 10 years and his success only continues to grow with a new comedy series and An Idiot Abroad so shove your 'his star will fade' comment up your humourless arse.

[Q8tolate]

The only reason for watrching any of these dull self congratulatory film award ceremonies (Globes, Oscars, yada yada) is for some homor like this. If these so called celebs can't handle laughing at themselves they should get out of the limelight and get a real job

[18odette]

@Q8tolate That comment was totally unnecessary. These people have come from all sorts of walks of life and are, mostly, very intelligent people and could do most jobs they please. I agree that they should be able to laugh at themselves but to make the suggestion that "they should get out of the limelight and get a real job", go tell that to an actor like Meryl Streep or Al Pacino who, at times, would find it hard to laugh at crude jokes made about them. They're trying to do their job. Grow up.

[18odette]

@Q8tolate And also, the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs (etc.) or as you called them "yada yada", are a rich part of the film industry's history. They're held annually for actors, writers, directors and others to recognise their peers hard work, just like an office's "end of year" party is held, to celebrate the work of peers. But, I suppose, you've never been lucky enough to attend the Oscars or the Globes.

[Q8tolate]

@18odette why don't you just relax and laugh a little.You might actually enjoy it. Holiwood has very little relevance to the lives of most people; most understand that it is just plastic puff and bullshit. Just relax a little bit and don't take life so seriously and be prepared to call a spade a spade. Why know most so called holywood celebs are phoney

[spxeli]

@Q8tolate Most of them are laughing...

[macvatu]

This talentless mother-fucking twat should not be in the news at all; he's too pig-ugly and not funny at all !!

[TheMikeAmerica]

Poor castrated Ricky.

[YouLikeeee]

Why was this all over the news, why has it got so many reviews? Honestly why?

[toolfreak4157]

Jody Foster is awesome



[TheWatcher573]

Look how George Clooney is caught laughing on camera and then he puts on this serious face. "Oh, I'm too cool to be laughing at this. I don't want it to look like I find it funny." He's really loving it though!

[TimothyADonaghue]

I didn't find this year's nearly as funny as last year's.

[TimothyADonaghue]

You're an idiot. For the millionth time this is just his style of comedy. It's not against "anyone". @tony26531

[larengabersuit]

emma stone couldn't be more beautiful 4:03

[verbamusica]

First thought 0:04 oh god...She looks like an angel.

Second thought 4:02 OH GOD. I would sell my soul for her.

[TheSquire007]

oh dear Elton, grumpy old queen

[freejaytea]

@TheSquire007 Yeah, even KNOWING a couple of 100 million people watching, he even can't be a good sport... it's humor man! LAUGH when you *do* have a sense of humor. He obviously hasn't got one... it's kind of embarrassing to be honest... man oh man... ! Oops! Queer o Queer I meant. ;-)

[POWXR]

I've started uploading all the best clips from

RICKY STEVE AND KARL's podcasts to my channel

there absolutely hilarious, so have a look at them if you want..

(karl is my hero)

[Cypeq]

@POWXR acta will put you in jail ;-)

[YourFriendlyTroll]

@POWXR yea bullshit.

[FutureAbe]

@POWXR Youre a fucking cunt for doing that. Theyre already all up on youtube!!

[MacRief]

@POWXR Yeah FUCK you asshole! I wish your mother dies of cancer.

[thetwentythirtytwo]

@MacRief I want to get angry too but I don't know what we're getting angry about?

[RussellThePumpkin]

@POWXR Why is Karl your hero?

[sandrahatton]

testicles



[simolui]

G.G. 2010 VERY FUNNY G.G. 2011 FUNNY G.G. 2012 FUCKING BORING.... SAME JOKES SAME STORIES SAME OVERRATED PICES OF SHIT USELESS ACTORS...

[tbatt247]

2:07 I believe that is the reason why Ricky was so "soft" this year. He didn't want to be invited back. haha

[warpfield98]

i actually think Ricky is a genius. i just think he is on a mission to make regular people like us not go completely mental if we stumble across a really famous person on the street. we wouldn't think they were any different to us, just because their famous. 

[KrAZzyRobot]

I wish at the very end he said if you can't take a good joke then get the fuck out because you have absolutely no place here and are disgrace of the industry.

[tyrekickingwetdreame]

oh shut up your all cunts me included

[kamyou70]

i youtube frankie boyle couldn't understand a fucking word he was saying

[coolhandflukey]

@kamyou70 dont worry. you arent missing anything. hes crap.

[Riviews]

Frankie Muniz next year

[IrritationCharles]

He may be Britain's 'biggest' comedian, as in most famous, but he's definitely not the best. It's just he works better in America.

[TheRantingCynic]

I agree with those saying Frankie Boyle should host the Golden Globes; the only "drawback" would be that that would probably be the last Golden Globes ceremony ever due to these egotistical muppets (who make up 9/10ths of the people there) being rendered permanently incapacitated by his words. Sure, Ricky scratched at the surface; what's needed is Frankie to go the full mile and teach the narcissists some damn humility.

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

HELD BACK.

[jason591]

I think he sold out. He didnt make fun of anyone much. A 1985 Madonna joke?? Really??

[itsmegyall]

don't see what everyone is so bothered about, he's hilarious!

[electrifyingraphics]

Who in the days of wikipedia and youtube ask who someone is?

[TheOCLucyx]

@dafuksup offensive british comedian, your choice of language is interesting Monsieur...let me guess, you don't know what monsieur means?

[england1965]

They wouldn't know what hit them if Frankie Boyle rolled up

[ScarlettMMY]

HILARIOUS!! love Ricky <3

[avalanchesoul]

all these serious actors. lame.

[iloveneytiri]

whats the music at the start?? Its driving me crazy

[dorkykaya]

@iloveneytiri It's composed by Yoshiki. Search it on YouTube "yoshiki golden globe"

[MrNeoDemonix]

3:20 "I don't care." , That's why I like Ricky Gervais

[RoomForGamers]

@1968DrDoom You're the cunt mate.

[rossodinho08]

Is that Samuel L Jackson at the front or some amazing lookalike?

[kombatunit]

Emma Stone is cute.

[honeyglamourdancehug]

2:30 omg i actually wish i could see his huge... vocabulary ;)

[dbztitan]

@memphisarab I think 5:24 may be Amanda Peet.

[dbztitan]

@galleon5 4:10 is Emma Stone.

[DoctorTimmyTiddles]

@1968DrDoom Did you write that just before heading off to church?

[StasisClungeFlux]

@1968DrDoom I bet you're a bag of laughs ;}

[Iluvthgandgale]

Ricky is really funny. People who don't have a sense of humor don't know how to live. Most of the things he says are true anyway. Like he said on Ellen, it's not a room full of wounded soldiers... a bunch of spoiled rich celebs. The ones laughing get it... he is kidding. Jodi Foster is an example of having a good sense of humor!!

[rosemarypcancellieri]

HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION - NEW YORK CITY AREA - MUST SEE rosieandthecat

[quensel0]

the people that arent laughing are so nervous to be joked on i hate how fake fucking hollywood is

[Kevpew]

I nearly died on the Justin Bieber joke.

(Joke = Truth)

[MUTANTGHERKIN]

@Areopagitican Oooo someone's cranky...

[gullyridim]

Frankie Boyle next year

[Smitamas101]

@gullyridim the americans would shit themselves is Franky rocked up on their shores "what ave we got here then laddy? an award ceromony hey? looks like an extras audition for a seedy gang bang porno my nans making"

[MrCherubhair1]

@dafuksup He's a scottish comedian, he has some of the rudist comic material ever.

[fusion7419]

@MrCherubhair1 english comedian

[MrCherubhair1]

@fusion7419 Fankie boyle? No he's scottish i'm talking about someone else.

[fusion7419]

@MrCherubhair1 oh sorry, i thought you were talking about gervais :-)

[MrCherubhair1]

@fusion7419 Its fine.

[fusion7419]

@fusion7419 oh sorry, i thought you were talking about gervais :-)

[aidenmccloskey]

@dafuksup Frankie Boyle is a better comedian than Ricky Gervais. Gervais' live stand up is fucking crap in comparison to Boyle's.

[tantan627]

@dafuksup

Oh you Americans. Frankie Boyle is a Scottish comedian who was kicked off bbc for being offensive.

[Ergophile]

@dafuksup a horrible comedian (but I like him)

[BinaryFlareRC]

@dafuksup A hilarious, controversial comedian (emphasis on the hilarious).

[spooooooooons]

@dafuksup GTFO

[veryhardlad]

@dafuksup are you taking the piss

[sawmassacre13]

@dafuksup Frankie boyle is the devils incarnate ....

[IrritationCharles]

@dafuksup Youtube him

[jummacob]

@dafuksup a very, very funny man

[XOshamelessXO]

@dafuksup what? hahaha he's the funniest comedian since billy connely

[kamyou70]

@XOshamelessXO who the fuck is billy connely

[TMOTheMarkedOne]

@dafuksup

-_-

Fucking ignorant, dumbass Americans.

[ChristopherNFoster]

@TMOTheMarkedOne Ah, fuck you.

[tiger55331]

@dafuksup

The internet can answer all your questions...

[cazz3000]

@dafuksup the search bar is up there ^^^

[BinaryFlareRC]

@gullyridim I would LOVE to have Frankie host. Except the day after the ceremony, half the country would be out for his blood. The USA couldn't handle him.

[hmc117]

@gullyridim Frankie Boyle hosting would be the greatest thing EVER.

[GreenBoo91]

@gullyridim that's an awesome idea! think of the mel gibson/braveheart jokes he's come out with!!! hahaha :)

[mademan4life]

@gullyridim erm....NO!!!!!

[TheDrummist88]

@gullyridim hahahh that would be amazing 

[Cam4AfterDark]

haha its soooooo fucking funny...i love it... check out my site its funnny too..

[obiwashere]

ricky gervais for 2013 golden globes

[jasefrazz07]

i think fair play to the golden globes to ask for gervais to return ,im english and i believe its insulting to think americans cant get irony or self depreciation, the land that gave us simpsons ,curb your enthusiam and the larry sanders show maybe has a sense of itself

[VolcomHelioVids]

This is hard to masturbate to

[kraskata2012]

without the support of my family, I wouldn't be able to comment here, so 10x

[intboom]

I'm not the biggest Ricky Gervais fan, but he's been put in a very unique position and he's taking full advantage of it. You can feel the cold hatred the crowd is pouring out onto him and he isn't backing down or pulling his punches.

[misitiszt]

did u know that 69 was an even number?

[Fagottron]

I've never seen so many people with their thumbs up their asses in one room before.

[JulianissuchaG]

would of been fantastic if he came out and made his supposedly 'crude' jokes like he did last year but to a greater degree

[suveuxfication]

not funny at all ;/

[rob1pr30]

This guy below me is a tool and obviously doesnt know what hes talking about. Research PIPA and SOPA and youl find out the dangers of it. Its a threat to our freedom and youtube.

[jr73340]

Gervais is a hypocrite. He rips Mel Gibson all the time for his bigotry towards Jews, but Gervais hates Christians and regularly makes nasty comments about them.

[snowbeach1981]

@jr73340

He 'hates' all religions. :D

[TheMainEvent2k9]

@jr73340 he makes jokes there are a difference.

[akaBrilliant26]

Why do americans love rude and obnoxious Brits? Bizzare!!! Americans have a sadomasochist relationship there former colonial rulers and ancestoral fathers. Its like they enjoy being flogged by these assholes. Fuck the arrogant and pretentious jerks. The brits really think yankees r shit. But who gives a shit! Lol.

[toront01066]

Nailed the Kim Kardashian versus Kate Middleton bit!! Not as great as last year....but not bad. Loved Colin Firth's quip...outstanding.

[InXiLez]

Ricky Gervais is fucking hilarious everyone acts like what he says is just wrong but they all love it LOL

[futurecat71]

YOU SAD LOT OVER THERE IN THE UK SLAGGING OFF RICKY G WTF is wrong with u?? u should be praising him for whats he has done! 3 Golden Globe Hosts u dickheads go back 2 watching ANT and Deck miserable sods!

[FibercrazedBeauty]

Jodie Foster is a class act. Love her.

[eurosongfanserbia]

Great job Ricky!
