LB3 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) It was hilarious because it was true and his delivery was great. It's also sad because right after the show they all celebrated at their drug filled rape parties knowing that in a day no one will care. They can continue on being awful degenerates who lecture the public on the danger of straws while turning a blind eye to the worst crimes imaginable. Edited January 7, 2020 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall

Why else would he be making these outrageous jokes?!?! https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2020/01/golden-globes-ricky-gervais-doublethink-hollywood/604486/
Nextmanup Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I skipped to 6:30 and found what he had to say there fantastic and pretty hard core. That wasn't even thinly veiled as comedy, that was just good old fashioned George Carlin straight up ranting, and I love it. Maybe this is the last awards show he MCs????? Dude has huge balls and obviously enough money and success in that business to not give a F.

GETTOTHE50 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 idk if he was being sarcastic or not. i hope those were true put-downs, but i think he was poking fun at the public/viewers who believe those things. 1

Kevin Hart got blacklisted from the Oscars for telling some gay jokes back in the day. Ricky Gervais was invited to host the Golden Globes and they knew full well what he'd say. It was all a show. He's a hypocrite, but because he's a pressure release valve for the elite. Part of this is shown in his terrible context and delivery for the Epstein jokes. Ricky could do much better, but he didn't, because part of his job was to make the jokes finally induce cringe. It's a limited mock out, and a subtle message that says "we even control your dissent." He's like Carlin in the sense that Carlin was also a huge fraud.
Max Fischer Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I love Ricky Gervais, he's always good. What's just as funny is all the folks rejoicing that Gervais is putting "Hollywood" in it's place, telling truth to power in some kind of unexpected rant against whatever it is you don't like. However, Ricky's bits are nothing new, he says it EVERY year, at every forum. He goes after everyone, it's what he does best. Now the real ironic part is the people who believe Ricky went rouge. No, he was HIRED to do it, the producers would be disappointed if it didn't go viral. You could feel the rumbling as millions as channels flipped from Fox News to NBC. Mission Accomplished and it wasn't even difficult. Edited January 7, 2020 by Max Fischer

stony Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Solid. I enjoyed it better the first couple of years when he hosted. Now you know what you're going to get with him.

While I get where you’re coming from, we may need to include all satirists, from Twain to Rogers to Saul, etc., and everyone in between, as huge frauds.

Gray Beard Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I don’t understand TV these days. Other than sports, young people don’t watch TV. Old people might try to watch TV shows out of habit. TV shows seem to flaunt alternative lifestyles as a badge of honor. But old people, who are the only ones who might watch TV, don’t want to see that stuff. 2

It was almost a "resting B word face look" coupled with a "I won't talk to him tonight at the post Golden Globe party and that will show him"

Streaming TV is a whole different animal; that’s where the good stuff is.
