apuszczalowski Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Not saying he is wrong, but Gervais is such a pompous ass, he just goes around acting holier then everyone while complaining about everyone else doing the same.

The Poojer Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 while it was a bit refreshing to hear, keep in mind the speech was on the teleprompter and probably completely vetted before hand, so my guess it was a bit of tongue in cheek on his part trying to make it look like he cares.

LB3 Posted January 7, 2020 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted January 7, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted January 7, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
