If you want to skip ahead to the 6:30 mark go ahead. The whole monologue is quite funny. 
 

Refreshing to hear these comments in re. Hollywood elites!! (Note Tom Hanks’ facial expressions at the 7 +/- minute mark.). 
 

ummmmm, he is that of which he speaks

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. He has to get buy on 'shock value' because he has nothing else anymore. 

 

Agreed, Gervais is a dillhole and fails to see how he falls under the same category but he did nail it.

Just as those in Washington, D.C. .... these are all feathers of the same bird.

Jokes, people...

 

You act as though you're taking him seriously.

 

That was funny.

before you laugh you have to make sure everyone is okay with it, requiring that you research everything that joke teller said for his/her entire life and that nobody was ever offended

 

or if those around you declare the person safe or nice or liked, then it's okay even if it's the vilest racism ever said

What leads you to believe that I’m unaware based on what I posted? I understand jokes and even ironic ones. If you think it was funny, good on you. If you found it unfunny, good on you.

 

but...for many to glom onto that one segment and say “oh, my god, he killed it & he is so right” is showing that they, themselves, do not get it.

Color me confused. I must be the idiot in the room.

You pointed out that he was being hypocritical, showing that you can't just sit here and enjoy a joke. 

 

I'm glad you get it.

So, because I point out hypocrisy it means I can’t take a joke. So nice of you to make these decisions for me. Much less for me to worry about.

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.

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.

Some critics have no F**king clue. 

 

They reach the correct conclusion for the wrong reasons.

 

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.

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.

I, for one, was fooled. The reaction by Tom Hanks (who I like as an actor) told me many in the audience were fooled as well.

Well, the room was indeed full of the industry's best actors.

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.

What, exactly, did you see in Hanks’s reaction other than bemusement?

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.

like a 48 hour movie that keeps on getting another season

Perhaps I’m thinking that people don’t watch much on network TV. 

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