Good old Ricky. :lol: 8)

Highlights of his hosting include:

"If you win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. If you win an award, come up, thank your agent and your God and fuck off."

About James Corden:
"... The world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy. He was also in the movie Cats. "

"We were going to do an In Memoriam section, but when I saw the list of people who had died this year, it wasn't diverse enough. It was mostly white people. And I thought, 'No, not on my watch.''

The Golden Globes: Ricky Gervais 'nailed it'

Post by lambrini »

Last night the great and the good of the acting world quaffed champagne and ate 'plant-based' haute cuisine while virtue signalling and performing a circle-jerk. Do as we say, plebs, not what we do.
Hollywood has never been more irrelevant, arrogant and out-of-touch with reality. Hurrah for comedic truth – stone me, what a life! – and Gervais' dry British wit.

About his show on Netflix, Afterlife, about a man contemplating suicide after his wife's death.

"Spoiler alert. There's a season two, so in the end he didn't kill himself. Just like Jeffrey Epstein. <disgruntled murmuring from well heeled woke crowd> Shut up. I know he was your friend but I don't care. Yeah, you had to make your own way here in your own plane this time, didn't ya?! " :lol: 8)

How he keeps getting the gig is beyond me! Calling Marty too short for fairground rides was funny. De Niro certainly thought so.

Well in a way he nailed it, but he's part of the system he is berating. So it's a bit hypocritical.

Isn’t that the point? He’s holding a mirror up to the business and saying, ‘fuck you, if you don’t like it stop coming/hiring me’. But they continue to come and they continue to hire him and he demands more money...and so on. He’ll turn the mirror on himself and tell you he’s a hypocrite. He has reached a level of freedom few experience.

Amazing, some Twatters are saying this is ''right wing'' comedy :lol:

I wasn't that bothered about Gervais until I saw Afterlife, which I thought was incredibly well done.
