That’s such an X-Pro II thing to say.

I personally view everything through Valencia.

I agree. I thought it seemed like he didn’t think he should be introducing Mel Gibson at all (because Mel Gibson shouldn’t have been there), and the unfortunate situation was NBC’s fault...and then that bit about “We know who Mel blames” was perfect.

I haven’t watched the show, but the clip above was brilliant. “We know who Mel is blaming” was just one of the knives he put into MB’s side. Truly truly not getting the bile in this article, unless the rest of the show was 100% different from this clip.

Wasn’t it obvious that Ricky thinks Mel is a complete ass and he delighted in being able to express that to his face. Especially with the Shalom tag at the end of the show.

Yeah, I mean, I’m not on board with them either, but I’m thinking that’s the reason he made them. The point I agree with, the jokes I do not.

Yes. He was great.

Gervais just ended the show by saying ’From me and Mel Gibson ‘Shalom!’

Wait...what? Gervais a) isn’t racist b) has a VERY dry sense of humour c) almost certainly thinks Mel’s a racist arsehole.

Yeah, they didn’t “yuck it up like a couple of old racists”, he pretended to do that so that he could deliver the line. The entire point of that bit was that he wasn’t sorry at all and he actually doubled down on the idea that Gibson is a piece of shit. There’s a lot to hate Gervais for, but this is isn’t it. As you…

I find your assessment of Ricky Gervais to be offensively bad.
