The problem is that a comedian should not host the golden globes. No one can take a joke. Everyone wants him to be simultaneously more funny and less offensive. We should see if we can get that north korean reporter in the pink to just read the results for you people.

Can you guys imagine if Lenny Bruce was alive today? Gawker Media would HATE him.

The stuff from the previous Ricky Gervais bashing article that Ricky tweeted was valid (short version: If you don’t like me don’t watch)

This:

I like Ricky Gervais and his humor. And honestly, all the hate and outrage he gets here on this site just makes me shake my head.

And 100% of men in all professions have been told the same.

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.

It’s so far off the mark that I’m wondering if she’s joking

Yes. He was great.

Fuck you. Ricky Gervais is a god send compared to all of these stale cock strokers. Maybe Anne Hathaway and Franco are more up your alley.

Yeah, I think this is the biggest thing contributing to the hatred of Ricky. His humour is just not familiar to the Golden Globes crowd. Some can step up and catch it but...

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.

Did Gervais go on a racist tirade I’m not aware of? That’s a lot of venom towards him to just not find him funny.

What are you talking about? His comment about Affleck when introducing Matt Damon was hilarious.

I mean, if you watch just this video, it looks like he’s laughing at something someone said to him off-camera and wasn’t paying attention to the proceedings at all.

I'm so sorry that, even as adults, some of us are still able to appreciate and respect the things that brought us joy as children, Kara.

You're like the Hamilton Nolan of milk. That's not a good thing.

Counterpoint: There is no better snack food than chocolate milk.

If you're trying to be funny, it's kinda lame. If you're trying to be serious... it's kinda lame. Sorry love.
