Did Gervais get a bollocking?

Post by wub » Mon Jan 17, 2011 1:46 pm

For the first part of the Golden Globes last night, he was fucking hilarious;
  • "It was a big year for 3D movies. Toy Story, Despicable Me, Tron. It seems like everything this year was three-dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist. I already feel bad about that joke. I'm jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven't even seen The Tourist. Who has?
  • I'd like to quash the rumours that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press can hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason - they also accepted bribes.
  • "I Love You Phillip Morris stars Jim Carey and Ewan McGregor - two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So, the complete opposite of some famous scientologists. Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke."
  • "I was sure the Golden Globe for special effects would go to the team that airbrushed [the Sex and the City 2] poster. Girls, we know how old you are. I saw one of you in an episode of Bonanza."
  • On Jennifer Lopez - "She's just Jenny from the block. If the block in question is that one on Rodeo Drive between Cartier and Prada."
  • On multi-millionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg: "Heather Mills calls him the one that got away."
  • While introducing Robert Downey Jr - "Many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail."
But then he went AWOL for about an hour, and when he came back he massively toned it down :(

apparently "he'll never work in hollywood again"
American film producer Harvey Weinstein joked that Gervais would "not make it out of town tonight".

He said: "There are seven people that we've hired to kill him and deservedly so.

"Knowing that Ricky Gervais will never work again means a lot to me, I'm going to make sure of it."

The King's Speech director Tom Hooper said: "Do you know how edgy he was?

"LA is a careful town - my God he was unbelievable.

"I thought he was hilarious but will he ever present another award show again? I don't know but if he went out, he went out burning."

Australian actor Guy Pearce joked: "He could have gone further, I think there were a few more lines to cross."

I'll embrace the day when Americans appreciate the dry quick wittedness of English humor. That shit just does not translate well across the pond.

Not sure if you watched the video, but it went down incredibly well. De Niro's face says it all -

Props to Gervais. Watched the opening monologue on the Guardian site this morning. -w-

De Niro's face at the Hefner joke had me creasing.
"...we now pause to test the soul of the Steppenwolf"

What the fuck did they book him for, did they think he was just going to tell knock knock jokes?

Funny, scientology gag was lame though, De Niro cracked me up too.

De Niro gets British humour though. There was a clip of him a few years back doing an impression of one of the Big Brother contestants on some talk show over here; the man is clued up way more than RDJr, Hanks/Allen and any of the other 'stars' that turned their nose up at some banter.
