Jimbo 175 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm not his biggest fan but it seems Hollywood has thrown a huge hissy-fit after Ricky Gervais' hosting of the Golden globes, I've sat through a few of his stand up DVD's and found them dull as fuck but last night I thought he was hilarious, but it seems Hollywood seems to miss the British sense of humour when it comes to being able to laugh at yourself.

toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ricky Gervais is a comic for toffs and the gay community. He reminds me of David Walliams, a cat pissing in your shoe is more funny. Only reason he got the job was because of the office and other people wrote that for him.

Thought it was a thinly disguised rabid attack personally. It is funny but it is also very scary for the audience who are smiling cause they have no choice.

Only reason he got the job was because of the office and other people wrote that for him. How is he for toffs? I think you're confusing intelligence tbh. Plus, saying the only reason he got the job is because of the office is pointless. All comics, actors get roles on the back of something else they've done. Surely a comic like yourself acknowledges that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4415 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've now read a few of his jibes and think they were all pretty tame - any celebs that complained really need to look at themselves. Does Downey think nobody knows about his problems or does he just think you shouldn't be allowed to joke about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Downey think nobody knows about his problems or does he just think you shouldn't be allowed to joke about it? I was surprised at him taking the huff. He seems like a decent bloke so to get all precious like that was a bit disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was strangest was that he complained about the tone....and then announced the best actress nominees in terms of how much he'd like to fuck each and every one of them. Classy.

luckyluke 2 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not that I'm one to defend American celebrities but you can see why they got a bit pissed off. I like how after he says all the Sex and the City girls were airbrushed you see one of the blokes from the film laugh and nod as if to say "he's got a point."

sniffer 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'd like to see him do something like a PFA dinner or awards. Load of material there with everything you'd want sex, drugs, men on boys even down to Pleat and toilets in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
