what's wrong? you didn't find his jokes funny?... everyone's a fruit & nut case | |

I thought he was a really good host even though some of his jokes came off as mean and cruel, but shucks...he did tell the truth after all. Guess people still can't handle it in this day and age. Otherwise if he'd conformed to Hollywood's boring fascade of acing "properly" that show would had been even more boring than what it already was. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Well so much for that.

Anyhoo, I didn't find him, all that funny but I didn't find him all that offensive either. When did Hollywood, of all places, get so thin-skinned?
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

I didn't watch it live, but I don't see anything wrong with the clip. I think he's a funny guy. And screw the stars who can't take a joke. Not to mention the Golden Globes/Foreign Press, who are a joke in and of themselves. | |

the few bits I saw were funny. I can not belive all the cry babies that are made over it. *but I did not see all of it*
if you do not want jokes told about how much you drink or party or hire hookers or do drugs...then do not do them! it is easy. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

He's funny. Celebrity is ridiculous anyway right? He's better than many of those movies! | |

I tend to alternate between loving Ricky Gervais and thinking he is a complete twat? What you don't remember never happened | |

Some of it was a bit mean & unfunny, like the stuff about the Tourist.
But the Tim Allen remark was pretty funny, if totally cruel. And the one about Sandra Bullock, Hugh Hefner..very funny! My Legacy

I take it back, that was funny when he said "it must be good because it's nominated, so shut up!" My Legacy

from a guy who has made a career of writing & playing characters who say things that makes everyone in the room totally uncomfortable, what did they expect? My Legacy

I thought most of it was a over the top, unfunny and cruel. He mentioned Robert Downey Jr.'s drug problems, when those were quite a while ago.
Most of all though, it seemed awkward - as if he was writing it on the spot. | |

I didn't watch.. - and I don't like "jokes" that go too far... so it would probably piss me off..
but I just came across this.. http://www.someecards.com...den-globes
and wondered how many ppl talking about him and whatever insults he said, fail to recognize when they do it to others... Hag. Muse. Web Goddess. Taurean. Tree Hugger. Poet. Professional Nerd. Geek.

Yeah, those were funny. The only one I didn't like was about Robert Downey.
Anyways, I never heard of this guy till I saw him on the news. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

the Robert Downey one is a little dated at this point. That was a long time ago.
Ricky Gervais is big, but not so much in America. Check out Extras, very good show. My Legacy

I thought last year was funny, but found this year to be much more mean-spirited (although still very funny most of the time). I think that's why they usually don't have people host these things every year. Give them a year or two off in between to let more "stuff" happen in the world. That way he could have been more topical and less personal. | |

I don't see what the big deal is. the "hollywood foreign press" is a sham. know who one of the hollywood foreign press is?...a writer for a russian weightlifting magazine. Pia Zadora once won for best actress for her role in the movie butterfly, because her husband bought the press off. | |

What does that have to do with busting the balls of the people in the room and/or the presenters? He wasn't ripping on the HFP. | |

Ricky Gervais has caught alot of unmerited (in my opinion) criticism for his jokes at the GG's. As with the Oscars, I'm not sure just how much input he had as to the jokes, and I think they got what they paid for. The GG's is supposed to be more 'freewheeling" than the oscars | |

I get the feeling that what worked last year was the same thing that people thought went too far this year. It's refreshing when people say what we're all thinking, but it's walking a fine line.
But I thought he was funny this year too, but maybe he was trying just a bit too hard. My Legacy

If I'm being completely honest, I think RDJ's a smug, pretentious, disingenous douchebag, so I enjoyed it. If the joke was at the expense of somebody I liked, I'd probably feel differently.
In other words: I'm human.
Most of these skin-puppets (great word for which I cannot take credit) take themselves way too fucking seriously. You recite a bunch of lines that somebody else wrote (usually in a manner that would never pass for naturalistic, in a real environment) and you probably got the job because you happened to 'hit the genetic jackpot' (as Angie Everhart so astutely put it). ...Not to mention that most scripted films and TV shows are probably, ultimately, harmful to the populace, anyways.
So, suck it up, folks. If you didn't realize that the slings and arrows were not sold separately from the outrageous fortune, there's certainly nothing keeping you in the game.
I think it was Ivette, from Big Brother 6 (US) - one of my favorite seasons - who said, "'Tough titty,' said the kitty, 'but the milk's still good.'? | |

Dont really care for him as a comedian... Change it one more time.. | |

I don't think he really is a comedian, he is more of a writer & actor, but he did do a comedy show that was excellent (if you like his style, which not everyone does) My Legacy
