i love ricky gervais

[mahg33ta]

I thought he was brilliant last night.  Some reviews are saying his jokes fell flat or went too far, but it was the highlight of the show for me.   

[ynwa]

didn't watch last night but read a headline this morning that some felt he "went too far".  man, i wish i'd tuned in - he cracks me up!  he was on conan the other night & the banter btwn the 2 had me howling.

   

[el_chode]

supposedly his first idea was to enter dressed as hitler and open with the lines "what, too far? this is the last time I borrow a suit from Mel Gibson"

[BH]

He was friggin' hilarious.  He took a shot at almost every person that was presenting and most of them took it in stride but not all.   People, especially celebs, should realize that if you just laugh at yourself, people love you for it.   If you get offended, it does not help.   And definitely DO NOT try to take shots back at Ricky.  He WILL win THAT battle! ;D

Ricky was hilarious and bold last night. Tim Allen, Bruce Willis, Stallone etc... looked genuinely pissed when he introduced them.

I loved Paul Giamatti's speech the best (of the acceptance monologues).

[Penny Lane]

i have loved David Brent/Ricky Gervais since the beginning of time....he was hysterical last night. Nothing like insulting the overinflated egos of Hollywood 

PS   love the emoticons!!

PSS   the only way i got thru that dreadful show was lp's tweets, i can't handle Hollywood parades without smart ass comments..

[darkglow]

lol at bruce willis getting pissed....

[darkglow]

Ricky Gervais in amazing award show moment.

[BH]

You know who else looked pissed?   The president of the Golden Globes.   ;D

That might be the last time Ricky hosts. 

[wolof7]

People really applauded Mel Gibson?

For me...too soon

[darkglow]

they had to know what to expect.. it's not like this is uncanny behavior for ricky or anything.

i just think it's a sign of the times. in this information age these celebs can no longer hide the bad things that happen to them and the bad things they do like they used-ta-could. all they can depend on is that someone is going to goof up even worse and maybe the attention will shift off of them.

the typical couch potato american is flooded with so much gossip and drama that something that happened 2 years ago is very hard to recollect.. but gervais just threw it all at once back out into the open. bravo!

He's brilliant and the only thing better than his one-liners during the Golden Globes was Christian Bale's epic hair/beard combo.

People who get mad about Ricky Gervais need their heads examined. Watch "Extras" and you'll understand his type of humor. The man is a genius and had me rolling. "I'd like to thank God for making me an Athiest." Classic.

One of the best scenes from Extras:

Mrs Ralph was quite taken with the hairy Christian Bale, which is fine cause I was quite taken with January Jones so it all equals out.

And Ricky should be commended on his performance, 'twas too funny. I love Deniro's reaction to the Hefner wanking bit...

[vespachick]

Ill say it again, I heart Ricky Gervais. :P

Lord yes.  Lord YES.  Is he gonna be in a George Harrison biopic?  Man is a stone fox.

Hollywood is too self-important; Ricky was brilliant. 

[darkglow]

i cant stop watching that mel gibson introduction.. every time i see mel gibson with his lips pursed and eyes all big saying "alright.." i just laugh straight from the gut

Oh yes.  Yes.    These shoes are amazing.

[ralph]

She wears them well. Christina would wear them better though! Sigh...

"Unemployment" according to this article. Looks good on him.

Unemployment didn't do that for me, I lost hair and got fat(ter)...
