It's not that American's don't love a good joke at another person's expense, they do- especially when it's at the expense of a celeb, but all Gervais did was take pot shots.

Dragging up Robert Downey Jr.'s drug habbit is cheap. When he made his comeback he took his lumps, was the butt of more than a few jokes, but it's been years. It's old news. Even the Charlie Sheen joke was stale. As a one liner it was a decent quip, but to then go into the play by play of the hotel room incident which took place months ago is flogging a dead horse.

Fuck, after watching his opening I almost think a bottom feeder like Perez Hilton could do a better job. At least the ribs would be current.
