Tom Hanks has turned into such a goody two shoes old fuddy duddy. ever seen a celebrity roast? what's the difference.

if people who are rich and famous can't take little jokes about themselves they can go fuck themselves - babies.

Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais has spoken about his disappearance from stage during the US awards ceremony.

The British comedian left the podium for nearly an hour, prompting viewers to question if he was being reprimanded for his jokes about the stars.

But in a statement, Gervais said: "I did every single introduction I was meant to. There just happened to be a long gap".

"The atmosphere backstage and at the after show was great," he added.

Gervais, hosting the gala for the second year in succession, opened the show in strident style saying: "It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking - or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast."

He went on to poke fun at the likes of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie and introduced Robert Downey Jr, saying "Many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail."

'Best jokes'

It prompted Downey Jr to quip: "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited, with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good so far, wouldn't you?"

Oscar winner Tom Hanks said: "We recall when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian," to which his Toy Story 3 co-star Tim Allen added: "Neither of which he is now."

In the latter part of the show, having been off stage for a lengthy period of time, a more subdued Gervais appeared, prompting speculation he had been told to tone down his act.

But Gervais insisted: "I was allowed to choose who I would introduce in advance. I obviously chose presenters who I had the best jokes for, and who I knew had a good sense of humour.

"Everyone took it well and the atmosphere backstage and at the after show was great."

US critics appeared divided, with The Los Angeles Times saying his jokes set "a corrosive tone" for the night.

But Entertainment Weekly praising "the sort of funny rudeness and effrontery... that make an awards show such as the Golden Globes engaging to watch."

Sccording to overnight viewing figures, the ceremony was seen by almost 17 million people in the US, up on last year's audience.

Not really a fan at all.

Some of his stuff is "ok", but there's just something about him which will always make me think he is just a cunt...

i just watched - i was wrong about Tom Hanks, it read differently than if you see and hear the line delivered, he took it in good humor with a good comeback.

Ever see the Ricky Gervais Show on HBO? He and two friends go in a room once a week, no script, sit around a table and blather on - I mean, are "funny" - and just ramble on for an hour. Then they give this "conversation" to some cheap-ass animaters. WHAM! More Ricky Gervais product to sell! And for what? An hour bullshitting with friends?

One the one hand, he's clever. On the other, he's a bit of self-absorbed wanker. (Just like every other actor/comedian)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. His standup was horrid. Like a cheap immitation of an Eddie Izzard routine minus the wit. I think Gervais devoted the first 45 minutes plus to putting down fat people, a group of which he as been an obvious member of until relatively recently.

One thing I liked about Gervais and his work in extras was that he seemed anti american asthetics / superficiality and the big hollywood machine. Look at him now:

Good job comitting career suicide. Now people on both sides of the pond think he's an unfunny asshole.

he is great.

the thing is he does not care.

he just goes for it.

in other news, ratings for the golden globes have gone up for the second straight year, in comparison to its usual 'static' ratings

two others i like are Jerry Sadowitz and Frankie Boyle

Frankie Boyle is fucking amazing LOL!!!

he is indeed

An Idiot Abroad was quite good.

thats it.

at the end of the day its as if he thumped a blind kid.

he made a few jokes about stars.

if you come to the uk, this type of stuff is on all the time.

i think many in the usa are far too used to everyone saying to each other how great they are.

i have noticed a few usa film stars do not get it when being interviewd. they are too used to being told how wonderfull they are. but in the uk we rip people to shread and the film stars love it.

for example dame edna, and many others humiliate there guests, but they love it.

i think this type of comerdy is not somthing people are used to in the usa.

Hugh Hefner just tweeted a few seconds ago:

"Jokes about age will begin to seem lame as we all begin to live longer, fuller lives."

Mr. Hefner is obviously not amused at the Gervais' antics last night.

who cares what the silly old fart thinks.

his fame is long gone.

that's because you're an idiot that makes assumptions.

i have seen a lot of usa stand up, and its not that good.

the sitcoms are fantastic, but stand up is just all the same.

even when somone does some good stuff they just repeat the same jokes, such as emo philips, each time i have seen him its the same gags each time.

i have seen the usa roasts which seem to have started too in the uk, but its not as sharp to me.

we have for years mocked everyone and everything. we woulkd burn the union jack for a giggle. this is not somthing you would do in the usa.

what ricky did was great. he pushed the bounderies. to bew honest there are many uk comics who would consider that mild, and would be far more insulting and ruder.

I enjoyed Robert DeNiros bashing of the foreign hollywood association more than rickys quips!!

just stop posting you have ZERO idea what you are talking about, if you did you would know that chris rock and billy crystal both hosted awards ceremonies and insulted the crowds, albeit they were funny whereas gervias last nite was not.

moreover, the following is a short list of american comedians who's schtick is to insult

* Andrew Dice Clay
* Billy Crystal
* Bob Hope
* Don Rickles
* Fred Allen
* Jeff Duran
* Redd Foxx
* Greg Giraldo
* Kathy Griffin
* Sam Kinison
* Lisa Lampanelli
* Jackie Mason
* jeffrey ross
* triumph the insulting dog

Guarantee that is the case, I spose it is hard for Ricky Gervais to compete with the comedy genius of porn beer.

Frankie Boyle is a prick of the highest order. Total and utter scum.

Actually, i agree with divvy but then american stand-up is very different to the British style, Brits are much slower and its more like hearing stories while the american style is much, much faster. I'd much rather listen to Lee Evans or Al Murry than any u.s. stand-up.

EDIT - i mean i agree that i'd prefer to see UK stand up, not the bit about shock comedians

do you mean bob hope the londener?

you will be claiming charly chaplin and Stan Laurel were american too. he he.

but glad you recognise the british are best.

its nothing to be ashamed of. chances are your originaly from britain.

you do not need to be defensive, we (the british) are best after all. lets face it when we ran countries they were great. we even set your america up. its a shame when we handed it over to you lot, you put it into trillions of dolloars of debt. but do not worry, simply admit your wrong and we will rule you again and sort your debt out.

ps

tv = british
www = british
everything great = british

wow, you are completely fucking retarded.

true

i think usa sitcoms are great. i think many are far better than uk ones. we have had some good stuff such as peep show and farther ted, but to be honerst i think many usa shows are just better. i love taxi, cheers, frazer as well as the cartoons such as king of the hill and so on. fantastic. plus while we do 6 shows at a time they make maky in one go. its often so well done. i can watch married with children over and over. and classics such as sergent bilko.

but usa stand up is crap. once you have seen there act, often its repeated.

i have seen chris rock doing stand up. love him in films, but as for as stand up, its dull. and billy cristal is bland.

by the way one of the best usa shows i have seen is curb your enthousam. fatastic.

i consider laral and hardy the best. and abbot and cotelo two of the finest ever. in fact that basball thing they do is arsome.

i am not having a go at the usa. i am just sayingf stand up sucks, but the sit coms are amazing.

i think often in the usa it seems to be comerdy actors who do standup. they seem to go from doing tv shows or films to a bit of stand up. and as such things go relitivly easy for them.

in the uk, stand ups, are basicly stand ups.

ricky is one of the few that do both stand up, and sitcoms.

many in the uk have gone through a long haul tolearn there art. ie, they will have done many years in clubs (working mens clubs and so on) where they will get abuse from customers.

some got into it as they were also entertainers while in the army during the war (ww2) such as peter sellers. though he later became an actor.

such as benny hill went around the world to study it. he even tought himself french and spoke it perfectly so he could watch french acts.

i think the british do it more as an art form, rather than simply (as what i seem to see those in the usa do) simply read a few prepared written gags.

i do not think american stand ups come from a poverty backgrtound that many british ones do.

often through life british comedians suffer with such as drink, like tony handcock.

amercan stand up is rather middle class.

but as i say american sit coms are fantastic.

one of the best shows ever was the original muppets as it mixed american writting with the british guests (as it was shot in the uk).

I don't know why this is becoming a US v UK comedy arguement.

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.

ex-fucking-actly.

it wasn't funny, nor was it shocking. old and tired.

A few millionaire actors got their feelings hurt. Big deal.

This stupid matter has propelled a serious debate?? Damm!!
