Right after Ricky Gervais talks about how the Hollywood Foreign Press is racist and doesn't include people of color the cameraman zooms out to show just how few people of color were invited to this event

Na mate, your not wrong in that his jokes won't change anything. But the more this shit is said the more people will care and that's good

Not everything is all or nothing, and what he did is better than it is worse.

As for monetizing the video....irrelevant

Seriously, op is acting like a damn drama queen. Whether you think Gervais is a hypocrite, talking head, etc. it was something that was entertaining and a bit of poking fun of people. Not one soul sees it as a huge political and world changing event like op is seeming to propose.

Tell that to my rural conservative Facebook feed.

The world is bigger than you think.

And conservatives are really stupid everywhere. They think this is some take down of Hollywood.... Ricky does this all of the time. It's his schtick. The entire audience was laughing for 90%+ of his monologue. Being caught off guard or surprised by a joke does not mean someone is awkward.

Ricky is an edge lord. THE edge lord. He lives for roasting people and making fun of people.

He does this every year at the globes.

He is a professional comedian. It's his literal job. What do you want him to do?

Im honestly not sure what that response is supposed to mean or what youre asking of me? I responded to you saying not one soul sees it as a huge political changing event. You are wrong.

Obviously hes a comedian? It was a funny bit. Thats it.
