Ricky Gervais Opens Golden Globes By Telling Woke Hollywood To Skip The Lectures
Deadline ^ | January 5, 2020 | Greg Evans

Posted on 01/05/2020 5:50:25 PM PST by EdnaMode

Felicity Huffman, Cats, Joe Pesci, the Catholic Church, Judi Dench and James Corden got the Ricky Gervais treatment during the opening monologue of tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, but none took the brunt of the host’s jibes quite as sharply as Hollywood itself.

Casting the industry town as hypocritically woke – with a Jeffrey Epstein joke thrown in for good measure – the notoriously scathing British comic advised Golden Globe winners to skip the moralizing. Said Gervais, “Thank your agent and your God and…” The rest was bleeped, but he seemed to say something along the lines of “then get the [expletive] off the stage.”

“You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything,” Gervais cautioned. “Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”

Apple TV’s woke The Morning Show, Gervais said, was “made by a company that runs sweat shops in China.”

Individual stars didn’t get through the opening monologue completely unscathed, if none were as skewered quite so efficiently as Gervais’ former punching bag Mel Gibson. Felicity Huffman, Gervais said, made the license plate on his car, Joe Pesci looks like Baby Yoda

You are not alone. I don’t know and it sounds so juvenile.

He saves hundreds of lives from the cruel dog meat industry and I think he is funny. I love him.

Yes I saw that. Tom Hanks was totally appalled. Surprised Robert Deniro didn’t start ranting at Gervais from his seat.

I’m 62. Woke means you are “all in” with the PC, Social Justice, anti-white (especially male), anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-Constitution program.

IOW, you’re an AOC / college faculty lounge clone.

I neglected to turn the volume back on after the boring NFL playoff game and “missed” his monologue... (not really).

Ricky understands that Prince Andrew hobnobbed regularly with Epstein and Prince Harry is wedded to a daughter of Hollywood’s royalty.

Meaghan Markle is not Hollywood royalty, she is a Crenshaw hood ho.

‘Woke’ generally means that you (as an individual) walk around and want to tell folks that you are up-to-date on various social issues and continually act like you are in a paranoia state of mind. You wake up in the morning with this priority in life....with ‘fake-truths’ in your mind and charged up to change the world that you live in. In the end, all your social justice issues are neatly bundled up and you freak-out when the shininess of each turns out to be a fraud.

“I am 60 years old. What the foke does “woke” mean?”

Good grief! I’m 70 and I know what woke means, I do it every morning. Kids these days.

It means you love Herman Wouk. If you’ve seen the Caine Mutiny twenty times, you’re officially woke.

Thanks. Just watched his part...went over like poop in a punch bowl. They were already wound pretty tight because of the menu which lack any real food.

Best intro evah! Those speeches are going to be less than ten seconds without their virtue signaling.

Same here. "Woke" is when you gaze into the mirror in the morning and that ghastly creature stares back and you realize...that the mirror lies.

Thanks. A link that I tried before shut off halfway through.

My takeaway:

‘You’re in no position to lecture anyone about anything’
