Sounds like he was offended by the backlash of the globes and is lashing back like an emotionally distressed teenager
manygeeses
I'm not at all offended, but I don't think "U MAD?" is automatically good comedy or a witty retort. Plz at least channel a fresher meme.
jeryjesuitical
"Now our next presenter is the star of the HILARIOUS comedy The Martian" made me crack up though.
EarendilTheBlessed
caitlyn killed a man and deserves no ones respect
grambonator
I'm not offended by him, but I do think he is a giant douche more often than not.
themrJRF
Another great quote from Ricky "Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right"
Threewisemen
Remember that Southpark episode where people who drive Prius start smelling their own farts? 1st thing i think of when I hear Ricky Gervais.
Writersmonstersandthelike
For someone who doesn't care whether or not he offends someone, he sure does spend a lot of time whining about it.
CollapsingStarRoaringCannon
he probably has a thousand notifications an hour from the super offended social media squad hounding him for an apology.
BlueStringsAttached
I generally don't like Gervais' social commentary, but his Jenner comment was beautiful and Jenner had it coming.
EconomySizedHuman
Yes! Woman of the year? She killed an innocent person. Can I get away with neglect homicide if I get a sex change?
gamblingpoet
She was Woman of the Year in a goddamn Glamour magazine. Not really a high standard of journalism there.
TallDude
This feels like a guy that specifically aims to offend people, just so he can act high-and-mighty when they call him on his bullshit.
jsktrogdor
He made a point of saying that he joked about sticking his Golden Globe up his ass and they still invited him to host it four times.
CatSnakePlissken
I get the feeling his sass is the only reason anybody even cares about the GG anymore. He's the John Waters to the GG's chicken crushign sex
gringissimo
That whole routine was hilarious.
DetectiveJohnKimball
they expect it. it's gets viewers. they know what they're doing.
lucusmarcus
Only reason I watched
jsktrogdor
They also dont let being offended get in the way of a good joke.
Suzushiiro
Pretty much. That's also probably why Steve Harvey got invited back to Miss Universe- his fuckup brought more attention to the show.
IGoogledThat
Watching the clips of his 'goof' was the most of any Miss Universe pageant I've ever seen in my life. I really wasn't sure they still did it

Well a joke about Bill Cosby is automatically a rapist one
TehSticc
Savage
SantasAnagram
Becoming a rapist is a terrible choice, as is driving drunk and killing someone. Both things are therefore fair comedic punching bags.
Raiythe
Never found him offensive but never found him all that funny either.
wadatahmydamie
But he's so edgy. Did you know he's an atheist?
Raiythe
Lol i think edgy would be making those jokes if you weren't an atheist.
wadatahmydamie
No disagreement there
SaintPhoeniix
He's usually annoying on Twitter but he has a point. The world isn't going to stop just because you were offended.
SomeDetroitGuy
I find him the most annoying when he had a point.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
Lol, pretty sure @SaintPhoeniix was talking about Ricky, not Bruce.
SomeDetroitGuy
Yes - Ricky Gervais is most annoying when he has a point. He's always an asshole but he's easily dismissed when he's not making a good point
khaleesimotherofkittycats
The thing about Jenner is that there's plenty of things to make fun of her for/ dislike her for, being trans shouldn't be one of them. That
khaleesimotherofkittycats
being said if the joke doesn't focus on her being trans than it's not insensitive to the trans community, it's insensitive to the asshole
khaleesimotherofkittycats
community which I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that that's fair game.
HooRoo2U
The punchline was a witty way to say that her fame didn't stop her from killing someone while text/driving. The focus wasn't on being trans.
khaleesimotherofkittycats
Yes I know

AndSoAdInfinitum
After all, you've never been annoyed by anyone's words, words like 'That upset me', right?
Corin
Controlling your emotions is a horrible thing to do. Done be controlled, don't control, just feel.
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
To be clear: I like him and am not "offended". I just didn't think he was very funny that night. The "FU all" schtick gets kinda old...
grovberg
Literally the only thing I've read about the Globes is how desperate Gervais was to say something shocking and how one actually cares.
BustaCrhymes
That shit isn't funny. It's not edgy or cool either. It just makes you sound whiney for attention.
samsonguy920
It seems he's come to the point where he only tries to be funny by being offensive. That's just overdoing it and kills the fun in it.
GeorgeoftheDongle

Offence is not given, it is taken.
SafetyWank
The thing is you can't word it that way because people will deliberately misunderstand the sentiment.
popejubal
Sometimes it goes both ways.
ConsumateVees
Ricky Gervais cares a fuckton about animals and gives zero fucks about Hollywood elite.
RLLondon
That's how him gets noticed
SpaceKen
Jenner isn't Hollywood elite tho... more Kardasian trash.
thebiglebowskifromaustralia
Kartrashian
SafetyWank
Can we say Jenner is trash without being called '-phobic'? They're all trash that literally do nothing.
ImDisappointedInMyFavorites
Correct
GandalfUnicorn
Which is still Hollywood elite, whether we like it or not.
tractorharvester
Jack Nicholson is Hollywood elite, the Kardashians will be finished in 5 yrs so are just Hollywood, like Lindsy Lohan or Charlie Sheen.
GandalfUnicorn
Lohan has been around for the better part of two decades, Sheen longer and still going. Kardashian, a decade, 3+ shows + entrepreneurship.
tractorharvester
So what, that doesn't really matter. You wouldn't call Limp Bizkit music elite (alongside e.g. RHCP) and they've been big for 2 decades.
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
The only thing I care about when it comes to Caitlin Jenner is the fact that Family Guy literally "predicted" that Bruce Jenner was (1)
eiger3970
Well, Married With Children 'predicted' that in 1996 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADiq-EYObkM
JudgeNotByTheColorOfOnesSkinButByTheContentsOfOnesDumps
Family Guy predicts a bunch of stuff. Be careful treading down that rabbit hole though.
CapitalSeven
Doesn't Simpsons "predict" a bunch of stuff too?
MrE158
Yeah, they nailed Star Wars Ep. VII going head-to-head with the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
a woman. They made multiple jokes about Bruce Jenner being a woman long before it actually happened. Shit still blows my mind lol.(2)
Pimmsoclock
LOl seriously?? Ive only just started watching the show (yeah yeah I know)
pIanetarysociety
they didn't predict anything...

skelitor120
Rumors about Bruce Jenner's sexuality/preferences have been circulating for awhile. Him becoming a She was not a surprise.
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
Didn't know who Bruce Jenner was prior to sex change. Read the other comments bro.
skelitor120
That.. doesn't really change that rumors were circulating and that Family Guy isn't anything special for predicting
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
? If I didn't know who bruce jenner was, why would I have any knowledge of those rumors? and who said family guy was special?
whoistrollingwhom
Bruce was talking about doing it since the 80s. They aren't psychic. You're just not very well informed.
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
Oh, well considering that I was born in the early 90's and didn't even know who Bruce Jenner was until the sex change. Then yeah.
LeedsManc
Just who is trolling whom here?
RaynSideways
To be fair, not being informed about Bruce Jenner isn't exactly a tragedy. I didn't know either until the net exploded about him.
SnufflesIsMySlaveNameYouCanCallMeSnowball
Thank you my point exactly lol
TheSirCharlesBarkley
I generally don't like Ricky but hard not to agree with his points. Been offended doesn't give you any special rights.
eirebadboy
Good luck to him doing a stand up show, there is no way he's capable of producing a decent one from up his own ass.
pokenar
Indeed, as I've said before, just because someone's being an asshole does not prevent them from also being correct.
54r4h
I agree with you. Ricky has good points and he makes interesting media. But he's still a bit of a cunt.
IFoundOutICanChangeMyUsernameSoNowYoullNeverKnowWhoIWas
Was about to say this. A lot of times he comes off as an ass but this time he's cool.
edissick
Comedian Gervais is awesome but Twitter Gervais is pure internet troll. Ducking abysmal
memesis
It's a balancing act, because being offensive doesn't automatically make someone funny, interesting, or right either.
skelitor120
That's a very good point. In this context however, absolutely nothing he was saying was actually offensive or edgy.
Euronyme
You could say he seems offended that people are offended though ^^
TheSirCharlesBarkley
At least he isn't expecting special treatment. He sounds more irritated at people who are offended and expecting some sort of apology.
Euronyme
He's irritated with people who are irritated with him - because they're irritated....He's basically just a bored troll on social media.

This. For a guy who supposedly doesn't care if he offends people, he spends a lot of time whining about it on Twitter.
WeylandAve
I love Ricky, but suspect that imgur will take this attitude of his to justify their far less funny racism and sexism.
SafetyWank
Calling jokes racism and sexism is part of what this is against. Being 'offended' rather than accepting that people are joking.
WeylandAve
Fine and good accept some people decide whether or not they are joking by how people respond to their racist or sexist outbursts.
WeylandAve
And for thise people "just joking" becomes their get out of trouble free card when really they should be called out for cruel opini
WeylandAve
And for those people "just joking" becomes their get out of trouble free card when really they should be called out for their prejudice.
SafetyWank
So the better alternative is to call everyone racist or sexist even if they're obviously joking about it so no one says anything at all?
WeylandAve
No. Just take it case by case like everything else in life. Its not so hard to tell the difference. Usually the actual joke is funny.

Idk, seems like the joke is just that she's publicly changed a lot, not making fun of her for BEING trans. Could be worse

Joking about everything she's done for the trans community, etc: "She hasn't done much for women drivers, though..."

She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes.
4noku
No she didn't.
induren
And running people over with a car.
Kitakita
She has money. She has fame. None of that is bravery. She's hurt trans issues by turning it into a fucking carnival ride. She's no hero.
whoistrollingwhom
Most of the trans community hates her for being two-faced, and her dysphoria being questionable. She didn't break down any barriers, either.
azarza
Two-faced? Im surprised that isnt extremely insulting
morgainn21
No, no she didnt. Just because she's trans doesn't make her a good person.
sddh
She didn’t do a lot for women drivers, but you can't have everything, can you?" End. I think its delightful

That is literally the least transphobic Bruce Jenner joke I've ever heard. Fucking people...

It was really good. Not offensive at all to anyone, either. Except for maybe Caitlyn's victims families.

feraldelirium
Yeah she did do something for us she killed a person in a car wreck
erockinit
(1) The joke isn't even about her being trans. It's about women being bad drivers. If anything it's sexist, not transphobic. And even then
erockinit
(2) it's nothing to get upset over. Good lord people are oversensitive.
janicefromfriendslefttitty
The only people that should be offended by that are bad drivers.
jsktrogdor
Exactly, like women.

That's surprisingly good for Ricky Gervais. I was expecting actual transphobic shit. This is just mild sexism, and not even really that.

It was in reference to the fact that Jenner killed somebody in a car accident not too long ago

No, that her becoming a woman didn't help the women's driving cause.
