      Rickey Gervais' humor is frequently un-PC? Who could possibly have known?https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1214018825408131072 …

          Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Matt Brennan

          The people who yammer about the need for comedians to 'speak truth to power' or 'afflict the comfortable' get very uncomfortable when a comedian is "out of step" with wealthy celebrities who just want to be "earnest."https://twitter.com/thefilmgoer/status/1214067208302710784 …

          Dan McLaughlin added,

          Matt BrennanVerified account @thefilmgoer
          Ricky Gervais' cynicism was out of step on a night when nearly everyone seemed eager, even desperate, for earnest political change. Read @LorraineAli's smart, pungent review of the #GoldenGlobes, for @latimes: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-01-05/golden-globes-ricky-gervais-host-political-speeches …

          Isn’t this the definition of Punching Up? Don’t we *have* to be ok with this?

          Ricky Gervais probably saved Hollywood with his opening monologue.

          He was in the room with the powerful, and he called out the powerful. That's what comedy is supposed to be about.
