From dropping the F-bomb to semi-outing Jodie Foster, Ricky brought the funny as he went after Hollywood. Check out our favorite moments!
Ricky Gervais was amazing as host of the 2012 Golden Globes, and once again he held nothing back while going after Hollywood royalty. Check out our choice jokes below and tell us YOUR favorite!
- On Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek: “They’re ridiculously gorgeous specimens, and probably very interesting, but you can’t f—ing understand a word they say.”
- On Jodie Foster and her movie The Beaver: “I haven’t seen it myself. I’ve spoken to a lot of guys — they haven’t seen it either but that doesn’t mean it’s not good.”
- On Colin Firth: ”What you don’t know about him is he’s very racist. I mean, really nasty stuff. I’ve also seen him punch a little blind kitten. Please welcome the evil Colin Firth.”
- On Justin Bieber: “Justin Bieber nearly had to take a paternity test. What a waste of a test that would have been! No, he’s not the father. The only way he could have impregnated a girl is if he borrowed one of Martha Stewart‘s old turkey basters — open wide!”
- On himself: “No profanity [during hosting]: That’s fine, I’ve got a huge vocabulary. No nudity: See that’s a shame because I’ve got a huge [pause] vocabulary. But a tiny penis.”
Do YOU think Ricky is the funniest awards show host ever, HollywoodLifers?

Rick Gervais is really a trash. He has no charisma. I think respected artists should not have even attended to this event with a lousy presenter like him.
he brings the quality really down..
Sad…

you forgot my favorites ones…
The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton — a bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker and more easily bought.” Later he noted that Kardashian’s marriage lasted 72 days. “I’ve sat through longer James Cameron acceptance speeches,” he said.
What’s with all the divorces? What’s going on? Arnold and Maria, J.Lo and Marc Anthony, Ashton and Demi. Kim Kardashian and some guy no one will remember. He wasn’t around long. Seventy-two days. A marriage that lasted 72 days. I’ve sat through longer James Cameron acceptance speeches.”

PS…I turned it off! Didn’t have to listen to his “crude-isms” and it ruined the show I would have otherwise enjoyed.

You Americans clearly dont get his (british) sense of humour for me he is brilliant and i so hope that he ll be hosting next year’s Golden Globes for his fourth time. His sarcastic jokes i guess are mainly understandable by ppl who have some distance to themselfes and know the real fun :)
anyway

Don’t know why he thought the word “defecate” was so humorous! I think he is sickening. Don’t find his humor or “attacks” in the least funny!
