He's a very successful comic who has sold out Madison Square Garden. I think he knows his craft. It's not like he was reading the material for the first time. He was in the writer's room working with the writers on the jokes and I'm sure they rehearsed it many times before air. It was delivered how it was meant to be. My guess is you are reading way too much into the joke. It was meant as delivered, about how Barbie is a stupid doll and anyone who acts like a movie about a plastic doll is art is retarded. No, I haven't seen it. No, I won't be seeing it.

Gervais sucks. There's more to comedy than being the most offensive. Some offensive things are funny, but current stand-up is like the anti-woke equivalent to Dane Cook or the Blue Collar Comedy guys. It's all aboit pandering to a crowd rather than making funny, clever observations and good jokes.

Woke wasn't even invented yet when Gervais first hosted the Golden Globes. He started back in 2010. There was no political bent to his jokes. He was just roasting people for the fun of it.

He's a funny comedian but hosting an awards show is tough gig. The audience has to really like you and it sounds like he just couldn't connect with the audience. Its a shame but I hope he continues to have success.
