Needs its own thread: Ricky Gervais on John Stewart

[buttahflake]

He pretty much created, cringe humor. His David Brent character from The Office is one the best things ever on screen.
Love him

[Benny Profane]

Now, this is comedy. And, it has legs.

Something else occurred to me. I would have liked to see Pesci slowly walk to the stage from the Scorcese table after he insulted him, just get that little guy in the right position, and, bam, a nice jab directly into the nose. Bam. Just push the whole nostril assembly an inch back. Watch him crumble, sniveling, as blood and snot and tears flow onto the stage. Then, calmly go back to the table, say, "See ya boys, headin' back to Jerrzee" and calmly walk out to his driver. Taking his swag, of course. I see Pacino with that wide eyed "whoa" look on his face, moving into a smile, Scorcese looking a little glum, because this may have messed up his Oscar chances, and he needs all the help he can get, and Deniro doing that smile and, pointing finger at Pesci, "You, You......".

Pesci is an actor. Do really think he's tough IRL?
You sound incredibly thinned skinned

[Benny Profane]

Oh c'mon. It's the movies. It's make believe. It's a little skit. I'm thin skinned?

Pesci laffed at the short joke...yes.

[The AD]

You think Joe Pesci is funny? Like a clown funny?

[BmillsSkier]

Benny, Gervais said before we went on, who is my audience: the 200 fragile egos in front of me or the 200 million watching worldwide?

Also, I wonder how these poor souls would have handled a Don Rickles insulting them?

[Benny Profane]

200 million people watch that bullshit? Christ, that calls for some insults.

[PNWbrit]

200 million people watch that bullshit?

Maybe they're all Joe Pesci fans? You'd be surprised how many people hold him up as some kinda of Superman or Demigod.

Apparently.

Anytime I see “apparently” or (probably), both of which are in heavy use round here this week, I read it in Clarkson’s mumbled voice, and its perfect.

Yeah, that Leo Getz ....... a real super hero.

Benny is probably a Gallagher fan.

When I was in college in Boulder, I worked at Safeway one summer and rang up Gallagher and his 3 carts of watermelons and crap. True Story.

[Benny Profane]

Was he wearing that striped shirt?

[PB]

Did he have his sledge/maul??

[BmillsSkier]

Well surely he doesn't travel with all those watermelons.

Got to get em somewhere.

[SB]

It’s good for the economy

You’re telling me Gallagher buys his own watermelons? I’m guessing it was his brother that was piggybacking off his schtick for awhile.

How does he perform out of watermelon season?

[SB]

Maybe he gets them shipped in from South America or Asia?

Wonder what he looks for when he picks them?

[goldenboy]

Ha ha. I'm afraid he didn't have his striped shirt or his sledgehammer with him. Just him and an assistant, trying to act normal with their abnormal purchase and celebrity status.
