Ricky Gervais infiltrates the one percenters by remaining a 99er
I love this guy. He’s Larry David without the neurosis. Anyway, that’s a great post. You should read the whole thing.
***
He had a good dig on Jerry Seinfeld once: “And finally, the funniest man in the world, Jerry Seinfeld!… I know that because he told me.”
A dig on Jimmy Fallon, as Fallon is delivering a monologue, Gervais comes up to him: “You know, Jimmy, you’ve got to sell that joke… as if you were smart enough to write it.”
Another dig, as he’s drinking a beer at the Globes: “I love a drink as much as the next man… unless that man is Mel Gibson!"… And then Gibson walks on.... and to Mel’s credit, he played along by pretending to stumble like a drunk. He turned a great one-liner by Gervais into a great comedic experience.
I can’t think of anyone who can give zingers like that to the biggest celebrities around, and to their faces, and have everyone laugh, including the targets.
