Kudos to Rick Gervais's

He was a comedian and told jokes about the actors, nothing below the belt or over the line, a few actors got pissy because he picked on them. Boooohooo, wasn't mean spirited at all.

Actually, he did hit below the belt on at least one of his jokes when he announced Bruce Willis and Ashton Kucher's dad.

Lol that's below the belt? Wow, I'd hate for you to actually hear some real dark humor.

Gay men are nothing but child molesting pole smokers. Guess I can say that since I consider myself a comedian.

They guy is very respected and very funny, that's not even close. The only ones that complained were the ones getting shots at them, which was all of about 4 people who couldn't took a joke, he got overwhelming support from every which way.

And what part of his jokes were anything close to that? Poor, failed attempt at some comparison. If he hadn't had thrown the thing about god in there, wouldn't hear any of this from anyone one of you all.

You were the one that brought it up, and the guy is not that funny or respected. You started this as another shot at Christianity just admit it.

He is actually, where the hell are you even getting that? Very well respected. And I said kudo's to him for making a stand and having the balls to say that live in front of millions, some are just pissy because he did and if he hadn't, there would be crickets about his hosting of the entire show.

Actually, I do know a few things about dark humor. I think a lot of people were really turned off to him the other night because they even think he went too far. There is a fine line between funny and distasteful when using dark humor. He crossed it the other night.

If you thought that was close you being dark humor, you don't, dark humor IS mean and really mean stuff. That's not close to dark humor, which isn't some dirty joke btw, he is a dark humorist but he put it best...

"Can't wait for the people who thought it was over the top to see my stand-up shows. F--k me, they will s--t themselves".

That was middle school jokes compared to dark humor and his stand up.

And he's been praised to actually giving a good show, the shows hosts had bombed the past few years and was dull, he was hired to do exactly what he did and most thought he delivered perfectly.
