22 years ago, Ricky Gervais delivered one of the greatest acceptance speeches you’ll ever see.
Extremely funny, completely unfiltered and not remotely politically correct. The whole room was properly laughing, no awkward silences or uncomfortable chuckles, just pure laughter at the jokes, because that’s all they are, jokes. Something we seem to have forgotten today.
Noel Gallagher was presenting the award and he’s absolutely losing it behind him. 😂😂
Brilliant.
The fans got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago. Yesterday, 10 years after the first film and exactly 2 years after Deadpool & Wolverine, I felt so lucky to be on the #SDCC floor with everyone whose unapologetic devotion brings so much joy to this world.
Forever Fuck Jonathan Majors
Quantummania sucked but this reveal was so dope, the music the feeling of dread and the fact that we probably won't see Kang again is tragic
Pilot: "there is an 'advisory' light showing. We're going to try turning the airplane off and back on again to see if it goes away. Please stand by, it's going to get dark."
I sh*t you not.
My pilot just tried turning it off and back on again. Did they get that idea from chatgpt?
Just in case, and in case you are curious, here's the video, lol.
One of the most awkward, uncomfortable TV interviews in British history 🫣
Back in 2003 on The Frank Skinner Show, Matthew Kelly sat down to promote a play… and instead turned the tables on Frank.
Kelly directly confronted him over “horrible gags” Skinner and @Baddiel had made on Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned while Kelly was under police investigation for historical sex abuse allegations (which were later dropped with no charges).
Kelly, clearly still raw from the ordeal, asked Frank straight up if he was “proud” of the jokes and whether he’d repeat them with him sitting right there.
To be fair to Frank, he handled it really well. He stood his ground, didn’t dodge or over-apologise, explained it was topical comedy with no malice, and even repeated the jokes to Kelly’s face on air! 😱
It’s actually very compelling TV, but you can feel the atmosphere in the studio, the silence, the squirming, and the awkward laughter. Watch for yourself 😬
On the eve of The Office’s 25th anniversary, I’m taking it back to the very beginning with a clip from the unaired pre-pilot presentation we put together, which led to the BBC commission.
How funny!! I’ve heard about this whole situation for as long as I can remember, and it was one of those kinda things that everyone who was in showbizz all knew about, but it never crossed over to the general public, yet here it is now, very ’Ellen’ lol!! All phoneys 🙄
