This was the best thing in a long time. This preaching by pretentious and clueless Hollywood celebs is so infuriating and cringe, oh my god. Just say thanks and fuck off, that's about right.
Ricky said this would be his last time, so there was no reason to hold back. God bless him.

He's an atheist :)

Just as great as i remember him from gta4.

Watching his stand up comedy on the game was so fun. GTA IV is so underrated.

For the amount of sales and metacritic score one thing GTA IV that it isn't is underrated.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

GTA IV is an overrated game.

How can you say a metacritic of 98 with multiple tens of million in sales is underrated? Should it have a meta of 120?

Ricky Gervais is great. I also loved his joke about they not honoring the celebrities that had died last year because the list of people that had died weren't diverse enough.lol

Perhaps they didn't die because of global warming or fire fighting so they didn't deserve honoring.

You're right but GTA IV also gets tons of hate the likes of which San Andreas and V doesn't get. People think it's boring or that it doesn't deserve the scores it got at the time. I disagree entirely, at the time there was nothing even close to it in open world with a modern setting. I'd even argue there still isn't since GTAV went in a completely different direction, tone-wise.

Having people hating it isn't underrating.

I like Ricky Gervais but his sthick is old. At the end of the show he told people to donate to Australia, which a lot of the other celebs on the show mentioned as well. How is he not a hypocrite?

There was nothing cool or edgy about his speech. In fact many celebs ignored him and carried on with what they wanted to say anyway.

You're so sad you even have to politicize relief aid to Australia which is suffering from one of the worst disasters in history.

But there's something more telling here. The dunning-Krueger effect I believe you guys call it.

It's funny how so many Americans think they are experts at humour despite being unable to conceive of core elements such as self-deprecation, irony, and not viewing everything through a miserable political lens.

From Germany to the US: lighten up!


P.S. Since I know this is going to hurt the asses of some,
