For our purposes here, dear reader, I generally maintain two lists: People I Want to Fight, and The Honor Roll. The names on the People I Want to Fight list are myriad and while those on The Honor Roll are all too few. Thankfully, there is a new name to add to The Honor Roll today: Ricky Gervais. I’ve always been a fan, but what he did to Hollywood last night, sans lube, warmed my heart and caused my aorta to snicker. His entire monologue and commentary throughout the Golden Globe Awards was absolutely brilliant, but these sentences in particular earn him a permanent place on The Honor Roll:

“So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God, and fuck off, okay?”

I rarely say this, but I could not have said it better myself. That was fucking beautiful. If ever I’m at the same bar as he is, Mr. Gervais drinks for free.
