Ricky Gervais is not sorry about his unfunny Caitlyn Jenner jokes during Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards. Why should he be? He’s Ricky Gervais.
During his predictably obnoxious monologue, Gervais did a bit on Caitlyn, telling the audience: “I’ve changed, not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously.” If the basis of the joke is that the existence of trans people is funny, the joke is lame.
He also said on stage, “What a year she’s had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers, but you can’t do everything.” Perhaps not the worst joke, but definitely a tired one.
