Gervais is not, and never will be, edgy. He's barely funny at the best of times.
I wonder if his losing weight is the problem. Maybe such humour is more acceptable when delivered by a pot-bellied comedian.
What do you mean "The problem"? No one actually cares, it's just media drumming up outrage/publicity as they always do.
Calling Cruise/Travolta gay on primetime network tv has to be considered at least a little bit edgy still.
Not really. He didn't actually call them by name, he only implied it and it's nothing people haven't been saying for years.
Anyway, I thought it was funny, and regardless of whether or not people have been saying such things for years or not, it takes a certain amount of courage to say it into their faces; like Colbert did in the White House too for example.
Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't funny, what I saw was. But it wasn't daring, it wasn't disgusting, it wasn't an outrage, it was just Gervais doing the job he was hired to do.
You 'less than three' him???
What does that even mean??
Heart/love/like...
Yeah pretty lame...

Shit like that isn't funny. If they want to stay in the closet, it's their business. Anyone who doesn't know them personally shouldn't even care about such things. Even famous people deserve some degree of privacy or at least dignity, regardless of how idiotic they act (and Travolta has never acted idiotic that I've noticed).
I think a lot of this so-called humor is just mean-spirited envy of rich, famous, beautiful people.
The clips I saw were funny. I wish I had taped it and watched the bits with him in it. Were any of the celebs really upset? Sounds like much ado about jack shit.
I was being silly. Nevermind. It wasn't that obvious
Well I suppose you could like him so much you wanted to do that to him, but that's entirely your business.
He fucking killed. 
Great stuff, love Gervais.
Although if Americans think that's bad, I'd love to see Frankie Boyle present it next year
"Right, now ya bunch of cunts, I hear one of you lot shagged a couple of little boys up their arses, and this envelope contains the names of the suspects."
The sad thing is that if the GGs do ditch him for next year, it may well pave the way for Piers Morgan.
