Social media lit up on Sunday in response to comic Jo Koy’s opening monologue on the Golden Globe Awards, with some calling it the worst they’ve ever seen.
Whereas Koy’s opening monologue kicked off to a reasonably conventional begin, his jokes noticeably took a downturn with the dwell viewers when he took a jab on the blockbuster Barbie, which has been nominated for a number of awards.
“Oppenheimer and Barbie are competing for cinematic field workplace achievement,” Koy mentioned. “Oppenheimer relies on a 724-page Pulitzer Prize-winning e book concerning the Manhattan Challenge, and Barbie relies on a plastic doll with massive boobies.”
The joke acquired some boos and jeers amid some laughs. In equity, Barbie director and co-screenwriter Greta Gerwig appeared to jive with it.
“The important thing second in Barbie is when she goes from good magnificence to dangerous breath, cellulite, and flat ft — or what casting administrators name ‘character actor,’” he continued.
When the joke attracted some groans, Koy blamed his writers.
“Some I wrote, another folks wrote,” he mentioned. “Yo, I acquired the gig ten days in the past! You need an ideal monologue? Shut up! You’re kidding me, proper? I wrote a few of these, they usually’re those you’re laughing at.”
Folks had been even much less form on social media.
That monologue felt longer than a double characteristic of ”Oppenheimer” and ”Killers of the Flower Moon.” Yikes.
