PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

Ricky Gervais, a 58 year old man who uses Twitter a lot, hosted an awards show on Sunday. It’s Wednesday, now, and he still seems anxious and bothered about it.

Gervais’s Golden Globe’s one-liners were likely bland and fine in the way that all awards show jokes are bland and fine. Certainly nothing he said has spiralled into some sort of days-long controversy. But based on his Twitter (God he tweets so much for a millionaire), he’s steamed about … something.

It seems like people took his jokes too seriously, or people erroneously called him “conservative,” or one of the eggs Gervais sees when he searches his own name on Twitter didn’t like something he said.

But the guy who made like 12 episodes of a popular TV show two decades ago is still squawking.
