PewDiePie explains why Ricky Gervais\u2019 Golden Globes speech \u201cdoesn\u2019t hold up\u201d YouTube king Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg reacted to actor and comedian Ricky Gervais\u2019 scathing speech at the 77th Golden Globe Awards \u2014 and while he \u201cliked\u201d it, expressed a few issues with Gervais\u2019 comments. Gervais\u2019 Golden Globes address quickly went viral across social media, with many users buzzing about his statements toward major CEOs and actors for \u201cknowing nothing about the real world.\u201d Amid his biting remarks, the comedian also touched on Apple\u2019s \u201cMorning Show,\u201d taking shots at the company for running \u201csweatshops in China\u201d \u2014 a comment that PewDiePie felt called to touch on during a January 8 episode of \u201cYou Laugh, You Lose.\u201d He began by clarifying that he did, indeed, like Gervais\u2019 monologue, but criticized him for reappearing as the show\u2019s host five times, despite his supposed \u201cboot\u201d from the role for his comments, and accused him of repeating \u201cthe exact same shtick\u201d every year. Kjellberg then related Gervais\u2019 \u201csweatshop\u201d segment to his own clothing brand, \u201cTsuki,\u201d which he created in collaboration with wife Marzia Bisognin in March 2018. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfzCHz3lFgi\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link \u201cAre you telling me, seriously, that you\u2019ve never bought any product that has been produced in China?\u201d the YouTuber questioned. \u201cThis is coming from someone\u2026 me and Marzia have our brand \u2018Tsuki,\u2019 where we produce ethically in Canada, because we want to avoid sweatshops.\u201d While the YouTuber went on to clarify that there are plenty of legitimate manufacturers in China, he also argued that most consumers \u201cdon\u2019t care\u201d about the source of their products, rendering his argument null in the face of many buyers. (Topic starts at 8:30 for mobile viewers) \u201cEven though I do agree, it\u2019s f**king obnoxious hearing this Hollywood elite preach about a bunch of s**t, because it is tone-deaf,\u201d he continued. \u201cI agree. But at the same time, I don\u2019t really think his argument holds up. \u2026everyone who thought he was epic when he said that better not be holding an iPhone.\u201d Although PewDiePie was ultimately a fan of Gervais\u2019 viral Golden Globes speech, he does have a point in regards to ethical creation of products \u2014 just one of many scalding jabs brought out by the comedian in front of Hollywood\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
