Tracy Morgan's Golden Globes Speech: "I Love You Europe!"(VIDEO)

Tracy Morgan spoke on behalf of "30 Rock" when the show won its Golden Globe and had one of the funniest speeches of the night.


"Tina Fey and I had an agreement that if Barack Obama won, I would speak for the show from now on. Welcome to post-racial America! I am the face of post-racial America. Deal with it Cate Blanchett!


He added, "A black man can't get no love at the Emmys. I love you Europe!"

His acceptance speech was outright hilarious! Those who didn't understand and or appreciate the humor in his speech are the unevolved dregs of an isolationist/elitist dumbed-down America who will die out without becoming enlightened.

[pthesmith]

Furthermore, it disparages Barack Obama to suggest any relationship between the two men. They're both Black... so what!

Dear Huffpo: What happened to the rest of my comment? Which read:

Here's my take on Tracey Morgan. For context purposes, I am Black (aka African American).

Black people likely think Tracey Morgan is the jive-talking, ebonics-speaking, idiot charicature that Blacks have to play in order to get work in Hollywood. See also: David Alan Greer, DL Hughley, Eddie Murphy, etc. Will Smith is making progress moving away from those roles. Non-Black people think Morgan is "genius!" If you want to know what genius is... see Dave Chappelle.

[Rivermont]

Agree, but can't leave out the ones who went before:

Pryor, Foxx, Wallace, Mac, Mabley,etc.

[sixletters]

As an African American I'd like to thank you for telling us what black people think and what non-black people think.

[11907281]

So does that mean "larry the cable guy" speaks for all whites? Simple things for simple minds.

[Smurfaveli]

I didn't know all of us Black people shared one point of view. Thanks for informing me.

[Randomizer]

Sorry, but Chapelle went into the very territory that Tracy is in. You don't think that Tyronne Biggums, Rick James, The Haters, or any other Chapelle characters were any less offensive than Tracy's? Please! Tracy is funny and he does it in a way that might not appeal to you because he's not going to go on a show and "discuss" it. He's a talent and he never makes me feel any less of people.

[yellowdogdemocratic]

I believe what he said was only meant to get a laugh, not provide a resolution for world peace. He's a member of a comedy team, and people in comedy make jokes. Must we psychoanalyze everything?

[readmewell22]

It was a JOKE!!! JOKES ARE FUNNY ATTRIBUTES!!! GET OVER IT!!!

[crayola 08]

i don't really get tracy's humor. for some reason it seems that except for eddie murphy SNL has always had a problem finding talented minority comedians, yet somehow MadTV never had that problem and was many times funnier.

[yellowdogdemocratic]

Don't forget Garret Morris and "baseball has been verdy verdy good to me!"

[sixletters]

I liked Tim meadows "The Ladies Man"

[pthesmith]

Here's my take on Tracey Morgan. (For the purpose of context: I am Black, aka African American)

Black people are not amused by Tracey Morgan because he perpetuates the jive-talking, ebonics-speaking, idiot character that Blacks must play in order to get work in Hollywood. See also: David Alan Greer, DL Hughley, Eddie Murphy, etc. Will Smith is making great progress in moving away from those charicatures.

Non-Black people think Tracey Morgan is "genious!"

[BigMike75]

That's Tracy's schtick, and it works for him. Some find him funny, some don't. I do find him quite entertaining, although his style can be a bit annoying. For classic Tracy Morgan you have to go back to his time as "Hustle Man" on the Martin series in the 90's when he was about 70 lbs heavier, and a lot funnier. I'm just happy to see him tackle sobriety and keep his job on a major network hit TV show.

[Cyrus8899]

The Cate Blanchett line was fantastic, just incredible. Closely followed by Fey's Hollywood Foreign Press Action Figures line for favourite line of the night.

(Un)fortunately not everyone is familiar with the non sequitur:

[Rivermont]

WoW!


Don't let you mind wander - it's far too small to be let out on its own

[sixletters]

Actually I'm not sure I get the Cate Blanchett line. Can you please explain?

[Randomizer]

She was probably the first non-American actress that he set his eyes on when he was giving the speech. It was a funny line.

[Cyrus8899]

It's funny simply because it makes absolutely no sense, and the setting, an awards ceremony in danger of taking itself too seriously, made it hilarious.

[Maanu]

Alright, let me add my two cents, he was himself, that's the way he sounds, he was not drunk, can't black people speak informally no mo? Get ova yo self.

[gorgol]

Tracy's a genius. What a cast...they are all great. Perfect casting.

[zona9]

Genius? You must be joking. He was on SNL for years and never got through a single sketch without flubbing his lines. He was a talentless disaster. Every moment he was on air was excrutiating. That the man actually has a job, post SNL, is a testament to the sucking black hole of god awful mediocrity that is Hollywood.

[Meah]

Ya got no sense of humor zona9. You just don't get it, do you?

[dkuz09]

You could've have replaced your entire comment with this one word and it would've summed it all up very nicely: Bitter.

[readmewell22]

Super Bitter and Butthead Wrong!

[andvoodoo2]

He's hilarious! His character on "30 Rock" is one of the best features of the show. And, his speech was funny as all get out.

[ReservoirDog]

BEST acceptance speech of the night !

[rock2casbah]

That was hilarious and seemed off the cuff. "Holla Jeff Zucker" aka Jay Z.

It was even funnier in person because they panned to a shot of the real Jay Z sitting with Beyonce. They both were laughing.

[alp2161]

Jeff Zucker is the CEO of NBC. Jay-Z's name is Shawn Carter.

If anyone else is having trouble with the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRHT9EK0uC0

[Yalegirl03]

Thanks!

[Yalegirl03]

Oh, they took it down :(

[Gainsbourg69]

I love Tracy Morgan's character on 30 rock. It suits his crazy, over the top shtick perfectly.


30 rock is the funniest thing on tv right now.

[stene]

Interesting that if you want to watch mr. Morgan profess his love for us Europeans over here in actual Europe, the embedded NBC player throws up an error message saying "We're sorry, but the clip you selected isn't available from your location".

[ladyv]

Not particularly interesting, no. None of NBC's official videos (via hosting site Hulu.com) are accessible from outside the US. Been that way since they started.

[cbbanks]

tracy is straight up crazy! he's not fumbling and drooling on himself. he's just funny!

[JSky]

Oh voltage356 and nolabels, have ever watched 30 Rock? His character always says nonsensical, outlandish like that. Tracy Morgan actually said in an interview that acting ridiculous was the best stress reliever ever.

[voltage356]

Oh really, no have not watch the show. However, if Johnny Depp comes dressed in Character as Jack Sparrow to pick up an award at every award event people will say he lost his mind Tracy no different. I didn't she Tina Fey come in character as Sarah Palin. It 's healthy to distinguish between reality and fictional.

[ladyv]

Johnny Depp isn't a comedian. Neither is Tina Fey.
