He's baaaccckk!
After a three-year hiatus, Ricky Gervais and his controversial jokes returned at the 2016 Golden Globes. You'd think past quips about the Holocaust and Mel Gibson's drinking issues would have the network pulling in the reins on the comedian, but that obviously wasn't the case.

Here are the best jokes from the 2016 Golden Globes. We'll be updating this throughout the awards.
On how far he's willing to go:
Addressing the audience:
On equal pay for women:

Keeping it real:

On why there's no "In Memoriam":
"The #GoldenGlobes doesn't have an In Memoriam section to get you all depressed. Instead we let the president of HFPA say a few words."

Another awkward moment with Mel Gibson:
On Brangelina's newest additions to the family:
"When Brad and Angelina see Kevin Hart and Ken Jeong they're gonna want to adopt them" WOOOOW Ricky Gervais HAHAHA #GoldenGlobes
