Post content: "They're still not listening 
"
(with an attached image quoting his famous 2020 Golden Globes monologue line:
"If you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a political platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world...")The post has gone massively viral: over 7.3 million views, ~313k likes, ~45k reposts, and thousands of replies/quotes within ~24 hours.ContextThis is a direct callback to his 2020 Golden Globes hosting gig, where he famously roasted Hollywood celebrities for using acceptance speeches to push political messages (instead of just saying thanks and sitting down). He basically told them: "You're not important enough to lecture the world — most of you left school earlier than Greta Thunberg."He reposted basically the same joke/phrase after the 2026 Grammy Awards (which happened the night before his post), where several winners — including high-profile names like Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish — used their speeches to criticize ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and related immigration policies. Many wore "ICE OUT" pins on the red carpet too.Gervais is clearly saying: "I told you six years ago not to do political lectures from award stages... and you're still doing it."Reactions (very polarized, as usual with him)

"Reactions (very polarized, as usual with him)- Supporters love it — calling it timeless truth, saying award shows have become unbearable "lectures from millionaires."
- Critics call him hypocritical (a celebrity himself using his huge platform to lecture), out of touch, or just mean-spirited for mocking people speaking on serious issues like immigration/detention policies.
