I don't think Americans really 'do' self-deprecation, do they?

Hollywood should get over itself.

And in his own little way, Gervais is merely adding to the ego boost.

In a very publicly humiliating way, yeah, I agree.
Tim Allen wasn't at all happy, was he? (8+D

No he wasn’t. Gervaise has always been known to be acidic, but he has always seemed to defer to his perceived betters in ShowBiz circles. This was a bit different. The idea that he got a bollocking behind the scenes appeals somewhat, and I would be surprised if he didn’t.

He did state that he "told them", so that being the case, it's all "their" own fault.

Yes but if you act like an A-hole then you should expect it. eg Charlie Sheen.

If you act like a bunch of superior, spoiled brats then you should expect it, eg. Hollywood.

Clicky
So only Robert Downey Jnr. took offence? Well, that's understandable in my opinion.

Well, if you hire Gervais, you get Gervais. You don’t get Bill Cosby or Oprah. You have to deal with the fallout.
