This kid I knew in high school got caught tagging one time and the police took him to his house and explained to his parents what had happened. After the police officers left, his dad confronted him angry and red-faced. “Do you like graffiti, Matt?” his dad asked, which already, is a really funny thing to ask your son who was JUST arrested for graffiti. “Actually,” Matt said, “I do. I think when it’s done well it can be really cool and is a legitimate art-form.” His dad exploded. “WELL, I DON’T!” His dad yelled. “I HATE THE WAY IT FUCKS UP THE WORRRRRRRRLD!” Haha. I don’t know, I just like that story. I think of it when I see graffiti, such as this graffiti on the side of the Beverly Hilton, where the Golden Globes were filmed. Did Ricky Gervais paint it? No one knows. Probably not? The guy has one million dollars and a successful showbiz career, he might have something better to do than spraypaint the side of a hotel. Then again, if there is one thing we know about celebrities, it is that they love pranks. If YOU were famous, what would YOU spraypaint on the side of the Beverly Hilton?
Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. More meaningful than a Golden Globe, probably! (Image via TheDailyWhat.)

You know, when he wrote on the wall of the Hilton last year, it was a lot less mean-spirited.
Paris’ real name is Beverly. Everyone ever was here.
Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt stike again!
“Steve Carell Was Here” – graffitied on the side of the less impressive Motel 6 down the block.
Oh man. more like the humor is your penis!
TWSS
Just kidding, LADIES.
I liked the first three floors of that Motel 6, but they should have stopped building it there.
I would spray over the “Hilton” sign, so that it said “The Beverly Stilton.”
O, how their monacles would drop into their champagne flutes when they saw that bit of tomfoolery. “Imagine! Our beloved instituion turned into a giant cheese! How droll”
I love the word tomfoolery. Thank you.
The blue-bloods are going to be pissed that someone tagged their turf.

-Graffitti Nowhere
I now read all of your comments in the voice of Kristen Schall.
The Invention of Krylon
The Dorchester London version is a million times better.
He spray painted that wall without the owners permission! Posting this picture is just encouraging vandalism and it disgusts me! MISOGYNY!
I don’t appreciate this graffiti
-Judd Apatow
The graffiti would’ve been funnier if Steve Merchant had punched it up for him.
I know that Ricky Gervais didn’t spray that because it would say “Ricky Gervais was *HYENA CACKLE* here.”
Alternately, “No regrets.”
British people can’t even wear sunglasses the right way.
DEAL WITH IT
Easy “UFOS R REAL”
Since this is LA “Dodgers Suck” might also be appropriate.
“Are you having a tag?”
“Have a lovely bit of graffiti. No? Do you mind if I have a lovely bit of graffiti?”
“Just nipping out for a crafty tag.”
That is one weird looking “Exit Through the Gift Shop” outtake.
Gah! I kind of plagiarized two people in one post! My apologies, Bridgey.
I’m not bothered.
Curious why this is getting downvoted.
BOOOOOOOO!
(I don’t know why, either, but now I think it’s funny. Work on your EGOT!)
They obviously weren’t imagining Lauren Cooper saying it…
“Karl?”
yes, “Karl”.
from walking dead? quote unquote karl face
No.
God bless you, Godsauce.
“Could someone grab me a yogurt?” – Celebrity Me.

“Exit through the mean spirited gift shop”
“Lot here is $20- For the love of God, save yourselves and find street parking.”
Banksy strikes again
I think he’s losing his edge.
I heard you have a compilation of every good tag ever done by anybody.
Ricky demonstrates how little he understands social media after they asked him to write something on the Beverly Hilton’s wall to promote the event.
He also misunderstood when they asked him to tag the Beverly Hilton
The thing is, I can totally see this being the plot to an episode of Extras.
The spelling makes too much sense to have been done by a British person.
“Rickie Gervaise wasse Lorry”
“How did he know which one he was?”
Mr. Brainwash points to the wall of the Beverly Hilton. “Ricky Gervais was here. Good stuff. That’s what I tag,” he says. “That’s what I tag.”
Beat me to it! CURSES.
Ricky Gervais served three years hard time. “We’ve got to make an example of him.” –LAPD
For the second time today, Gabe posts a candid photo of a bush in Beverly Hills
DING DING DING. WINNER
I thought about responding, saying that the comment was anatomically untrue, but then I reassessed my life.
Winner it is.
That’s horrible. This bush didn’t consent to this photo either.
Ricky Gervagrant
Alternatively, Ricky Gervandalism
What? That’s not how you spell Schroeder.
It’s Rick now
from Silver Spoons to DREAMY MCBLUEEYES
With all the backlash, Ricky Gervais resorted to spraypainting a wall so that when the media approached him on the subject he could respond with “You having a laugh?”
Less of a caption, but I love the arrow on the sign in that picture. Like, before the arrow was put there, it wasn’t entirely clear exactly WHERE the Beverly Hilton was. “Oh look honey, that arrow points to the building it’s attached to, that must be where it is”
Anyone can go to the Beverly Hilton, Ricky. No need to brag.
The rest of the message is actually hidden under the bush. It reads “…..but then people got kinda tired and bored, so they all went home.”
You wanna go Pee Pee?
“Yeah you know me!” – R. Kelly
Finally a sex tape with it all. I wonder if he shows her his stand-up routine before he crushes her pelvis & it turns into a snuff film, because laughing after would just be wrong.
This is what Ricky Gervais does to walls that are too self-congratulatory.
I’d spray a giant Banksy rat with Hollywood’s face on it. That’s right, all of hollywood, because SATIRE.
The Drapers stayed here last season when they were in Rome.
I’M STILL HERE
This is sort of like the Paltrow upskirt: this wall is being objectified and this graffiti wasn’t consented to. Let the down voting begin!
“Ricky Gervais and some rich and famous people doing some rich and famous people things was here” – in the finest calligraphy for rich and famous people.
“Rick Moranis is STILL here”
“Tom Cruise loves the puss” – Tom Cruise
banksy pissed he didnt get a golden globe?
So THAT’S what he was doing when he dissapeared for an hour!
They must have painted over “telling Leno jokes”
Explainer guy needs some upvotes, btw.
The Beverly Hilton doesn’t have color TV or HBO?!
And then I was bored.
I like the American version better.
Fuck IT I”M JJJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That’s too high up to have been spray-painted by Ricky Gervais.
In a couple of weeks we’ll see “Dane Cook was here” on the wall of a Super 8.
“Ricky Gervais was here to pee”
