Christian Bale gave a shout out to Satan during his Golden Globes acceptance speech and, trust us, this article just gets better from there.


Bale was awarded the Golden Globe for best actor for his portrayal of Dick Cheney in the biopic Vice. Anyone who is a fan of Bale's work knows that he tends to immerse himself in every role he plays, and that immersion can sometimes lead to a sense of sympathy for the character. Sure, they may do terrible things, but Bale is often able to find something in there that he can empathize with. In the end, the role can leave him with a deeper connection and understanding.

That wasn't the case this time. Bale pulled no punches with his acceptance speech. That cutting wit and humor were on full display as he thanked his wife, his co-creators, and then Satan for the inspiration on how to properly play Dick Cheney.

Check out his speech. (Warning: Some of you may not be aware, but Christian Bale is not American. The accent may be jarring if you're not ready for that voice to come out of Bale's mouth. It's all gonna be okay.)

If you're not able to listen to the speech, here's the relevant bit:

"Thank you to that geezer over there, Adam. He said 'I've got to find somebody who can be absolutely charisma-free and reviled by everybody,' so he went, 'That's got to be Bale. Innit?'"

"Thank you for all the competition, I'll be cornering the market on charisma-free assh*les. What do you think, Mitch McConnell, next? That could be good, couldn't it?"

"Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration onto how to play this role."

He thanked Satan, you guys. The audience found it hilarious, and so did Twitter.




While everyone was busy laughing, it seems Satan was kind of flattered.

The responses were actually pretty interesting.




The conversation quickly devolved into an argument about who the best Batman is. For the record, Satan says it's Bale.






What a world, right?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
