Yahoo Movies Sofia Vergara's inappropriate NSFW joke falls flat at the Golden Globes
Much is made of Colombian-American actress Sofia Vergara’s character in ‘Modern Family’ Gloria Delgado-Pritchett not always having a full command of the English language.
But her NSFW joke at last night’s Golden Globes was an absolute peach.
The actress was introducing Sylvester Stallone’s daughters, Sophie, Sistine and Scarlet – this year’s co-Miss Golden Globes – to the stage.
But she seemed to be struggling with the phrase ‘annual tradition’.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has an anal tradition,” she announced, pretending to squint at the teleprompter.
“I didn’t mean… They have an anus tradition.
“They have a tradition that they do every year of choosing a second-generation performer to assist in the presentation of the awards.”
Not all considered it a triumph, however, notably because Stallone’s daughters are 19, 17 and 14 respectively.
Really #GoldenGlobes ? Anus/anal jokes to introduce Sly's daughters? One of them is 14. #inappropriate

#GoldenGlobes "Anus"! It's funny because Sofia Vergara is foreign! Can we go back to Hugh Laurie's speech, which was genuinely funny?

It seems she went off-plan with the joke too, making it up herself, dropping this message on Instagram:
