So I remember back when Gard should have been charged with assault for putting his hands on Howard getting in his space etc.. yet no charges filed on a blatant assault. It's a comedian telling a joke. Grow up people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just say, imo, wives are off the table... so are children. So you could basically never tell a joke about women. Plenty of them are wives. The monologue is a roast. Why should anyone e be off limits. There have been Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein jokes before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see why that's far fetched. Why should anyone be off limits? Idk... because it isn't that hard to be a decent human being and not talk about s*** that is way below the belt. You can't expect anything less from a POS like Chris Rock, but I would have assumed even he could catch on to something like that. especially night wives with a disease. If you make fun of my wife that has a disease, regardless of national TV or not.... you might get smacked. Which is all I said to begin with... if you make jokes about people's wives w/diseases... you might get smacked.

All the actors and actresses are in the line of fire. Might be tasteless but it's a joke. I could see if it were me making the joke but that is what Chris Rock does for a living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that difficult. Why would Chris Rock need to make a joke about her disease? Will Smith was wrong. Period. So was Chris Rock.

It was fine to make jokes about Michael j fox and his steady hands. They are called jokes maybe not funny but man we have become so overly sensitive in this world. If that were on the street and someone offended my wife, then yes but in a roast that's kind of what is expected. Will thought it was funny until Jada have him the look. I'm sure Will has never offended anyone with his comedy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I get what you are saying. About the jokes and the arena that it was said. Makes total sense. I'm just saying... as a man, Chris Rock should have much better sense then that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree wholeheartedly. Most rational thinking adults realize it's comedy. All he did was make himself look l8ke a big jackass with no self control. IMO if he did it anywhere else his rear-end would rightfully have been arrested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock already has...his two shows last night, although all ready sold out, had ticket prices skyrocketing into the thousands. Every show will sell out. He'll be in high demand on talk shows and such...as will Smith...I'm surprised there hasn't been talk of a pay per view boxing match yet... The rich get richer...the average American would get a number board, 3 hots and a cot... Frankly, I'm tired of the whole thing...

Maybe you would, and that is fine. But, a lot of people outraged by his actions are only acting that way because it was Chris Rock (i.e. a celebrity) he hit and it was done in public. Meanwhile, in the scenario where only the three of them are present, the 'jokester' gets his bell ring 75% plus of the time. It cant be right in one of those scenarios and be wrong in the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing one important piece here...Chris Rock was getting paid to entertain not only the attendees, but 10 million watching from home. It's his job to tell jokes make people laugh. He'd basically implied Javier Bardam's wife was a beeyotch right before that by saying if he won and she lost, he'd be miserable. Don Rickles made a friggin career out of insulting people...It's comedy... In your scenario, the person making the remark might think it's funny, but that's just plain rudeness...It would also depend on who said it...Good friend? I'd ask them to apologize. Stranger? I wouldn't smack someone over a joke about my wife's hair (or lack thereof), but I'd say something letting the person know that was BS and probably insult them back...if it escalated past that, so be it...But I wouldn't raise the first hand...
