As a professional and long standing host, Chris Rock should have the understanding not to say something like that. You don't get to say whatever you want just because you are a comedian, Will Smith proved that. Actually you do and Rock will be laughing all the way to the bank. They are called jokes for a reason. I think we are all smart enough to know what is said on stage and what a non comedian would say in general are 2 different things and should be addressed differently. About 20 years ago I had front row seat to see Gallagher the comedian, I got hit in the face with a big hunk of watermelon I did not go on stage and hit him. If someone had done that as I am walking down the street I might have handled it differently. I think we are all making a big deal about nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Rickles? Eddie Murphy? Dave Chappelle? They tell jokes for God's sake. I guess Will and Jada think that people see their open marriage and don't joke about that... So, Smith will smack a man for a joke about her non-debilitating, non-life threatening condition, but doesn't mind another cowboy in the saddle... Okay 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comparison didn't really come close to Rock's tasteless joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that is exactly what should happen. You should never just be able to run your mouth without ramifications. That is some of the problem with social media. It isn't Rock's decision if the joke went too far. Obviously this is going no where and I could care less who slaps who. Any man that slaps another man is a big P anyway either punch or sit down He might as well pulled his hair. If you truly felt that Will was offended then why did he laugh at the joke, not a fake laugh he thought it was funny. Doing a COMEDY, a paid job to make people laugh to make people uncomfortable is not running your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay 🙄 See the problem here is... you are still responsible for your words regardless lol You are never off limits. Why would any comedian think that? That is egregious. I'm glad he got slapped, honestly. He deserved it. I hope one of my favorite actors careers isn't ruined for the mistake he made though. And I do categorize what WS did as a mistake. But I see why he did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see anyone run up on stage and make a fool of themself. Probably not most understand that we their is a guy or girl up on stage they are going to say offensive things and don't let it butt hurt you or you will not have a good time.

If you and your wife were at a comedy club, and a comedian said something suggestive or made fun of your wife in some way, would you smack him? I've been married to a beautiful woman for close to 40 years.

5fouls Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Gotta weigh in on the Comedy Club thing. Most comedy club acts talk generically. You know, something like "I saw a woman on the street corner last week". The comedian does not usually point to someone in the audience and say "I saw that woman right there on the street corner last week." Good grief. People are crucifying Will Smith worse than they are Putin. Also think there is a whole lot of hypocrisy in the general public's judgment of what Will Smith did. I'll leave it at that to avoid breaking board rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was lame because you made it personal, suggesting he would be publically called out for some act of violence. We can have this discussion without resorting to that type of jab. Disagreement is fine and a foundational block of a message board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
