I thought it was pretty decent actually considering he was on the stage of the Oscars in front of god knows how many people.
He definitely had the chance of throwing something really terrible or even missing and humiliating himself thousands of times harder.
He also had the option of not getting up and smacking someone. Might have been the best thing for his reputation.
I cannot wait to see what the Spectators take on it will be.
Letās see if they can get woke and Putin into the same headline.
How long will the memes for this continue do we think? A full month?
Iām not sure but Chris Rock handled that situation better than a lot of people.
Will Smith should be embarrassed, heās supposed to be a comedian.
He had to have done some training for Ali a few years ago so heās learned how to throw a punch. Or at least an āacting slapā, which this definitely was. He could have done better, I feel. 5/10. These shit jokes are in the spirit of all that roasting shit that americans find so funny. Free pass to be a brian. Itās almost expected that this kind of humour is going to be present. Chris Rock acted well all things considered.
Seems fairly accurate.
Hadnāt his Mrs cheated on him for years?
Shit slap.
Would have expected a proper punch.
He probably would have knocked him out if heād punched him properly. That Ali muscle memory would come back
At first I thought it was staged - he initially laughed and the slap looked fakeā¦ But then he started shouting and swearing on live tellyā¦
Why would you not just hit him properly if you were that livid. Shit joke anyway.
Agreed. Shit joke and shit response. Never make jokes about a shaved head. There are too many bad things it could be related to.
Shit joke, but slapping Chris Rock then swearing at him has cemented him as a joke in the next 10 years of Oscars/Golden Globes/other shite awards ceremonies and will probably become a rap lyric for years to come.
Chris Rock might come out of this better than Wicka-Wah, Wicka-Wa, Wicka-Will
It wasnāt even a shit joke, people laughed. I doubt Chris Rock knows she has a hair loss issue.
LOL what?
He just made a sentence up and hoped it was a joke??
Yeah, this is where being the bigger person and ignoring it would of been the much better path to take, Will Smith has managed to turn a forgetful joke, set to be lost in the annals of time forever, into one of the biggest modern cultural talking points ever when discussing the Oscars, the most prestigious movie award show in the world and which he will now be forever associated with, no matter what he does in the future. The context of the joke will be lost over time while the memes and re-plays of the clip will outlive both their careers.
Maybe he thought he was just taking the piss out of a haircut.
A shaved head is a hairstyle.
I didnāt know she had a hair loss problem, I thought she just rocked it like Kanyeās ex.
