Chris Rock will supposedly go after Will Smith on his Netflix special tonight

He's had a year to write jokes.

by Anonymousreply 299March 12, 2023 3:49 PM

GOOD!!!

by Anonymousreply 1March 4, 2023 9:05 AM

I hope he goes after him. Smith's reaction was so bizarre. Even watching it back now I think it's quite shocking and it takes a lot to shock me.

A recent Chris Rock joke that may make it into the special:

"The other day, I watched Emancipation just so I could watch Will Smith getting whipped"

by Anonymousreply 4March 4, 2023 6:15 PM

I'm watching the pre-show live stream right now.

Streaming it live on Netflix is an interesting move.

It really is adding a sense of excitement that seems very unusual for a stand-up special.

what has he said about Smith?

it was bizarre how so many people thought Rock deserved to get hit. Was the joke about Jada's hair stupid? absolutely and I didn't even know beforehand she had a condition. I thought it was 2022 and women can have whatever hair (or lack of hair) they want. No justification to get hit for it though

I could’ve done without his admiration of Smith, but Rock probably wants to frame it as him being the bigger person, not Will. His rant on Smiths selective outrage, while Smiths cunt wife basically cucked him, by revealing she fucked the sons best friend, was priceless.

I hope Rock is ruthless but he won't be. Sad thing is so many people still support Will Smith.

As others have said, if it was anyone else who had done this, they would not be defended. They would be arrested, career destroyed, and tarnished on social media. Will Smith still benefits from the privilege of being Will Smith.

Rock mentioned that a white guy SPIT on Smith during a film shoot and Smith did nothing.

In the after show Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said that if he'd been the one to make the Jada joke Smith wouldn't have done anything. Rock mentioned how much bigger Smith is than him and also that he got a concussion.

'You all know what happened to me, getting slapped by Suge Smith. Everybody knows, everybody f****** knows,' he began.

'I got smacked at the f****** Oscars by this motherf*****. And people are like "Did it hurt?" It still hurts. I got Summertime ringing in my ear f***** drums.

'But I'm not a victim, you will never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying you will never see it, like, "I couldn't believe it and I love Men in Black." No, it's never going to happen.

I took that hit like Pacquiao mother f*****,' Rock said, referring to Manny Pacquiao, a professional boxer.

He noted that 'Will Smith is significantly bigger than me. We are not the same size.

'Will Smith does most of his movies with his shirt off. You've never seen me do a movie with my shirt off. If I'm in a movie getting open heart surgery, I'm in a sweater,' Rock joked.

'Will Smith played Mohammed Ali in a movie, you think I auditioned for that part? He played Mohammed Ali, I played Pookie in New Jack City. I played a piece of corn in Pootie Tang. S*** even in animation this motherf****** [is] bigger: I'm a zebra, he's a shark.

'But Will Smith practices selective outrage because everyone that knows what happened, everybody that really knows, knows I had nothing to do with that s***. I didn't have any entanglements.

'His wife was f***** her son's friend.'

'Now I normally wouldn't talk about this s***,' Rock said. 'But for some reason these n****** put that shit on the Internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that f***** low down. What the f***.

'We've all been cheated on, everybody in here has been cheated on. None of us have been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television, like "Hey I was sucking somebody else's d***, how did that make you feel?" Why the f*** would you do that s***?' he asked, referring to a sit-down interview Jada gave Will in 2020.

'She hurt him way more than he hurt me, OK,' Rock insisted, noting that following the slap: 'Everybody in the world called him a b***.

'I tried to call the motherf***** and give him my condolences. He wouldn't pick up for me.

'Everybody called him a b****,' the comedian continued. 'And who is he hitting? Me a n**** her knows h can be beat. That is some b**** a** s***. That I what the f*** happened, OK. I didn't do nothing to this motherf*****.

'Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars,' Rock recounted, referring to 2016, when Jada was going to boycott the awards ceremony as part of the #OscarsSoWhite protests.

'I shouldn't host because her man did not get nominated for [Concussion], the biggest piece of s**** ever. She starts it, I finished it.

'Nobody's picking on this b****- she started it. Nobody was picking on her. And then this n***** gives me a f****** concussion, OK. What the f*** man?'

'I love Will Smith, my whole life I loved this man - I watched him open for Run DMC at the Nassau Coliseum. I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life and now I watch Emancipation just to see him get whooped. Got me rooting for Masa.

'A lot of people are like "Chris why didn't you do nothing back?" Because I got parents that's why, because I was raised,' he concluded.

Some of the reviews seem biased. The Will apologists of course hated it.

by Anonymousreply 74March 5, 2023 10:38 AM

The beef with Jada started when she criticized him for hosting the Oscars, and his complaint was that she was trying to get him to turn down a paying gig. She was, she was saying that he cared more about the paying gig than her cause, which is ENTIRELY his right. Maybe he didn't think her cause was just, which is also completely fine. BUT he is a celebrity and sometimes celebrities are asked to boycott something. That's how the game works. He could have said no, moved on, but instead he's been bitching for six years about it, to the point that he's sounding like a little kid with the "she started it" crap.

People who hate Jada and Will are going to love what he said, but I think a lot of people don't care that much, and others remember that time he encouraged Louis CK and Ricky Gervais to call black people the n-word, and for that bit he did 25 years ago that made him so famous, about how some black people really are the n-words. That's catering to a white audience, but then he says he was raised not to fight in front of white people. It doesn't ring true.

This right here, I mean he WAS CRYING during the bit, AND he said that whole thing about how he loved Will Smith. He did exactly what he said he wasn't going to do! The only thing is that he didn't do it on Oprah, which I guess to him makes it different, but I don't know how.

No, because his whole deal was about making it look like Will was cuckolded by an evil woman, and Will took that humiliation out on him.

Once you bring up the poorly hidden fact that they're both bi and/or closeted and in an open relationship, that takes the sting out of the "cuck" insult.

Good is always good. Bad is always bad. Will Smith is bad. He did a bad thing, and you can't change that. I'm amused by it, because I'm twisted. But he did a stupid, bad thing and you will not change that and his ACTUAL victim, who is a comedian, gets to joke and tease about it, without violence, however he wants. No paid for press gets to judge or stop that.

However their behavior after the incident is what is appealing to me. No humility. They apologize but with pretense. Just in general how they behaved since the incident last year. I think Will Smith might actually be done.

R118 depends on their prenup or if there even is one. Smith always seemed kind of dumb to me, who pretty much lucked into his career, not unlike Marky Mark, coasting on their good looks, even though Smith has ears the size of Dumbo. There might be some affection or even love between the two. Who knows? He may think it’s not worth the effort to divorce her, considering she’d take him to the cleaners and then some, depending on the state of the prenup. She’s just the type of cunt to do so. They have an open marriage anyway. Since the kids are just about or all grown and will be out of the house, it’ll be interesting to see how it evolves, considering what went down last year on the biggest night of his career.

Will and Jada are Scientos, they don't talk about it publicly and for the most part the gossips don't really dwell on it too much. They are an odd couple, but they aren't dummies. Jada's Oscars So White was about Will not getting nominated, she doesn't give a fuck about diversity. They are two odd ducks who found each other and stay together because it's easier for the business and the brand. DL has cast Jada as some militant woke black woman, and to be fair she plays that up when it benefits her, but for anyone who knows her/them, that is not their life.

If Will Smith had slapped Chris Rock in a nightclub, or at a restaurant, or at a private party, it would be no big deal.

The thing is, he did it AT THE OSCARS. Hollywood's biggest night. The night the motion picture industry dedicates every year to patting itself on the back, in front of a worldwide audience. A night which marks a tradition that goes back decades, in which some of the greatest legends in entertainment history are recognized for their greatest work.

He not only sullied the entire industry with his idiotic actions, he made the entire Oscar machinery, and therefore Hollywood as a whole, look absolutely terrible because of their tone-deaf response by allowing him to remain at the ceremony, seemingly rewarding his violent buffoonery with an Oscar (although that's not how it works, it sort of felt like that anyway), giving him a standing ovation, letting him in at all the after parties, etc.

I wouldn't go so far to say he's completely done...but it's not inconceivable that he may be, at least for the near future. I don't think he'll ever go back to being the box office titan he was before. I'm pretty sure that aspect of his career is done.

But Hollywood also loves a good comeback story, so a few years down the line, we'll may be seeing him in some major projects again. Or, he may be reduced to making Tyler Perry schlock, just to pay the bills. Could go either way.

r130, I agree with your general point about the hypocrisy and selective outrage of Hollywood and bigots.

I part company with you on one thing with your comparisons to Polanski and Baldwin.

I didn't turn on my TV to watch the annual, can't-look-away-from-the-trainwreck of the AAs telecast ( and, of course, the DL thread) and expect to see, or want to see, a crime committed before my very eyes.

And no, to use the word "crime" isn't hyperbole. Smith's actions met the elements of, at least, disorderly conduct. And perpetrated, in real time, before an audience of millions.

I agree with you that Polanski's sexual assault of a child, and Baldwin causing the death of another human being are worse.

Still, Smith should've been immediately escorted by security from the scene.

And, of course, the sickening Standing O, and Smith's equally self-serving acceptance speech were enough to make a person puke.

I'm so glad Rock refused the offer to host this year's awards. Why should he let that room-full of chicken-shit hypocrites off the hook by giving them an opportunity to give Rock a Standing O?

And that's exactly what they seek and he'd be doing if Rock were to host - absolving them of their terrible act of applauding Smith.

Fuck that.

R130 I feel your sentiment. And the standing ovation was due to the fact many still did not know the slap wasn’t scripted until after the show.

of course, she does. . . Jada was always a freak, Will was more conservative. If scientology hadn't pushed her into his limelight, there's no telling where she would be. Separate from Will, her celeb could have been bigger than other black actresses of 90s. She's said as much (sans scientology part that will never be confirmed) . It's easy to see how someone could be messed up by that and trapped in marriage that's too much of an investment and financial hassle to leave but hate being in. That use dto be representative of many traditional relationships. And most of your parents before their (3rd, 5th) divorce.

I don't doubt she weaponizes her sexuality to deal with multiple issues. I'd toss her into the overachiever category, She reminds me of a certain goldwater girl.

No apology. No addressing the victim. No LAPD. No addressing a criminal assault on live television during a global telecast.

Jada's a twisted bitch and Will Smith is a whipped cuck but Chris relies on his coked-up-Rochester-from-Jack-Benny delivery to sell this material. He didn't need a year to craft the 9 minutes of Will and Jada material I saw in this special. No annihilations occurred and nothing wasn't revealed that hadn't already been overshared by the Smiths.

Thats why when Rock made the remark I was a bit confused but then I forgot the Smiths let their teenage kids hang out and befriend grown adults.

Btw, again this is a standup act. The wording of "your wife fucked your son's friend" could have been delivered for the comedic affect. It is actually the first I even heard that August and Jaden Smith were friends independent of the Smith parents.

I really enjoyed the special which isn’t a surprise since I’m a Chris Rock fan. I think he did a really good job at expressing just how pissed off he still is as well as how hurt he was because he was such a huge fan of Will’s since the beginning of Will’s career. And he also was able to make it clear, with humor, that Will slapping Chris was not in any way actually about Chris. That’s just who he spontaneously chose to lash out at because he could get away with it. Will’s real issue is of course having the whole world know his wife cheated on him and doesn’t even feel bad about it enough to keep that shit private.

The majority of the show wasn’t even about the Will thing tho. He covered a lot of topics.

The streaker was nearly 50 years ago at the 74 Oscars. You’d think they’d realize anything can go wrong and have plans to deal with whatever goes down on the show. The La La Land Moonlight fiasco was another thing (but not as egregious as Smith) where they just stood there with their thumbs up their asses while the producers of LLL were allowed to speak for minutes. With Smith, you simply escort him out of that building. There’s plenty of cops and security at the Oscars, and it could’ve been taken care of during a commercial or even before.

I may have only checked on DL once tonight but when I did it was on Prime Time, yet there are a veritable shit ton of posts like the "eating peanuts out of their shit" one here, and some crazy stuff on Meghan threads including extended rape-murder fantasies and someone who keeps repeating that Jeremy Clarkson "Game of Thrones" thing as if it's a brand new insult. Are these crazy people paying for accounts? Is that the only kind of person who pays to post now??

It was a rumor at the time that August was an underage teenage friend of Jaden's, and Chris was just spreading the rumor. It wasn't true, August is a lot older than that and I don't think he and Jaden were friends.

I think what some you are doing is failing to separate this from race. Jada shrewdly uses race as a card to play politically, and Chris doesn’t want to give up paid work over politics, and he’s offended that he’s expected to do that to keep Queen Jada happy. And Will can’t use his words.

None of it has much to do with race. I also found it hilarious that Chris said his mother taught him not to fight in front of white people lololol. So glad he did this show in Baltimore.

I will say though, as I get older, I’m becoming *more* liberal, not less, and I am very very tight with many black people, and it makes me more aware how conservative many black people can be (like Chris). But the difference between a black Conservative versus a White Conservative is night and day.

I couldn't get past the fact that he repeated every single sentence twice-- as if the audience was deaf and/or stupid. I don't ever think I saw him do this kind of delivery before.

Will Smith did not get away with a thing, he torched a career he carefully built in a violent and most public way.

If the producers of the show, had treated this incident like a medical emergency, gone to commercial while security escorted the Smiths out of the theater and called up the substitute host to replace Chris Rock, the Smiths might have still have careers.

As it is, they are finished.

R253

Basically. Chris Rock is a very much sexual traditionalist. His shtick is a sharp tongued geek but he possesses an old fashioned black machismo. He cheats on his wife, they try to patch it up, he keeps fucking around, she takes half and he’s very, very sorry. So far so normal.

Will and Jada are not traditionalists, they didn’t come from stable middle class homes like Chris, and they’re both pretty weird. They have a mutual open arrangement. Consider Bill Clinton - play outside if you like but keep it quiet and respectful and know where your home is. Will slept around and people gossiped, they separated, Jada hooked up with August. Only August blabbed.

The idea that Will Smith would talk about their open marriage, and how Jada didn’t cheat, publicly and to her, is mind boggling to traditional black men. They consider it completely emasculating. It’s one thing for men to confess their infidelity, it’s one thing for wives to get mad at their husbands infidelity, but for a woman to talk about her own extra-marital relationship fills them with rage.

It’s the black version of screaming “cuck” and “soy boy”.

It wasn't Jada or Rock. Will is a narcissist. His star has been falling for quite some time and he's lashing out. He used to be a superstar but hasn't had a blockbuster in years. He became a laughingstock because he made his weirdo family the center of his public persona. His Oscar was a lifetime achievement award from the industry to say 'thanks for all the money you made us in the 90s, now fuck off'. He dramatic chops are limited, the 50+ male action genre played out, his comedic options thin as his type of humor suited his younger years. He should have taken the hint and transitioned completely to producing. Now he's fucked, because no one wants to work with him because of the slap. His fans jump on Rock, but Rock didn't kill Smith's reputation or career. Smith did.
