That's asking too much of those who grow up thinking physical assailt is the way to be a manly man. |
Whose comedy do you enjoy? Dick Cheney? Good grief. |
Ironically, My fave comics are subversive males but they manage to show respect for women in their humor |
Way to go Netflix and Chris Rock. You got what you wanted.
We are all talking about it. It was a the first live streaming stand-up special. Chris Rock even flubbed a joke (even more authentic to the notion of it being LIVE) Chris Rock is almost 60.I would bet he isn't crying over not winning over any new fans after last night. He gets paid for telling jokes - funny or not. The timing is not a coincidence. Netflix offered him a pay day to tell jokes a week before the anniversary of the Oscars slap. He had to include something about Will Smith. He spent the last year working out jokes for this. The "I'm mad at Will" jokes likely was therapy for him. and started right after the Oscars last year. Regardless of how he really feels today, he would likely tell the joke he has been perfecting over the past 11 months (instead of scrapping that to say, "After all this time, I forgive Will.") Chris Rock gets more nor less $ if DCUM approves of him or his jokes. Netflix is not going anywhere just because we all have "selective outrage" against Chris Rock. the only one losing is everyone who has their underwear in a wad arguing on this thread. I am loving the entertainment!!! PS take a look at all of the Dave Chappell specials out there. Everyone hates Dave. He is racking up $$ The controversy is lucrative. Who knew?! |
You took it literally when he said his ears were still "ringing with Summertime"? Okay. It's a bit. I dont think you have the disposition to understand comedy. If you made a public spectacle of your marriage, the way Jada did by telling Will she cheated--WHILE INTERVIEWING HIM ON HER SHOW-- people are going talk. Thats why they made it public, to get people to talk. And they did and said far worse things than "Jada has a GI Jane haircut" which is just a fact. There's no self examination here. Jada and Will dont respect Chris Rock and think they can push him around and smack him. They apparently dont that about Howard Stern and Charlemagne the God who both literally called him a b--tch. And at this point, I dont think they called him a name so much as accurately observed that she's an evil sadist and he's a skerred little b--tch. |
Has Rock has a little bit of a problem with women at least since he got divorced and his wife got such a huge settlement? He has been very angry about him making a fortune from comedy and her getting half (or whatever) of it just from being married to him, raising the kids etc. He has joked about this, and I can see this attitude carrying over to other women in his comedy. |
Eddie Murphy told him that was gonna happen. Should've listened. |
Yeah well he has made sexual assault jokes and judgy abortion jokes that make light of reasons why women may need abortions … |
Eddie's joke starts off that he saw article in National Enquirer that said "Johnny Carson's wife gets half"... and that he himself didn't listen |
\ I think it was big of him not to react AT ALL to being slapped on camera at the Oscars. That takes some serious balls. |
+1 Will's background and "style," were on full display to the world, and Chris respomded with class. |
Yeah he thinks it was big of himself as well - he likened himself to stoic pro boxer … (more likely a sign of being slow witted in the moment and/ or stunned mullet syndrome) But his rationale one year later was one of his funny jokes - my parents raised me not to fight in front of white people … |
Because when you're raised by decent people, your first instinct ISN'T to fight. |
Decent people also raise sons who don’t make fun of sexual assaults, abortions and women in general. |
