You misspelled fake as “woke.” He’s not exactly mocking Tarana Burke when he talks about Jada or Meghan M.

Yup, let's unpack what first pp said.

He seems kind of entertained by fake women playing the woke card. Some of his best work imho.

Why are pro-choice people are so pissed about this? I know this was his joke, but I swear it's exactly how I feel. I think abortion is wrong, but I also understand in some situations, every choice is wrong and we have to do what's best for us/our family. I believe it's killing a baby in every single case, but I still support your right to do it. Isn't that exactly what Chris is saying? Why are we wrong?

Agreed. People get mad when you voice this opinion tho-- if you dont say they are a clump of cells until about preschool, you're basically the ruler of Gilead.

Because it isn't a baby. You are telling women who chose to have an abortion that they have murdered a baby. You are no different than rwnjs.

Please don't derail by starting this debate.

Chris rock looks so old and he’s not funny never has been

The audience laughs in the second half sounded polite and forced to the point of being awkward. For example the jokes about Meghan Markle didn’t land very well (like there was almost an imperceptible pause with one of them, while people figured out if it was actually funny).

I am someone who gives a lot of latitude to comics to be offensive and nothing he said offended me (I go to a lot of comedy, I’ve heard way worse), but overall the show was almost worse than offensive: it was boring.

If he had made it half the length and cut out most of the second half, it would have been a lot better.

I saw it live in Oct as well and found it very funny from beginning to end. The area I was sitting in agreed. We all said things like “classic CR is back.” His Bigger and Blacker is one of my all time favorite comedy stand ups

PP here. I’m glad it landed well when you saw it. I’m sure it was refined as the tour went on. It was just so disappointing and boring when I saw it. Never thought I’d see a Chris Rock show where the audience just fell silent after an attempted joke.

He is also a hypocrite since he has selective outrage and targets fellow POC ( his targets mostly black folks) while playing the race card for himself.

He continues to be a jerk to Jada … Will can’t defend her or their marriage …

Now a Jerk to Meghan and misrepresenting the racism she experienced. Meghan said herself never experienced racism prior to dating Harry and passed for Mediterranean or whatever before. It was her mother who warned her the hate was race based.

Self indulgent - don’t believe that slap hurt as much as he makes out … it was a slap not a punch Chris.

Playing victim card that he tried to be nice to Will after that interview about infidelity when Chris has history of talking badly about Jada. Chris acting like Will did not apologize when he did - profusely and multiple times.

And the nonsense blaming Jada for starting the feud back in 2016 when she allegedly asked him to stop hosting the Oscar’s as she was upset Will did not get an Oscar nod that year. Doubt that is even true but anyhoo He made multiple vulgar quips about Jada after that and he made one again last year while hosting the Oscars mocking both her career and her medical hair loss.. (Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2. Can’t wait to see it.” Will laughed at first, saw his wife’s hurt and defended her honor in a stupid way but apologized profusely.

While Rock was making himself out to be a hero for taking last year’s slap like the professional boxer Manny Paqquiao, he failed to admit he had made yet another joke at Jada’s expense. He failed to acknowledge multiple apologies.

He also makes lots of jokes against women. He has made sexual assault jokes in past and trivializes reasons why women may need abortions (why do those positions often go hand in hand?)

He is full of sh$$t and lacks self awareness, grace or actual modesty.

You want a pc comic?

It is possible to be funny while being more self aware and self depreciating - rather than a self righteous hypocrite.

Possible yes. But the nature of stand up comedy is being observant and finding humor in everything things that otherwise are not. Name top 20 comedians and then how may of those are PC. Spoiler Alert: Most are not. Self-deprecating? I personally don't want to hear an overweight comedian talk about being fat or a black comedian talk about how terrible it is to be black. I guess some people do, but that is not who Chris Rock is. It is so hard for me to understand why people cannot understand that you do nothave to like everything that other people do. We live in America. You have the option to turn it off. Saying he is "full iof sh$t". is acting like a immature kid saying a specific food is gross. The absolute language is not called for and using it seems like a l"ack of self-awareness and grace". And it just makes everyone tune you out and become defensive. Just say "I don't like it" would be more effective. Your taste is not everyone else's.

I am entitled to not find misogynistic black bro jokes not funny or deserving fan fare

If he had been more honest about himself I would have been way more forgiving.

+1. I felt the same. There wasn’t the acknowledgment of a deep truth with the joke or a vulnerability of themselves as part of the joke. Where he mentioned people by name, it felt like he was picking on them rather than it being a funny joke. And at least the first half hour I watched I felt he went harder on woman than on the men.

I actually can’t believe the people in here that we’re offended by special. I just watched it a 2nd time and it was classic Chris rock. I don’t think he’s angrier or whatever that y’all are talking about.

[Anonymous]

He is funny and cynical.

[Anonymous]

Just saw a report saying they edited out the blundered joke about Will Smith.

I wonder if Rock did the live show precisely to say what he wanted to say and have the wiggle room to edit out anything that didn’t sit well or even have the option to pull it out after the world heard it in an effort to make himself look compassionate.

I don’t watch a lot of comedy but he also repeated practically everything he said twice. Is that normal?

[Anonymous]

He didn't abide by unwritten rule for woke folks to not criticize Meghan and Harry.

I don’t think it was offensive. I thought it was boring. It was kind of depress how he came across as this whiny, entitled, old dude shaking his first at the sky. I really miss the fiery and sharp CR of old.

I thought he was on his game, for sure. Hilarious

No he didn't look old. I have to say he has aged really well.

Always thought he was funny, liked most of the special and thought it was funny.

He says stuff that people don't like to hear and some of it isn't funny. It's just true. And sad. so there is that.

He doesn’t need your forgiveness. You’re a PITA, and I don’t mean the bread surrounding a gyro, sweetie.

OK Wallet

I know you’d find more love on Lipstick Alley. You’re stupid is a little too glaring here for people who don’t need their husbands to commit crimes on a stage...

Did Jada say she needed Will to defend her? This was on him and him alone. Chris rock told a classless joke at an event where host rarely take deeply personal jabs at nominees or their guests. The Oscars is not some hole in the wall comedy club. He was out of line. He didn’t deserve to be publicly slapped, but I hardly feel sorry for him. If Will was smart, he would have practiced some self control and taken the time during his acceptance speech to address the issue. If he had, he would have been the hero and Chris would have been exposed for the jerk he is.

Dp- just get a wig. Your hair loss isn’t a big deal.

Hm, interesting insight. My dear friend is suffering from endometrial cancer. She just finished her chemo rounds before her surgery. Out of everything she is going through right now, she was just lamenting her hair loss. Maybe it is not big deal, right. SMH

So she has cancer and not a wandering vulvar area and a need to humiliate her husband?

What’s the relevance of your sad anecdote?

You’re ignorant. You said hair loss is no big deal. It is a big deal for many women for different reasons. It has nothing to do with a wandering vulvar, but when you have a limited thought process I guess that’s all you can imagine.
