[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.  Getting slapped hasn’t made him less misogynistic or particularly funny. I’m not the audience he seems to crave.

Plus one

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.[/quote]You want a pc comic?[/quote]

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

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.

[b]I am entitled to not find misogynistic black bro jokes not funny or deserving fan fare [/b]

If he had been more honest about himself I would have been way more forgiving. [/quote]

+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.[/quote]
