Comedians react to Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Oscars. #KevinHart #SteveHarvey #DLHughley #RickeySmiley #CoreyHolcomb #JimmyKimmel #DamonWilliams #Godfrey #PaulMooney #WillSmith #ChrisRock
DL got the realest take: A *whole lot* of black talent got recognized that night - and now *none* of that will be remembered cause this dummy snapped live at the Oscars.
Corey's bit on this is just the beginning. If Will thought it was bad before, DAMN he in for a comedic beat down like never before. Will just created soooo much material for comedians!
Yep and they are gonna all rally around Chris and give it to him EVERY chance they get for the next little while. He needs to buckle in because it is coming! Them jokes are gonna be raining down. He may have thought he got away with what he did but.......
Everybody talking about Jada’s alopecia and Will’s mental/emotional baggage and ain’t nobody talkin about how Chris Rock has been open about his trauma from being bullied and physically abused throughout his childhood. I can’t even begin to imagine the trauma that came as a result of this and in the moment, he handled it like an absolute champion. Gained a hell of a lot of respect for Chris. Lost a lot for Will. What he did shows that he has so little control over his life, his emotions, and his home. He needs help. And instead of admitting that he needs help, he chose to stand up there and hail himself as some sort of champion defender of his family. That mf lost his mind. That was some b*tch *ss sh*t. That’s all it was. Nothin else.
@@-Epiphany I do not. A guy being bullied in childhood ending up in a career that is basicly only based on roasting others (what is basicly bulliing) is just becoming what he freared. And having that childhood background he should have known the line not to cross. I am from europe and not interested in Hollywood gossip... but I knew about why Mrs Smith is bold... so if I know, people in the Hollywood microcosmos should have known and the whole preperation of the Oscars did a bad job in advance. That joke was not improviced... the responsibles should have checked what will be said on stage.
Agree on every point. I will never look at either of them the same way again. I gained so much respect for Chris and the way he handled it. I don't have the words to say how much respect I lost for Will.
...and another thing too, I agree with Rickey is; everybody there at the Oscars was treating Will as he was a hero or a victim. Nobody asked if Chris Rock was he okay, and that is wrong...
Him and Wanda got a point. This would of been any of us normal folk walking up there and slapping the shit out of Chris, we should have 4 bodyguards body slam us and throw us the fuck out the arena/theater and then arrested. Will doing that shit, doing on some Kanye-style acceptance rant, and then dancing his ass off at the after party is gross and all them celebrities are spineless.
Will Smith just put another nail in comedy's coffin. Every single day someone is OFFENDED by something a comedian says. It's getting to the point that the art of comedy will be dead, because nobody knows the meaning of a "joke" anymore.
@@rubytuesday5567 if you think that was the line then you, along with sensitive Will, should never ever attend a comedy show. I miss the days of Raw before all this wokeness.
I think Jada hates Will because he's so much more successful than she is, but then, who isn't? She resents him and now she's destroyed his greatest professional moment, or got him to destroy it which is even worse.
DL Hughley nailed it. When you aired your dirty laundry in the public, don't be surprised that others would use it as an ammunition for an attack or joke. Will and Jada are delusional that others wouldn't use it as a joke.
DL did a good job explaining why Will lost it, but he pandered his way through his comments not taking up for Chris and publicly saying how f’ed up Will’s actions were. Poor Will and Jada got feelings hurt. WTF?
@@jamesbonderant2346 Well said ! I'm a big fan of Chris Rock and DL Hughley and was very disappointed in that take too - I think that DL Hughley recently corrected that - I hope that's true
Rock is from BK but he's no fighter. He's a low key dude!! He talked abt being robbed several times in his professional career in BK djring his SNL days!! He weighs a buck 40ish on his best day! Rock is almost 60 yo & was assaulted by a mid 50 yo dude in the best shape of his life. And even will is no Alpha( Which is one of the main reasons Jada has no respect for him...) but he's bigger & stronger than Rock so it was not even close to a fair fight. He picked on a dude that even on his best day could not best him in a fight and will knew that. It was a cowards move. Hed have never stepped to a white comdian or even other blk comedians who are way more hood & Alpha than Rock. Rocks an intellectual. Hes a smart clever dude, a wordsmith of sorts... Hes not a bare knuckle react with violence kinda dude. It was so unfair & inexcusable.
@@seriouslyjoking2 no cover for will for that behavior. If he could climb such a ladder of success and overcome handicaps of childhood and reach the heights he has reached. He should have been able to contain himself. He dishonored himself big time no excuses.
Chris Rock was actually the only one thinking about his family. If he would have attacked him back it would have been harder for him to secure any future projects. Now if myself or any regular person slapped him he would have defended himself accordingly
@@samdoe4029 that makes sense. That and it was not the right place or the right time. I did not know that Jada Pinkett Smith had alopecia. I had no clue until a few days ago. And I understand we'll did what he thought he should do as a husband. But as a person who has been attacked before in the past before she knew Jesus Christ and was unprotected I felt Chris best believe a big fat check is coming signed by Will Smith & Company.
@@janellerollins5893 It could take Chris a while to heal from this humiliating public assault. In my opinion, he would have to sue in court if he wants $$ that he deserves
@@4homemail Chris Rock was born in New Jersey but was raised in the same place and lived at the same time in New York, Bed Stuy, that Biggie smalls grew up. Chris Rock is not scared, nor was his reaction to take the hit on the chin. He remembered where he was, what his job was, and what the best course of action was at the time. The dog in Rock was to clench up, and not allow himself to be hit or swung on by anyone, but not only did he not retaliate, didn't dodge, block or run, he realized ooh, you lucky. Rock would have messed up Smith's face, but he realized who he was and what his job was and still made another joke with "Will Smith just smacked the shit outta me." Rock is a national treasure. I liked the man before, he's THE man now.
Loved how this guy spoke so respectfully as well as truthfully without throwing dirt or making fun of an already bad situation. Eloquently and respectfully conveyed with a healthy balanced view. 👏
I always say that if you don't want people in the streets talking about your business then don't put your business out there in the streets for them to talk about in first place! That Red table talk put all their business in the public streets.
Ricky Smiley "It's a lot of single women out here because they're spouse is in the cemetery because they put their hands on somebody talking about stand of for black women" 🗣🗣🗣😂😂😂. He preached an entire sermon & mad me laugh all at the same time
Corey had me rolling. He truly was savage. Will just got the opposite reaction that he wanted now. People are coming out with 10X worse jokes than Chris Rock. OUCH LOL
Yeah Corey just gave no f**** 😩😆. Will ain’t gon be able to slap everybody up. He should’ve stayed in his seat. What Chris said was a compliment in comparison to these responses. They probably need to remove themselves from the public for awhile and stay away from the red table.
Steve Harvey pointed out something I hadn't thought of - Will Smith turned his back on Rock after slapping him because he KNEW he wouldn't do anything about it. He'd never do that if he weren't on national TV. And yet now there are thousands - if not millions - defending Smith rather than denouncing more unnecessary black on black violence!
Let me tell you. I literally told my sister that Will walked away fast as hell because he really didn't know how Chris was going to react and because he wouldn't do it in front of all those people.
will wanted to show his trampoline that he is a man and she need to stop banging jayden friends ! the one problem is, will muscled up, put all his effort into that slap and chris rock barely budged ... so, after all of that to prove that he is a man jada would have at least made chris cried if she had slapped him herself... imagine august telling will and jayden before jada told them that they were in a open marriage that he just tagged this bad ass old chick who is married to some loser and both of them laughed only to find out that he was talking about will....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I could see will wanting to slap august and jada told him, I wish you would and see what happens. I wonder if jayden gave august a highfive after he tagged mommy while will was in the closet crying
Chris Rock thought for a second "should I also react like a kid and ruin this whole show or should I take the slap, the shame & the pain alone?) He took it all & that selflessness. I love Chris but this singular act took it to a whole new level. Chris Rock was the bigger man. Say no to violence of any form.
Prior to the Oscars she did a broadcast and out of her own mouth she said "I DON'T GIVE TWO SH*TS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT MY BALD HEAD" THOSE ARE HER OWN WORDS!
I'm 67 Blk female and Jada is cold. She could have stopped Will from going on stage and slapping Chris. It could have been worse...and she sat next to him while he yelled out profanity. Was she trying to destroy Will? Her telling that entanglement story on TV hurt him.
Love this! Truly impressed with everything he had to say. And I think at some point we need to forgive Will. Yes Chris Rock was assaulted and should’ve been checked on. TBH, Jada was the one who took this wrong way. GI Jane is HOT! I wear a pixie cut and from back been called sir until I turn around and then they tell me how pixie looks good on me. Lol. I didn’t see it as an insulting joke. Just the opposite. I think everyone wasn’t sure it was real or not.
of course...Chris rock did no rea harm....the problem is Jada the women can't keep her mouth clothes and has embarrased will way to many times and made him the laughing stock to everyone. The red table talk show she had....was the worst thing to happen to him
@@lovelivelaugh4542 Exactly and they're going to use Red Table Talk to talk about this incident. What more can they say when they have humiliated themselves discussing personal stuff! Clowning is as clowning does.
It was an "empowerment" joke. Demni Moore said she wasn't defined as a woman by her hair when she shaved her head for the GI Jane role, I guess Will Smith doesn't feel that way about his wife...lol
after telling chris rock not to talk about his girl in 2016.. Then Chris rock does it again.. with a GI jane joke 1. joking about her hair. which shes going bald and 2. the actress in that movie cheated on her husband with a younger guy too.. so he was warned and did it again. so okay you gone keep playig with me right? now ima slap you on national tv.. people may think its wrong.. but jada loved it.. btw it revived chris career sold out chris rock shows? chris is a grown man lol he coulda reacted and choose not too. people so sensitive. Yall forget russia bombing people rn? lol
My then 15 year old boy told me that he was in a supermarket with his dad when his dad joked with a guy that ‘if you see me with a fat woman, I’m Holding her for the police ‘ . The guy was accompanied by a big women . The guy looked at my ex and grabbed his woman and gave her a kiss and hugged her and both looked at my ex while holding hands like lovebirds . My kid says they never uttered a word to my ex and he was embarrassed and walked away from them . Will should have stood up , walked over to Jada and gave her a hug and a kiss. He’d have gotten a standing ovation for that . Instead he acted like a big fool
@@bohemianlamb4309 If he can set that up then I would be honored to watch Will and Jada to get roasted on live TV. Hell if it was a PPV event then I'd throw my money at my TV and say take it and show the roasting
@Chris yea you don't understand what comedy is. Plus that joke was soo mild, will just looks like a b*tch defending a woman who cheats on him all the time lmao
Will Smith congratulations on your Oscar win. Will Smith won the ‘best actor’ award at the Oscars. He had played the role of Serena and Venus Williams’ father in the ‘King Richard’ movie.
This incident makes me more angry when people aren't really talking of it on how it is just cause its Will Smith or they are friends with. Chris handled it like a champ, and he has gained much more respect from so many of us. Will Smith's anger is clearly misplaced and his actions should be accounted for its that simple!
After watching that red table bs between Will & Jada, I agree 100% with Corey Holcomb. Jada made Will’s night, his highest point of his long career , about Her. He needs to get away from that woman, I hope this terrible event opens his eyes.
When Will said "get my wife's name out of your fuckin mouth", Chris mumbled "oh I could..." but he stopped from finishing that sentence. Had a feeling Chris was about to destroy that man's career. Chris was the better man in this as he could've easily gone to town on their entire crazy ass family but held himself to higher standards. Can't wait for the next specials! hahahahahaha
I sure did catch that whole... "Oh I could," and then a thoughtful pause. Im with you, I think he thought about what he could say in that moment, but decided not to make it worse. We don't know what he was gonna say, but it was definitely something there..lol.
I DID NOT expect Corey to turn the word "alopecia" into the hardest clap back I've heard! 😯. I literally spit out my drink when I heard that! Man... He went IN on Jada, for real...
Dude at 10:30 is smart. I agree with him 100%....I thought Will Smith ironically immasculated himself instead of making himself look tough. Chris Rock took the slap and kept going like nothing happened
I’m Team Chris on this one… I think he deserved an award for the swift recovery after a crazy situation. And as far as the joke that, for some reason, I’ve been hearing people refer to it as an ‘alopecia’ joke..Chris Rock did not joke about alopecia, he joked about a haircut. And I have hair loss, much more than Jada currently exhibits, that I have experienced for most of my adult life (20+ years of it) and I’m tired of people assuming I should be sensitive to Chris’ joke… And if we want get to the real problem, how about let’s expose the real pressure among women which is that I’ve been pressured by a lot of women to shave my head. “Like, just do it, it’s so easy.. you’ll feel better once you do it.” Pressured by women who are not experiencing any hair loss, that have a full head of hair.🙄 No! 🤬 I will do what I want… when/if I get ready for that stage. Perhaps this was a sore subject for Jada because society has pressured her to think that she has to accept the short cut before she is ready. She didn’t have to, but she looks good with it, she has a nice shaped head. Being compared to Demi Moore (as GI Jane) was also a compliment because that character still looked good either way too. However I don’t feel sorry for Jada. She has a gajillion dollars and can afford to look however she pleases. Most of us don’t have all the options she has at her fingertips. People saying she doesn’t have control over how she looks.. actually, she does, because she can buy any look she wants…She could buy a whole new head if she wants…on the other hand, I wish I had those unlimited options at my fingertips but I don’t. She didn’t have to shave her head. It was a choice. Will Smith has been looking for someone to slap for a long time now…Chris Rock was the only one he knew he could get away with that😅 he probably wanted to slap Regina Hall and Rebel Wilson for the jokes they made about Jada and all her boyfriends, then he probably also wanted to slap Jada for making their family the butt of all the jokes (by telling all their personal business/dirty laundry at table talk (and with the boyfriend, that was her son’s age) and lastly he probably wanted to slap himself for allowing this all to come to a head😅. I do think that the reason people were forced to take a hard look at Will Smith’s behavior, in the aftermath, was mainly because Chris Rock handled the situation better than most people would have. When forced to look at the juxtaposition of the two successful black men in Hollywood, and their behavior/responses, side by side, the obvious conclusion should have been the undeniable observation being the one that held it together vs the one that could not. Had Chris Rock responded with the same violent behavior that Will Smith did initially, this could have been analyzed completely different and we all might be having a completely different conversation. I am so glad Chris Rock did not lose himself in that moment. And lastly, I think the thing that is most upsetting to me is that we have been complaining/boycotting for the lack of diversity from previous year awards (and Oscars ‘oh so white’ stuff) and then the first moment they okay it, well, ‘so-called’ okay for more black and brown presence, what the heck do we do??….Be so sensitive about a joke? Come on. If we really want to be equal then we are not exempt to the same roasting that occurs (no matter the race, gender, etc).. we can’t use excuses like black women are sensitive to their hair.. and if they can’t take it, they shouldn’t be sitting up in the front (in the roasting section)🙄 but this goes deeper I said the same thing when President Obama became the first black President. We were proud and happy that it happened, but others should have been able to criticize him, just like they’ve criticized every single president that came before him. That shows me the mindset has changed and we are all the same.. but if people have to walk on eggshells around us (for fear of being accused of being racist) then we aren’t equal… but it’s because the people (us) who want to have a seat at the table of equality, haven’t really convinced ourselves that we are all equal. And that’s not the other group’s fault… that’s the fault of the people who want to sit there too. Once we free ourselves of that mental enslavement and mindset, our communities will get over this little chip we have on our shoulders, but until then we will continue to see this broken mindset and degenerate more still and nobody on the outside can heal that (solve that) fix that. This has to be fixed on the inside. There is no amount of free stuff, or reparations, or apologies, or groveling, or amounts of affirmative action that will solve this currently unsolvable puzzle within the black community.
I feel bad for Will, super fcking dissapointed by his actions. Jada has literally poisoned the guy to the core, he's stuck and can't get out of that toxic relationship.
This has to be the most virtuous thing I have ever seen. Chris Rock had the mental clarity to understand the situation on how it would look, as this show was produced by a black cast. To be slapped at the Oscars and keep your composure like he did, just WOW!
If Mooney were here he would have gutted Will with the jokes. RIP to Paul the only documented man to ever keep it 💯. Godfrey, thank you for that. Your impression is Oscar worthy🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
I love Comedians, please don't stop. I'm Puerto Rican and have laughed at jokes made about us. I mean what is this world coming to when people are violated for cracking a joke.
The stark contrast between Chris Rock and Will Smith is astonishing. Chris Rock is already processing the repercussion far out into the future, while Will Smith is trapped in the moment. I have so much respect and admiration for Chris Rock, made a bad situation less worse.
Hi Rising Phoenix, I agree but had to chuckle when you wrote, "made a bad situation less worse". ..just thought what you wrote made a funny situation less unfunniest. 🤣
Had he not made that disrespectful remark, yet again against a black woman, we wouldn't be having this conversation....he is NOT the Saint in this!! Smdh
I also commend Chris Rock for handling the situation professionally and respectfully as he did ,I totally respect Mr Rock for being the bigger and better man which has shown the world how wonderful and graceful person he is hats off to Chris Rock ❤️🙏🏽😇
Chris Rock is not a man let alone the better man, A man doesn't pick on another man's wife in front of thousands of people for a cheap laugh. !! TWAT !
Hey wrong is wrong. Bottom line words do hurt like a stick at times. For them to be comedians I can't believe they didn't realize Mr. Rock did not care to throw stones. That was proof he said it stepping out as a comedian, I can be first to believe it was not said in disrespect. I did notice he tried to make a recovery for his speech but said that was a good one. He respectfully had no rebuttal to recover Jane was no joke I believe indirectly he said the same about her. Her art is nice that's no joke she look like a toy house she so small. She got that respect she no joke people keep telling me they don't play with kids and I'm beyond grown. I had to burn freedom of speech down now my community playing is the only joke. Embrace cause Will and Rock are both great. Further more that's they personal conversation but because they are media figures they have no privacy give them that or they all may need to give a slap
Robert Andrews: You know, I thought about him - making jokes about this but Dave is still in an odd situation himself. I hope he gives the world a true and serious perspective. The higher intelligent comedians are not telling jokes right now.
Steve Harvey doesn't have a leg to stand on. All of you black folks shut up and use that same energy to go open some black hospitals, black nursing schools, law schools for black people..Shut up!
Corey at 19:26 At one point after the slap Chris Rock said "Oh I could oooh ok". You know he was doing his best to hold back. He probably wanted to say exactly what Corey says.
It woulda been really bad. He woulda made it worse. If Will Smith SLAPPED HIM OVER A BAD JOKE??? He woulda stomped mudholes in datazz over some GOOD ONES! 😆😆😆😆
DL you're right Jada had no shame in airing their dirty laundry, she's ashamed of being bald but not sleeping with your son's best friend. Wow! CHRIS ROCK WON THE TRUE OSCAR.
Seriously that’s some scandalous trifling stuff me and my kids mother are not together and I still would never look at my daughters friends like that real talk.
Chris messed up and had to take it. Period......he was warned and web off script.......that there is an on going love hate struggle. All of the ingredients are in that cake. Ask Loni Love.
@@sunshine9717 Not funny, part of the problem and why Black decent women are alone or with other men. It's just not funny. Everyone of them are about light eyes, long hair women.......so they are proof that Chris's joke was mean spirited! Drop the mic!
I love Will and Chris. Just saying, basic parenting 101 is that we teach our children you can’t hit someone just because you don’t get your way or you don’t like what they say.
So true nothing but professionalism he blew me away with his final words on that ghettoistic conduct of Will. I'll say for Will Smith he got the award but he should give it back.
@@johnclement7473 Will Smith just put a stain on himself. Chris Rock had nothing to do with lil Willie's wife cheating. Hitting Chris won't hurt August or clean Jada's rep!!!
The ONLY reason Will cried alligator tears was because at that moment , he realized his life off screen , sucks so bad and it wasn't Chris's fault. "Players F up to ya know."
He's worth how much? He's had side hos for years and will continue. I would spend my money and give everybody the middle finger. He's been nice long enough.
Corey is a little taste of what a lot of comedians are gonna do and I love it. It just shows what Chris Rock could’ve said on the stage but stayed professional.
If you watch the clip and listen to it real closing Chris Rock was about to say some shit but he caught himself held his composer and just handle it professionally
I think Rock knew this in the moment, perhaps why he stopped himself from saying more. The fruit is so low hanging he didn't even have to risk anything because anyone can make the jokes.
Chris Rock said "oh I can...oh ok" he was about to speak on the "entanglement" but he caught himself, just watch the clip and listen to it closely you'll see what I'm talking about
That's my main thing. Somebody walking up to you, after you just popped off...the least you should do is prepare yourself. Don't matter where we at. Protect yourself at all times.
Chris rock is a c()()n. U never see how real someone is until they are in a situation they dont want to be in. He let jersy down because he was being "professional " for master.
An older woman once told me there are a lot of good men in jail and in the grave because of a conniving, disloyal, dirty, evil woman. I didn't give much thought to what she said BUT now I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there's some truth to what she said.... This whole situation could have ended in a horrible tragedy.
Yes, I absolutely agree with you but sometimes circumstances aren't so cut and dry. My high school friend was set up by a female. She invited him to her house. Another guy was there waiting for him. My friend was literally shot in his open mouth. I don't know all the details but the end result is my friend is now buried in a grave.
Rickey Smiley's opinion is spot on. Chris gets paid to roast people .What Will and the Oscars did has put all comedians at risk they approved the censorship of comedians with violence. In medieval times, the court jester was the only person who was allowed to speak freely and even insult the monarch without repercussions.
Going after Chris Rock on stage or back stage just showed Will’s codependency issues. Will and Jada just blew a GI Jane movie opportunity. Carry on Chris Rock!
DL Hughley kinda sounded like he danced around condemning will for it. I’m sure Chris rock did not know about her alopecia and if he did he probably forgot. To get so offended to hit someone for a joke referencing your wife to a strong female role because of her style of hair is ridiculous. Amber rose and many other females have had that same style. I’m sure no one sees it and thinks alopecia. That whole family is twisted and honestly Iv lost a lot of respect for will because of this. Like all that energy for Chris rock but not august alsina
IKR, right, he makes me tired when he analyze situations! 🙄 *signs* While, talking he throws up the 666 symbol. 🤦♀️ I rewind it to the next person. He knows he can’t say too much about his fellow boule partner. Will, will probably smack the boule out of him.
@Ladie Vee there you go with the ifs and buts,if that person you claimed would slap him back ,had been talking about his wife for years,they would've gotten the same results Chris did.he went to him as a man and asked him to stop and he kept going basically saying f you will.the punk shit was antagonizing him.
Man, Hughley sounds awfully intelligent and well spoken.....comedians really are some of the smartest and quickest people. Their brain is always spinning!
Most comedians are going about this out of emotion (same way Will did). Hughley gathered his thoughts and assessed the situation. Will has been getting shit on for years, while still putting on a brace face and smiling. Laverne Cox made an entanglement joke to their face a few weeks ago. That has to tear u down. Ppl snap. It happens. Doesn’t make it right.
DL nailed it. Comedy is going to be going through the roof and I'm here for it. Corey said what every one wants to say. Chris' shows are selling out left and right.
