Everybody Hates Chris - Leaving Home 

I think a lot of people are missing Chris’ point. Chris isn’t complaining about the dishes,it’s the unfairness of the situation. Why is he the ONLY one cleaning???

Those ladies at the salon were straight gaslighting Chris it really pissed me off that everyone expected Chris to apologize when he did nothing wrong.

bro got kicked out and still nobody was doing them dishes 😂😂

“If you want it clean so bad how about you go do it” it was quiet after that🤣

Can we talk about how Chris's dad, worked 2 jobs, came home, left to find his son, and still had the energy to talk him into coming home without losing his cool?

Chris gets up extra early everyday to catch 3 busses. Gets bullied. Gets racist remarks from his classmates and teachers. Takes his busses home. Works a part time job. Does his homework. Goes to bed. Chris is right. Respect for parental authority doesn't mean jack shit when parental authority doesn't respect you.

I'll never forget Rose's(Chris Rock's real mom) reaction to Rochelle. "I knew that I was a strict mother but I didn't think I was that bad." XD

That lady who was “talking sense” into chris really pissed me off. She missed the whole point of him leaving in the first place

Tanya and Drew are right. Rochelle took it too far with Chris. Drew and Tanya are capable of doing chores around the house including dishes. Their hands are not broken.

You know Rochelle was wrong when Julius wasn’t backin down.

What’s crazy is even though it’s unfair, Tanya nor Drew even offered to help Chris. They clearly see it’s wrong, but instead just let him take the heat for sure laziness.

I love the personalities between Tonya and Drew. Tonya, although she loves Chris, she's still in the immature stage of her childhood; wanting to selfishly take one of Chris' belongings: his radio. Although Tonya protests against Chris leaving, as loving sister would, she still doesn't seem too concerned. Whereas Drew is more mature, and decides to give some of his money to Chris. Whether it be only $1 or $5, it's clearly an act of selflessness, and he seems genuinely worried about his brother.

I like how Drew gives him money in a I support you way. That's real brotherly love right there. Edit: Typo

I’m on Chris’s side on this one.

The fact that Rochelle couldn’t even say that she kicked him out says it all, I swear it’s like parents (especially mothers) can’t ever admit when they’re wrong just because “I’m the parent!”, like you kicked him out and there’s NO WAY around it

Rochelle was so wrong in this and I have so much respect for the dad for coming back home after working 2 jobs and still kept his cool and was understanding for poor Chris. I feel so bad for chris though

Rochelle: "I didn't kick him out Drew he left"Chris: "After you kicked him out"

he's daddy cares more then his mother does

I was on Chris’s side on this one. I’m the older sibling and the daughter of immigrants. I had to do everybody’s work while I had a brother who was coddled and did nothing. I did my work, his, had to play interpreter, and got all sorts of things dumped on me. He was able to have a childhood and I was stuck cleaning up after everybody. That’s not fair.

Totally relate to this. I remember my mother yelling at me because I was watching TV with the rest of the family when she wanted me to help her cook. As a boarding school pupil home for the holidays, TV was a rare privilege because it wasn't allowed in the dorms. Meanwhile my younger sister who still couldn't cook at age 13 wasn't reprimanded, and I'd started when I was 11. Unfair.

Chris's life sucks. Honestly, I can relate.....

“ i left the house before my mother ask for her suitcase back “ 😂😂💀

Julius was the only adult on this show that wasn't absolutely insane and awful.

I like many been in chris’ shoes just temporarily I ended up working things out with my parents. You feel a sense of self respect for a while but there’s also this overwhelming feeling of uncertainty

This episode was so much deeper than it showed. So many parents are so toxic by pushing all responsibilities on the oldest. Thinking it's okay because they're just parents. Pushing parents responsibilities to the oldest is not right. Plus thinking they're always right because they provide. No you have kids so you HAVE to provide. Was not their choice. The fact chris did it all these years with NO complaints and have the nerve to be mad because she knew she was wrong.

am I the only one who thought that drew was the older brother at first?

i have a daughter, and i learned mutual respect: she listens to me, and if she feels like she is being not listened to, i will calmly sit and hear her out. alot of the times she gives me good insight from her perspective. when i was a kid i was told: be seen and not heard. but with my daughter i learned: take a moment and listen, she may surprise you and be right.

I wish they still make shows like this, where the dad is really the man of the house and the mom admits to being wrong. Nowadays, in TV, dads are always made into chumps.

This is why having two parents in the house is so important, especially fathers. Stress and anger can cause any parent to make drastic decisions, without another adult in the house to bring back order imagine the end result.

I don't blame Chris, Parents, they are children, not slaves, just cuz you pay bills doesn't mean anything. Get up and clean up your own stuff, work as a team/ Family.

I had to watch the actual episode and the ending made me angry AF: Julius tells Drew and Tonya to watch TV and tells Chris to do the dishes. Nobody learned anything.

You should always challenge your parents authority when they are objectively wrong

“Drugs and alcohol provide a sedative to the trauma and isolation” 😂

Rochelle would hate me and we would fight every day if she were my mom. Chris didn't sign up to be a third parent to HER children! Chris was totally right! It's not fair for him to be cleaning up all the time when he works, goes to school, and looks after his younger siblings. I hate when parents do this. Make the eldest child automatically become another parent. That ain't right. "It's just dishes". If it's just dishes, Drew and Tonya could do them. It's not about dishes. It's the principle of them not having to do shit while Chris does everything!

I would be pissed if I found out my wife kicked out my son for something so trivial.

Julius : why's this table such a mess? Chris rock : somebody fired the maid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You could tell Chris was still pissed about this situation. Out of all the stories of his childhood, this one seems to still tot water for him. And his colorful commentary seems more pointed at his mom then usual.

"Chris, you are a child. Parents don't negotiate with children." This is the problem with black parenting/family culture, period. The number of blown out of proportion arguments I've had with family because they have this backwards mentality where they view you having a difference of opinion (as a human being with your own views, value, and principles) as disrespecting them, challenging them and "talking back to an adult." Reality check for these "don't disrespect your elders", "it's my house, my rules" people: 1. Let go of your ego. It's not about me being a child, in any capacity. This is simply an interaction between two humans. My age or the fact that I'm a younger branch in the family tree should never invalidate or mean that my point of view and feelings should be dismissed. 2. Holding that "I'm your parent/your my child" nonsense over my head is BS. You chose to have a child. The child didn't choose to be born. So stop acting entitled like I'm meant to be eternally indebted to you for a decision that you made that, in reality, was made by you to solely suite your own interest when you made the decision. 3. If you want to use the "this is my house" crap as leverage, then don't be surprised if either, you and your child become distant, or, if when that child grows up and throws that same crap in your face when they're then the ones in the position of leverage. This episode was important.

If I had more than one kid I wouldn't let just one of them clean the dishes when it's more faster to let all three

"You kicked him out because he didnt do the dishes?" The same exact fucking thing my mom said to my dad. Im the oldest out of the 7 children that live in the house, two of them are 16 and 15, they are capable of doing basic chores and cleaning up after themselves. The others are literal children still, from 1-5 but I always have to clean up after all of them, because "you're the oldest you should just listen." Uhhh im a high school senior with multiple college courses and a part time job. I go to school, go to work, do my hw, and HAVE to babysit after all of that. But because the two other kids didnt want to do their dishes, I HAVE to. All I said was "it's not my day to do dishes." And he lost his shit on me, so all I said was "Can you just please leave me alone? Im tired." Then he went on some tirade, so I just locked my door, but that set him off, we got into a shouting match and he got physical and said some really not so cool things. He said that he hated having me as a son, that I was an ungrateful lazy kid, and that as soon as I turned 18 I was out of the house. All that because all I said was "it's not my day to do dishes" I left, but my mom begged me not to, but being at home hurt too much.

I wanted Julius to flip out so hard this episode, but he didn't. He was actually real calm. Spoke his mind and then went to get his son. Respect.

I'm not gonna lie, I said "ahhhhhhhhhh" too when they explained what Julius said.

My father started teaching me to cook when I was 6. I was doing a lot of household chores like cutting the lawn, washing the dishes, and vacuuming by the time I was 8. I was expected to clean my own room AND the study, as I spent a lot of time in the study since it's where the computer and the Nintendo was. There's no reason that Chris's siblings can't help.

This is so relatable not just family wise but also relationship having to spend time with someone that you cannot talk to and when you try to they shut you off gaslight play victim or tell you to talk to them in a different way and when you try a different way, it’s still not enough

drew: so, are you going to kick us out if we say no? Chris: yes Rochelle: no Me: liar!

To think the producers of this show didn't even want Ticina Arnold to play the mother on this show, Chris Rock had to fight to get her and she turned out to be the perfect mom for the show!.

He’s literally being treated like everyone’s maid

The worst part of the mom kicking him is because she own all the house but she doesn't the dad own everything

I love how Rochelle somewhat backs off when Julius (STRICTLY, MIGHT I ADD) just said “what do you mean, you threw him out?” because she knew Julius would lose his shit at her for the first time. She even gulped a bit of saliva before speaking. Bruh, Julius scared Rochelle... FINALLY!

Vanessa need to shut up. Chris is right. Chris should relax and have Drew and Tonya do the dishes.

His brother is a real one for giving him some money.

I like how when she had kicked chris out, she began looking for him to get him to clean the dishes. that woman petty.

This show was my childhood lmao

drew has the most sense... look for his son and tell his wife she was wrong

Chris was just asking for help and Rochelle kicked him out😢

Had this with my home life. I was the only one who paid rent and regularly worked but I was the one who got all the shit and threatened with being kicked out when the bins weren't out the night before.

Drew is so logically reasonable. I love it 😂

So she kicks him out for not doing the dishes, and yet, he brings him back and tells him to do the dishes? WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?!

Tanya was the best but I loved what she said even though it was funny, "Even though I hate Chris I still wish he would come back home. I don't want him to get stabbed, or shot, turned out or hooked on drugs." Now that's a true sister!💕💕💕

The music in the background soothes the moment

Vanessa: 'It's dishes, you're actin like she told you to bring down the mob' Chris (Narrative): 'Actually the mob was slightly less vindictive than my mother' #😂😂😂😂😂

Sometimes I understand how chris feels.

Chris should have disowned his whole family

How do I get away from this? My mother wants me to be independent but immediately pulls my leash back when I even take a step out of her view.

Drew gave him money Tonya asked for his radio what the heck

I really appreciate the fact that Julius wasn't portrayed as an idiot like so many dads on television are these days.

Can't say I blame Chris. He shouldn't be the only one doing chores. Drew and Tonya are definitely old enough to help

Julius should've done the following: told Rochelle what a dumbass she is, that she needs to be the one to find their son, apologize for being so arrogant and bring him home or she would be the one getting kicked out.

At 0:13, Chris's line just nailed it. At 1:31, even though I understood what he meant, I still didn't know why Julius brought it up. At 3:09, Drew was so bright he corrected the way to parent the children in a healthy way.

When Chris stood up to Rochelle, I was so happy for him. 😎

Never peeped drew gave Chris the money before he left. Real brother lol.

Rochelle was never my favorite character but rewatching these old clips makes me hate her character. She purposely made Chris’s life more difficult.

now normally children should do what their parents tell them there should be no that talk but I had to side with Chris on this one why aren't his bother and sister ever made to chores . favoritism among siblings really does exist

Drew and Julius are the most wholesome characters of the show

This episode gets me. Like WTF Chris should not do dishes/chores all the time when there are two other siblings there to help. Did nobody think about taking turn scenario if Chris does it this time then Drew or Tanya does it next time and then the third sibling does it and then start back over at Chris. How hard is that.

Rochelle is wrong. She CHOOSES to clean the bathroom instead of adding it as a chore. She CHOOSES to wash the clothes instead of having one of HER kids doing it. There's a difference between choosing to do something and forcing someone to do it. Chris is constantly forced to step in and be an adult. He is FORCED to wash the dishes alone even though the kids are literally sitting down, doing nothing. Chris is a child he should be enjoying a childhood, not constantly being forced into adulthood. This boy is being racially discriminated against at school, teacher and peers alike. He takes the buses to school by himself, gets good grades, works a part time job, does his homework, does his chores, and goes to sleep. So much for one person. Rochelle needs to learn that a kid can only handle so much.

Love it when drew starts speaking scientific facts to his mother

It's dishes! You're acting like she told you to bring down the mob!..."actually the mob was slightly less vindictive than my mom" Why do they keep describing my mom so accurately...

Yeah that’s bs, he shouldn’t have to be the only kid to clean up all the time, I could even see if she told them to clear the table and Chris to do the dishes

The way that dragged that metaphor out..

THIS!!! Parents need to learn not to dump all the responsibilities on the first born child/girl/whatever ever. It is not a child’s responsibility to clean/take care of the children YOU and YOUR PARTNER decided to bring into this world. Have some common sense, a child can’t take care of a child. It’s okay to ask a child to clean after themselves and maybe their sibs every ONCE IN A WHILE, but when it gets to a point where a child feels stressed about always being the only one doing it, YOU as the parent have taken it too far. And honestly this point can’t be stressed about enough.

This is just proof to kids that parents don't _really_ know what they're doing.They try but they screw up most of the time. I love how they had to break down the expression "Cutting his arm off for putting his finger in the fan". Not _just_ because she didn't understand the metaphor, but because she didn't understand how kicking Chris out was too heavy of a punishment for not doing the dishes until they explained it.

I love when Chris says if you want to do the dishes so much you clean it and I’m very respond with say you’re so you’re really really leaving- 😂

Rochelle was the worst in the show. She was so entitled. She always dog piled on Chris always. Never even dared to ask anything of her other children as much as Chris. It was honestly like she hated him, for no given reason at all.

Chris Rock's narration was always halirious😂😂 "Somebody fired the maid"

Being the eldest, the scene is so relatable!

0:36 Yo Drew is a real one, literally giving his brother money out of his pocket to help him out.

For me its not the fact that Rochelle uses Chris, its the AUDACITY of drew and tanya to call Chris “stupid” for leaving when they know DAMN WELL they themselves are the reason for Chris getting pissed and don’t even try to offer to help with the dishes just so their big brother can come back. ESPECIALLY when Rochelle admits this: “Im not gonna clean it up, they’re not gonna clean it up, when I find Chris, HE’S gonna clean it up.” Woman, you are just ASKING for him to tell you “no” again when he comes back. Bunch of lazy selfish siblings with a mother who CLEARLY has favorites.

I hated how his siblings didn't at least help to clean up because Chris did everything (I know it's only a show) 😂😂😂

Cutting the boy's arm off and sticking his finger in the fan is the funniest quote.

I don’t like cleaning up that much but when I see something that needs to be done I’ll do it

Funny how Tanya still wants something from Chris and my boy Drew gave something to Chris and asked for nothin after gettin booted out the house (I know she's the youngest) 0:31

@0:21 I don't think people caught what Tanya said here. Even though she knew darn well that Chris was leaving because of doing THEIR chores, she still implies that Chris is being stupid and should be doing their chores. Why didn't she offer to start doing her own chores from now on? She even asked for his radio, as if he was going to be gone forever. It's perplexing at how Rochelle instilled herself into Tanya.

I've seen this happen and it's sad. I had a friend growing up his mom piled up a lot of responsibility on him and I saw that his mom always seemed to be harder on him than his other siblings so much so that even their other family members started to tell the mom about her behavior. I also noticed that she seemed to have some kind of unspoken resentment towards him and I later found out that the he and his siblings had different fathers and then it started to make sense. I think his mom probably was hurt more by his father than the others and took it out on him. I know after high school we lost touch, but after watching this, I remember the embarrassing moments he had to endure. Wherever you are my friend, I hope you're in a better place in life.

The problem with parents they think their right all the time which is no true they can be just as wrong as their kids they have more experience dince their older but their only human their not gonns be right more than 75% of time and some parents abuse their authority. The world is changing so they have to understand that somethings arent gonna work the same.

I’m confused as to why she would think the other children don’t have to clean up behind themselves

The mom was wrong .drew and Tonya are old enough to do chores.

Chris was definitely in the right here - he’s the only person ever doing the dishes and he really shouldn’t have to be. He has two sibling that could easily help him and get the whole ordeal done faster - there is zero reason for him to be doing it by himself

Being the oldest child sucks. I took care of my lil brothers, kept the house clean, worked when I was of age and my parents treated me like shit, would swear I was lazy. I'd get off at 10pm on a school night and have to come home and clean the kitchen eventhough my lil brothers were already there. Then if I said something, I'd get the shit kicked out of me. Me and my parents bumped heads often in high school, nothing I did was ever good enough and when they decided to put me out. I ran for my sanity and never looked back. I didn't talk to either of them for almost 2 years.

Chris isn’t complaining about doing his dishes. He’s complaining because his siblings are perfectly capable of doing their dishes too. I wash my dishes, and I’d gladly do my parents’ dishes, but id have my younger brother do his, despite him giving me a hard time
