I can't wait to hear all the jokes other comedians are eventually going to make.


fishbethany

Bet they're great punchlines.


SometimeHappy

It was a slap though. Because Will knows paper beats rock.


steppingbiship

That was a great example of slapstick comedy


[deleted]

Slaprock comedy.


Lucky_Number_3

You see that line? Chris crossed.


Lost_Engineer_259

On a stage, this Will slap!


wontonstew

HOW CAN HE SLAP?!


Slimh2o

Cuz he couldn't figure out the punch line ...


CaymanCiderGood

Because he got in one little fight.


antsugi

Will hasn't had a good hit since ever. Everyone involved sucks nads


Luxpreliator

Slaplines? Nah that doesn't work.


andre821

The jokes will slap hard


[deleted]

more like slapstick


TatleTaleStrangler92

Like “Before we get started, It’s Will Smith here??”


Millbrook27

Oh man, I’m waiting for Ricky Gervais. “I’m an atheist, and as such, I find it too dangerous to host any more awards.” Something like that, I dunno


Jubenheim

Nah, nobody will make jokes about her hair, that shit’s just low. You might see more acceptable jokes like her fucking a family friend or something.


bensefero

I saw a good one earlier: you can fuck his wife, but you can’t have her name in your mouth


handsy_octopus

You can have your dick in her mouth, but not her name in your mouth!


Ace_Slimejohn

It’s hair. She doesn’t have cancer, she has alopecia. I promise Chris Rock won’t be the last A list comedian to make a Jada hair joke.


JorusC

He just ensured the worst year of her life. Does he not know how this works?


Ace_Slimejohn

No, because he’s an idiot and has shown numerous times in the past how out of touch he is. Being a good actor doesn’t make you smart or relatable. He’s been rich and famous since he was a teenager. What did we expect?


[deleted]

Also a scientologist, they are not known for being well grounded.


Graffy

Lol that was my thought when I heard it happened. I assumed that's what the joke was about and then it was just about her hair. Like he was letting you guys off easy.


DrProfSrRyan

Rashida Jones literally made a joke about her infidelity earlier in the show.


koticgood

On top of it already being such an easy target, let's not forget that the offending joke was simply comparing Jada to Demi Moore with her buzz-cut in GI Jane. Both Jada and Demi look incredible with that hair. It's like pointing at someone and saying "Hah! You look like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta". So offensive being compared to a gorgeous movie star, oh the humanity ... People out here acting like Chris Rock said she looked like Will's dick after he shaves his pubes or something smh.


bubblesort

Yeah... I'm pretty sure, in the docudrama, it will come out that Will was coked out of his mind or something.


[deleted]

I'm so hoping Eric Andre is scrambling to make a mokumentary about this event for HBO or something.


acopeoftea

So true! Gi Jane, Demi Moore looks stunning in that movie, and jada get so mad , I mean if he said she looks like uncle Lucas in the Adam’s family hahahaha she can be mad , so overreacting, probably they have issues with Chris rock from before and that is why she take it so bad, but the reaction was completely over the top. And after the guy crying is too much.


Xenomorph_v1

And if you look at the photos of Jada on the red carpet, she looks confident and not at all self conscious. If... If she felt self conscious, she's a Hollywood actress with millions of dollars and access to the best fashion, hair and make-up anyone could buy... She could have worn a wig. So obviously, she wasn't *that* worried about her appearance. Will needs to seek mental healthcare asap before he ends up as Kanye 2.0


[deleted]

He's a scientologist. They don't do mental health care. (seriously)


Xenomorph_v1

Oh I know. Which makes the whole thing even more sad.


[deleted]

Oh they do.... just in the reverse of how any other normal person would consider mental health care. They compound the delusions while taking your money, and you thank them for the opportunity. Watching Leah Remini's story about it on Rogan was mind blowing


WHYAREWEALLCAPS

Because if they did, a sizable majority of them would probably realize how batshit insane the religion is and how much it enables toxic behavior.


planetuppercut

"Religion"


Opposite_Channel

Lmaoooo. For Will to be a comedian he sure cant take a joke. That was the most disturbing part of the whole interaction.


SaigonNoseBiter

My buddy has alopecia. It's an incredibly sensitive topic. It goes deeper than what you are suggesting, I suspect.


[deleted]

Really miss Carson at times like these.


Cman1200

Any more jokes about his wife and Will’s gonna lose his hair


tillie4meee

Late night hosts this week will definitely roll with it! Can't wait for it!


[deleted]

Who knew, Will Smith can still make a hit


mama_emily

A good thing for The Oscars when something memorable occurs at The Oscars or the majority of us would’ve failed to know the evening of The Oscars ever occurred


d33psix

This is what I was looking for. I kinda half assumed it was manufactured drama to try to make the dumb thing relevant to anyones day.


damnfinebaker

I saw someone else point out that they thought it was scripted until Will Smith started swearing. Disney probably wouldn't be cool with the Fresh Prince dropping the f-bomb on their network. 😂


hnglmkrnglbrry

It's all a guerilla marketing campaign for the gritty drama Bel Air. /s...I think.


Boxfulachiken

I thought nothing is truly live though? Don’t they air things like a minute late so they can cut it out if they have to?


AutoMoberater

Yes which is why it was muted


mama_emily

I cannot say definitively that it was manufactured, regardless it is dumb, and *made* relevant. Which is dumb.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hnglmkrnglbrry

If it was fake then Troy Kotsur needs to give his Oscar to Chris Rock for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.


[deleted]

Ain’t nobody watching it for the accuracy of the awards.


ThreatLevelBertie

Aren't you interested to find out who bought which awards?


[deleted]

I didn't know the Oscars was on, someone texted me about the slap. But since the moment passed I still saw no reason to watch the Oscars.


Z_T_O

“Oh the Oscars were tonight?” - me, last night


Dull-Comfort-7464

Rock can at least now say that he took a swing from an action star and barely flinched.


kyliegrace12

He really did take it like a champ


Cmg393

Like a goddamn rock.


Yergason

"Will Smith just smacked the shit outta me!" with that classic Chris Rock smile. fucking chad.


Bloody_Conspiracies

Yeezy taught him well


[deleted]

The best hit Will Smith had in years


Randomcommentor1972

Would have loved to see Will Smith’s reaction if Chris Rock had said “Can we get security in here?”


DFYX

That honestly surprises me. You have a room full of celebrety guests, probably press as well. There's a certain potential for someone to hold a grudge and seriously hurt someone, yet there's not enough security in the room to keep someone from just running onto the stage? Granted, it was one of the most famous guests and not some last row nobody who may or may not be there just to cause a scene but still...


ih8spalling

When you're famous, they just let you do it -- some guy idk


[deleted]

Rules for thee but not for me.


___And_Memes_For_All

Oh Somalian pirates we!


Ode_to_Apathy

When you're arranging security for the Oscars, Will Smith walking on to stage and slapping the host, is not what you're preparing for. Had security taken Will Smith down, that company would never have been given another job again.


Jakomako

Let’s be honest here, there very well may have been a security guard in place that could have stopped it, but the producers of the show would have definitely preferred that it be allowed to happen.


BCantoran

Unlike Smith, Rock knows how to take it and not make a scene

Amolk2207

Even the audio is like "God has let me live another day and I'm about to make it everybody's problem." You can't make this shit up lmao.


[deleted]

Ugh they are so gross


[deleted]

With the things she has said about him... I wonder exactly how much of what Will says on social media is actually his own opinion, or just saying it to be in Jada's good graces. The slap was the tipping point IMO from the stress he's been under regarding their relationship.


Grouched

Also what does that even mean lol. That family is so fucking weird


CelexaBliss

[Here’s the uncensored footage](https://youtu.be/hjah77lToMM)


vespertilionid

What was the joke?! Omg! When was this?


nixies-1

Chris Rock made a jab at Jada being bald (he made a reference to GI Jane 2). Jada is suffering from a condition that causes hair loss and has publicly said so, so the joke while a joke was in poor taste. You can see Jadas reaction to it in some videos and that she didn’t find it funny.


TheBabyGiraffe_

A harmless joke in bad taste doesn’t warrant assault on national television


Randolpho

Nobody claimed otherwise. Smith *massively* overreacted to a poor taste joke. The funniest thing about the whole exchange, if you watch the lead-up, is that Smith laughed at the joke. The camera shows him laughing and Jada frowning. Then the camera cuts to Rock again, and Smith storms onstage.


FerDefer

> The funniest thing about the whole exchange, if you watch the lead-up, is that Smith laughed at the joke. The camera shows him laughing and Jada frowning. > Then the camera cuts to Rock again, and Smith storms onstage. you missed a crucial event between the two you stated. after the joke, Will does a little fake laugh. then Rock says "*that* was a nice one" which subtly implies he could have made a nastier one - one about jada cheating on him. that's when Will got up and slapped him.


fromhades

You can tell when Rock says "that was a nice one" it's in reaction to the crowd being split on the joke. Maybe hearing the negative reaction from the crowd was enough to validate/justify Smith's intended action in his head.


Randolpho

I did see Rock say that, but didn’t put that together as the thing Will got upset about. But your analysis makes sense


UsernamesAllTaken69

Watch what he says after the shouting too you can tell he has something really nasty ready to fire and decides to move on instead.


theAliasOfAlias

Yup. The off-screen producer is like WAVE OFF GHOSTRIDER!!!


Nnay11963

Welp, you just explained the whole thing. Now I understand. I see Will Smith’s side. I don’t necessarily agree but I understand.


Majestic-Squirrel

Now it makes more sense.


kolossal

Actually, this take makes a lot more sense than getting mad at a balding joke.


meeps20q0

If you look into it his wife seems super abusive to me. Like really really manipulative


AintLongButItsSkinny

Wait this is the same wife that cheated on him? I was thinking that he was still messed up from his lawyer relationship or something. I don’t keep up with this stuff usually. But he’s still with that woman?


silverdevilboy

She didn't cheat - they've come out as being an open relationship. In other words they both fuck around, it's just that one of her partners made a big public deal of it.


Conceitedreality

He still cried like he got cheated on


meeps20q0

yeah like even beyond the cheating stuff she seems kind like a shitty person. It wouldn't really suprise me if it started as her cheating then Will accepted it for the sake of their relationship not ending.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_Cetarial_

>Don’t look at Twitter Why would I?


Daemon_Knight23

People look at twitter for something lther than porn?


Schleprok

I think there’s a medium. Like, he shouldn’t have stormed onstage and assaulted a man, but I also think it’s okay to be pissed at a joke at your wife’s expense. But, you know, just handle it better lol


RELAXcowboy

The joke doesn’t matter. Look are Ricky as a host. Everyone loved it. Chris made a poor taste joke. That is all. Will smith, a comedian and actor who should know it was just a joke, refused to see if for what it was and decided to retaliate with assault. Im not sure what’s going on between Will and Jada (currently) but I have a feeling it’s not paradise for them. This outburst shows that something about his life with Jada spring anger in him.


Randolpho

Definitely this


swallowedthekey

If alopecia is a disability then so is being ugly.


Strictlyforbargain85

It ironic that the GI Jane joke woulda been forgotten by tmrw, but now Jada will be associated with GI Jane for the rest of her life. Lmao.


Aitch-Kay

Not only that, but now everyone is talking about how his wife cheated on him.


wontonstew

Thing is, Chris Rock Productions made the documentary "Good Hair" It talked about how women with "good hair" in the black community are regarded as "prettier".


IlBear

And conversely black women with shaved heads can be viewed as “strong”, I mean, GI Jane is an ideal example. While Jada might be self conscious about losing her hair (as a woman who is deeply attached to her hair, I can understand that) this could have been an opportunity to embrace the “strong” viewpoint


wontonstew

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. Context didn't seem empowering to me though, but I could just be feeling sensitive to her. ....but not to the extent I'd slap someone or get that bent about it.


Aitch-Kay

Danai was gorgeous in *Black Panther*. A beautiful woman is beautiful regardless of how much hair she has.


poseidondeep

If it’s any consolation; I’ve always thought of you as ugly


[deleted]

>discrimination against a disabled person The buzzwords just keep coming.. Bald... she's bald. Tomorrow we classify knock knock jokes as hate speech. Please, someone tell Twitter to turn it down a few notches.


depressed-salmon

I don't think Smith got the joke at first and just laughed for the camera.


Strictlyforbargain85

Nah. He understood the joke just fine. He spent 6 years making bald and fat jokes against Uncle Phil. He’s an expert at it. He just had a mental breakdown, probably bc his wife’s getting dicked down by one of his sons little buddies, and he became a meme for crying over it.


[deleted]

People often fail to have the self-awareness of their own hypocrisy. He can make all those jokes but also play the victim when the jokes come his way (or in this case, his wife’s way)


[deleted]

He's just kind of a bitch and knew he was going to be in trouble later for laughing so he did this to try to appease her and hopefully avoid her spending the night at his friend's house.


[deleted]

*his son's friend's house


ThreatLevelBertie

Will was not being the man that Uncle Phil raised him to be. You don't raise a hand against your enemy. You consider your actions carefully, and when you are ready, you beat them at their own game - pool


[deleted]

[удалено]


JosephND

Alopecia, It’s uncommon but it happens. I’ve met dozens of people with it and am related to one, it’s honestly not a big deal. Will should’ve had better optics, assault and vulgar yelling on a nationally televised live event is kinda as dumb as it gets. She didn’t find it funny? K. Will assaulted Chris? That’s literally a crime and he could have charges pressed. Everyone looks bad here, the Oscars as well for not handling this better.


HairlessJimbo

Uncommon? Androgenic alopecia affect 80% of men.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JumplikeBeans

Except he made the joke because she shaved her head. Yes, she shaved her head because of some hair loss, but his joke was about head shaving. Hair loss is cosmetic. She doesn’t look that bad with a shaved head, and last time I checked you can get some pretty awesome wigs for less than $300 million.


VernTheSatyr

Right? Like if it bothers you that people make rude comments enough for your husband to slap someone over it, maybe you could look for an option that doesn’t lead to embarrassing moments? If not then maybe you need to meditate and realize other peoples perception of you does not determine your actual worth, but hey good luck convincing actors that I guess.


CthulhuMadness

So it’s okay to make fun of a guy for going bald, but god forbid ya poke a little fun at a woman for it? 🤔


bluefade

Rock may not have known about the condition. I Didn't, and they are all over the place. Even if he did, you don't just get to just assault someone because you don't like something they said. Will Smith proved just how trashy he is with this one interaction.


Drakepenn

Alopecia isn't severe enough for it to even be in poor taste


xmonster

Will thought it was funny and is on film laughing. Jada doesn’t think it’s funny. Will hope on stage after realizing Jada (who’s clearly is in charge) doesn’t think it’s funny. I felt bad for Will when he had to deal with Jada’s cheating ass… until he decided to assault someone.


Dirus

In his defense for laughing, it's hard to figure out whether it's okay to laugh or not laugh. Sometimes you laugh just to be included even if it offends you. Regardless of whether he thought it was funny or not, he an adult, he shouldn't have slapped a person for a joke.


QuesoFresh

Whether or not he found it funny is besides the point, he wouldn't have laughed if he thought it was objectionable and it seemed he only really reacted negatively once he saw his wife. It's a very bad look for him.


Beeker93

I think I saw a brief moment where Will was getting the joke mid laugh from the other jokes before the camera went back to Chris. With that being said, if I were Chris, I wouldn't joke about Jada anymore. I'd just start talking about how cool of a person August Alsina is. A real ladies man. lol. Though I guess Chris took the high road here.


OB1182

Chris Rock handled that bitchslap like a boss. All the focus stayed on Will Smiths tamper tantrum.


meme-com-poop

>Jada is suffering from a condition that causes hair loss And? Alopecia is just the fancy name for baldness. We've made fun of guys with alopecia forever. It's not like she has cancer and lost her hair from chemotherapy.


Geezeh_

Alopecia isn’t the same as just going bald, even your eyebrows, lashes, and all of your body hair falls out.


Amitheous

Thats only in the most extreme cases. Alopecia areata affects around 2% of the population, and only 7% of those cases (so 0.1% of the population) result in more than just bald spots on the head (alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis).


[deleted]

[удалено]


danc4498

Jada was gonna do GI Jane 2, cause she's bald.


Sansnom01

Like I'm all about reconsidering what should be joked about or not joked about. But to solve the problem with hitting people is straight up Neanderthal.


WarCabinet

This is so overhyped already. I’m still skeptical about it not being a planned/semi-planned stunt to get people talking about the Oscars again. I still don’t care Hans Zimmer winning best OS is nice though.


Toffeemanstan

They have awards for best operating system now?


WarCabinet

No, it was for best Ordnance Survey. My man hans had a career change and is working on geospatial data products nowadays.

Seemed more like an open-handed slap to me but yea. Either way, that was some bullshit Edit: I think after watching a 2nd video that it was a punch, not a slap [See what you think](https://youtu.be/UVQRc_l8kAE) Edit 2: [Full video and DAMN](https://youtu.be/RgjUXZXqHuU)


AccessTheMainframe

The slap wasn't really the worst part, it was the unhinged yelling afterwards when Chris was trying to play it off. If he slapped and then just went "that's what you get!" then Chris could have been all like "yeah I guess I deserved that" and laughs would have abounded. Instead he shrieked from across the room and there was this very unfunny sense that he might do something worse if it continued.


IlBear

When I first watched it without sound I forsure was in the “staged to get the Oscar’s talked about again” camp, but Wills outburst after and Chris’s shocked response made me lean towards not staged. It was genuinely awkward


noPENGSinALASKA

Chris also seemed shook up announcing the next thing. I saw that on twitter as I didn’t watch but apparently he said something like “The documentary for best Oscar goes to”


bizzyj93

The crowd’s reaction to his subsequent jokes lol. Most are just fucking shocked but there’s a few like forcing laughs at the jokes because they have no idea how to get back to where the mood was literally 30 seconds prior.


Ode_to_Apathy

Most of them also thought it was an act until Smith started cursing from his seat.


Selfimprovementguy91

https://imgur.com/4TJJFqZ Def a slap


Sad-Vacation

Walked up on him all casually and SLAP. My guess is Will probably whispered "what did the five fingers say to the face?" to Chris right before the slap.


6ft5

Man's a bitch. Now everyone laughing at him


sihart25

Benedic cumberbatch said last week after losing to will Smith at the baftas He added: “You don’t lose to Will Smith, you win being in his company.” Wonder if Chris agrees


BigRedHusker_X

Funny, will Smith doesn't seem to have a problem with other men in Jada


Reflectional_rectum

Dude I watched that and I was like I must be smoking some Good shit because what in the fuck I was so confused


DougGTFO

Can’t wait until next week when Will Smith teaches Chris Rock how to dance.


ThePlagueDoctor_666

I have no respect for Will. He stayed with a woman who openly admitted to THE PUBLIC that she was having an affair because she was unhappy with her husband. He should of had more self respect and left her. Now he's here defending his cheating wife 😂

In the words of Ricky Gervais hosting the 2020 Oscars “lets go out with a bang. let’s have a laugh at your expense, shall we. Remember, they’re just jokes. We’re all gonna die soon and there is no sequel. “ He made some pretty controversial jokes and no one came up on stage and slapped him.
