Always loved Chris. So sorry about the ASSAULT from Will. Keep rockin Chris!
💯🙏🙏
I don't want to live in a society where comedians aren't allowed to make light of sad/serious situations with humor. Keep on ROCKing Chris ✌🏿
Neither do I! ✊🏿
It’s mr rock bish
Exactly wtf man!
He's a comedians comedian.....but tell that to Mr Smith or any other thin skin mofo under 30 out there.
“Does this building duck? Who’s the corporate sponsor, target?” 😭😭😂
That’s priceless
"They should rename it Never Going In There Tower." I'm dying right now! 😭
"If you hear me talking about a disease, I got it!" Chris Rock is the best.
😂😂😂😂😂
that was great punch line
Isn't that a Patrice bit?
Made me think of Osmosis Jones, which is funny since Chris Rock is in that Movie lmao
The people who were offended by this are the type of people who you don't need in your life
*annoyed
👏👍☺
real talk alert!
You've got 500 likes👍
Dan Pham, you are so right!!!
"OMG I need a gun"!!! what a surprise...There are not many comedians that come close to this guy. He's just wise,smart and funny. UNIQUE
jonathan Rachid saw him do part of this bit the week before SNL at The Comedy Cellar; we were all doing that "should I be laughing at this?" laugh. He went on to take about assault weapons, saying Ray Rice is an assault weapon and an AR is a "kill a lotta mothaf*ckas within a 1.5 mile radius machine."
He's hardly unique but him and the other smart comics are few and far between.
Louis ck is better though
I used to not care too much for Chris Rock because of his delivery, but when you take that away and just listen to what the man says, he’s really quite brilliant
Dave Chappelle and myself
I think this monologue is one of the best ever for SNL.
Only in America. As usual, freakin amazing comedic talent. Taking it to the limit and peeking over the fence. Love Chris.
Perfect. So many Americans are stuck in that mentality and I'm glad he brought it up because they are so sensitive about everything and need a taste of their own medicine. Enjoyed his monologue!
Yeah people are hypocrites
Amen.
Jason Benson Not me
yes thoroughly enjoyed it!
Its because there's all these sensitive soccer moms complaining about every little thing and people to ban and censeor everything hoping it will protect there kids somehow. Its soooo stupid. Soon we wont even be allowed to cuss anymore.
We love you Chris!
You rocked the 2022 Oscars!!! Your composure during the slap scene was epic! King of comics! Best of the best!

@@frankiecommisso48 your wife chose a loser. 😂
@@frankiecommisso48 So queen wannabe jada better not listen to some of these comedians: George Carlin, Paul Mooney, Dave Chappell, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, DL Hughley, Earthquake, Mike Epps, Bill Burr, Tracy Morgan, Katt Williams, Bernie Mack, Redd Foxx, Dick Gregory, Gilbert Gottfried, Ricky Gervais, George Lopez, Darnell Rawlings Hannibal Buress, Trevor Noah, Michael Che, Joe Rogan, Don Rickles, Jon Stewart, Andrew Dice Clay, Lenny Bruce just to name a few controversial comedians who crossed the line or been very close to the line in some peoples views. Then your have non controversial comedians like Bill Cosby who wouldn’t use a cuss word was sexually assaulting women for decades behind everyone’s back. Now some of these living comedians are saying way worse now about Will and Jada. At 50 you’d think she’d have thicker skin. Well queen entitled jada better not listen to any comedians now or she will really get her feelings hurt.
@@frankiecommisso48 Chris didn’t even say anything bad comparing her to Demi Moore in GI Jane. Demi Moore happens to be a beautiful woman and their haircuts were the same. Plus GI Jane was a bad ass character. Will did laugh at the joke until he seen jada roll her eyes. I guarantee you if The Rock or Jason Mamoa or Tony Rock was on that stage Will wouldn’t have done S-t. He knew he could get away with it. He’s lucky Chris did not have him arrested or sue him. According to what Producer Will Packer said in an interview Chris really saved Will from being arrested and from being made to leave. They actually asked Chris. So Chris saved him from further embarrassment. So many comedians say terrible things about Trump or the Kardashians or Kanye just to name a few. They let it roll off their back and by now it’s obvious the Kardashians have a sense of humor. Telling a joke is not against the law, slapping someone is. Comedy is an art just like acting or singing or dancing. So should everyone get mad if an actor plays a serial killer or singers cuss and talk about gang murder and drugs in there lyrics? Of course not so comedy shouldn’t be held to a different standard. Maybe queen jada should stop humiliating Will.
You run 26 miles and then you here someone at the finish line scream "RUNN!"
Thats hilarious
Priceless 😹😹😹😹
The build up and the punchline were amazing
He predicted it. Dodge used MLK Jr. Speech to sell a damn truck, during the Superbowl.
And also the 9/11 sale.
Nothing is beneath american businessmen
Aww hell no?!! For REAL??? 🙄😲
Capitalism brother
Chris Rock's monologue was hilarious. Funniest one I've seen in awhile.
LMFAO I was dying lol!
Great Great monologue
Came here to support Chris Rock, this one of my favorite videos online to watch of him, after watch just happened at the 2022 Oscars. No hate to Will Smith but Chris didn’t deserve that.
Maybe but once a man sees his wife seems offended,he will react
chris rock is still and always will be the best!!!
LMAO! Your comment was funnier than anything Chris Rock has ever said. If you think he's the best, you have low standards.
everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I happen to like many comedians. he just happens to be my favorite
He is one of the BEST!
Yep...😹

I’m here to support Chris and to appreciate his comedy.

are you kidding me? this was great.
everyone is so sensitive nowadays..
seriously
I think it was great that he realized the sensitive nature of the topic and even made a joke about that. So he really made an effort to get people to see his point of view. Instead of being a shock-jock with a "deal with it" kind of attitude.
I can't believe people were offended by this either. It's funny and he wasn't being disrespectful at all. Tragedy and comedy have always throughout history gone hand in hand together. It's his job to find humor where tragedy lives so we don't live a life full of sorrow and depression, to bring people out of that pit.
JudgmentDay78
well said!
***** WORD
I love Chris Rock because his comedy is clean, and instead of making fun of things he makes light of a situation, he made light of the white oscars, and he made light of 9/11, he made light of the boston marathon. He makes political issues funny. Sometimes when something bad happens all you need is a bit of laughter to make it a bit better, and Chris Rock understands that.
What a crock of shit. The first thing I thought after a few minutes of this was "What's your fucking point?" America shouldn't Stand Up to terrorism? Ole' Chris is tucking his cowardly tail between his legs and saying "Hey. You terrorist win! I ain't ever going in there"?
Making A Fucking JOKE out of a Fucking MASSACRE????
"No sacred things" Yeah. Like the moral values being destroyed by Democrats and the left. The "moral education" we used to get from our teachers is now illegal. Replaced by all the leftist communist bullshit.
We see the loss of our values Every Fucking Day with these Audio Terrorists and their "boomer cars" who think it's their "right" to assault us with their goddamned NOISE. That it's okay to destroy our quality of life and traditional peace and quiet in whole neighborhoods. That it's cool to be a social predator and a thug.
The only thing he seems to get right is the "Jesus' birthday".
And this is the guy who made the "How Not to Get Arrested" video. This dumb-shit is actually an Obummer supporter, an anti-gun supporter, and an everything "black" supporter. Just like his "equal opportunity for black actors" at the Oscars" bullshit. No. Blacks can't do this on their own merits. Like our colleges which have been dumbed down for dumb black people. We have to to make special accommodations for them that nobody else gets. Just like the goddamned illegals put at the front of the line ahead of Mexicans spending years coming here the LEGAL way.
Ehh... But snl wrote these jokes you know
+GreatFun11 how do you know
jedden12 Snl write every monologue and skit for the guests. They write their jokes based on the host personality.
Taylor Swift wrote her own monologue ; lorne and the writers approved it , and history was made.
Damn he was fucking good.
***** really apologize? everybody has the right to speak there mind, if you get offended that easy over something a comedian said i think i speak for the majority of people by saying you need to com down.
***** I couldn't disagree more. Also it's called COMEDY... sometimes in this thing called comedy... people exaggerate for the sake of humor. If you don't like it fine... but demanding apologies for art is absurd. If you don't like what someone is saying then stop listening to them. Everything goes in comedy.
***** I give it 8-10 years tops, before it gets bombed.
***** Your opinion is stupid. Too many people think that certain things come down to opinion and nobody is right... that is often WRONG. I am criticizing what you said because what you are saying is absurd. Nonetheless of course you can say it and should be allowed to.
***** He doesn't have control on your right to free speech.
When Chris said "do this building DUCK?!" I lost my shit. Hilarious line and delivery.
TheDrZoidberg I agree. Perfect.
Chris Rock is just straight up funny as fuck. Love ya man.
he found some real tough spots in the crowd but was able to dig through for the gold, sweet set
He killed it. Totally. It's curious to see how much he can shine with clean comedy.
as clean as you can be when the material focuses on two terrorists attacks. not even mad about it. shit was funny
Emil Osorio Llanos just watch everybody hates Chris. He wrote it and everything
You obviously haven't seen him live, in a club.
I love Chris Rock in the same way I loved Richard Pryer or George Carlin. Very few people have that perfect combination of intelligence, command of current issues; the sharp wit, satire and with an accepted profanity laced delivery that always works due to, I believe, his affinity for all races and people. I expect the biting profanity and PC incorrectness because it's coming from this nice guy who addresses any issue from terrorism to personal hygiene to relationships, always with incredible honesty and conviction in ways most people do not and I laugh even when my stomach hurts!
Somehow I knew you would have Amy Schumer in your playlists. Sistah!
"PC incorrectness"
soooo.... Political Correctness Incorrectness?
This monologue was just solid! Some comedians come and go, but Chris will always be relevant.
I watched this monologue when it first came out because he actually got panned for this monologue back in 2014. I think they thought it was too edgy it was touching on some sensitive subjects but I thought it was fantastic and I'm glad I came back to watch it again 7 years later...
“26 miles is a long drive” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was the best SNL monologue I have seen in a very long time.
I keep coming back to this monologue. Hilarious every time.
Wow! Dude's great! So many risky themes... yet he went and passed with flying colors, amazing! Congrats Chris Rock! :D
“What kind of arrogant Floyd Mayweather crap is this?” 😂 Still makes laugh when I hear it.
This was like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and a little bit of Dennis Miller... Chris Rock can ride the edge of a razor and not fall off. BRILLIANT!
Wow, Prince performed that night? Gives me chills, this really wasn't that long ago. RIP Prince
Overrated. The Weeknd is better
@abdi All hail the king of douchy comments
+Aran Bal Prince never made "Can't Feel My Face"
The Weeknd can't even spell his name right.
diebydeath 💜
This is seriously the best comedy material I have heard in a long time. Chris Rock is fearless like Carlin. If only Rock had a better agent, people would remember him as one of the best comedians of the era rather than as the guy who co-starred in Sandler movies.
Chris Rock is a rank amateur compared to Carlin. Not even close.
Bubba Bear - I said fearless. I did not compare Rock to Carlin. Also Carlin in his later days became more of a ranter and less of a comedian. The material was great and he threw light on the hypocrisies of our age but his standups became less comedy-oriented. I am not saying that Chris Rock is better but he combines both sarcasm and comedy and he is not a rank amateur. He is regarded by his peers as one of the top-10 standup acts of all time.
He's better than carlin.
Seems like he has a great agent, already. This opening on SNL is proof of that. The reason he isn't regarded more highly by our nation is simply because he's not old enough, yet.
He just needs to keep doing what he's doing. Time will handle how he is viewed. He's a top 10 comedian, for sure!
Also...I've never seen him in a single Sandler movie. I have, however, seen "The Chris Rock Show." ;)
Saurav Kumar ppl DO KNOW he’s one of the best ever. And he’s a bad actor. Hence no acting success.
Chris Rock the best stand up comedian of this era
+HyperSole George Carlin? Louis CK? He's really fucking good, but they are way better, man.
he is! Him and Bill Burr
Theres more than 1 good comedian, but yeah Chris Rock is definitely up there
I wouldn't say way better.those guys are legendary as well though
HyperSole ... NOT NOT NOT .. For SO Many reasons!!! WRONG!!! He Also was a HORRIBLE Oscar Host!!
My favorite monologue.... ever!🤣
"Does THIS building duck?" Great seeing Chris Rock on SNL.
Had to pay hommage to the best comedian of all times. Stay strong Chris you are an icon and a real man! We love you.
he good but u know Chappell is theGoat
Everytime I hear Chris Rock's voice, I think of Marty from Madagascar
All I see is an talking animated zebra.
lol
Musical Soul nah that’s Donkey from Shrek
@@sephirothswh0re598 Eddie Murphy is Donkey from Shrek!
These lobsters are so good that you'd be jumping out them windows.
Oh my lord. that was sadly a good joke, but sadly. A very very very sadly but clever but very sadly joke.
Stayna Alexandre see how that joke made you feel. That is controversy right there.
+sulezraz I do find it sad that the joke was based on those you jumped out of the building but when you get mixed emotions like sad and happy at the same time it causes you to not wonder what the joke is about. I apologize if you disliked my reaction towards it. it was a selfish act of mine
How? It doesn't make any sense.
I love Chris Rock and his perspective. I can't believe how many people lack a sense of humor. I lived through 9/11, my dad was a survivor from the 2nd tower, I served overseas for Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc. but you don't see me all bent out of shape. Chris Rock, you continue to be a relevant comedian, I APPLAUD YOU!
JR B 🖤
Glad your pops survived and thank you for your service
"operation iraqi freedom" 👈👈 now _THAT'S_ funny 😂😂😂
He wasn't joking about 9/11. He was given a example.
This monologue is solid as a ROCK!🤩🇿🇦
Chris Rock is a comedic genious!! Very underrated might I add!!
"This is America: we commercialize everything!"
No truer words spoken..
Chris Rock still cracks me up, after all these years.
In my opinion, Chris Rock was spot on about the nature of contemporary Christmas celebrations in the West. The materialism, the pursuit of things, the pressure to buy gifts for family and friends and others, is something I don't share...anymore. I'm free of the madness that this holiday has become. And I truly understand the occasion is a Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This year we're going to have a merry 'ole time, as usual, and don't need gifts in pursuit of our revelry. The poet James Russell Lowell wrote that it's "Not what we give, but what we share, for the gift without the giver is bare." Our very presence, our precious time and love, means more. Through the year I'll give presents and time to loved ones and others. Why...just because. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
good original material!
people are way too sensitive. you know what you're getting with rock, it's not barney. the first amendment was not designed to protect safe speech, but controversial speech. some americans you guys are. Always looking for something to cry, or sue about
The First Amendment was designed to protect political speech against the government, not to protect dumb-ass jokes about people dying in terrorist attacks. Stop with the faux righteousness about the First Amendment. It's embarrassing.
TMack1024 you need to go back to school. the first amendment/ constitution was originally intended for criticism against the government, but was left purposely vague for application through out different aspects of society, over the duration of the life of this constitution. that is what makes it a genius document-fine balance between strict and loose
Catnip162
both of those attacks were not terrorist attacks in the typical sense. you have been deceived. do your research.
***** Nobody is saying that the guy should be banned from telling dumb-ass insensitive jokes. But it is itself a joke to somehow depict it as being patriotic to do so. Have we fallen so far as a society that we now place as high a value on lame jokes as we do on real political dissent? The town crier and the village idiot are now on equal footing. Very comforting.
“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought that they seldom use.” - Soren Kierkegaard
***** Oh so you're a conspiracy theorist too. NOW I'm starting to laugh a little!
I think it's funny that people think this is offensive. To all that were offended- quit crying. It has been 13 years, get over it. 100 people die every second of the day and I guarantee you don't care. Also, comedy has nothing off limits, to get over something it is best to laugh at it. And I was definitely laughing at this.
I was dying at this *no pun intended*
kikiwest2001 Well, I was trying to not be too plain, things usually crash and burn when it is.
Joan Rivers was way more offensive...and pretty funny, as well!
***** thank you. joan was a bartender with no soda. straight no chaser. chris just put things in a different perspective. no disrespect or anything. i can understand after 26 miles and someone said run. people have no logic system now.
Word !!
Now heres where I have to disagree with you Chris....I would DEFINITELY go into the freedom tower if that situation with Scarlett Johansson came up.
Isaac Silva I concur.
Isaac Silva 😂😂😂😂
Isaac must really love ribs.
hahahahahahahaahhahahahaah
Fr!!! No DOUBT!!!
This why that guy is a legend. Making serious topics hilarious.
I love Chris Rock!!! He always makes me laugh! It physically and mentally hurt me when he was slapped. Sending him big hugs and kisses
He can keep it clean and still be hillarious. He is that good.
*Majestic.*
Am I the only one who actually thought this was funny? It wasnt the funniest shit I have ever heard in my life, but those Martin Luther King sales pitches were comedy gold!
He Can't get over the fact that once he worked at the Red Lobster as a waiter!..
- Bring me some more tails boy!.. (White Slave Owner)
You clearly weren't
That was a very long and clever "fuck you America" joke. Not comedy.
IMO, this remains the funniest monologue on SNL ever
Great monologue Chris! Disregard the haters. If they feel this was too much they can stop watching or change the station.
The man is gifted.
What a great monologue! Classic hilarious stand-up :)
he got jokes but its based on actual events. you never run out of material. unlike Kevin Hart who does the same jokes from what now.
It's crazy how he said people would commercialize 9/11 and there's a video trending about a 9/11 mattress sale
And that Walmart Coke display.
And that wasn't that offensive. That was more like showing a cross for Christmas. What those idiots did in San Antonio would be more like selling nails at discount prices on Christmas.
Note to self: Buy a hardware store.
Pot metal nails are worth something, at least. Speaking, of Hardware Stores, remember "Mamas Family." I would like to see that family, resurrected, yesterday
One of the best comedians of our age.
I love Chris Rock, and anyone who criticizes a comic for the material in their act is taking life way too seriously, in my opinion. I, myself, don't choose what I do or don't believe based on what comics have to say on the (given) subject. Also, if I find their material offensive, I just don't watch them again. Good Lord, people, lighten up.
A lot of people take their petty symbolism way too seriously.
"I leave symbols to the symbol minded" - George Carlin
Personally, he does what a comic is supposed to do. He makes you think about shit. What most posters here perhaps don`t realize is that if you are arguing about the material and how it was delivered, then his job did what it was supposed to do: spark reactions.
I don`t mention who didn`t think of it funny because that part is totally personal, subjective and valid on it`s own.
Good point!!
Rock>scissors...and Smith.
I've come back to this video so many times. Easily one of the best monologues in recent memory.
God Bless Chris Rock 🙏🏾
When he said "Prince is here" a single tear rolled down my cheek. This episode of snl was my last memory of Prince
I saw him Live in Philadelphia.
He was AWESOME.
You the best Chris !!!!!!!!!!!!❤️
At the 6:40 Mark:
"The same way I can't drive a NASCAR down the street, I shouldn't be able to have a Machine Gun in my house, across the Street from a School".
Makes sense to me. Machine Guns, unlike assault rifles are illegal. But that's poetic license on rock's part.
+rdelrosso2001 Yes. Poetic license. Just like you can't drive a "NASCAR" down the street. But we all know exactly what he meant.
When you can kill 50 people with one assault rifle you've just bought online in Georgia with no background check, you don't really need machine guns to be illegal... Let's go further then: the 2nd amendment is to overthrow a tyranical government, but we all know guns wouldn't be enough against government drones, so why isn't the NRA advocating the free sale of plutonium and predator drones ?
These rifles are just regular rifles. Bet you did not know THAT.
No will smith allowed
Chris Rock is the best!!!!
The videos that show up in your feed after searching "Chris Rock" for the last week. Great monologue!
Gotta love Chris Rock! The funniest comedian, ever!
OMG... Hilarious!! Great set Chris Rock
"If you hear me talking about a disease, I got it" 😂😂😂
"Does this building duck?!" 😖
That building better win a game of duck duck goose with a plane
You gotta love this man! Funnier than ever!
Love you chris!!!
His prediction is on point. Somebody made mattress sales on 9/11 anniversary.
if you didnt like the Boston or 9-11 comment think about Thanksgiving.
Nothing is sacred in America !
I listened to the sketch. I don't think Rock was in his best form--- and maybe that's because his humour is very blue and he obviously can't do that type of routine on SNL--- but I don't see the big deal about the jokes themselves.
Actually, I do see the big deal--- I just think it's bloody hypocritical. I'm sure the people complaining are the same people who have laughed at jokes about paedophilia, domestic violence, the Unabomber, forcible sodomy, slavery, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
I refuse to go shopping in or around Thanksgiving. Deals or not, as someone who's worked in retail, and the fact that many stores are now opening ON Thanksgiving, I cannot condone that practice and won't perpetuate it, either.
+mario jefferson On Thanksgiving , we literally celebrate a massacre. great point.
Damn good point
I think the fact that we CAN make fun of anything is what makes us so great.
This is great, I come back to this time after time
This is the best monologue ever!!
This man has never disappointed me with his stand ups.👌✔Chris
One of the best monologues I've seen. Well done Chris.
This was great! Made me laugh the whole time. Love from Dallas💞
Of all the current crop of comedians,he makes the most sense.Add that to the fact he's funny as fuck!
One of my favorite stand up bits ever.
We need to protect this man at all costs. ✊🏾
Hilarious! I always love Chris Rock's humor.
Still one of the best around, so smart and straight shooting. I watched just for his monologue.
He's right about the so-called holidays, especially Christmas. Many people pass right on by the ONE day they set aside to thank God , and just go full speed toward the what -did -I -get -for -Christmas day. It seems that , in many states, they are doing their so-called Black Friday shopping sprees on Thanksgiving day. And we won't even begin to discuss the behavior of many adults during this shopping frenzy. It's sad.
I love Chris Rocks standup. He makes the truth funny. He is in my top 5. One of the smartest comedians ever.
Amazing monologue. Every pico-second of it was hilarious! 👍👍
He is amazing, brilliant and so so clever ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I'm just here because Chris predicted MLK Jr being sold out but from Dodge not Toyota.
J L fr. I was thinkin the same thing 😂
Chris Rock is absolutely brilliant in his material 😂😂😂
Love your work
comedy with a strong message!!! love this dude!!
Chris Rock is still and always will be one of my favorite comedians.
That was pretty good. I wish I watched the full episode lol
I keep coming back to this monologue. It’s perfect. And to top it off, he finishes with “Prince is here!” What an episode.
The part about the economist killed me, and the part about him realizing he needed a gun. I haven't laughed that hard at a video in a long time. One of the greatest to ever do it. The whole Christmas bit was delivered so well. Awesome. Cool.
