@@Turco949 He could have retaliated, physically, whatever the outcome. He could have made a verbal scene or conflict. He could have gone into a tantrum and made immediate demands of the show, security, whatever. He could have easily further disrupted the Oscars. ALL of that would have ultimately hurt him in Hollywood, if that matters. What he did was suck it up and wait for the right timing. Some are calling it 'class'... I'm calling it a smart self awareness that allowed him to take his time, maintain HIS identity and retaliate in the genius manner he did it. And I will go further to state that most people wouldn't have managed any of that as well as he did. I damn sure wouldn't have.
To be honest, crying about the slap for a year straight in comedy clubs across the country and then capping it off with a 20 minute rant in his Netflix special is pretty victimy
Only a troglodyte would call what Chris did "crying" when he only talked about the slap once before the special, when someone tried attacking Chappelle. To call it "crying" when a victim speaks about being assaulted is to excuse the assault, which is pathetic and ignorant
and timed before an oscar's that no one watched, wil was dropped from, and just boosted netflix over the oscars. can anyone tell me what movie or who was up for anything this year?
A live audience, streamed live around the world, for an hour-long comedy special, for the biggest streaming service in the world, all in one take...I put some of that down to nerves.
And then minutes later when Will Smith won an Oscar, he got a STANDING OVATION. Which tells you everything about the values of Hollywood and celebrities. They’re creeps.
@@waltciii3 Well I'm going in that industry but just trying to as a writer. Most writers go in and get spit right out and have to go away for a while and then come back. I'm hoping I wont have to ever do that once I get my foot in the door and get someone to look at a few of my scripts.
I think Chris came out on top with this. Not once did he play the victim card or get over emotional like Will did for the entire year. I have total respect for Chris but lost all respect for Will.
I can only laugh at Will Smith's reaction to Chris Rocks' special. " I'm hurt " and " He went too far." First off, I think that getting slapped on stage at the Oscars also hurt. And then " It went too far "? I don't think he went far enough. 😅
What impressed me above all was even though he said everything he said about Will (which was extremely deserved) he still praised Will Smith’s career. Like he clearly was a fan and on some level, he probably still is.
That's the point for the start of the special you know, when he kept saying word's hurt it was like foreshadowing for what was coming, i like how he delivered it its like jaws when you hear the music but you don't see the shark but you know its coming

All specials are performed over several shows and all of the best jokes, deliveries, and responses make the cut. The fumbles and flat jokes hit the "cutting room floor" in the final edit. For Chris to perform this in front of a live audience, streamed live around the world, for an hour-long comedy special, for the biggest streaming service in the world, all in one take, is not only nerve-racking...but takes balls of steel and iron will. (no pun intended) Taking on that unprecedented, monumental task is a pro at the top of his game. Ms. Clarkson, I'm with you on your take. 👍
The fact that Chris saved his rage towards the very end made his revenge even better. He didn't start off addressing the slap, he let it simmer and build up and took down both Will and Jada in an epic take down.
There is no take down. Only the vocal minority cares as usual. Will Smith made a mistake and Chris Rock rightfully as a comedian responded. All three of them are moving on from this, we should too loo
Chris owed it to his fans to respond. He had the patience to hold off world discussion until his next special. For Will Smith, it was like what Morgan Freeman said in the movie Se7en, _"This man is methodical, exacting, and worst of all...patient."_
Chris' writing was phenomenally calculatingly. I noticed that during the Bitch rant, he referenced Will as a Bitch 3-4 times, but the one reference to his wife was the word "Predator"... far more severe than Bitch as it infers dangerous character traits, instills societal judgement for abhorrent behavior and calls out her overall human being character. Another brilliant stroke was that not once during the complete show did Chris mention her name. Chris was told "Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth"... so he did, yet he still managed to slay and flay her. Chris Rock handled the whole situation brilliantly right down to the timing of release right before the next Oscars event. Other comedians furthered the Smith's humiliation with their comments about the show, without Chris having to say another word. The timing to the Oscars also highlighted the fact that the Smiths couldn't attend... another stroke of humiliation. Responding to the assault with a Netflix Special, allowed Chris the perfect platform to voice how he felt without having to do the talk show circuit and become a viral meme theme. This format let Chris be heard and didn't provide the opportunity for anyone to contradict him, interrupt him with questions or even disagree with him. Chris should have asked for $75 million and made the show 2 hours long... I know he had enough material to do so and I would love to hear it all. Chris Rock is a #$&%ing legend!!!
I understand the idea of doing it live. Rock was slapped LIVE in front of millions of viewers. His goal was to return the favor LIVE so millions could have that same reaction of “holy shit” we felt during the Oscars.
That is an interesting observation! I didn't watch either live, but thinking about it after your comment that makes a LOT of sense. Thank you for sharing!
I can't stop watching the last 10min of this special. It's pure, delicious catharsis for anyone who's ever been mistreated. And the fact that he took a YEAR to polish each aspect of that takedown, to where it's just air tight ...
Chris Rock was spitting the word "bitch" with SO much venom when he was referring to Will AND Jada at various points. Really emphasizing the word and putting a little extra relish on it. It was probably pretty cathartic.
@nicosixtyfour Yeah, I read something about Will and Jada were "hurt" by the comedy special. As much as Rock showed how pissed off he was, I have to agree that he didn't eviscerate them nearly as bad as he could have. That one line, "he didn't hurt me NEARLY as bad as she hurt him," wasn't even comedy. That's just facts. And to put his cuckoldry out into the world like that in that Red Table Talk BS? I will NEVER understand why either of them thought that was a good idea.
Yep, really wanted to emphasize that everyone was thinking of him as a bitch at that place in time, including himself, and he didnt contribute to that, in fact called him to give his support. He did that to illustrate how ridiculous it was to assault him over a joke, completely unrelated to his situation, and he takes out his anger on him in front of the world. A brave statement to the world that if you make any comment about his wife he will slap you, but only of course if you are much smaller than him. Exactly like a bitch would act.
That was my favorite part. “Everybody was calling him a BITCH. Charlemagne called him a BITCH. Drink Champs called him a BITCH. The Breakfast Club called him a BITCH, social media called him a BITCH.” 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know who Santino is, but he was talking a lot for someone who clearly wasn't familiar with the special or even the topic. Made himself look like an idiot.
@@sadare765 He was talking about Jada campaigning against the Oscars (and Chris, who was the Oscar host for that year) for Will Smith not being nominated for “Emancipation.” Then, Rock realizes when talking about the lack of nomination for “Emancipation” that he actually meant the lack of nomination for “Concussion. “He says, “No, not Emancipation, Concussion. I f***ed up the joke.” The setup requires Rock mentioning the movie Concussion so he can lead into the punchline “Then Will Smith went and gave me a concussion.” The reason Rock mixed up Concussion with Emancipation is because he also tells a later joke about having to watch Emancipation rooting for the white slavers to whip Will Smith more.
@@robertjohnson7178 only 25m? I think that’s a downgrade for him. 😂😂 After these movies BOMB, he’ll be done as far as BIG MOVIE PRODUCTIONS unless Scientology backs him up and gives money to promote. 😂😂😂
I thought it was that funny. There’s a couple of times I was crying. And it takes a lot to make me laugh. I’m glad Chris got to do this. The pain and the anger he’s held in for a year is finally out there for all of us to see. God bless him and his family, I pray all will be well.
Honestly? I thought he just sounded angry af. Which he has every right to be btw. The only thing I found strange was, didn’t they already talk “in private”?? Cause this sounds like something that Chris should have done like, immediately following the incident. It sounds like he has genuine disdain for them(again, he has every right to feel that way) everything he said was true too, but maybe that’s why it seems weird? Cause it seemed like he was just angry speaking the truth, more than he was telling super funny jokes. As long as most people think it’s funny that’s all the matters…I just thought he sounded angry, and not really joking about any of it😂😂
Well he has been working on that material/response to the slap for at least 2 weeks after the Oscars so he hasnt really held anything in for the past year. Yeah he proably does get angry about it especially as many shows hes done since then. Hell I'd still be mad if a mf slapped me & id they slapped me it wouldnt have been on the internet/tv, but in Chris' situation Id be mad I didnt dough his ass back in the nose. Lil babies/kids do all that slappin bs, far more disrespectful than the fist/an actual hit
@@jordancave3089 Chris rock didn’t sue Will Smith or had him arrested or as pointed out did the circuit as a victim, this was Chris rocks therapy session. The slap was public as was his humiliation. Everything he said about the Smiths was already out there in the public domain so no misinformation or disinformation here. Therefore it’s only right for Chris to retaliate to the slap publicly. The Smiths had already humiliated themselves, so no need for negatives comments from them about what Chris did. Time for them to take this punch like a boxer. Chris dropped his Mike at the end of that segment which was the end of the performance, I believe he is now ready to move on from this. Watched the whole thing myself, very funny and highly recommended.
@@sharondonaldson6263 I understand all that. I’m just saying, the material seemed like it was something he could’ve come up with off the cuff. So him taking an entire year to say, basically what everyone was saying immediately following that corny bs Will pulled. I mean, idk…I just thought it had more ill intent than funny lol which again, is completely understandable. I just figured it’d be a bit more with the time that’s passed.
By doing it live Mr. Rock put himself on the largest stage, in front of the largest audience any performer has faced since essentially Live AID in the 80's. He dropped one line. Even Queen's "Perfect in front of 1.9 billion people" set had a little bit of feedback.
@@0DdOne Are you trying to say the size of the audience doesn't matter as related to the nervousness of the performer? "The crowd size didn't matter by the way" is how that would be expressed in english. Or do you mean who he associates with?
A little bit grittiness and imperfection actually makes it better. Live is raw and unedited as opposed to something artificial that’s been edited to bits. Nice to have a break from that.
In this Netflix special, Chris Rock covers so much about the problems of the world not just the slap, even though he talked about the slap for only a few minutes he humiliated the Smiths to the max
I've been waiting on this one, trying to find them in the wild has been fun but I knew you'd come through. The best comedy news page to ever exist, never doubted you for a second ❤
Chris is a master joke writer/comedian. If you attack Chris Rock, you should EXPECT to have him use it as material. If Will Smith is upset, it's his own fault. He turned pain into comedy.
@@welldiness he was supposed to say "Concussion", which was gonna lead up to the punchline iirc, but he said "Emancipation" instead, which didn't really make sense for the context of the joke. He essentially mixed up the Will Smith movies.
Some of the best moments of standup are when mistakes are made and watching how a master comedian can roll with it or make it part of the show, is a measure of a comedian's talent. Cutting together multiple shows, like some of these comedians were saying, is just wrong for standup.
I watched the Cris Rock special on Netflicks this past weekend. I heard all the jokes on Will Smith . Mr. Smith deserved every joke told about him. I didn't think anything was held back. It was a proper shredding. Well done Mr. Rock, well done.
Totally agree with Jeff Ross, when you have a comedian of almost 40 years like Chris Rock you are going to have detractors and people just waiting to tear you down. I love Chris, he is quite awkward at times on stage and self deprecating which is very likeable, especially to a British audience. We like the underdog rather than the smooth very confident men you see on stage.
@Light Up nope. The slap was one thing. That's was embarrassing for both. Will Smith shouting about his wife from the audience after was humiliating. And his wife already humiliated him long before this happened.
I'm sorry but no they wont. It is over now. Once the man directly affected by the situation gives his take on it the matter, as it relates to comedy, is over. Not to mention every comedian other than Chros has already given their takes and told their jokes. This is old news. Everybody was just waiting for Chris to talk about it. He finally did. People will talk about his take on it and itll be old news.
@@ETAisNOW nope. I watch enough stand up and comedy podcasts to know what things they'll talk about. Every comedian already talked about Will Smith and made their jokes. It's old news to them. People were only waiting for Chris Rock to give his take. Now it's over. WHEN I am proven correct I wont feel the need to gloat about making such an obvious prediction, but if pigs fly and you are correct, I encourage you to lambaste me for it.
I laughed so much when Steve O said “well it was live” 😂😂😂 like the other dude is ripping on the Final Cut editing for a show, that was freaking live 😂 some people talk bs about stuff they’ve done zero research on and it’s just cringe sorry, good in Steve O for shutting him up
Oh I'm glad you said that Steve o corrected him because this clip cut before that part and I was like why t f is this guy acting like the live show was edited beforehand 😂drove me nuts
Yeah. That whole clip with that guy was cringe. "They're removing the Will Smith part". No, they're editing out one single joke from the set, that was live. What a doofus that guy was.
A lot of talk about Chris Rock fumbling, the joke. But I really like the way he came back around and fixed it because he did not use the same words and he called Jayda a bitch. I got a feeling that was impromptu and not part of the original joke that he fumbled. I really like the way he brought it back. You missed a spot masta!!
I agree, I watched it and there was a chuckle here and there but for the most part was waiting for the funny part to kick in... Of course when you have Bigger and Blacker and Bring the Pain in your resume you can only go down from there!!
@@WKRP187 same here. And I'm confused about some jokes like white men don't have issues in US and what about being raised to not fight back in front of white men. It was in front of the whole world tho.
Chris Rock went deep on this one and really took his time to pinpoint what is wrong with society. How he went in on Megan and Harry was fucking hilarious. The way he ruthlessly dismantled Will Smith was spectacular. Chris put on one the best performance of his life. The way he acted, during the year in between, not pressing charges, not suing Will but instead biding his time and destroying Will was all class. Exposing Jada’s beef with him, destroyed any credibility she had left. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
I love the screw up on is joke , because he came back and nailed it. Shows how great Chris is by going on after his mistake. Kind of like how he went on with the show after being slapped on stage. Chris is a genius!
No, Chris isn't Dave Chappelle. He's the original. He's the one Chappelle looked up to before he got big. Everybody knows/loves Chris for a reason, he's timeless.
Honestly a single slap has set the stage for so many comedians. He used the title Emancipation when saying Jada wanted him to quit the oscars bc Smith wasn’t nominated for Concussion. I only watched the live stand up once & I was able to retain that. I don’t think THAT was why ppl watched the stand up tho. Bc everything else was point on.
All that needs to happen now is for Dave Chappelle to host the Daily show and interview Chris Rock about the slap and what went into the Netflix special. Only then can this situation be put to rest.
I really loved it when Chris Rock said that he will never play the victim. He took that slap and kept the Oscars moving. Did he hit, sue, or press charges against Will? No. Chris can hold his head high because he did nothing wrong.
Pfft some of these guys saying they would never do a live special, and that Chris should just have recorded the best bits… man thats why you ain’t Chris Rock! Chris has already recorded several outstanding, pee-on-your-pants LOL stand ups, done movies, shows, he can do whatever he wants! And he ROCKED his live special because he is that GOOD (unlike some others). I had a blast watching him live and wished I could have been there in person to cheer him on.
I don’t understand why people are shocked about Will doing this , he’s a bully he did it on fresh prince and then he did to poor Paul Rodriguez..he’s a one dimensional actor that goes to his crying face when all else fails, but that is just personal opinion on his acting..
The mess up on the joke wasn't that big, anyone who focuses on that is in Mr Jada Smiths camp. Entire special was just savage af. He built the entireeeeeee special to close 10 min of ripping Will apart.
I hate the fact everybody is tearing him apart for flubbing a joke…sometimes the best lines come as a fuck up. And not only that an emotional joke. And yes this is something that he should have a moment to flub and be mad.
He waited for his moment, was allowed to say how he felt uninterrupted and he used it to create his best set ever. Will Smith ruined his own career and at the same time propelled Chris Rocks 😅
Who has the best response???
Dude said “and I noticed his audience is getting blacker” 🦗🦗🦗

That one line, "he didn't hurt me NEARLY as bad as she hurt him," wasn't even comedy. That's just facts. And to put his cuckoldry out into the world like that in that Red Table Talk BS? I will NEVER understand why either of them thought that was a good idea.
Yep, really wanted to emphasize that everyone was thinking of him as a bitch at that place in time, including himself, and he didnt contribute to that, in fact called him to give his support. He did that to illustrate how ridiculous it was to assault him over a joke, completely unrelated to his situation, and he takes out his anger on him in front of the world. A brave statement to the world that if you make any comment about his wife he will slap you, but only of course if you are much smaller than him. Exactly like a bitch would act.
That was my favorite part. “Everybody was calling him a BITCH. Charlemagne called him a BITCH. Drink Champs called him a BITCH. The Breakfast Club called him a BITCH, social media called him a BITCH.” 🤣🤣🤣
And at that SLAP moment will & jada showed that they truly WERE a cupla b!+ches.
These outtakes just show you how incredibly smart and well spoken most comedians are
*Some
I don't think Joe Rogan is someone an intelligent person would call intelligent.
Everyone and their grandma has a video out about Chris rock’s special, so far this is one of the best. No clickbait bullshit. Love it, thank you.
My favorite part of that was when he stated he knew better “because I have parents!” 😂
That was EXCELLENT!!!!
Rocks strength wasn't strength, It was comedy and IQ.

Santino going on a tangent about watching your own special just for Steve-o to chime in and say "Well he did it live so..." was priceless. lol
Yeah. He was basically telling us he didn't watch it, yet he was analyzing it. I hate that.
Santino is not funny. No one will change my mind on this.
Exactly santino is an idiot
@@puckered6036 Santino and Bobby are hilarious together on their podcast. Their standup isn’t the best, but either is Rogan’s 😂
I don't know who Santino is, but he was talking a lot for someone who clearly wasn't familiar with the special or even the topic. Made himself look like an idiot.
Let's just say the Chris Rock special SLAPPED back hard
When people say they, "didn't watch it," they so TOTALLY watched it.
Chris is a legend and he got slapped by Will and he slapped Will back with that set of jokes and I was here for it!!!😂💁🏽♀️
They didn't remove the joke, they removed the slip up portion. The rest of the joke is still there from where he retells it.
What was the joke that flubbed?
@@sadare765 He was talking about Jada campaigning against the Oscars (and Chris, who was the Oscar host for that year) for Will Smith not being nominated for “Emancipation.” Then, Rock realizes when talking about the lack of nomination for “Emancipation” that he actually meant the lack of nomination for “Concussion. “He says, “No, not Emancipation, Concussion. I f***ed up the joke.” The setup requires Rock mentioning the movie Concussion so he can lead into the punchline “Then Will Smith went and gave me a concussion.” The reason Rock mixed up Concussion with Emancipation is because he also tells a later joke about having to watch Emancipation rooting for the white slavers to whip Will Smith more.
Will Smith RUINED his career at that very slap! Forever, OVER a narcissistic wife! Wow!
That’s the narc signature…help you RUIN your career if not your life.
He has two movies coming out and he is being paid $25 million for each.
@@robertjohnson7178 only 25m? I think that’s a downgrade for him. 😂😂 After these movies BOMB, he’ll be done as far as BIG MOVIE PRODUCTIONS unless Scientology backs him up and gives money to promote. 😂😂😂
@@_Knowledge_Is_Power Bad Boys 4 will not bomb.
@@robertjohnson7178 He will be stuck in those movies because no Oscar quality scripts will be coming in.
Marlon making fun of Will's laugh was hilarious, the impression got me laughing
Will Smith played himself. Has no one to blame but himself
I have loved Chris Rock since I was little. Wrote a paper about him in 5th grade 😂 new special was fire.
I thought it was that funny. There’s a couple of times I was crying. And it takes a lot to make me laugh. I’m glad Chris got to do this. The pain and the anger he’s held in for a year is finally out there for all of us to see. God bless him and his family, I pray all will be well.
Honestly? I thought he just sounded angry af. Which he has every right to be btw. The only thing I found strange was, didn’t they already talk “in private”?? Cause this sounds like something that Chris should have done like, immediately following the incident. It sounds like he has genuine disdain for them(again, he has every right to feel that way) everything he said was true too, but maybe that’s why it seems weird? Cause it seemed like he was just angry speaking the truth, more than he was telling super funny jokes. As long as most people think it’s funny that’s all the matters…I just thought he sounded angry, and not really joking about any of it😂😂
Well he has been working on that material/response to the slap for at least 2 weeks after the Oscars so he hasnt really held anything in for the past year. Yeah he proably does get angry about it especially as many shows hes done since then. Hell I'd still be mad if a mf slapped me & id they slapped me it wouldnt have been on the internet/tv, but in Chris' situation Id be mad I didnt dough his ass back in the nose. Lil babies/kids do all that slappin bs, far more disrespectful than the fist/an actual hit
@@jordancave3089 Chris rock didn’t sue Will Smith or had him arrested or as pointed out did the circuit as a victim, this was
Chris rocks therapy session. The slap was public as was his humiliation. Everything he said about the Smiths was already out there in the public domain so no misinformation or disinformation here. Therefore it’s only right for Chris to retaliate to the slap publicly.
The Smiths had already humiliated themselves, so no need for negatives comments from them about what Chris did. Time for them to take this punch like a boxer.
Chris dropped his Mike at the end of that segment which was the end of the performance, I believe he is now ready to move on from this.
Watched the whole thing myself, very funny and highly recommended.
@@sharondonaldson6263 I understand all that. I’m just saying, the material seemed like it was something he could’ve come up with off the cuff. So him taking an entire year to say, basically what everyone was saying immediately following that corny bs Will pulled. I mean, idk…I just thought it had more ill intent than funny lol which again, is completely understandable. I just figured it’d be a bit more with the time that’s passed.
By doing it live Mr. Rock put himself on the largest stage, in front of the largest audience any performer has faced since essentially Live AID in the 80's. He dropped one line. Even Queen's "Perfect in front of 1.9 billion people" set had a little bit of feedback.
Well but just understand expectations
His crowd didn’t matter btw
@@0DdOne Are you trying to say the size of the audience doesn't matter as related to the nervousness of the performer?
"The crowd size didn't matter by the way" is how that would be expressed in english.
Or do you mean who he associates with?
A little bit grittiness and imperfection actually makes it better. Live is raw and unedited as opposed to something artificial that’s been edited to bits. Nice to have a break from that.
ICONIC!!! This is why Chris Rock will always be THE MAN!!!

#willsmithISabitch
In this Netflix special, Chris Rock covers so much about the problems of the world not just the slap, even though he talked about the slap for only a few minutes he humiliated the Smiths to the max
Rock handled that WELL. I was stoked for that man! Rock 🪨 🐐
He got bitched slapped by a man and did nothing. yeah great reaction your a woman from now on to every man lol
Chris Rock hit it out of the park!
I've been waiting on this one, trying to find them in the wild has been fun but I knew you'd come through. The best comedy news page to ever exist, never doubted you for a second ❤
It’s given me enough free time to find new ways to ignore my wife and kids.🙏🏼
It was great...Loved it ....He got his revenge all the way to bank...And he is a class act...
I hope this will help Chris heal. He was hit for a joke that I thought was mild. That little bit of alopcia Jada is the least of her worries.
Chris is a master joke writer/comedian. If you attack Chris Rock, you should EXPECT to have him use it as material. If Will Smith is upset, it's his own fault. He turned pain into comedy.
I think that Chris leaving the flubbed joke in his special just shows how human he is... we all make mistakes ❤
Can u pls point out and explain the flubbed joke cause I don't get it
@@welldiness he was supposed to say "Concussion", which was gonna lead up to the punchline iirc, but he said "Emancipation" instead, which didn't really make sense for the context of the joke. He essentially mixed up the Will Smith movies.
@@__Hmmmmmmmm__ ok thank you
Some of the best moments of standup are when mistakes are made and watching how a master comedian can roll with it or make it part of the show, is a measure of a comedian's talent. Cutting together multiple shows, like some of these comedians were saying, is just wrong for standup.
Will smith deserves every word of Chris Rock’s Netflix special
I really like hearing that Rock's family had his back and wanted retaliation on his behalf.
I watched the Cris Rock special on Netflicks this past weekend. I heard all the jokes on Will Smith . Mr. Smith deserved every joke told about him. I didn't think anything was held back. It was a proper shredding. Well done Mr. Rock, well done.
Totally agree with Jeff Ross, when you have a comedian of almost 40 years like Chris Rock you are going to have detractors and people just waiting to tear you down. I love Chris, he is quite awkward at times on stage and self deprecating which is very likeable, especially to a British audience. We like the underdog rather than the smooth very confident men you see on stage.
To be fair, the same people tried so hard to tear down Will Smith over a slap as someone who has a 40 year spotless career.
@Light Up nope. The slap was one thing. That's was embarrassing for both. Will Smith shouting about his wife from the audience after was humiliating. And his wife already humiliated him long before this happened.
Tom Segura: I think it is his best set in 20 years.
audience: That is the hardest laugh I have had yet at this special.
Will Smith started getting acting gigs again and people started forgetting about the slap... perfect timing to remind everyone.
This is only the beginning. Every comic, young or seasoned, is going to have a bit about Will Smith. I’m looking forward to it all. 😂👏
I'm sorry but no they wont. It is over now. Once the man directly affected by the situation gives his take on it the matter, as it relates to comedy, is over. Not to mention every comedian other than Chros has already given their takes and told their jokes. This is old news. Everybody was just waiting for Chris to talk about it. He finally did. People will talk about his take on it and itll be old news.
@@tonyg490 I bet you’re wrong
@@ETAisNOW okay feel free to let me know how dumb I was if I am......but I wont be.
@@tonyg490 you will be
@@ETAisNOW nope. I watch enough stand up and comedy podcasts to know what things they'll talk about. Every comedian already talked about Will Smith and made their jokes. It's old news to them. People were only waiting for Chris Rock to give his take. Now it's over. WHEN I am proven correct I wont feel the need to gloat about making such an obvious prediction, but if pigs fly and you are correct, I encourage you to lambaste me for it.
Bill Burr is my 2nd favorite CURRENT comedian after Chappelle. Those 2 guys always kill me. Love that they're buddies too.
When Chris fumbled that joke shows just how angry he is.
Naw, that was just a slip. Just mixed up the names of which movie. His anger came out when he repeatedly called him a "b!tch".
I laughed so much when Steve O said “well it was live” 😂😂😂 like the other dude is ripping on the Final Cut editing for a show, that was freaking live 😂 some people talk bs about stuff they’ve done zero research on and it’s just cringe sorry, good in Steve O for shutting him up
Oh I'm glad you said that Steve o corrected him because this clip cut before that part and I was like why t f is this guy acting like the live show was edited beforehand 😂drove me nuts
Santino's an idiot anyways... Prob still wlda made those dumb comments even still
Yeah. That whole clip with that guy was cringe. "They're removing the Will Smith part". No, they're editing out one single joke from the set, that was live. What a doofus that guy was.
The flub makes the recording more classic. It's like the weird piano chord in the beginning of Roxanne
I watched the special live and of course noticed the flub. Just went back and watched the segment and it's edited so cleanly. Great job on Netflix.
Likewise
'cause I have no idea what they are referencing and I can't find it..
I want thousand percent, believe that Chris Rock’s performance was phenomenal, live brilliantly, written and delivered. Couldn’t stop laughing.
Chris Rock is a true "G " MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯 NUFF SAID
IMHO, Mr. Rock was smacked live in front of the world, so he clapped back live on front of the world.
Absolutely it was a gr8 metaphor
Comedians are always on top of things.
NOOOO THEY DID NOT REMOVE ANYTHING EXCEPT CORRECTING THE CONCUSSION JOKE. JUST WATCHED AGAIN
Sticks & stones will break my bones, but words may never harm me....but this time it did & it was brilliant.
A lot of talk about Chris Rock fumbling, the joke. But I really like the way he came back around and fixed it because he did not use the same words and he called Jayda a bitch. I got a feeling that was impromptu and not part of the original joke that he fumbled. I really like the way he brought it back. You missed a spot masta!!
He kept her name out of his mouth the whole time as well which I thought was just genius, he did not say her name even one time.
I didn't think the special was even close to Chris' best work tbh, but it got a few chuckles from me. The Will Smith joke was pretty good though
For sure, it was more of a statement for him. Like somw others said in these clips, everyone wanted to watch just for that
I agree, I watched it and there was a chuckle here and there but for the most part was waiting for the funny part to kick in... Of course when you have Bigger and Blacker and Bring the Pain in your resume you can only go down from there!!
@@WKRP187 same here. And I'm confused about some jokes like white men don't have issues in US and what about being raised to not fight back in front of white men. It was in front of the whole world tho.
Chris Rock went deep on this one and really took his time to pinpoint what is wrong with society. How he went in on Megan and Harry was fucking hilarious. The way he ruthlessly dismantled Will Smith was spectacular. Chris put on one the best performance of his life. The way he acted, during the year in between, not pressing charges, not suing Will but instead biding his time and destroying Will was all class. Exposing Jada’s beef with him, destroyed any credibility she had left. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
he took that slap like pacquiao. 🥊
Pacquia was probably laughing his ass off there.
I love the screw up on is joke , because he came back and nailed it. Shows how great Chris is by going on after his mistake. Kind of like how he went on with the show after being slapped on stage. Chris is a genius!
Decision: TKO for Chris! 🏆
Marlyn Waynes take on will Smith vs rock slap was by far the funniest Sh*t I ever seen on standup lmfao
Will and his family has defiantly watched the whole thing:)
Definitely *
Have*
@@goomba7495 he definitely defiantly watched it
“If someone can take a smack, you can take a joke” 😭😭😭 that’s a bar
I’m not sure what Will Smith thought was going to happen…
No, Chris isn't Dave Chappelle. He's the original. He's the one Chappelle looked up to before he got big. Everybody knows/loves Chris for a reason, he's timeless.
As some1 said n a documentary, Chris is the Young Jedi
Just like Darnell said " If you can take a slap, you can take a joke" EXACTLY two thumbs up 👍👍to Chris my favorite comedian
Chris Rock had every god damn right to handle that response how and when he wanted. This shouldn’t even be a conversation…
Honestly a single slap has set the stage for so many comedians. He used the title Emancipation when saying Jada wanted him to quit the oscars bc Smith wasn’t nominated for Concussion. I only watched the live stand up once & I was able to retain that. I don’t think THAT was why ppl watched the stand up tho. Bc everything else was point on.
That slap by Smith was kind of like the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. Set himself up for a world of hurt...comedy style.
I really really enjoyed Chris Rock’s special; he had me bawling the entire time. His last joke was fucking hilarious too.
All that needs to happen now is for Dave Chappelle to host the Daily show and interview Chris Rock about the slap and what went into the Netflix special. Only then can this situation be put to rest.
Yo! That'd be craaaaazzzyyyyy
Dave would not do that terrible show.
I really loved it when Chris Rock said that he will never play the victim. He took that slap and kept the Oscars moving. Did he hit, sue, or press charges against Will? No. Chris can hold his head high because he did nothing wrong.
It was a brilliant ending to his comedy special.
Pfft some of these guys saying they would never do a live special, and that Chris should just have recorded the best bits… man thats why you ain’t Chris Rock! Chris has already recorded several outstanding, pee-on-your-pants LOL stand ups, done movies, shows, he can do whatever he wants! And he ROCKED his live special because he is that GOOD (unlike some others). I had a blast watching him live and wished I could have been there in person to cheer him on.
The edited version took out him calling Jada a bitch, and him fumbling the concussion joke.
Like I already said, Chris waited got THE perfect comeback and came back for will, took a year to fine tune that shit, Perfect 🥰 aussie girl. X
I don’t understand why people are shocked about Will doing this , he’s a bully he did it on fresh prince and then he did to poor Paul Rodriguez..he’s a one dimensional actor that goes to his crying face when all else fails, but that is just personal opinion on his acting..
The mess up on the joke wasn't that big, anyone who focuses on that is in Mr Jada Smiths camp. Entire special was just savage af. He built the entireeeeeee special to close 10 min of ripping Will apart.
You never want a bard to be pissed off.
Its all out !!! The one I watched was perfect 😊
I hate the fact everybody is tearing him apart for flubbing a joke…sometimes the best lines come as a fuck up. And not only that an emotional joke. And yes this is something that he should have a moment to flub and be mad.
Can you time stamp the different podcast I would like to check out the ones that I have never seen before.
He waited for his moment, was allowed to say how he felt uninterrupted and he used it to create his best set ever. Will Smith ruined his own career and at the same time propelled Chris Rocks 😅
