This wasn't revenge. . . It was justice.
True justice is getting paid millions
yep you reap what you sow
The outro audio to these Abc Clips are so annoying.
mp: Those two men were annoying. Especially the one with the beard who said Chris Rock should have took the higher road. Let's see how he would act if someone slapped him.
Poetic justice
I can't believe this man thinks Chris was hateful and vindictive. Are you serious? He has a right to say what he wants. He was the one that got slapped.
That's what I'm saying we are all adults here!! Like since when did things become PG all of a sudden half the stuff thats on TV I don't want to see or here but I'm grown so I guess we all have to hear it.
the guy is an ass licker, he he doesnt know that a slap in public is hard.
Comedy ain’t gone be the same the world going be boring without comedians with my weak as generations
@@pahgamingchannel8151 You know even the darlings like Obama gets roasted on shows and sometimes during correspondence dinners. they won't bring guns to silence comedians
that guy is obviously a Chris Rock hater, how can person slap you in public, and you not even allow to at least make a harsh joke (which I don't think it was harsh) about it ??
Huge respect for Chris Rock 🤟 Literally had goosebumps at the end of the show.
I agree! Chris rock is great!
Chris Rock's stand up material has always been his absolute best when he is passionate and fully engaged about a topic close to his heart. His live show was clearly one of those moments where he felt passionate about setting the record straight, and getting a giant weight off his mind and off his chest. His set reminded me of the younger Chris Rock when he always set the stage on fire.
Material? Passionate? Engaged? Do you know what "material" he used that triggered Smith??? Omfg
Chris Rock is a G. Took the slap like a champ. Made a Netflix special and capitalized on it, and roasted Will & Jada 😂 incredible
And all he had to do is get slapped like a bitch in front of the world😂
He is laughing 😃 last
Chris is a coward
FRIENDS, BROTHERS FROM EUROPE, ASIA AND AMERICA🇺🇦🇵🇱🇺🇸🇩🇪🏴🇫🇷🇨🇦🇮🇹🇪🇸🇨🇿🇹🇷 ❗ UKRAINE NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT IN BAKHMUT NOW, WE FIGHT FOR WHOLE WORLD❗ THANK YOU 🙏
TWISTED LIES
HE'S WEAK AND COWARDLY
The low blow was what Will Smith did to Chris period.
And for her ….who is she?
@@lunalunitalunera5832 nobody important
Will should have dumped Jada a long time ago. She is a drag on his soul.
He got slapped, not beat up
@@JJW48002 So?? Are you condoning Smith's actions? And I will say this : Will got mocked, not slapped on stage.
That night at the Oscars, Will didn't only hit Chris. He hit all of us. Like Chris Rock we all loved Will Smith until this happened. This late response from Chris Rock is talentet, witty, charming, fair and sets new standards for comedy. Will Smith should be deeply grateful for Chris Rocks handling of him and his act in this manner. The most humiliating of the whole event for Will Smith - and for the Oscars as well - was that he went on accepting the Oscar statue which he should not have done if he had been seriously angered and hurt. In stead he should - like any qualified person would - have left the building thus keeping most of his dignity intact. But he didn't and by doing so he kind of condoned his rigth to hit other people and eventually made any of his later excuses seem false and croocked. This is how a public staged suicide looks like. R.I.P. Will Smith!
I agree with you. What Will did was virtually inexcusable and unforgivable. Chris is one of my favorite comedians and I couldn’t bear to see him get slapped onstage in front of zillions of celebrities anticipating their awards. I’ve been a Chris fan for as long as I can remember and I can’t imagine anything good come out of Will in the near future. What Will did was morally wrong and I’ll never forgive or trust Will to keep his act together in front of money-making celebrities.
He hit all of us? Jesus Christ dude, hes the guy from wild wild west not one of the 12 disciples!
Narcissistic BS. He slapped Chris because of their long contentious history that has nothing to do with you.
Chris Rock. Got The last 40 million-dollar laugh ❤❤
Chris Rock handle both the slap and his stand up special with class. Thank you Chris Rock.
He can’t be mad he knew everybody hates Chris
I bet if Chris Rock was over 200 pounds the slap would have never happened...
@@Mrzayskates you must be desperate for ages to make that comment 🤣 😂 😅
He's a fucking comedian, he told jokes at the Oscar's, and on his show, thats it. Also that one guy who said he was being sexist for talking about her? No, he was making fun of her like anyone else. It would be sexist to make fun of a bald man, but not a bald woman,
The show was pure garbage like them boots with no shoestrings
When people side against Chris Rock because of words, as opposed to the physical violence Will Smith displayed, humanity is just f'd up.
lol.. physical violence
It was gone when trump was elected
That part
@@DanGittens what does Trump have to do with anything? This has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with being elite. Different rules for different people
Verbal abuse is the same as physical violence. I wish his parents would have told him to stop calling black women bitch. I hate everyone who thinks it's okay to disrespect a black women! Sad world!
Will Smith thought he was gonna walk Scott free on this one. Big up to Chris you Rock dude. The sweetest revenge is patience.
He did walk away Scott free technically that comedy did not make up as payback. Chris rock needs to hang it up
Chris rock is a legend, didn’t press charges and absolutely obliterated will.
Chris Rock is saying the truth which nobody wants to say. Respect!
I said it before and I'll say it again: Will might've won the battle at the Oscars last year, but lost the war against Chris this past Saturday. Ever since Chris was a kid, he's been pushed around, beat up, and bullied. I have a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect for him for not stooping low (like Will did) and using physical violence. Instead, he did what he always does... Used his comedy as a deadly weapon to strike back with. Chris said that Jada hurt Will way more than Will hurt him. And in turn, on his Netflix special, Chris hurt Will AND JADA, way more than that slap did. Salute to CR!
I think most people agree with you, regardless of what they thought about his controversial jokes in this special. I am not a fan of stand-up comedy, but I watched every second of this and cheered out loud during several parts. I do not think it was vindictive, though I would have avoided using certain expletives. But that is just me. And, I'd give Chris Rock grace to say whatever he wants to say on his show after what he's endured for the past 11 months.
That one guy miss the point, talking about Chris being hypocritical. Chris using the "B" word to Jada and saying he was raised by parents... after Will went violent.
Chris is just finishing what those two started.
Most parents teach their kids don't start it... but you can definitely finish it.
@@stevegovea1 facts
Well said!!!
Everybody Hates Chris is a good portrayal of him even if it's a comedy series.
I love Chris Rock. He kept quiet until a year later. That shows a lot of how much of a man he is. A BIG MAN. He was raised right.
I applaud Chris Rock for how he handled the situation on Oscar and how he executed his revenge. Can't nobody say Chris Rock was out of line or harsh or took a low blow or anything, it don't even begin to compare to the slap itself. Mad props to Chris Rock!
Chris has a right to say Everything he said. I love the revenge.
It wasn’t revenge, it was justice
I'd say they're both even now as far as playing the whiney victim. Just try to justify Rock's verbal slap back after Smiths double apology. This Netflix show verbal assault stunt was ill advised. Congrats to Will for owning it and the power to make a grown man cry on the world stage still a year later. Sigh.
COWARDLY
I don't think it was revenge, I think he was letting all his feelings out and it was probably therapy for him to do this.
Got paid 40 million to call jada a bitch for all to see. What did she do?
Will did not lose it because of the joke, given that he first laughed at it.
His boss unleashed him.
exactly...He lashed out when he saw Jada's face & released I'm going home with her so he decided to hit Chris
His lady of the night threatened him
Yep 👍 he did laughed at the joke made bout his wife 😂 then he pretended to be the man 🙄 he stupid to think he could get us fooled 😌 I support Chris rock so I gotta find emancipation and watch too! 😂👍
@@princessndlovu4869 "realized" not "released". Words matter, as Chris has made it clear.
I'm so proud of Chris Rock.
The Will jokes were hilarious but that whole show was amazing. Glad Chris is back!!!
The way Chris Rock patiently held his response for an entire year, waited for the right payday, AND performed it LIVE (just like the 😮slap was live) a week before the 2023 Oscars…….GENIUS!!!!!
Good timing yes. The media would have been talking about Will’s slap and his abandonment from the Show etc. Now they talking about Chris’ response 🎉❤
@@shyredwall Exactly! Love that for him!
This was Chris Rock slapping back and hitting it square. Good on him.
@@MTMF.london This gives new meaning to the lyrics of the song “Right on Track “ by the Breakfast Club 🎼
Will May be bigger, but Chris is smarter!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
His slap is going to be out forever, he took it quietly. He has the right to say ANYTHING, it will never be enough
no he will never say anything about Jews or Gays ... Trust me. Just his own people.
This is great and professional. He is really well brought up. A lot of lessons learned,. Some stars love to normalise wrong doing, which is dangerous for our future and I am so glad that Chris used his comedy to call them out. Thank you Chris for being bold and genuine, you are saving us from moral decadence.
I Love how Will Smith slapped a comedian on live TV and didn't see this special coming😂😂😂
Clayton Davis: First...Chris Rock is not a preacher. He is a comedian. He does not have to show nobody kindness, is not his responsabilitiy to teach nobody anything. You learn that home, not by a comedian or celebrity. Second...he talked about Will and Jadas marriage crisis? Will and Jada have spoken themselves about it a zillion times.
When a person has been assaulted, no one has the right to tell you how or when to get over it. Chris did a brilliant come back. Just like the assault, his special will be seen forever. Words hurt too!
There are multiple photos of Chris Rock with Harvey Weinstein. And you want to know WHY @chrisrock is attacking Michael Jackson, again?? We have seen this all before ! Focus on Michael, while avoiding the true predators
Every thing we do and say we must give an account of it. We want to get someone back actually is not our job. God is in control. God is over everything but he did give man choice. Man can choose him or not. It is sad that man chooses to celebrate an other God. Because God in the garden told man not to eat of the tree of good and evil. So, the serpent was more cunning than all the other creatures in the garden and he spoke to Eve said, “God did not say you would surely die if you ate of the fruit. So she ate of the tree and called her husband to eat. That going against God caused the sun now on all men. When he was born from his mother Mary a mystery birth by God’s spirit. He was conceived by God’s causing her to be with child as a virgin. His birth was wonderful and he lived on the earth for 33 1/2 years and started his ministry at 12 years old. The Lord Jesus died for the sins for all men. All we have to do is believe he die for you and you are a sinner from the sin of Adam and Eve. And be put in the Kingdom of God. You are baptized in in water and after you are covered with his sanctifying blood and cleanse from everything sin. He comes in your heart and you love all the saints. You call” Oh Lord Jesus!” You tell him you love him.
Chris Rock - one of the funniest men alive - isn’t funny at all on a 31-minute tape of a phone call he had in August 2001 with disgraced private eye Anthony Pellicano, who was helping the comic fight a bogus rape charge.
“Once you’re accused of rape, you’re just [bleep]ed, you know?” a stressed-out Rock tells the detective.
An angry Pellicano replies: “That’s why I want to blacken this girl up, totally. I want to make her out to be a lying, scumbag, manipulative [bleep]sucker . . . stupid [bleep].”
Rock agrees, telling Pellicano, “I’m [bleep]ed. I’m better getting caught with needles in my arm, way better, needles, with pictures. There’s Chris Rock shooting heroin - much better blow to the career.”
The Huffington Post obtained the recording and planned to put all 31 minutes on its Web site last night. The Web site said prosecutors plan to call Rock as a witness in Pellicano’s trial in Los Angeles on charges of illegal wiretapping.
Rock was distraught because Monica Zsibrita, who had a one-night stand with Rock at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1998, was suing him three years later, claiming he had raped her and fathered her child.
Zsibrita claimed that she saved Rock’s semen on a tissue she stored in her freezer and that she’d prove Rock fathered her child.
But she later dropped her suit.
Rock was separated from his wife, Malaak, at the time of the fling. (Despite divorce filings last year, which were subsequently dropped, they are still together.)
During the call, Pellicano reads Zsbrita’s police report to Rock and tells him her allegations aren’t taken seriously by the cops.
Rock says, “I know the night we went to the Ivy she had on white pants. I only noticed cause my wife’s real classy and subdued and I’m out with a girl with big [breast]s and white pants.”
Pellicano then reads to Rock a portion of the report that said Zsbrita collected his semen in a Kleenex and put it in her pocket.
Rock responds, “I’ve been so set up.”
“Does your old lady know what’s going on?” Pellicano asks.
Rock: “No. She thinks it’s over. Put it that way: She knows of it.”

@@cockeyedoptimista He didn’t hurt him, he’s just making Will wake up and realize that he’s in a poison relationship.
@@roseshimabukuro8038 1
It was just as i expected ! well done Chris. Greatest slap back. I hope he continues with these jokes. The smiths deserve it.
The nerve of Will suggesting Rock should move on; never tell or suggest it to any victim is insulting and on top of that Will is said to be embarrassed by Chris Rock Netflix special, when in fact Will should be even more embarrassed with the THEFT of Hope River which ended up in Emancipation film. Vision Image film who has the book rights plans to sue Jada and Will and Apple TV+...etc. I applaud this move!
Some people forget that Smith’s initial reaction to Rock’s joke was a LAUGH. 😔
But if your wife told you before about the many times for years he's dissed you and the marriage especially when there's accusing issues then I could see how someone could do this but Will Smith is also a Top Notch Actor as well.
Ikr!!!
@@johnkinlock5017 The problem for Smith is the Slap made such an impression.....I was watching an old "Fresh Prince" episode a few months back and there's a scene where Will's character goes to confront someone......guess what thought flashed through my mind?..... "Is he going to slap the guy?". Just an involuntary thought, and I can't be the only one who has those thoughts. I'm afraid this will stick with him for a long, long time.
@@davidking4838of course this is gonna stick with will he slapped a man at the oscars on live tv will messed up big time nobody is gonna let this go it’s literally been a year and still feels like it happened yesterday
EXACTLY- Toxic-narc-woman Jada gave hubby the stink eye and he obeyed like a remote controlled automaton aka groomed cucked victim. Chris Rock paid for Will's choice to NOT do the smart thing and run as fast as he could away from Jada when he met her all those years ago. Jada is the Devil (apologies to the Devil).
Chris Rock had every right to unleash his anger. You don't slap a grown ass man in front of the damn world. I respect Chris for taking that slap and not loose himself in and regret it in the long run. Do what every comedian would do. Unleash it in Stand Up comedy. You could tell Chris was Pissed off. But he didn't use any violence. Used Laughter as his choice of weapon.
This dude is one of the most classy dude in show business. Sooooooooo funny. His delivery is impeccable. I bow down to you SIR 🥊🥊🥊🥊
What violence Chris weighs 150 pounds if that he jokes about it.Smith would've bodied him worse if Chris tried to fought back
Or Chris could have not disrespected another man's wife in the first place! And did Chris learn anything?! Because he doubled down in the Netflix special by calling the man's wife all kinds of bitches!!!! Mad immature and disrespectful!!!
You don't mock a woman for having a disease, "Vengeance." So uncool of you to post the above comment...
@@justrosy5 Okay and what do you expect if you had no clue of said disease. Have you even seen how she mocks Will Smith. You are blind like so many other people on this planet when it comes to Jada. Don't let that woman fool you. You need to open your eyes like so many other people that keep defending her. That woman is Heartless. But hey keep defending her.. I will always be on Chris Rock's Side. Meanwhile even Will Laughed at said JOKE. SO instead of coming to me whining, go talk to Will Smith for laughing too.
Chris Rock DID teach us something about grace the night of the Oscar's. He could have had Will Smith kicked out or worse arrested, but he didn't. He could have quit the gig right then, but he carried on with with his duties. Chris Rock has nothing to prove to anyone. He's awesome!
To be honest, Will initially laughed but acted according to his wife's futher orders😂
This man said that Chris should have taken the high road. He DID. For one whole year he stayed silent. Chris has the right to feel how he wants to feel. He’s a comedian. This is his way of saying how he feels in regards to this matter. HE got slapped on national television. He didn’t ask for that. He handled the situation with grace at the moment.
Right....what is this dude talking about
He totally took the high road . He's no dummy.
That dude sounds moist as hell!
I feel like I want to slap this guy myself and see how he takes his bullshit high road
@@abi1971 I actually had a similar mindset. He knows that he wouldn’t be saying everything that he’s saying now if he got slapped/punched on national television. Smh.
That’s when you see people’s real emotions coming out.
I liked the way Chris Rock got his revenge without putting his hands on anyone!!
Right.. Sweet revenge
Revenge is the protest of children, not grown ups. I wonder if his Psych ok’d him using the b-word?
Best part is, he didn't need to draw new content. His content was on some red table. Lol. Brilliant!
Chris Rock isn't the first nor will he be the last to call Will's wife a bitch. Rock showed mercy to Smith by not having him arrested and suing him in a very winnable case. His special was a retaliation worth waiting for.
he handled it the best way he wanted
"Rock's joke made Smith loose it " but only after he had a good laugh. You can't ignore something that was caught on cameras from every other angle.
*lose
Well said 💯
Right
Doesn't matter if he laughed or not, the moment he realised his wife not being happy about it he took the highest level of responsibility to fight for her honor as she's the wife of Will Smith.
How is it appreciated when someone jokes about people's insecurities why a joke is required at a cost of making someone feel bad especially at Oscar.
😑
First what Chris did is wrong no matter whatever or who ever supports him. He shouldn't have made a joke about her condition no matter if she's cheating on Will Smith or no matter what she does 🥲
@@shawnh4528 Regardless, of who is right or who is wrong in this case, two wrongs will NEVER make a right.
I am a woman, I am not agreeing nor am I disagreeing with Chris Rock or his joke, but the reaction of Will Smith does not equate the fact that he resorted to violence against another person. Attacking someone is not acceptable. These were 2 grown men. What would have happened to 2 little 5 year old boys displaying the same behaviors? I don’t believe that people would still be able to view the situation in same light. Zero Tolerance for Violence is still our social norm, isn’t it?
The guy from variety clearly was never hit in the face in front of the world, Chris has every right to express himself!
You can tell from that hat he's a bozo
Yes! This is what’s wrong with woke Democrats. (I’ve been registered Democrat for 30 years.) Turn the other cheek my ass. If a Vanity Fair editor cannot understand the art of comedy, he should probably start looking for a job at Mother Jones.
That vanity fair guy is a little bitch
If the only thing I heard from his interview were the 2 instances in which he said "b-word", that would be enough for me to be 100% sure I don't agree with a single word that came out of his mouth. Politically correct my ass, the word is BITCH, and it has nothing to do with men or women, it's genderless, and it's specifically designed to describe people who behave like Will and Jada did that night.
@@Buttercup697 Hahaha! I totally agree Valerie! As he was talking, I wanted to reach out over 6500 miles to turn his right cheek after I slap his left one! 😄
Fear to get sued = apologize
Where can i see video of full bit?
Why will he take the high road? He is a victim and needs to handle it the way he wants. Who are you to tell him how to handle his abuse?
He did take the high road he could've knocked the hell out of Will, had him arrested, sued him which he could still, we live in the real world!!
I was thinking the same thing
His comedy about it is the high road for him and he has every rights to do that.
in the special he says himself that he's not a victim
When you answer with the b-word, you lose the argument. Mental abuse is far worse than physical. Any Pysch will tell you this. Rock has his own past to deal with concerning marriages. To him, cheating is no big deal.
People get roasted at the Oscars. And Chris has the right to let his feelings about the situation out. He was slapped on the public stage and he can also fight back with his words on a public stage. It's unfair that Will is shown so much grace when Chris was assaulted and didn't even press charges
Agreed!
The amount of slaps Ricky Gervais would get if Will Smith's slap was universally justified.
Yeah, the boob song.
Exactly
but how much 'grace' is will getting? The ratings for Chris' special were sky-high, which shows where the public sentiment is in regards to what happened.
I love watching Will laugh his ass off before his wife reminded him he was supposed to be butthurt.
"For every action, there's an opposite & equal reaction"
Don't dare call this man vindictive. Imagine being slapped in front of your kids on live television, or imagine your own father being slapped on live television in front of you, would you call him vindictive? Dont you dare.
He did take the high road he didn't hit him back! and he waited an entire year to talk about it! I think he executed it brilliantly!! Amazing man and funniest stand up show I've watched in years! So refreshing!!
Light-skinned people feeling superior but nothing feels better than $20m
I know people who would have waited outside for him!! You don't make a human your laughing stock! No way! More slaps needed
@@theresepierre5993 You must associate with dirtbags, then. He's a comedian who did his job, and the joke to Jada was very mild. Have you never seen an awards show or celebrity roast? The only thing that was unacceptable was the assault. Grown people don't answer words with assault.
And then another year and another year and another year then another yrar til it get as old as the G.I Jone joke but who cares cause he's a comedian.
@@SuperDenizen Wow, so you have a crystal ball to read the future? 🙄
Some people are saying Chris Rock should "move on, it's been a year " 1) Chris handled the hard hard slap like a true professional. "The show must go on" attitude.
I think it's great that Chris waited so he could really process his feelings instead of publicly respond days after the slap heard around the world. After a year, Chris is telling it as he really feels and on a platform he wanted. This has tarnished Will and given Chris' career a boost.
Notice ABC did not say one word about Jada giving Will the stink eye. Will thought the joke was funny HE LAUGHED. Toxic Jada.
The bully hates chris
Move on when Netflix dropped a hot deal. Ma guy I’m pouring the entire feeling for that compensation
No one wondered if he would forgive or forget. As if!! None of us can do that either!
Rock is an incredible man and showed the world exactly who he is - spontaneous and on the fly. His true self.
Wow!!!!!!!
Chris Rock, one of the GOAT Watchin you forever... Great Standup
Chris Rock already took the high road by not punching Will back when Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars for a lame joke that Will initially laughed until he saw his wife didn't like it. Chris didn't file a civil and criminal case against Will after the incident. He could easily demand Oscars to retract Will's award. And, he could easily have earned the same amount of money what he earned from Netflix by suing Will for damages. But, Chris, didn't. That's a fact. The woke whom they interviewed on this video, I believed have never been humiliated before by a good friend that's watched globally. Let's see if he can still take the high road he is talking about. Moreover, Will's apologies are all done insincerely and during the times he is promoting his projects. At any rate, for me, Chris wants this closure at his own terms and turf and he has the right to do so. And, good for him that he even earn 20M for it. A sweet and smart revenge.
40 Million
You summed it up perfectly !!! Mike drop!
Perfect
@@tamarawilliams1197 That's for 2 shows for 20M each. He still owe Netflix 1 show.
Yes! Totally agree. Just said this on another comment.
This commentator does not understand humor. These jokes are jokes nobody's off limits, nobody's special everybody gets picked on
The amount of absolute misnomers from a journalist is a good joke. Moronic mainstream media
People can’t take a fucking joke
Not to mention making fun of a woman's appearance is sexist but making fun of a man's isnt?
@@spinlok3943 Chris Rock can compare me to Demi Moore any day of the week
Does that mean it's OK to make a joke about someone that has lost a leg? I hope not. I believe Chris Rock did not know the hair was a loss, but thought it was a choice. It would have been nice to see these two men with a mediator & have an opportunity to apologize to each other.
Just remember, Chris was just the messenger, what’s the old saying “don’t kill the messenger”. he never wrote the joke at the Oscar in the first place, But every joke that came after was how a true comic retaliates.
If you understand comedy, then you understand why he can’t just bend over backwards.
To become great at comedy you have to throw yourself into the fire multiple times. Chris is not a great comedian, he is a legendary comedian. Mastered the fire and pushing the boundaries. Nobody cares about your high road you wish Chris took, when he had to build his road from dirt without your help. So many worst things chris could have done to will and jada but he just said a joke then a couple more. Stop acting like he committed a crime for having freedom of speech, when the real criminal is the one that assaulted him but because he’s famous and Chris has a good heart he’s not behind bars.
THINK FOR YOURSELF
You hit me I'm gonna crush you on that stage in a professional comedic way to take back my manhood, my power, and respect like Chris Rock. He did right to reclaim his power. Will and Jada gave comedians and non-comedians material to talk about them for a good while. Never air your business on the internet.
“I feel like it was a little vindictive”
Bro he got smack on live television, on the Oscar’s, I would be mad too
Mad is not the feeling...humiliated, hurt, embarrassed, degraded in PUBLIC....that feeling will last a lifetime, people get over being mad, they never get over being publicly humiliated...school shootings are the result of kids being bullied and publicly humiliated...Chris Rock only used words to express his hurt...
Exactly !!
Who's that high road douchebag?
he got smacked for absolutely no reason huh, nothing has consequences on the oscars huh
People who think that Chris should have turned the other cheek after being publicly assaulted, make me sick. Like Chris said, selective outrage. Revenge is lovely.
...and it is a dish best served cold, and should be served if it is asked for.
Forgiveness is the best revenge. That's lovely.
That GI Jane joke was epic!!! 😂 I'm happy for Chris's success!!
When an attacker gets a standing ovation instead of an assault charge the victim gets to say what he pleases.
From the commercial and career standpoint this was the best thing to happen to him. Make Money and Prosper Chris Rock.
Not all his hard work and how he applied his talent? But Will Smith smacking him is the best thing to happen to him?
Talk about insensitivity!
I absolutely love that Chris rock is being a comedian and making fun of things. It’s about time we got back to that it’s supposed to be funny.😂
He could have said this at the Oscars this year, but he chose to do it during a comedy venue. He had the right to say what he needed to. Now they can both out it to test.
@@annemccarron2281 he is not going to be at the Oscars.🙄
9:30 Chris didn’t lose anything. He came out on top. He knocked Smith out figuratively speaking.
The interviewer was like “Too much? Not enough honey”… 👀
That guy that said he watch the show can say whatever he want, but you can’t expect someone to get hit and do nothing. Chris did take the high road he didn’t hit Will Smith back.
THANK YOU!!! Chris stood there, took that slap and didn't speak about it again until HE chose to. High road taken. That guy being interviewed needs to go ahead and dismount that high horse he's riding. 🙄
His parents raised him well. You can hear pain from CR's voice. It is not about the pain of the slap but the hurt when someone you adore hurt you
Never meet your idols.
He can’t be mad he knew everybody hates Chris
@@Mrzayskates everybody hates smith
That s why he called a man wife s bitch
If his parents raised him right hr wouldn't mock a women with a hair health issue
Chris is a Master at his craft. One of the Greatest and realist comedian from time
My Dad RIP he passed in his 90s had no hatred for blacks but being white all those years and not having African American neighbors and friends would sometimes say stuff …but there’s a cool part to all of this. He thought Chris Rock was the greatest, the funniest and he admired him. I miss my dad so much and wish he was able to witness how well Rock handled all of this. It would have made him happy.

@@rebeccarambo2893 "Alopecia Jada" is a public figure, and a snotty one who deserved to be knocked down a peg!
@@rebeccarambo2893 You can be offended by a joke and you can use words to respond. Will Smith is a mega star (or was) and had a massive platform he could have used to hit back-with words. He chose violence which is completely unacceptable and disproportionate
Will and Jada gave Chris material. He should use it and he did. Good job Chris! Bring back stand up.
Given what Smith did, Rock showed incredible restraint. That dude in the vest focusing on Rock's use of "the B word" misses the point entirely. That smack was traumatic, not just for Chris but for all of us watching it. Chris's response was cathartic and healing. Focusing on language and tone at a time like this is petty and ridiculous and, as Chris would put it, a b*tch-@ss move 🙄
Dude did Selective Criticism!!!😅😂on a show about Selective Outrage
@@shyredwall What's your point? (so that I don't misunderstand it).
@@rigelb9025 the guy in the vest,sounds like he don’t understand Selective Outrage
@@shyredwall Ok, then yes I agree with you.
The best reply by Will Smith if he wants to win people’s respect again..”CR deserved to write that joke and slap me with it after how i humiliated him. I just hope we can both finally let go” …
Now we'll know if Will's apology was genuine.
If he'd truly felt guilty, then he'd accept what came back to him.
Chris expresses himself thru comedy stand up just like will expresses himself thru violence
A Slap is violence????????
@@longlivedagoat3109 it is. Will was violent and is his wife puppet.
That part!
@@longlivedagoat3109 Words aren't violence
Chris Rock making lemonade 😂
Chris Rock is the man! Will lol had that roast coming!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's said don't come out at intermission if you have something to say. Having this appear just 1 week before the Oscars was due to air was timely.
This brilliant guy made millions out of his pain. Well done sir!!!
Sad 😢 but true ❤️
He should had sue Will an make more.
@@roselandebazelais8236 True but it caused him more millions💯
The two black guys being interviewed in this that are hating on Chris are so delusional. Jada is messed up mentally and so is Will. Nobody talks about black on black crime. If a white guy slapped Chris he would have been shoved out the door and thrown in jail. Instead Will got to stay and accept an award. Sickening. Cheers to Chris Rock.
those jokes were wack.. waited a year for those wack ass jokes
You know this Clayton Davis guy has probably never been attacked hit by another human being. Getting Slap at is the worse humiliation you can get i rather get punched than get slapped. In the old days getting slap means being belittled by another human being and getting slapped at stage infront of millions of viewers cant get any worse than that
In today's world, too!
The only thing worse than a slap in the face is getting spit on.
Anyone else felt like slapping Clayton Davis?
Being attacked physically messes with your head. Especially if it is someone you trust and idolize. The smiths are toxic whores who air their laundry in public then get mad about it when people comment on it.
Will should of shot back with words not hands. Thats where he went wrong.
I took that hit like Pacquiao = well dang Chris 🤣🤣🤣
I think the combination of how terrible it made Will and Jada look and how much it set them back is almost justice enough one slap in front of the world really can be that detrimental it was a ridiculous lapse of judgement at the worst time and place to do it, had he saved it for the Source Awards he might have got away with it
So basically, Chris Rock did a helluva good job
Chris was hurt emotionally since the incident .... and he let the world know how hurt he was.
He never thought about the other people's feeling that he hurt with his senseless comedy. Except that he is not funny.
Have a taste of your own medicine.
My man Rock laughing all the way to the bank
That one guy was the physical manifestation of the word "beta male"
"Chris is not ready to talk but when he is he will reach out"
Chris Rock reached out alright 🤣🤣🤣
😅 he sure did LOL
Netflix should have paid Chris $100M!!! I love you Chris Rock ❤
Did Will Smith actually expect Chris Rock to keep quiet and cower in the corner?
Chris Rock has the right to say what ever he wants to he's the one who got slapped and this guy here Mr Goody Goody let's see if it was vice versa what he would do Chris Rock is so hilarious 😂 I love him
The title of his stand up was spot on. The fact people are still picking when to be angry, genius. The men being interviewed are terrible, it’s easy to say ‘turn the other cheek’ when you are not the victim of assault’.
Will is full of himself, and still is. How do you get mad because someone won’t accept your apology when YOU want to give it?? That man is permanently embarrassed for the rest of his life and the fact Will still plays victim is beyond me.
All of THIS!!!!
YES full of sheet as he still has NOT said he IS a SORRY arse-beach. He needs to own-up and tell Chris Rock, "I'm sorry Chris and yes I'm leaving da CONTROL-FEAK-beach."
The crying and constant pity party in order to get accepted in the business again... it's so fake and ridiculous. And I used to like his 90s 00s movies so much.
I've noticed, all of the people who seem to agree with Chris Rock and liked his comedy special are white people. They love to see us fighting each other. On the other hand, I do think Chris had the right to do whatever he felt in response, Will made a choice, and even if you are regretful and apologetic, you still have to deal with everything that comes along with that choice. Lastly, I hate that everybody is holding this against Will Smith, cuz I'll bet you if Jada would have slapped Chris Rock, it would have became a "women empowerment" thing and she would have been praised and not punished.
@@MiamiBlossom bad take, im black and i thought it was great, and he didnt lie once, its not a race issue
I love Chris's patience and he said nothing that wasn't already out there. I disagree that the GI Jane joke was below the belt, it was supposed to be a compliment but clearly JPS did not take it like that! Demi Moore was absolutely beautiful with that look! Chris had EVERY right to fight back but he took his time and used words instead of physical violence!
Chris Rock has always been a comedian who told it like it was.Thats why he's so funny we can all relate to him. Keep bei ng you n don't ever change !
Chris Rock took the higher road for more than a year.
He felt it was finally time to let it loose.
I’m tired of the damn Smiths!! I’m glad Chris got to speak his mind! Dude is hilarious!!! 😂😂
He can’t be mad he knew everybody hates Chris
Jada is the one who needs the slap.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Kindergarten teachers that, or at least they used to.
Chris made (very profitable) lemonade from those lemons Will served him. That last commentator said it best...let's see if Will can take it on the chin as well as Chris did.
You don't just get up and slap somebody at such an event. Smith must have had a few minutes to consider what he was about to do. Then he gave himself permission to go ahead and slap the host of the Oscars. He knew the enormity of what he was about to do. His ego was colossal and unstoppable.
These guys criticizing Chris CANNOT be serious, smh
HE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MAKING FUN OF SOMEONE AND HE WAS
I HOPE SO AGAIN
How will feel if I call u mom, daughter wife and sister a bitch. I hope his parents who raised him right can tell him to stop beautiful black women a bitch. He embarrassed his parents on stage dude.!
Who was that beta B*tch boy?? LOL Chris Rock is the Man
Professional victims 😂😂
Don't buy Variety magazines unless you want to support this nonsense. Honestly, pay attention to the stupid people saying stupid things and stop giving them your money. Gillette, acting like men are toxic. Alright, so no more money for you. Hersheys chocolate putting trans women on their bar for international womens day. Buy something else. Honestly, as long as people fuel this nonsense, it will never stop.
Honestly I think the only reason everyone was not okay with it was because of how tame the joke was. Knowing our societies penchant for canceling, I figured if he told something more on the line then people would’ve been cheering for will. I mean hell Will even got a standing ovation at the Oscar he assaulted someone. You imagine how small Chris must’ve felt when Will was getting all that applause?
Yeah I've had alopecia since I was 14. And despite my lack of millions, I would never have the nerve to play victim on the world stage.
The thing about Chris Rock , even after getting slapped in front of audiences and publicly in tv, he kept on continuing the show professionally and without making any further ruckus. We should show some respect to that. And if he wants to make joke and money out of it , that's his choice because we don't know how he cope with that humiliation . We are not in his shoes
Right !!! Chris Rock held it together. Totally professional.
What cracks me up is they are the ones that have been talking about it for an entire year and Chris kept quite. Now his sweet karma is unleaded and they say he is obsessed. They are two clowns!! Love you Chris!!!!
He can’t be mad he knew everybody hates Chris
@@feliciawalker517 stop reading them every time smooth brain
Not sure the role Will played to win an Oscar, but he played so many other roles to win. I hope this wasn't his first Oscar, Will's a brilliant actor in my opinion.
I blame Jada Pinkett for that
