69MeDon Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I have had an absolutley awful weekend. Seeing Hollywood actors work themselves into a shoot is just the balm I needed, brotherjackdude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making jokes about somebody's physical appearance is the height of cuntery, even more so when it's due to a medical condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted March 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2022 The location and relationship between the act and the audience also plays into it in my opinion, if people have paid to see Chris Rock at a gig they are (or should) all be going with the exception of him possibly taking the piss and all the audience being fair game for being butt of a joke, but this isn't a comedy club and they weren't there to see him. Doesn't excuse either side, it was a shit joke first (unless we quantum leaped back to 98) and not really in good taste either, but you would expect people to handle it better than that still.

Keith Houchen Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 There’s some real hyper masculinity around this. It’s not like on Buzzcocks when Amstell was taking the piss out of someone’s wife who wasn’t there, Chris Rock said it directly to her and Will Smith laughed. Then he got all Johnny Concrete when he saw she didn’t find it funny to try and claim back some masculinity after getting cucked for years. Don’t worry little lady, I’ll take care of this regardless of if you want me to or not. It was a shit joke. It was made during a traditional playful jibes at the stars monologue but wasn’t playful. It was more suited to those awful comedy roast things. For me, Will Smith is the bigger arsehole, Clive. I’ve seen a few people saying Rock was mocking her disability. Is alopecia a disability? When did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a cunt doesn't excuse physical assault, I'm surprised to see people victim blaming like that. Attacking a comedian or indeed any performer onstage, is not on no matter what they've said. in fact, assaulting someone is not on in any circumstance. Real life isn't WWE.

Chili Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Shit jokes are shit jokes but you don't just deck someone. You CAN if you insist, but probably not say during The Oscars. It's on Jim West for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 There’s also the racial element to consider. There’s a lot of chatter about deserving a slap for what he said but you just know if someone had done this to Gervais, the same people would be all “Ooh snowflakes can’t take a joke, it’s just a joke”. But when an uppity black man makes a joke, he deserves to be taken down a peg or two. Even if that slap came from the whitest black man in showbiz.

Factotum Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Did Rock know about Jada's alopecia? I had no idea myself. Maybe he should have been more aware, but he kinda just seemed to say it on the fly not like he was planning it. It wasn't a very good joke, but it also was hardly the most insulting thing anyone has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
