Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

it’s a minor incident in the grand scheme of things and Monday seemed a bit insane with how big it got, but I’m intrigued to see where the dust settles and if careers or comedians or award ceremonies In general will be effected.

It's a minor incident in the sense that it's just one bloke slapping another. But in terms of the context, it's basically like a footballer slapping the referee in the World Cup final. I mean how much did Zidane's headbutt get talked about?

Perhaps Materazzi made fun of Zidane’s alopecia and he shouldn’t have been sent off after all.

I found the joke tasteless and horrible

but. I do understand that presenting the awards nowadays as a comedian you need to be controversial and push the line. You can’t blame him for that joke.

I didn't find the joke tastless or horrible, or particularly funny. But the way Smith reacted wasn't really appropriate given the situation. He should have sparked him or sat there and laughed.
The fact that he started shouting at him after he realised he'd had one chance and fucked it up by attempting a playground slap says it all really.
He's a big fella, he should of knocked him out if he was so concerned about his missus being offended.
Instead of which he decided to audition for pantomime.
He's a loudmouth prick.

Adrenaline had kicked in by then, hence the repeating of what he said. He did laugh, but he saw his wife was seething. He was digging himself out of the shit with her by doing it after she gave him daggers by the eyes. Prick is right. He was a massive prick. The other fella was too, this isn't to apportion blame one way or another, but he was only being a fanny by reacting to his wife's hump, with him. If every bloke did that there would be people slapping each other left right and centre.
 
I always wanted to slap someone across the face like the old mafia guys would do.
A big, open handed, bitch slap that sends the guy to the floor tremblin and a grovellin.
In reality though he would just say, "what the fuck" and knock me out.

Rock pre-empted the joke by expressing his love for her. This is quite concerning, frankie Boyle would have to do a three hour apologies show before his main gig.
Agree with what you say though.
Makes me wonder where comedy is going, or forced to be going.

Does Frankie Boyle get booked for award ceremonies?

If the oscars are going to roasts why not just pick the nominated actors and make fun of them and their performances?

It's just weird isn't, Chris Rock and the female comedians making jokes about the Smith's personal lives and Jada getting most of the brunt of it. And Rebel Wilson's boyfriends joke at the baftas.

Does anyone really watch the Oscars for comedy anyway?
