Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

[jimbopm]

For those arguing that Will Smith defended his Wife. How many more people are now going to have seen the original joke because of Will's actions? How many more people are going to learn about their relationship issues and her extra marital affairs because of Will's actions?

He's just opened the entire family to 100 times more ridicule and embarrassment. So yeah short term he might have thought he was doing the right thing, but surely now everyone can see he's just completely fucked up.

You're not far behind me Big Joe.

The gap gets larger every year : )

It doesn't take guts to resort to violence in the face of verbal insults, quite the opposite.

People that resort to violence when confronted are as weak as piss.

if it was a pre rehearsed barb to put on a show at a show to honour how much ego they have all well and good it failed miserably and his stupidity continued to confirm he meant the slap and told the world what a self centred numpty he is.
his speech was unhinged and IMO he needs professional help and he can afford the best for sure and certain.

Good.
Then I read the jokes thread post :)

It’s a different type of print so it’s a valid separate joke

Yep. Will Smith rose to stardom in comedy shows and films. He must have been able to come up with a good comeback line in his speech where he would have for sure won against Rock more than he has now just resorting to violence.

Nothing quite like amateur psychologists delivering their assessments in a kangaroo court.

Will Smith hasn’t been funny for years
Him and his wife are fake and full of shit
Everyone knows it

I'm not sure he'll write much of his own dialogue in those shows and films to be fair.

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

I'm not sure he'll write much of his own dialogue and the danger is even if he did he'd get into a spat with someone way better experienced at comebacks.

Maybe true. Well he could have just called him out instead and said "I know your job is to make jokes about us tonight but joking about my wife's illness is not OK and you've crossed a line" and then got on with his acceptance speech. That would have been far more powerful and put all the spotlight on Chris Rock rather than himself.
