Team Rock or Team Jiggy?

I'm Team Rock. It's not his job to keep up on every celebs medical condition. He's a comedian, so far as I am concerned the best alive on the planet.

Do a gender reversal and substitute, say Kurt Russell in his prime, and the joke is just that.

Also, I am pleased this is the number one story above Covid, climate shange, Ukraine etc... lol

I have not yet formed an opinion about it.  But since this is the internet and well formed opinions are completely optional and meaningless, I'll just say that I don't condone violence.

I'm team both. Though I don't think Smith should have ever walked on stage.

I think it hinges on if Rock knew about Jada's condition.

A lot of the time it's assumed that comedians are omniscient. Sometimes they make a bad joke because they simply aren't aware of specific circumstances or politics.

If Rock knew, he's definitely in the wrong.

No way he knew. Again, it's a bald joke even if he did know. Society is absolutely unsympathetic about male baldness, I hear the jokes everyday (about a guy I work with -- I have hair like Fabio).

There's not enough condoning of violence these days. He should have scalped Chris Rock to teach him about baldness.

The joke was very off the cuff. Plus, for most of her career she has had very short, close cropped hair. Not quite bald but shave down. so yeah I doubt Chris Rock knew ahead of time.

At any rate, Will and Jada are kind of messed up people these days. I blame scientology.

I agree.  Smith took it too far, I believe.

Team Rock.

Always thought that Wil Smith was overrated and he seems to come across as someone who is a bit too full of themselves.

Celebs. The less I know about them IRL the better.

The condition is irrelevant. The "joke" without a medical condition is "Your hair looks stupid". That's not a joke; that's bullying. Smith slapping him was toxic masculinity weaponized for good. Besides, Chris Rock already had it coming for ruining Fargo.

I'll add one last thought on this just to put some stuff in perspective. That's a room full of people that pretty much knew what Harvey Weinstein was doing for 20 years. Can you really blame Chris Rock for thinking that there weren't a whole lot of limits on what you can get away with there?

Did you know that Rob Schneider pays migrant workers to pee on him in the shower? That's true.

That actually sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before. LOL

It's a family Guy joke. But I'll be damned if it doesn't sound like it could be true.

Yeah it is indeed choke. He hires migrant workers at Home Depot to choke him in the shower.
