Oscars slap.

[draynay]

You were being made fun of for a dumb as shit take.

I didn't even give a take, you boobs.

[Shadowferal]

I feel as if I'm reading a script for an old Three Stooges short.

[Milchshake]

I didn't even give a take, you boobs.

I thought it was a sarcastic take on Whoopi, so I just riffed on that.

[downnola]

Not a good thing… but I’m sure most of us appreciate the memes that came from it.

There were some bangers on the first night but the internet managed to wear it out over the course of a day.

Best ones I've seen are either Jojo related or Eren using paths to tell Smith to smack Rock

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

So you’re saying the slap was a good thing?

I think it gave people something to talk about. I think next year people will watch in hopes for more crazy shit.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

I don't see how someone can support assault because a man is 'protecting his marriage'?!?!?!

[draynay]

I thought it was a sarcastic take on Whoopi, so I just riffed on that.

I'm not really familiar with what she says unless it involves downplaying the Holocaust. I complain about people being ignorant about the incident but I guess I'm ignorant regarding what people have said about it before.

I just think people are ignorant about what happened. Not just using "alleged" for what is definitely not "alleged" but also the ridiculousness of the legal proceedings where judges and lawyers put their own chance of fame ahead of justice. Maybe seeing it invoked for internet argument reasons just rankles me.

Thats the real take away from this. Will Smith assaulted a man in full view of millions and walked off scott free.

I think some of it is people with self esteem issues/fantasies about being a tough guy living vicariously through Smith's actions.

Maybe that's why Chris Rock refused to press charges.

He became an unwilling conservative superstar overnight for standing up for his wife and being a alpha male.

I sure never had, "Will Smith, conservative superstar" on my bingo card for 2022.

I never thought I'd see OJ comment on battery, but here we go lmfao

Weird that it's coming from the crowd who says that "you can't tell a joke these days without offending someone".




Sorry, I'll go make a scarecrow somewhere else with my strawman.

Has anyone checked in with Ja Rule yet? We haven't had a "complete take" until someone has run up Ja Rule.

Ideological or logical consistency has never been this crowds strong suit.

The event bothers me because nothing excuses violence, especially when it’s a little guy getting hit by a big guy who’s promoting toxic masculinity, but then said offender was able to get up and give a tearful speech to a massive ovation with millions watching after utterly ruining the giant effort put together to make a show where he won an award.

That teary speech deserves its own oscar. He was so remorseful and ashamed that he apologized to everyone except Rock. Photos of the after party showed Smith was pretty over it. Apologizing the next day only because he knew he's in shit.

I just wanna know the conversation his publicist had with him. That must have been pretty spicy.

"Will, what the fuck have you done. Do you realize how much harder you've made my job and how much more you're going to need to pay me for this shit?"

[Shadowferal]

Opinion polls are amusingly contradictory

[dextersmith]

No, you're putting words in other people's mouths. I've said, several times now, that Chris Rock has every right to press charges.

The fact is Chris Rock doesn't want to press charges. And if he doesn't feel the need to press charges...I don't see any reason for charges to be pressed.

He doesn't need to pursue charges for them to be pressed.

Ruin it?

Chris Rock, The Victim himself, said it was the greatest night in Television History.

Will Smith just put the Oscars back on the map.

He had to say something to diffuse the situation after that humiliation.

[Shadowferal]

Lapd disagrees.
