Now we’re getting somewhere. Committing physical violence over hurt feelings is unacceptable behavior.

Especially when the hurt feelings are because of an intended compliment

This whole incident has gained a LOT of traction.
All because someone said something that maybe he shouldn't have and then got Nate Diaz'd

The worst part about the whole thing was the joke. Not because it was offensive. It was just lame. And it wasn’t even a timely reference. Just hack work by a guy who once long ago put out one of my top 10 stand-up specials by anyone.

I've been wondering if Chris even wrote the joke himself. These bits are often worked on by a team of writers, but it also gave the feeling that he was just casually riffing

I love his impish giggle when Will approaches him, he really thinks they're about to do an improv bit, it's hilarious

The joke was bad. But it wasn’t worse than the slap.
