Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

[Ms Harmless]

"Chris Rock didn't have that much time" is totally irrelevant; she's good at it (and quick, pick any "on the fly" comment she makes, it's funny), he isn't

I didn't say it wasn't common, I said I hated it

I am saying contextually they don’t compare. Why bring that stand up act in this thread then? There’s a whole other thread specifically for that.

harmless, have you actually ever watched chris rock standups? Curious.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

You’re posting this in the wrong thread, playa

because I wanted to and because I think they do compare for reasons I've explained?

wait im not getting involved again!!!!

nope, but again, that's irrelevant

I'm saying "he did something badly (in my opinion), here's how you do that well (in my opinion)"

it's simple

Not in the context of the setting, purpose, etc…Oscars presentation isn’t remotely similar other than a joke is made. Heck non-comedians make jokes when presenting.

it's OK there's nothing to get involved with, I simply made a post with a thought on it

The only equivalent would be a clip from another awards type ceremony in which it’s done differently than Rock’s.

so? "attempting to work / involve a crowd" is the point of comparison; I'm saying most people shouldn't bother trying

there's nothing in what Chris Rock did that's inherent to celebrity award shows other than presenting an award, and I'm not critiquing that

[Ms Harmless]

there are several points of comparison one could make and you're picking a different one to mine and saying mine is "wrong"

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Any way the mods could send this thread to the same folder GD wound up in?

Not until 200

[Ms Harmless]

we need to keep going, we haven't reached the objectively true take yet

No they’re all wrong.

[Ms Harmless]
