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

[epilogue]

For those of you that think Chris Rock was in the wrong and shouldn't have made the joke, is it because of the venue? Or is it because you think offensive jokes like that are out of line, even in the world of stand up comedy? Like, would you be ok with him making that joke if the Smith's were at one of his shows in a comedy club?

Yeah the venue is irrelevant.

Oh man, what is wrong with you guys? Ricky Gervais is awesome. I think Dave Chappelle is the best of our time, but Ricky is up there. And both would have made a more clever joke that would probably have been much worse. Not sure what Ricky would do, but it'd be interesting to see Chappelle's reaction if Smith went at him.

Does this mean your view on stand up comedy as a whole is in need of an overhaul, then? Like, comedians shouldn't make any offensive jokes towards people any more? I feel like this is at least 50% of stand up comedy, just wondering where it goes from here.

[E.H. Ruddock]

meant to say "our" view of stand up comedy.

[Mickey]

Sometimes he’s funny, sometimes he’s not, but I’m never offended by him

What if he made a joke about middle class white guys with no significant disabilities or problems?

Why would this affect tree_?

Honestly I don't really like standup comedy in general but my dislike of Ricky Gervais goes beyond that -- I've actually never seen him do standup, I just find him extremely irritating

Gallagher and only Gallagher. Smashed watermelons. Thats it.

[Jorge]

I feel like I should be adding "Remember: I am team anti-slap" at the bottom of every post I make here

[Strat]

But you dont like standup! not sure whats worse!

Throw some Jeff Foxworthy in there too. Laughs for the entire family!

Will Smith would have never tried to slap Chappelle because Chappelle is not a small guy like Chris Rock

[bodysnatcher]

Imagine if Verne Troyer had made that joke

[tree_]

I wonder who else Will Smith has slapped in the past, to defend his wife's honour or otherwise.

[bodysnatcher]

When he was a guest on Oprah, he attacked that guy in the crowd for making fun of his mom

[bodysnatcher]

Oh wait that was Fresh Prince.

[Anders]

How about Stephen Merchant?

Yeah the venue is irrelevant.

What if the audience in the comedy club all signed an agreement that all is fair game?

[spike]

We hit 100 we can stop now.

No we must keep Mrs Harmless contained within.

do you think you might be ready to stop laughing at me at some point soon?

You’re right. It’s time to move on from this silly incident.

His whole schtick is making fun of rednecks!

white people have no feelings.. our power engulfs our being with an eternal defensive force field no words can possibly penetrate
