I could not stop laughing after reading Rock's joke from 2016 LOL !!!! thanks for sharing, hilarious jokes from Rock.
Shots Fired in 2016
After Pinkett Smith boycotted the 2016 Oscars ceremony for its lack of diversity, that year’s host, Rock, suggested in his opening monologue that the actress wasn’t even invited to the show in the first place. “Jada went mad,” he began. “Jada says she’s not coming. Protesting.” Then he quipped, “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”
Rock went on to poke fun at Smith, who many had pegged as a lock to be nominated that year for his work in Concussion. “Jada’s mad her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it,” Rock said. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West.”
Yep. Those jokes were funny.
shareRock also mocked Will's Nigerian accent in Concussion.
shareSo clearly the dig he made was personal. Which kind of makes it worse. But Will, for his own sake, shouldn't have hit him at the Oscars.
The issue is by mocking someone's disorder you are mocking everyone who has that disorder. But he is a comedian and they have been doing this for centuries. And yes, most of his jokes are funny despite being wrong. That is what standup is. You either love it or hate it. Don Rickles was always out of line and people loved him.
Shaving your head is a disorder?
sharewhen you re in Hollywood and make 50 million a year it's kind of part of the game that once in a while someone might make fun of you....
Look at the Golden Globes with Ricky Gervais he went all out on the super celebrities.
