He also launched a series of yuks about how it’s been a “bad year from my people, Blacks.” He brought up Kamala Harris’ loss in the polls, but he also took issue with how Jake Paul pummeled Mike Tyson on Netflix.

“A 27 year old punching a 60-year-old man? Is this what the white man has reduced himself to? Who’s he gonna fight next, Morgan Freeman? I hate Jake Paul. I hate him like cocaine hates monogamy.”

Rock also took a few swings at President-elect Donald Trump by saying “it could happen to a nicer guy.” But then he suggested Trump hasn’t been the only bad actor in the White House.

“Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. We’ve had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I’m just talking about Bill Clinton. I mean, you know what country we live in. You know the history of this country. You know how many rapists are in my wallet right now? A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists.”

He also said that Trump is going to start the deportations while working with the “number one African American in the world, the richest African American in the world, Elon Musk.” Musk is from South Africa.

“That’s right, he is African American,” continued Rock. “Elon’s got more kids than the Cleveland Browns. Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African.”

That last one earned groans from the audience.

The Menendez Brothers also were referenced for possibly getting out of prison “just in time to get deported” by Trump.
