The think the problem is his wife completely humiliated him by sitting him down in front of the world and lecturing him on why she slept with his sons friend!

A man's reputation can take a lifetime to make and seconds to destroy - Arnold Rothstein

She gave him that “Tupac wouldn’t let him get away with that” look.

How totally alone in a crowded room was Chris Rock in that moment? Absolutely no one- not ONE person in that entire room tried to intervene in any way at all. F*ckin awful. I work as a nurse and have been assaulted by patients on two occasions and both times colleagues and other patients stepped in to protect me.

The most the media has ever cared about black on black crime.

thinking back to that slap, it is pretty insane that everybody just allowed that to happen and then literally cheered for Will when he got his award - that is crazy

That moment Chris Rock started to say something then stopped and carried on with the show... that's the pause and moment of clarity that Will Smith should have had, but didn't.

The entire family died in that moment. The punk kid saying "That's how we roll"! How you rollin now PUNK!

When he said "boy I could...." We all thought it. Why are you worried about what's coming out of my mouth about your wife instead of what's going in hers

Why wasn't he charged? A normal person that laid a finger on someone in an argument would be charged with assault if even a single person saw it. The whole world watched Will assault Chris live on tv.

CORRECTION: David Spade is the least intimidating guy to hold a mic, not Chris

I know he is just a celebrity but I cannot look at him the same way now, Like I was turned Off forever 😂😂😂

Chris Rock did everything right. He let his fans/family eat Willy's lunch and came back even stronger as a comic. It made me more of a fan when I already loved the guy. Not so much with Prince Willy and his wife Pinky Thin-Skin.

If you think about it, the G.I Jane joke could have been an alley Opp/opportunity for her to actually do G.I Jane 2 or something.

Gotta love the irony of watermark on stolen videos lmao

6:08 yes! No one has pointed that out. He was about to rip it up

Will Smith lost points with me after that slap.

The CGI sucks almost as much as Will Smith.

The fact that they allowed Will to give his speech without an apology blew my mind. He didn’t even deserve to win an Oscar for that role. Will had all the chance in the world to address how wrong he was and couldn’t. Dude even complained when Netflix gave Chris rock his own special after.

Chris Rock handled this the best it could be handled in the situation. he was in a mild state of shock And yet his pro-stand up comedian reflexes and instincts kicked in and he did a great job of protecting the integrity of the show by making light of the situation. And then... he served that revenge cold! And the final line of his Netflix special magnificently explained why he didn't do anything back. Watch it if you haven't seen it.

In the future we can watch the Will Smith movie's again without Will Smith. That is good news.

The best thing to come out of that whole fiasco was watching a professional comic keep his ego in check, his composure intact, and move the show forward. I don't care about the Oscars, but I am still impressed with how Rock made it happen despite being egregiously embarrassed in front of the entire planet.

Glad to see they are keeping up with current events

To stay committed to the 'girl who no-one wants to invite on a night out' is a wild level of loyalty. He'd get decimated in the divorce though and get dragged through the media non-stop for 15 months.

Chris honestly should have said “so THATS where you draw the line?”

Best thing would have been "it's only April, imagine how mad he gets when August comes"

Crazy you'd think there'd be security to keep people from just walking up on stage lol

It’s nice Joe Rogan had Aziz Ansari on 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

When is will Smith v Jake Paul fight scheduled?

If ever anyone ever doubted that Hollywood royalty are essentially a bunch of spineless sheep , just watch the Oscar ceremony immediately after the Slap, standing ovations and tears for an abusive bully followed by whiny speeches then when the masses through the looking glass i.e. everyone else not in that room basically is sickened by their behaviour they go but of course that was so wrong. Props to Chris Rock though letting the guilty parties wriggle in their discomfort he played that as smoothly as any of his great set pieces.

Plot twist Joe gives Rock jujitsu training the scene repeats and the rock chocks will out 😂

Chris Handled It Amazingly !!!

After the slap and finding out some more about his dynamics with Jada...I have zero interest in watching him in anything again. Zero. btw - really like the outro music 🤘

will was laughing at first and saw her side-eye and did it

Will had a spotless career and it all went down really fast, big will was limp willy all along

Love this guy on parks and rec.

Jim Carry told Chris to sue will smith for 400 million dollars. I think he should have also sued the Oscars for a 1 billion dollars for not taking any action like calling the cops and escorting him out the building.

It's hard to think in the moment..I think Chris buckled down and tryed to carry on the best he could.

What's the music at the end of this clip? I really like it.

His reputation wasn’t destroyed with the slap lol. Jada has been systematically destroying for the past few years. I lost all respect for Will a long time ago. The slap was him going over the edge. She’s made this man a eunuch

He was a comedy action hero in movies and could just laugh like he never delivered a bad joke.

2:57 😂😂😂

thats why power slap ufc was invented

Unacceptable. Uncle Phil would have been so disappointed.

I love that Movie.. Easy Joe. Step off man.!

The focus should be on how well Chris Rock handles the situation. Not many people could keep their composure and keep the event on track after something like that happens.

The only thing to feel sorry about Will for is being in a cucked relationship, his “wife” has openly embarrassed him multiple times, then him slapping Chris Rock was like his Stockholm Syndrome moment by defending what essentially is his abuser. Hollywood was fine with it because they like the idea of “words = violence” in political terms, it’s considered ok to assault someone if they hurt your feelings.

Oh thank the heavens. I'd been holding my breath for over two years to hear Akash's take of the Chris Rock slap

Bad Boys 4 out soon😁😄

Keeping it relevant

Dude 😂 that shit was hard back then

When Will said, “Keep my wife’s name out yo fucking mouth!” He should’ve said, “I will, Will.”

All Jada needed to do was flex her biceps and point at her muscles and smile… that would’ve been it.

Will Smith slapped another $20 million into Chris Rock's bank account.

Love Akash on the pod

haha, he said "Us celebrities"

Bring slapping back I love the old school slap when they take off the glove and slap em with the glove

If Joe went to summit racing equipment in Texas he'd be in Hot Rod muscle car heaven. Love hearing him fan girl over cars

Will wouldn’t have slapped Joe like that, Will would be put asleep real quick 😂

The reason they have the lion scene is because wills character sees a cub and sees the female and male lion couple. He misses his family

Dude. Nobody in the audience thought it was real.

It really showed how shallow Hollywood is.

Will Smith won an Oscar and managed to walk away the biggest loser

Will meant a lot to me as a kid. Although I was disappointed, it doesn’t change anything, and I still think he’s a great actor and person. Everyone fcks up sometimes.

I'm 33 now... will Smith was legit my childhood and teenage years of TV and movies ! After that public assault. I'll never support or watch anything he's in unfortunately. He should have been jailed like any other person. Should have been kicked out of Oscar's. But nope... so like I said I'll make sure not one penny goes to him and his owner Jada pinket the monster...

When my mom told me about the “slap” I thought she said Kid Rock. I laughed & said I wonder how long Will Smith will be in the hospital 😂

It seemed to me that they're so far away from each other relationship wise that he might of misread her and thought this could get me back in.

You don't even want to see After Earth Sad

Will was laughing originally if you look back, I wonder what happened in the small snapshot back to the Chris happened.

Akash the ultimate yes man

I can't wait for the day we'll know that the slap was a fake one.

The lions were supposed to be mutated looking

Wilma wouldn't do that to anybody else.

1:20 fr

Joe, what's the reason behind your shirt? Why this specific shirt? Not mocking, just curious.

Joe Rogan should host and talk about Jada

MMA fight between Will Smith and Joe Rogan

at that moment she brought the 2pac in him 😂

Look at the Dogman!

Will Smith showed us that as long as you have paid for the biggest award of the night, you can get away with anything.

Imagine Chris Rock being secretely a trained kickboxer and fucking Will up on stage

1:13 it looks almost as fake as his marriage

I think the most important thing folks overlook here is that this was the most costly slap in history. It cost Smith like hundreds of milions of dollars.

He should DEFINITELY sue

Rt Chris was supposed to stop the show and tell them he pressing charges. Obviously Will wasn't in his right mind 😂

Imagine Will trying that shit on Rogan. Would have gone very differently.

On the MONEY!! Hollywood is void of authenticity

More like the slap that ended what was left of Will Smith Pinkett’s career.

I thought the CGI in that movie was terrible.

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

I know what they’re saying about the I Am Legend scene with the lions but it didn’t look that bad as they’re saying

Whoever this guy is is definitely one of the comedians Katt Williams was talking about

Jada could NEVER play a GI Jane type character anyways - she’s awful

To this day i can’t believe Joe hasn’t broke the slap down after all the UFC slow downs he has seen. There is no slow mo of the point of impact-they make sure to show you right before and after. Will has a 60 pounds and height on Chris and a full wind up shot doesn’t move Chris’s feet 1 inch? C’Mon man this was staged for ratings. Nobody watches these things-then they sat around and came up with idea to have John Cena walk across stage naked. There’s always going to be something so they did “House wives” type of event/acting with Will and Rock. Seriously try and find a full length of the swing , then making contact,then follow thru, don’t let your brain trick you they have multiple cameras and angles on this and you’ll never see point of impact and actual slowed down point of impact and look at Chris’s body and feet after “hit” it doesn’t move from impact-just a little lean. C’mon man. C’mon Rogan UFC guy

Stop playing music at the end of the videos please

I still believe it was all an act to generate controversy and make the event more memorable. It all seemed too predictable, if it was organic the moment Will got off his chair, a number of scenarios could have played out. The reality is the hosts and organisers needed to do sth to reach Gervais level viral.

Chris Rock should have Bill Burr Philadelphiaed Will and the Oscars

Chris got slapped back into relevancy

I feel like people get too bent out of shape about the audience clapping for Will Smith. The celebs there didn’t know what the fuck to think or do, they were just as surprised and confused as anyone. It’s not they he audience was okay with will assaulting Chris.

The lions were well animated and modeled but the lighting and implementation were wrong. Programmers and modelers got it right, editors fucked it up.
