OT: Chris Rock just destroyed Will Smith on Netflix

Not until this thread. I listened to half of it, but it wasn’t funny so I stopped. No idea what the context was.
Speaking of comedy, I went to the Stress Factory for the first time in years last weekend. What a great club and an overall great experience heading into NB for dinner and a show. Definitely need to do it more often.
Overall I don't think that it was one of his better shows. The jokes about Jada were pretty funny though. Maybe I'm not hip enough but I didn't understand the final line about "my parents taught me not to fight in front of white people." It was a mic drop and the crowd went wild but I guess that I missed something.
Actually this would have been my initial response, bit didn’ want this to go off the rails immediately. i think there was also the assumption that he would be spouting out a one sided liberal views.
Its a joke about staying in good favor with white people. Just look at how Smith was cancelled…through selective outrage……
I like Joe Rogan as a podcast host a lot. And I’m not surprised that that’s where he made it big. Because his stand up has never been very funny to me. Too forced. I don’t think he’s in the same league as the best stand ups. Not even close. Without the podcast, he might still be playing clubs and looking for tv gigs. Good for him though. He’s definitely a hustler.
Agreed, I enjoy the podcast based on guests but his standup isn’t the greatest to me. His biggest impact on comedy is using his platform to amplify up and coming comics
I wasn't impressed with the clip. Good comedy comes with irony or sharp observations that other people can't immediately put into words but which they agree with when they hear it. He was basically just laying into Will Smith directly. It's completely understandable and deserved but not especially funny. Mean-spirited humor is blunt, good humor is sharp.
If it makes me laugh, it’s funny.
That my definition.

That Philly/South Jersey crowd was dogging the 💩💩💩 out of EVERY comedian that stepped on stage at the Tweeter Center that day. Let’s just say that Bill Burr called an audible for his set and the rest was history.
Chris and Chapelle are my two favorite comics.
Chris put on a great show. Had some good parts about dating younger women, the Kardashians, and his family life now. I enjoyed it.
Chris and Dave always have a great way to tie their story together, I liked the story about what his mom went through in the South to where his daughter is now, and how they can bond over it.

Chris explains why he was annoyed with her before he ever made the joke, and why Will was already a broken man before that night ever happened.
The PC mindset didn't affect Chapelle or Louis C.K. The comedians that are complaining about comedy being impossible because of "wokeness" often aren't funny.
I saw DL at Caroline's in the city a few years ago. He was great, but just a notch below the other two IMO.
Just saw teh HBO special by Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me. Its about his relationships with Chris Rock, Jada Pinket Smith and Will Smith.. whole hour. It is a little hit and miss but overall pretty interesting and funny... especially his take on Chris Rock which he opens the show with.
Watched it. Didn't think it was very funny. More preachy than comedy.
Rock also needs to lay off the botox. Looks stupid and his face barely moves which isn't good for a comedian.
