I’ve always liked Will Smith. He’s always seemed genuine, but regardless of whether or not Rock had context this is complete bullshit. Men behaving badly on live TV. I’ve never found Rock funny. It’s a tad odd that Smith initially laughed and then seconds later clocked Rock.
Going after someone’s appearance is pretty fucking low hanging fruit in this day and age. Going after someone’s character is a much more poignant form of humour a la Ricky Gervais.
