I agree with Jim Carrey that the standing ovation given to Will Smith was more offensive than the slap itself. Kudos to Chris Rock for taking the high road, and getting "on with the show" - shows a true professional. Glad his comedy tour tickets are selling out.

A lot of initial reports were calling this a punch, but it wasn't. It was a weak slap, I'm sure that Smith could have slapped much harder but that wasn't the point. It was still dumb. He should have just got on stage and asked Chris to apologize and hold up the show until he did. The dumbest part was Will actually laughed at the joke!

As far as DA prosecuting, you know he'd never see jail time, and for any monetary fine- he's already done to himself by negative reputation. Think of all the potential future roles he's lost in that 1 moment. Time to go buy an island and move there, cause he's now retired.

Lol.
I agree, Republicans don't have a monopoly on unethical and immoral behavior, but if it's a contest, they are not just "winning", it's a 98-2 blowout.

Democrats-comedien Al Franken voluntarily quits over distasteful but obvious comedy photos taken on a comedy tour
Republicans- line up and link arms in support of blatantly incestuous serial child harasser Trump (read what he publicly said about going backstage at his beauty pageants, and his daughter) and others like pedophile Roy Moore

Did Clinton repeatedly fly on Epstien's planes to charity events? It seems he did but has acknowledged it, saying he knew nothing about the allegations against Epstein at the time.
Did Trump repeatedly party with Epstein, including parties full of very young girls and no other male guests? It seems he did, as he once acknowledged in an interview saying “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,” years before he started lying and claiming he didn't know him at all.

Let it all come out, then let's compare.

Yep, a comedian on a comedy tour taking a joke picture pretending to assault a sleeping woman who then quit of his own accord is exactly the same as a long term pedophile who enjoys his parties full support and never backs down or apologizes even after losing, or a philanderer who blackmail his mistress by taking naked pictures of her tied up and threatening to make them public then fights removal.

There is no equivalency. There's not a monopoly on one side, no, but there's absolutely not "every bit as much corruption and dishonesty on the Democrat side of politics as there is on the Republican". Republican dishonesty is about selling the country to Russia and raiding the treasury, and hiding or excusing inexcusable behavior and permeates everything they say. Democratic dishonesty is about which email account an email came from and pretending the leadership has no bias, and bowing to hyper sensitivity and disingenuous faux outrage.

For example...
Asked how his tax plan benefits the rich, he replied....
Trump: "No, I don't benefit. I don't benefit. In fact, very very strongly, as you see, I think there's very little benefit for people of wealth."

When asked about his rich friends....
"They can call me all they want; not going to help," he said Sept. 27, 2017. "I'm doing the right thing and it's not good for me, believe me."

When asked about the Trump zero tolerance plan to tear families apart as a political ploy, Trump claimed the Democrats did it and only they can reverse it, then he reversed his plan himself proving both family destroying lies to be lies.

The consistency, levels, and importance of the dishonesty from Republicans is exponentially greater than that from Democrats, who are far from perfect themselves.

Edit: Btw, Mahr has addressed the issue of him running for office repeatedly, he's capable and intelligent enough to be honest and say he's a horrible politician and would probably never run, and he knows he's far more influential exactly where he is than he might be as a freshman representative.....and he's smart enough to see that a candidate that gets out the vote for the opposition (like Clinton) is a horrendously stupid idea.
And Franken worked out great until he caved to false outrage and quit while pedophiles and abusive philanderers were welcomed into the opposing party feigning the outrage over a funny (but disrespectful) picture.

He wasn't banned for life even though it was claimed to be at first

He made a cameo 5 years ago at the awards handing envelop to presenter, started to act like he was gonna talk then nodded a grin and walked

Plus he had a 1 or 2 season reality show on E channel was interesting documenting his return to comedy touring.

And HBO aired his latest show mid 2000s

Found on The Grauniad.

Carlos Mencia is still doing stealing comedy?

I'm with you. I think I've seen pretty much everything he's done now, if that's possible. Zach, Patton Oswalt and Louis CK are my fav comedians these days. At least, American comedians. Have you seen the HBO series 'Bored to Death'? Zach's in it, along with Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson, of all people. Very gentle comedy, but much fun. I've been getting into that and Community of late. Oh, and "The Trip" from the UK (Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon - I've sifted a couple of clips). Feel free to drop some names of stuff you'd recommend.

Wicked, I have to dig that out, read about it when I found this video. I was introduced to Zach by my fella when he showed me The Snuggler, and I never looked back. I'm working my way up to crazy stalker fan right now

Not at all. I presume this was filmed during the Comedians of Comedy tour. The doco of that tour introduced me to Zach - brilliant stuff.

Here's one of countless reasons I hate Fox News. Her opening question:

"You're starting a comedy tour called 'Get it Legal'... what's the message you're trying to send to folks?"

He wears blue jeans so I know he's just a regular guy like me and can be trusted, unlike those crazy elitists and their pants.

>> ^BreaksTheEarth:
OMG that 'Got Milk?' t-shirt is fucking hilarious. Is it even possible for this guy to stop innovating?

There's a comedian, Sebastian Maniscalco on Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy tour on Sho Time that does this exact joke...I don't know who stole from who, if at all. Unfortunately he did the joke here in San Diego and everybody turned on him hahaha.

now that GW's out I'm waiting for the Original Prez's of Comedy tour.

So... what exactly does he mean when he says he did "two tours?"
He strapped on some gear and went on some missions? He did a couple comedy "tours"? He took a couple tours through the luxury Haliburton barracks?
