Chris Rock is finally getting some vengeance for the slap heard 'round the world.
[Language warning, even though you've all seen it a million times]
Well, Chris Rock's major comedy special "Selective Outrage" premieres tonight on Netflix, and the Baltimore Sun has a preview for us. Notably, this is Netflix's first ever live-streamed global event โ and they're airing it without the seven-second delay typically used to edit out offensive material. ๐ฟ
(Disclaimer: While I'm sure this is not the total sum of the Will Smith jokes in the special ... if you'd rather wait and hear it in Chris Rock's funny voice and delivery, then refrain from scrolling lower in this article.)
No way that stopped any of you lol.
Here's a smattering of the slaps Rock throws Smith's way in the special:
- "We have all been cheated on. She hurt him way more than he ever hurt me. Everyone knows โ I'm not spilling any tea. I felt so bad for Will, I tried to call and give him my condolences. Everybody was calling him a b---h except me. But who does he hit? Me!" (A reference to Jada's many known infidelities ... hoo boy.)
- "Who gets smacked by Suge Smith?" (A reference to Death Row Records' notoriously thuggish CEO Suge Knight, who is now in prison for murder.)
- "He is significantly bigger than me. You will never see me on camera with my shirt off. Will played Muhammad Ali. I played Pookie." (Pookie was a skinny crackhead in 1991's "New Jack City" lol.)
- "I was raised right. I was raised not to fight in front of white people."
- "I rooted for Will Smith my whole life. The other day, I watched 'Emancipation' just so I could watch him getting whipped." (That's Smith's new film where he plays a slave. ๐)
I'm sure (I hope) there are more slaps in his routine, but you'll have to wait until tonight to see the whole thing. Or just wait until all the best parts hit Twitter, like a normal person.
