Im gonna be honest.

I didnt even read it as a joke. Just an analogy. An analogy I dont fully understand since the restaurant isnt where the big tragedy happened.

But.. like.. why are people getting upset? Or worse, doubling down on Will slapping him?

Are any of you legit upset he brought up Nicole?

I dont get it lol.

He should go and his opening speech should be like the Super Troopers bit where they "sneak" meow in as often as they can, but "Jada" instead of "Meow"

Part of me wants to say that if you're young enough to have needed to google who Nicole Brown Simpson was before forming an opinion on this, you waive your right to be upset over it.

On one hand, it's kinda in bad taste. On the other, apparently the concept of 'too soon' now has no expiration date? Are we going to go after Monty Python for making light of the death of Mary, Queen of Scots? But back on the first hand, Sharon Tate's murder happened almost 60 years ago, and unless it was delivered with impeccable comedic timing, I'd still consider a joke about it to be in bad taste.

So I guess it's good of Rock to make sure the waters stay nice and muddy on this particular controversy.

For people defending this..why it isn't funny. I mean dude could at least get some jokes about things that happen less then 30 years ago.

I'm not mad at all lol. I can see why you'd find what he said funny, but It's perfectly understandable why someone would take issue with it. I don't think it sets a good example in society for comedians to be allowed to make fun of just anything.

Rock obviously made the joke because he believes comedians can joke about anything, but not everyone is going to be onboard with that.

In this case, a 25 year past murder is the anything?

Like other's said. His references being so dated is the real issue.

You realize if you like comedy at all, you're supporting opening the gates for them to target most likely every single one of your favorite comedians next, no?

Let's try to stay focused on people out hear in Hollywood actually doing fucked up shit. There's a lot to tackle ahead of Chris Rock making dated OJ jokes
