Last night, you might have seen the great Will Smith walk onto the stage at the Oscar’s and smoke Chris Rock in the face shortly after Rock made a joke at the expense of Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. Or, you’re like me and fell asleep, and caught up on the tidal wave of memes in the morning.
Now listen. There’s enough jokes going around, enough drama tying in Jada’s “entanglement” with rapper August Alsina. I’m not going to comment on a man’s decision to stand up for his wife, even if he maybe could have been a little more subtle about it – but you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. There are various reasons why the joke was so upsetting to Will, and again, I’m not here to give my opinion of right and wrong in the situation.
I just want to show you some hilarious tweets I found about the slap itself, starting with an instant classic:
Beautiful. Hit ‘em with the screen freeze, sound effects and everything.
You had to know Twitter menace extraordinaire SavinTheBees was going to come with the heat, and the Jojo’s reference lands perfectly.
Not the Dragon Ball Fighterz level 7. Unbelievable. The cuts at the end? Cinema.
We’ll end it here, on a personal bias of mine. This is how I feel about the upcoming Phillies team. Who cares about defense? Shut the hell up and enjoy the home runs.
Again, there’s quite a few takes on the situation, some wilder than others. Not here to give mine, just share some funny tweets. That’s all.
Out of curiosity, didn’t Will move out there after getting into one little fight in the first place? Wonder if a relocation back to Philly is on the table now.
Sorry.
