It was a 100% rehearsed Fake event then and if that is their main PR strategy for this year , it confirms how great it is to see
Hollywood disappearing , hopefully , forever .

Fake is toxic . Don't they ever learn ?

If it was, it ruined Will Smith’s career

It is not that funny.
We quit watching it maybe 15 minutes in or something.
All he really did was show he isn't as funny as Chappelle or Burr.
His delivery felt more like a speech than a comedy routine.
It is VERY good when comedians go after social ills etc. Today they are all attacking wokism... and that is good. But Rock did it just by saying it.
The "non racist yoga pants" bit... mildly humorous... but it isn't funny enough to do a 5 minute routine about it.

Sorry... it just wasn't funny.

Do you think the slap may have affected his funny bone?

It was several things.
The event was in Baltimore, MD. The audience was at least 95% black. And he was playing to that audience big time instead of the actual audience (viewers on Netflix).
He kept referencing to things in punch lines that no one outside of the audience would know what he was talking about. 2 -3 jokes he mentions "Cherry Hill". So I looked that up, it is a high crime area in Baltimore. Well, holy crap Chris 99% of the Netflix audience has no idea where or what Cherry Hill is.
He kept mentioning names that are geared to a black audience, as a white dude... I have no idea who those people are. And their names were a part of the punch line. So unless you know who these people are, you don't get it.

Secondly... his delivery. It was very "speechy". More than once when done saying something the audience was literally silent. Jordon Peterson might as well have been saying something. There wasn't a punchline. Just a statement.

But as a consolation prize, the Academy offered to fly Will Smith to Kyiv to slap Zelenskyy in the face.

Last month, he accepted the Beacon Award from the African American Film Critics Association for his role in Emancipation (2022).

You're a dumb ass.
