I think seeing the trump supporters wave nazi flags made him do a double take.

Wow the woke mob got to Jerry just for speaking his mind and dating a 17 year old

He had $70m and complete creative freedom to make any comedic project he wanted. The capstone of 40 years practicing one craft. He made a movie about poptarts.

I assume he’s gotten a lot of negative feedback and he wants to help rebuild his brand. And this didn’t help either…

When asked how he managed to spoof such a recognizable brand’s story—and as many actual names as he did—without permission, he told Variety the sound advice he got from a lawyer: “If people are dead, it’s much harder for them to sue you.”

Its odd. I saw that clip with him gervais, ck and chris rock. Those other two were saying the N word in front of chris. He was the only one that objected there. It should have been a lightbulb moment where he realizes that some of these guys aren’t doing comedy they’re taking the piss and seeing what they can get away with

That was a truly awful video, and Chris wasn’t even objecting, he was going along with it, as can be expected from the guy whose most infamous comedy bit is about how there’s good black people and there are slurs.

And then CK just really reveling about using the word constantly, with everyone laughing. Bizarre video.

I’ve always wondered how Chris rock feels about his legacy being “giving racists a pass on calling black people the n word”

Based on that video, doesn’t seem to really bother him.

His legacy is now getting smacked at the oscars and throwing his entire race under the bus. Must suck

He also coined “the friend zone” in the same special. Honestly though I don’t think it’s fair to fault him for that. Chuds steal things and recontextualize them in a way that removes irony, humour and nuance. It’s their whole thing. The solution to that isn’t to just make art that has no irony, humour or nuance. That’s just letting idiots bully us out of making anything that doesn’t talk down to its audience.

These type of these white dudes don’t want friendship with poc they just wanna have people who are social experiments. Their ideas of bonding is what some call shit tests. Just probing and prodding. Seeing what they can get away with with you. And if they sense weakness well… You see that vid is in a live audience imagine in private.

This is why Chris Rock was never, and could never be a King of Comedy, even if Bernie was still with us

Wow, it’s almost as if the people who are always complaining about the left ruining comedy really just want to be able to say whatever hatful shit they want and say “its just a joke”. Who’d of thought that
