By now, everyone has seen the Oscars slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock. And virtually anyone who is anyone has voiced their opinion … and Joe Rogan is no different.
“I think (Smith) was being emotionally fragile and he acted on impulse, and I think it’s a foolish impulse that you do when you know there’s no consequences,” Rogan said on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “So you’re hitting a very small person. … You don’t go and sit in the front row. You’re a star at the Oscars. There’s a professional comedian whose job is to roast people. That’s what he’s doing, and what (Rock) did was not even insulting. It was a mild joke.”
Rogan has been in hot water in the past for jokes he’s made or been a part of and is often making headlines for his controversial statements.
“The idea that you think it’s smart while wearing a tuxedo to walk onto a stage in front of the world, like literally the world, (at) one of the biggest award shows on earth, if not the biggest, and smack a comedian for the most mild joke and then sit there quivering, saying, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking mouth,’ and everybody’s just going to sit there in the sh*t that you just took on the table. You just pulled your pants down and took a sh*t on the dinner table and they all have to just sit there and look at that.”
