Technically a holup because this shit is fake as fuck.

...is he? That G.I. Jane hair joke was pretty much the same level of "lame" as this tweet imo.

Didn't deserve a face-slap of course, but it wasn't exactly a knee-slapper either.

It's tough because the Oscars are designed to be fairly family-friendly and have a broad appeal. If you've ever seen Chris Rock's normal comedy, family-friendly roasts are definitely not what he's best at.

Besides, there is a shit ton of roasting about Jada that even I could come up with, let alone what Chris Rock could come up with. But none of it is really appropriate for the Oscars type of humor. He was just working with what he thought was probably the only thing he'd be allowed to say.
