God, Will Smith is just compulsively a phoney baloney.

now that time has passed it’s worth pointing out that the truly insane thing wasn’t really the slap - it was that 10 minutes later he won best actor. 

It’s a big deal. He had broken the showbusiness rules. You know, the rules of perception. If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob, but if they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.

Yeah, I liked that Ferguson line. Not everything is a competition though. Not only would I agree that Kanye and Kyrie’s comments were more harmful and offensive, the worst I have said about Chappelle’s set was that his jokes about Jews made me uncomfortable. Now, if you’re anti-woke or whatever, you see those words…

What Chappelle said and what Kanye and Kyrie were saying are so far apart though that it’s honestly not even worth comparing them. Maybe this is just because I’m not a “Jewish conspiracy” type, but it seemed to me his comments were trying to take the power away from the “look how many Jews there are in Hollywood”…

You think there are more anti-semites in the world today than there were Saturday afternoon, or that America is now more dangerous for the Jewish population? I’m probably coming off like a dick, but simply have a hard time believing Chappelle making a joke about Jews controlling Hollywood (a novel position) moves the…

Forget what the famous Jewish comedians think. I want to hear more about how talking about anti-semitism is now anti-semitic from all the woke white goyim in the comments. People who seem to think that a stand up set should be treated as a TED talk, with the exact same weight and adherence to logic. As if instead of…

Haha damn calm down it was a joke about how a clique circles the wagons.

Banks are a worldwide industry of many ethnicities going back a long ways, but Hollywood is a specific place which really was built by Jewish-Americans. Like Joel Stein, I don’t see anything bad about acknowledging that.

“I don’t believe that censorship and penalties are the way to end antisemitism or to not gain understanding,” Stewart shared. “I don’t believe in that. I think it’s the wrong way to approach it.”

You know what I love in comedy?

Am I on the right internet with all this reasonableness or reasonability or whatever it is?

How are so many people bad at understanding a joke?!? The brilliancy of the joke’s premise isn’t about antisemitism it’s about how stereotyping groups is wrong. This issue isn’t even about Chappelle it’s about peoples dog whistles and only what they want to hear. 

“A conversation that I don’t think I’d want to have in this venue” is also an awareness that the person on the phone is looking for “Seinfeld blasts back at Chappelle” clickbait headline and he’s politely opting out of that.

His response was perfectly reasonable? It’s basically: why are you looking to Jerry Seinfeld to solve this? Comes off to me as self-awareness that this really isn’t his lane, and it isn’t. He has no deep thoughts on this, and realizes it.

“Chord Overstreet”

“Transphobia is murder”

AV Club grammar is simply streets ahead, whereas you are streets behind. 

I just watched the trailer, and for some reason I’m crying. This looks great.

I can’t believe the internet ever doubted Anne Hathaway.
