An alternative take: I’m one of those guys who paid a lot of money to do the meet and greet with Kevin and Jason Mewes during the last movie tour.

I’m a simple man - I see hanafuda, I reflexively shout KOI KOI!

If the slap hadn’t happened and everything had ended after Jada’s eyeroll, it would have just been Chris Rock telling a dud joke, the end. Thanks to the slap, her hair loss is all over the news and her husband is going to do an apology tour.
