...In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum...
'Trump had a good year, man,' Rock said. 'Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named 'Time' man of the year...
'A lot of people are scared. Like, "oh, my God, he's going to be so undignified." When I say a lot of people, I'm talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn't vote for him, okay?', Rock said, poking fun at liberals...
'Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. We've had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I'm just talking about Bill Clinton,' ...
'Dude. It's the United States... I mean, you know what country we live in. You know the history of this country. You know how many rapists are in my wallet right now? A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists... Trump's going to get it down to three.' ...
Turning to Trump, Rock joked how the president-elect was going to start deporting illegal immigrants while working with the 'number one African American in the world, the richest African American in the world, Elon Musk.' ... 'They're going to put them in a rocket ship–call it 'SpaceMex,' ...
'I gotta hand it to Joe, he don't move as fast as he used to, he don't talk as fast as he used to,' Rock said, 'but that middle finger still works,' ... 'Only an animal would not pardon your son. Every parent in the world would pardon their son, except the parents of the Menendez Brothers,' he joked.

Man, watching him was painful.
“A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists... “
LMFAO
Biting phoookin comedy still exists.
How to tell when someone has FU money.
SpaceMex! What a riot! I’m going to steal that and place it in my lexicon.
Sis boom bah - the sound of a sheep exploding. I’ll never forget that one. Ed McMahon was in tears with laughter.
Indeed killing the PC cause ain’t so bad after all people are finding out.
The “Good” Chris Rock is back!
His n-bomb routine is probably still on YouTube, it’s from his late 90s tour, “Bring the Pain” I think it was called. That one killed. But he dropped it because as he put it, he didn’t like who was talking about it and shouldn’t have been.
But notice the reaction of the people in the audience to that routine, they were with him 100%.
But Norm MacDonald was the GOAT. I miss that guy so much.
Same.
If his audience thinks it’s funny to refer to our Founding Fathers as rapists where do we go from here.
The history of any civilization is fraught with inequities. Dominant peoples achieved their dominance by dominating - that’s just reality.
We all have our share of ancestors who dominated but we all have our share of ancestors who were dominated as well.
While we are at it, shall we study the DNA of black ancestry and figure out which tribes sold which tribes into slavery?
This is ridiculous. A giant oak tree doesn’t get that way without sucking more than “its share” of water, air and sunlight away from competing flora and fauna.. and perhaps occasionally dropping huge limbs and crushing it’s smaller neighbors below.
Does every successful endeavor owe reparations for its success?
You just made me laugh asking myself "how could I forget about Norm McDonald?" His Weekend Updates are legendary.
Yes they were!
Johnny Carson got to practice his chops nightly—but there were nights he “bombed” and even made jokes out of that—whynot?!
I enjoyed Rock’s presentation. It was one of the first out of the gate that poked fun at mostly all sides. Yeah, it poked fun at Trump, but not maliciously—
The jokes could have been better and a bit more digs at the other side, but his audience was leftists and he has to drag them along slowly...
Perhaps comedy will return with the return of Trump. It so sadly degraded these past years. Or maybe comedy was funnier decades ago when some of us were experiementing with laughing powders and wacky tobaccy...
Can they still do Drunk Kamala? Maybe off limits because 1) she’s irrelevant, or 2), she really has a problem and they won’t kick a Democrat while they’re down.
Tou should tune in PBS. At least it’s only White America sucks.
i saw him flinch when an audience member stood up
