No, he wasn't paid to be funny. He was hired to present the Oscars on the basis that he's good at his job as an entertainer.

Sue Perkins has done similar jobs and I didn't appreciate her jokes but I didn't want her physically attacked for telling a joke I personally didn't like.

The audience was laughing, including Will Smith, at Chris Rocks act so they seemed satisfied with the jokes he told.

Telling jokes is a legal activity and until the day comes that it's not then Chris Rock did nothing wrong.

If you don't like jokes then change the law and make telling jokes a crime.

You seem to be trying to justify what Smith did and suggesting that Rock brought the attack on himself. That's how it's coming across.

If Rock's joke would have been 10x more offensive than what it was then Rock still wouldn't have done anything that justified being slapped on live television. Rock is the victim here.

But Rock didn't make a bad choice or decision. Smith did though. So you're half right.

But they're the cancel culture people so they're bound to go for that take. They're the enemy of freedom. They work for people who want to strip our freedoms, enslave and control us.

It doesn't really matter what the public think, the fact of the matter is Chris Rock could have pressed charges against Will for hitting him, Will however could not have pressed charges against Chris for telling a joke about his wife.
