Matt Lucas had the best response to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars

Poke Staff. Updated March 30th, 2022

As you can’t possibly have failed to have noticed by now, it was the most memorable Oscars night for the very worst reason after Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock.

Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith being in “G.I. Jane” because of her bald head. She’s spoken openly about having a hair loss condition. Will Smith ran on stage, slapped Rock, then screamed twice at the top of his lungs “KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT OF YOUR F-NG MOUTH.”

It’s pretty much all anyone’s been talking about all day and prompted no end of reaction (you can read 17 of our favourites here).

The responses kept rolling on this afternoon.

Worried that this will normalise hitting comedians onstage, rather than putting us out of our misery with a 38 calibre handgun, ideally before we have to do the show

In many ways I’ve been through the exact same thing as Chris Rock.
Except it was hosting a company do in Chippenham and I still had to complete the meat raffle.

But very possible the best was this, from Matt Lucas (in a since deleted tweet) …

“I have alopecia AND I’m a comedian who sometimes gets it wrong. I have no idea what I’m supposed to think about last night.”

Please go on Lorraine with one opinion and then This Morning with the other. Then Loose Women can decide the winner. You’d never have to leave the same building.

We’re with Rosie Jones.

Man 1 makes inappropriate joke.
Man 2 responds inappropriately.
And that’s my hot take on the whole thing.
