Pauly Shore reacts to Jimmy Kimmel's 'Encino Man' Oscars jab: 'I loved it'
Jimmy Kimmel's 'Encino Man' joke at the Oscars didn't faze Pauly Shore: 'I loved it.' He also loved seeing his old pals Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan win big.
Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson have 'Dawson's Creek' reunion at Oscars after-party
Twenty years after 'Dawson's Creek' ended, castmates Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams had themselves a mini-reunion at a post-Oscars party.
I'm gonna need context. Even so, it's still just one man's opinion. Yes, it's Steven Spielberg but who really knows what he was referring to.

@REDLINE @Camille
Thoughts on that? I thought it was a jokes? No apologies?
Because of the record breaking success of Maverick and Cruise insisting on a theatrical only release.

I respect him for him planning on not saying the joke if Tom was there.
But interesting isn't it.
I really really wonder if he WOULD have said it in his face?
And why is it ok to say the f*cked up joke when he is not there?
So when Chris made all those messed up Jada jokes when she wasn't there that was OK?
But then by that logic Chris was wrong to say it in her face?
If you're talking about the GI Jane joke the man just thought she had a short haircut.
That's not that harsh of a joke if it was just a haircut.
I don't remember the other jokes of there were some.
And I feel you about saying jokes behind someone's back versus saying it in their face. It's definitely kinda cowardly.
But if you're praising someone while they're there, you kinda don't wanna shit on them at the same time
It's all about tact.

Ok ok ok
I'm saying he KILLED HER when she boycotted AND then dissed her to her face when she came back.
That ain't personal?
Cause that white man just said to the world if my friend was right there? I could say all that to his face.
So what are the comedy rules?
The rules are the ones that each individual chooses to abide by.
That's how religion works too
Not necessarily, most individuals can determine if a joke is too far, out of bounds or mean spirited.
Or a joke can be factually incorrect.
If it's not one of those then they're being sensitive and it's selective outrage.
True
But who determines all that?
Kimmel says I ain't doing that in his face that's disrespectful.
Rock does it to Jada says she has to sit there and take it.
But they both claiming comedy rules of engagement.
It cannot be arbitrary at that point.
Because then Will slapping Chris could be his comedy rules too.
And Jimmy should get points after the fact because he "wouldn't " have done it.
It's ALL selective picking and choosing.

Michelle Yeoh Takes Swipe at Don Lemon During Oscars Acceptance Speech
Michelle Yeoh made history last night during the Oscars, but her big win isn't the only thing that has folks talking ... it's also her direct message to Don Lemon.

There are no objective rules to comedy. It used to be that "punching down" was considered bad but that's not universally accepted either.
It seems the only rule comedians stand by come hell or high water is not stealing someone else's material. You see what happened to Carlos Mencia.
Then again Dennis Leary lifted Bill Hicks stuff and nothing happened to him. Bill Hicks had died at that point so maybe he got a pass.
The fans determine what's offensive just like the fans determine what's funny.
Even the theft stuff seems to me to be kinda arbitrary too.
Carlos Mencia v Joe Rogan
Louie ck v Dane cook
Robin Williams vs EVERYBODY
Russell perers v gina yashere v Trevor noah
some got passes some made excuses some paid up some are falsely accused some thrived some never were
So even that is selective.
And all these rules are.
I don't understand how to me comedians are getting just as sensitive
Jokes ain't never been free
How come these comedians always mention never making fun of thugs or gangstas at a show?
Tyson was notorious for going after comedians who joked on him.
Just like everyone says Will KNEW who to joke on?
As we are learning Chris did too.
That's right.
The more I learn about the sausage making in the comedy world, the less respect I have for the whole enterprise.
The entirety of the all these things will constantly disappoint you bro
All Sports on all levels.
All of the entertainment industry
Journalism
Religion
Government
Medical
Military
Education
Social services
Financial services
Environmental
Bro we seen behind the curtain...
And some go blind, some just close they eyes, some smile.
Fam, I'm already disappointed in every institution you listed with the possible exception of sports only because I was never really into sports. I like boxing but it's no secret boxing has been corrupt for centuries.
Comedy, though, was always a way to vent. A way to attack things in society that are more powerful than you but it's just as corrupt and cutthroat as everything else in society.
Oscars Show Secrets: Rihanna and Tom Cruise Jokes You Didn’t Hear, the Lady Gaga Saga and Whether Jimmy Kimmel Will Return (EXCLUSIVE)
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' EP Molly McNearney and Walt Disney TV alternative head Rob Mills share behind-the-scenes scoop on this year's Oscars telecast.
variety.com
Insiders had hinted that Cruise pulled out because he had caught wind that Judd Apatow — who had made a series of brutal jokes at Cruise’s expense at the DGA Awards — was helping with Kimmel’s monologue. But that wasn’t actually the case, and McNearney hopes that’s not the reason Cruise didn’t come.
see what I'm saying @REDLINE
but but but I thought EVERYONE was fair game?
that if you sit in front you KNOW what gone happen?
Its just jokes?

I holla'd at Tom Cruise and he had a message for you:
Hi @playahaitian I'm Tom Cruise,
You may or may not know me but I make movies.
Some have been blockbusters, wait many have been blockbusters and many have been films that I just wanted to do.
Let's cut to the chase. I just googled my net worth and they say that I'm worth 620 million...
But I'm really worth more, that's our secret just don't tell the IRS.
I wanted to let you know why I didn't attend the Oscars on Sunday.
I have better things to do than to watch some wanna be funny faggit talk about me and my religion. And you may not know this about me but I hate shitty jokes like I hate shitty food.
Also I'm an actor but I'm a person first. And I'll be damned if a fucking talk show host tells his struggle jokes about me while I struggle to keep a fake smile while wanting to slap the smug smile and skin off of his face.
So in short, I saw what happened to Will Smith last year and one joke about my religion would've had me stomping a mudhole in that sack of shit Kimmel.
That's why I wasn't there.
And if you haven't seen it go watch Top Gun: Maverick!
And if you have seen it, then go see it again because it's fucking great fuck a critic and an Oscar voter!
We're in a safe space and a judgement free zone right? I mean this is BGOL, right?
Maverick should've won best picture! I'm tired of getting robbed by these shitty files that no one likes except people that don't get pussy!
Those bitchass niggas always trying to hold a real nigga back!
My movie was about planes!
Fucking planes!
No jets, that fly real fucking fast!
You're pissing me off by having me think about some nigga named Oscar so fuck Oscar and fuck Jimmy I'm out!
T Cruise!
