I got smacked at the Oscars by this motherf**** and people are like, 'Did it hurt?' It still hurts! I got 'Summertime' ringin' in my ears!"It seems that this special has divided the internet into two parts. While many netizens find it amusing, some have been less impressed with Rock's special. One Twitter user even pointed out that the special was more about complaining about the incident than anything really comical.Ivan Sanchez@IvanSanchezC90I'm going to guess this Chris Rock special will go similar to others recent specials like Chapelle or Lopez.It's more complaining than actual jokes.

The Aladdin actor said that he was going "through something that night." In an interview soon after the incident, Will Smith said to Trevor Noah:"I was going through something that night. And not that that justifies my behavior at all. You're asking what did I learn and it's that we just got to be nice to each other, man. It's hard. And I guess the thing that was most painful for me is that I took my hard and made it hard for other people."He further continued:"It was a lot of things. It was the little boy that watched his father beat up his mother. It's all of that just bubbled up in that moment. It's just – that's not who I want to be,"While this admittance does provide a perspective on Smith's side, it also explains why so many fans are coming in support of Smith.Mario Covone@MarioCovone@TonyBakercomedy Chris Rock was man enough to take the hit, not fall down, not stop doing his job, not press charges and not sue Will Smith... He's a stand up comedian. Let the man do his job, turn it into a joke and get paid. I love Will Smith, but this is justified.3@TonyBakercomedy Chris Rock was man enough to take the hit, not fall down, not stop doing his job, not press charges and not sue Will Smith...
