Are we so desperate for entertainment that we will fall for a Trickless magician?? Saw a woman in half. Pull a rabbit out of a hat. Do something! What tricks does this guy have? "I'm in a box...and I ain't gonna eat.". "I'm in a box... and I ain't gonna eat!!" That ain't no trick! That's called living in the projects!
Chris RockI like talking about subjects that aren't funny in the first place and making them funny. So anything down and depressing is something I'll talk about.
Chris RockI never watched the Oscars. Come on, it's a fashion show . . . What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one. And they don't recognize comedy, and you don't see a lot of black people nominated, so why should I watch it?
Chris RockIf you want to prevent abortions, you make sure everyone has health care, a high school education and birth control. Not the exact opposite.
Chris RockWe treat racism in this country like it's a style that America went through. Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people. You've got to get it at a lab, and study it, and see its origins, and see what it's immune to and what breaks it down.
Chris RockKids always act up the most before they go to sleep. And when I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racismโs almost over. Because this is the last - this is the act up before the sleep. Theyโre going crazy. Theyโre insane. You want to get rid of them - and the next thing you know, theyโre fucking knocked out. And thatโs whatโs going on in the country right now.
