If anything this is a "If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." situation.

Chris Rock is looking pretty good from this exchange.

Anyway, great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people, so we probably shouldn't dive too deep into this.

Of course the greatest minds of all debate about which Star Wars trilogy was best.

I noticed this when I first saw the event - initially Mr Smith laughs along and takes it on the chin, then when he sees that his wife hasn't taken it on the chin, he changes his mind and goes up and slaps him - a clear sign he's allowed himself to become controlled by her. Then he has the hypocrisy to talk about 'laughing off insults to your family' in his speech when he clearly didn't.

I don't think anybody looks good in that exchange.

I agree. Mr. Rock did make a bad-taste joke there and shouldn't have verbally mocked someone at an event that's meant to celebrate everyone's talent, but simultaneously Will Smith shouldn't have allowed himself to have lost control in that way. It's fortunate for him that Mr. Rock was enough of a sport not to take things to court.

I can understand Mr. Smith not wanting to look as if he can be walked over, but I can think of many ways in which he could have communicated that to Mr. Rock without making a scene - my preferred option would have been to have brought in a funny quip along the lines of this:

"It looks like my wife and I are in the wrong auditorium. I thought we were attending the Oscars, but it turns out we've sat down to spectate the World Insulting Championships!

Something along the line of this entertains the crowd, brings a bit of levity and charms them to my side, and at the same time would communicate to Mr. Rock that he was out-of-line without lowering myself to his level.

Bad taste jokes are a recurrency in humor. it's not that uncommon to have a comedian missing the point and embarass himself.
they both were wrong, in a similar way Cuexcomate and Krakatoa are both volcanoes.

*Anakin gets out weed spray to kill Obi-Wan's prize-winning plant*

"Don't try it!"

*Anakin rushes forward to spray the plant, Obi-Wan grabs his wrist and turns it round just as Anakin presses the trigger, so that weed spray squirts into his eyes*

"You were the Chosen One! You were meant to destroy the Pesticiders not join them!"

"GIMME A TISSUE!"
