all of the pics with different angles of the slap have been killing me.

eta: I do feel for Questlove. He was really emotional and the moment (obviously) meant a lot to him, so it is a shame that it got overshadowed.

[poopanna]

I agree, I feel bad for him.

[ladyserenity84]

Yeah, I feel terrible for Questlove, too. He gave such a great speech as well.

[aspacecake]

I've been seeing a lot of people trying to give attention to Quest, so I feel it actually in many ways he will be getting more attention in people's effort to give him his praise. If there's any silver lining.

I do hope Will post some sort of further statement and gives props to Quest (Philly love!)

Did anyone else think the covid testing bit was …awkward. I assume they kneew(thisismetrailingoff) wwww???

[poopanna]

I felt weird. I mean, I’m not sure if they’re trying a “you guys have been shit to us forever, have a taste of your own medicine,” but even then it was just ick-ish.

[callonme_84]

That ~give ‘em taste of their own medicine ~ feeling does come on strong sometimes, but still 🥴🥴

[aspacecake]

It was funny and cute for like the first minute, because it seemd the original guys, Bradley, Simu, Timothee etc were all "in on it".

And then it got kind of weird and went on for all too long. It made me uncomfortable

[kimyesus]

omg i forgot about them playing africa, that def threw me for a moment lol

Rock's joke was ad-libbed, not in the script.

The shock of the moment has worn off and now I'm just angry at Chris Rock.

In 2020 my hair was falling out by the handfuls and I was diagnosed with telogen effluvium. I'm not exaggerating when I say that shit was traumatic on top of an already hellish nightmare of a year. I can't imagine some asshole making a joke about my "baldness" in front of an audience of that scale. Rude fuckface deserved that slap and more.

The we dont talk about Bruno part was very Premios Lo Nuestro and i was here for it but I did miss the “rats on his back” verse lol
