At the 1999 MTV awards Britney was 17, unimpressed and in the audience while Chris made a joke about which backstreet boy was going to get her pregnant.

By the way, I remember at the vmas where she performed OPPS... Right after Chris Rock came out and said "Britney went from the MMC to the Strip club" lollolol I thought that was funny

that wasnt chris rock

The difference between then and now is probably most women in the audience around Britney felt the mockery in their gut, but hardly any were comfortable enough to say it out loud. And now they would. I'd give Chris Rock this much, I think it's him in that video from around that time talking to photographers on the street and saying, why do you have to follow Britney Spears around like that. But his stand-up always seems to have these misogynistic moments that seems to come from wanting to put women in their place. Like his 2016 "joke" about Jada Pinkett Smith also denigrated Rihanna.

It's just yucky to make jokes about people's appearance, not to mention deeper things personal to them, and is it ever funny? I think they should just refrain from these comedy routines at the awards shows where they single out celebrities for ridicule. It must be excruciating for them and like Will Smith said, you have to smile through it.  Not to mention it's excruciating to watch. Actors are pretty vulnerable in general., from what I can see. They don't seem to do that kind of thing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies.

I'm not condoning what Will Smith did, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if this whole trend of taking potshots at a captive audience is put under a microscope. Also, covid. It's just a simmering cauldron out there.

I hadn’t really picked sides in that battle as both were ridiculous but maybe all of a sudden I’m team Will!

So two (presumably) minors consensually dating makes it okay for a grown man to make a ***ual joke about impregnating that 17-year-old girl? 

Britney was only a few months shy of turning 18....lol You guys are acting like she just turned 17. Plus, Britney had already went on interviews at that time stating she dated older men(Her ex was the same age as one the BSB members  & dude graduated HS brits FRESHMAN year making him 18+ as she continued to date him) soooo of course people are gonna run with that....

I’m wondering if her reaction isn’t spliced in from another moment. If you note from the actual telecast, the camera never goes to Brit during the joke (see around 6:30). Though the look she’s giving makes sense tbh

Tasteless joke. Still think Jada joke was so rude and stupid. Man, he can do better.

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

Britney should’ve pull a Will

I think the worse part for Will is that he actually going to be more remembered for punching a man rather than getting his Oscar.  And i feel for Will. I mean that is the way u can stand up for ur wife but i still wish he just booed him or screamed to him or just went on him after the show. Not like i am saying beating is good if nobody seeing. Hell no. It is just so uncomfortable watching some1 punching other man at an award show. This should be absolute no no.

I doubt she was even taking notice of what he was saying judging by the look on her face

You dont get it, it doesnt matter how old she was, he could said it to a 30 year old and its still rude, disrespectful and misogynistic. He just slutshamed her. You can make jokes that are positive and not offensive to someone. This is the same ***** when Sarah Silverman joked about her children being mistakes at the 07 VMA. How are these people come up with "jokes" like this ???

18 year old is legal adult at that point. You are no longer a minor according to the LAW. Justifying ***ualization of teenagers? Then what the hell was BRIT herself doing posing in her bra & panties, with her ***** and *** out, on a national cover of rolling stone at the age of 17....?

Breaking news: comedian makes joke. SHOCKING!

Is this what we’re doing now? Digging up old Chris Rock jokes and trying to cancel him while ignoring that he was assaulted for telling a very tame joke the other night?? Some of you are unbearable. 

He should be canceled solely for his irritating and nauseating voice

« A teenager, or teen, is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. They are called teenagers because their age number ends with "teen". A 18 years old is a teenager period,she wasn’t even 18 anyway, your point of view is trash it’s not because someone chose to make a **** picture (her choice ) that she deserves to be ***ualized (that’s called sl** shaming )and humiliated publicly especially not when that person is 17 and the one making the joke is a grown *** man

It was a real lapse in judgement. But you never know with these things. The media has really been dwelling on this story unnecessarily. At least it's not some furtive secret that came out. Everyone saw it, that might be to his advantage eventually. It could all turn around.

The worst thing for Chris Rock is they're going to play that lame joke over and over again.

I would have preferred a Backstreet Boy over a K-Fed-Ex (*perm) delivery boy .
