The Will Smith Oscars Slap Made the Entire Internet Stupid

Don’t Let This Flop

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock over a bad joke he made about his wife at the Oscars, we probably could've predicted that the Takes would be bad. But few could have predicted that it would have spawned an entire cottage industry of pundits comparing Smith to Putin, or clutching their pearls over what would have happened had Chris Rock been Betty White (spoiler alert: nothing, because she is dead). This week, we talk Bad Slap Takes as well as Summer Sex Ed camp, Harry Styles' Easter egg filled album rollout, and ponder why Shake from Love Is Blind simply won't shut the f**k up. We also crown Family Feud host Steve Harvey as our Himbo of the Week, and debate whether he is responsible for making face-sitting mainstream.

Don’t Let This Flop is a weekly podcast from Rolling Stone, centered around a roundup of this week in TikTok trends and memes, from dances to recipes to makeup challenges to creepy viral videos to celebrity videos to grassroots campaigns intended to raise awareness of social issues. Join hosts Brittany Spanos and EJ Dickson as they unpack their significance, with special guests to break down the latest trends in TikTok. Some of these stories will be silly; some will be more serious. All will have wider implications outside the world of TikTok.
