"Chris Rock didn't have that much time" is totally irrelevant; she's good at it (and quick, pick any "on the fly" comment she makes, it's funny), he isn't

I am saying contextually they don’t compare. Why bring that stand up act in this thread then? There’s a whole other thread specifically for that.

nope, but again, that's irrelevant

I'm saying "he did something badly (in my opinion), here's how you do that well (in my opinion)"

Not in the context of the setting, purpose, etc…Oscars presentation isn’t remotely similar other than a joke is made. Heck non-comedians make jokes when presenting.

The only equivalent would be a clip from another awards type ceremony in which it’s done differently than Rock’s.

there's nothing in what Chris Rock did that's inherent to celebrity award shows other than presenting an award, and I'm not critiquing that

there are several points of comparison one could make and you're picking a different one to mine and saying mine is "wrong"
