  • Will Smith looked like a bully during the Oscars slap according to David Spade and Dana Carvey.

  • Smith hit Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

  • Rock told the pair about being bullied as a child.

Will Smith looked like a bully during his confrontation with Chris Rock at the Oscars, according to comedians David Spade and Dana Carvey.

Smith hit Rock after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. Pinkett Smith has acknowledged that she has hair loss.

During an episode of their show, "Fly on the Wall," that aired on Wednesday, Spade weighed in on the incident, saying it sets a dangerous precedent for comedians who tell jokes that could offend people.

The slap in the face was a real slap in the face for comedy, but on a serious note, this sets a dangerous precedent. It was a bad joke, just bad timing. It was like a jack-in-the-box, and here was Chris Rock.

There are some things in the special that make me laugh that people can get offended by.

He said he was triggered by the moment.

I have seen real anger and experienced it, so the first thing that came to my mind was that I was going to be attacked.

He said that he saw a bully, which Spade agreed with.

In a January 12 episode of Fly on the Wall, Rock opened up to the pair about being bullied as a child, particularly while being bused to a predominantly white school in Brooklyn, New York.

It was rough, and Rock had a weird temper. I was the oldest of seven and I was smaller than my brothers.

During the Wednesday episode, Spade said that Smith's walk-up to Rock exemplified bully behavior.

If I am on a date, I will hit on this girl right in the middle of it if I am cut off in a car.

The hosts of the show praised Rock for his demeanor after he was hit.

Smith was awarded best actor for his performance in King Richard and immediately apologized to the academy and the people he worked with on the movie.

On Monday, Smith released a formal apology, including a direct address to Rock, describing his behavior at the awards show as unacceptable and inexcusable.

The joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for Smith to bear and he apologized. I was wrong and I was out of line.

During a comedy show in Boston on Wednesday, Rock spoke about the incident for the first time.
