Jamie Fox showing Alpha and Hilarious

[Hullothere]

I watched this and was laughing like crazy but also thought it was a great example of alpha. I felt bad for the other guy but you have to give it to Foxx. Hes quick witted, hilarious, and obviously really confident. Having those 3 attributes is a killer combo. Anyways give it a watch, its definitely entertaining if nothing else and gives you a great example of how to think on your feet.

Yes that was good...living in SoCal many yrs ago, where seems like everyone is into theatre, makes me wonder if this was staged.

It's absolutely NOT "alpha" at all. The guy was an up and coming comedian trying to make a name for himself and Jamie Foxx, being the guy who can't respect a newcomer's time totally helps in killing any credibility that Doug Williams had. Jamie of all people should know what it's like when no one knows you from a random guy off the street and you're trying to make them laugh.

On the other hand comedians bomb all the time...but not like this. Not in front of the whole f*cking world. There's a reason for a roast; you can point out the person's flaws because they already have so much going for them.

Jamie just adds malicious insults and make sure the guy never bounces back from it.

I always think through experience and empathy you should help your fellow entertainers come up in the world because you're been a no name yourself.

I can't respect Jamie Foxx for doing what he did. An alpha move would be Jamie Foxx trying to pull that sh!t on Chris Rock or Steve Harvey.

You know if Williams HAD been quick enough, rather than rolling over to be Fox's *****, he could have played right along with it. Made either fun of himself or of Fox. But he seemed like the deer in the headlights

exactly, i was thinking the same thing. Williams should have played along and made the experience 20x better for himself. This is interesting because we will all encounter situations like this where we may be the butt end of a joke. The obvious solution is not to freeze up and act like its bothering you. Roll with the punches and play along. Great example of social dynamics...

Its a roast dude, they are all there to make fun of each other... Jamie has just as much a responsibility to make the crowd laugh as Doug Williams. He delivered on that

I actually encountered something like this many yrs ago. I was a groomsman in a wedding and as I was being introduced at the reception, the idiot (also a good friend) started jokingly making fun of me in front of hundreds of guests. I laughed too and as I walked past him I grabbed the mic and told him that I WOULD have the mic later. Then later, with me holding the mic, I totally razzed him.
