50 year old losing hair, shocking. People have been making bald jokes since jokes were a thing.
Seinfeld is nothing buy bald jokes, it was a super fucking tame joke that should have been a giggle.

Think of the shit said at the Friar's roasts.

being made fun of for going bald is the exact same level of "too far" as being made fun of in grade school for your name. it's juvenile, in poor taste, usually not funny, and 100% who cares.

“Deloris!!!!!”

Yes, exactly. The joke wasn't okay, partially because it isn't something that she has control over, but mostly because it just wasn't really funny.

But who cares. I'm going bald, and I've always had long hair so i definitely understand the "ugh, this sucks" feeling she probably has, and my ex-wife has baldspots due to trichotillomania (neurotically pulling out hair) so I definitely get being over sensitive when someone makes a joke about it... But there's a time and a place. You don't walk up and hit the person. Especially considering that this is essentially a work place get together.
I'm not going bald so i dont know how it feels, but at some point in your life getting bald isnt the worst thing in the world. i have a friend who went bald when he was in his early 20s, he wore a hat all the time. like i never seen him without a hat til one time he asked me to take him to court to fight some ticket and they made him take his hat off. i wasnt in the court room yet and i was trying to find where the fuck he was sitting, wasnt a big room. then i hear. "chuk, over here" i look around, shit, where was he. then i hear "right here, dummy" and holy fuck, he was right next to me. was like a Scooby Doo mask reveal. dude looked completely different. that must suck being young and bald. but when you get in your 40s and 50s? eh just shave your head and go with it. i guess if you got a weird shaped head, then it still sucks, but i dunno its not as important anymore. for a woman, thats probably the same way, at 50, just put a wig on, chicks put wigs on even when not going bald.

I know this will sound like a faggot. I can’t find the word for it .. but this American Inventor went up ther and assaulted someone and the whole earth saw it and nothing happened. Any one of us would be arrested, mug shot on every news paper, life ruined and over, but this fucker commits a legit crime on TV and nothing happens. It’s such bullshit.

i know, I know, he’s basically royalty or whatever, but it’s still bullshit

Yeah, that was kind of my point with the name thing. No one likes being the butt of a joke, and it's easy to be self conscious about things that you feel are a core part of your identity, but in the grand scheme of things, there are SIGNIFICANTLY bigger issues to concern yourself with.

Granted, people in Hollywood are definitely objectified and valued based on looks way more than us regular folk, so I could see how a physical thing like baldness might cause a lot more distress than it should...

But I'm REALLY not concerned with someone who is practically a household name being overly sensitive about their hair while they sleep around on their husband with their son's friend in their multi million dollar mansion.

I don't know why he didn't apologize to Chris as part of his acceptance speech. I found that as confusing as the slap.
Because he didn't think he actually did anything wrong. The whole speech was a pat on the back for "defending his family"

i'm genuinely curious why people think this is staged. the only reason they come up with is because they are actors. as if that precludes them from behaving like awful monsters.
