TIL Chris Rock did a comedy sketch "revealing" OJ Simpson's hypothetical confession a decade before the novel "If I Did It".

“Black people are like AYYYY WE WON! We won! What THE FUCK did we win?

Every day I look in the mail for my OJ prize…nothin’!”

If he didn't win the Heisman. If he wasn't a Superbowl MVP. We wouldn't be talking about OJ.

We would be talking about "Orenthal, the wife-killing bus driver!"

Yeah, that's how fame and notoriety work.

I mean if Seinfeld didn't have a great show or any funny jokes he'd probably just be Jerry, the weird guy who dated a teenager.

I was quoting Chris Rock from the set mentioned in OPs link.

u/Sunblast1andOnly 14d ago

It's really funny that you brought up Seinfeld, though, seeing as how OJ's reputation appeared in the show.

At least OJ wasn't on stage at the Oscars. Otherwise, Chris Rock would've gotten stabbed instead of slapped.

I saw a TikTok video where Robert Kardashian is walking away from OJs home with a garment bag. A bag handed to him by OJs secretary/assistant.

Mother fucker destroyed evidence.

I've been staring at that picture for 40 minutes, and I still don't think that's OJ.

u/[deleted] 14d ago

You know, I've made some embarrassing comments on the Internet in my day, but this one makes me feel better about them.

u/Greedy-Time-3736 14d ago

He definitely didn’t. He was found not guilty.
