In a recent episode of DraftKings’ Starting Five podcast, Kevin Hart and Jadakiss were met with a serious dilemma. Discussing the role that fashion has played in the NBA, Hart brought up the concept of rappers wearing way too many chains. He asked, “How many chains is enough?” Going on specify, “What’s the number?” Hart continued, “The real question is are people eating while they have this on? Are we swallowing? Like are we digesting food?”
He then went on to say that wearing that many chains is “just a lot of noise.” Host of the podcast Jadakiss jumped on, saying, “It sound like he doing the dishes.” He added, “[Like] he putting the forks back, [or] putting the spoons back in the drawer.” The rest of the podcast saw conversations surrounding Hart’s career, culture, and basketball.
Earlier this month, Hart shared his feelings towards Ice Cube on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. “Cube might be one of the most genuine, kindest spirits that you can be around,” he shared. “He wants nothing but good for other people. He loves to see the people around him succeed- he’s such a creative mind.” Hart continued, “That’s all he does. He loves the foundation of creativity and is one of the most professional people I’ve worked with on set.”
Also this month, Method Man appeared on Kevin Hart’s own podcast Comedy Gold Minds. Method Man got candid about his mental health, sharing that, “I was my own shadow, meaning I was in my own way.” He also said he realized he “could not control the people around me, but I could control myself.” The artist said, “One thing that stood out for me, when I was younger – basically being a little dirty kid with nothing, no control over where I lived, what I ate, where I slept. But I had these sports – football and lacrosse – there I had control and I was good at it.” Method Man continued, revealing, “I had to look myself in the mirror and say, ‘I’m tired of myself. I want better for me, I have more to contribute, and start there.’ Self-check, absolutely. If you don’t, sooner or later, somebody else is gonna check you.”

# 10-Ace the Bat-Hound-DC League of Super-Pets (2022)
Kevin Hart voiced the character of Ace in League of Super-Pets. The animated movie features the pets of DC’s superheroes, including Hart’s character, Batman’s dog, and Superman’s dog Krypto voiced by Dwayne Johnson. Ace is a small, scrappy dog determined to prove himself to his superhero owners.
Hart’s performance is incredibly funny because he effortlessly brings his trademark energy and humor to the role. Hart’s voice acting brings a childlike quality to Ace and is a perfect fit for his comedic style. His ability to infuse the character with humor and heart makes him a standout character in the movie.
#9 Brian-Death at a Funeral (2007)
In the British dark comedy Death at a Funeral, Hart plays Brian, a neurotic man in love with another character’s cousin. Brian’s loud personality permeates every inch of every scene he’s in.
Hart’s genius facial expressions amplify the humor of each situation Brian encounters. Brian’s obsession with a hallucinogenic drug creates one of the most humorous scenes. As he tries to navigate the funeral while entirely out of his mind, the audience is left in stitches.
As Brian’s drug-induced trip intensifies, his already high-pitched voice becomes even more exaggerated. He unleashes an unforgettable monologue that is one of the funniest Kevin Hart moments ever.
Hart plays Jimmy Callahan, a professional best man-for-hire in the movie The Wedding Ringer. Callahan helps socially awkward grooms create the illusion of having a group of loyal friends.
Hart is hilarious, delivering wit and energy, hilarious one-liners, and physical comedy that perfectly balance the character’s confidence and vulnerability. One amazing scene is when Jimmy teaches the groom how to do a choreographed dance routine to surprise the bride.
However, their performance goes ridiculously awry as they struggle to keep up with the dance moves. Jimmy saves the day by jumping in and leading the dance. He delivers some unbelievably witty lines as he shows off his exceptional dance moves. This includes a not-to-be-missed impression of Michael Jackson’s moonwalk.
#7 Bernie-About Last Night (2014)
In the movie About Last Night, Hart plays Bernie Litgo, the best friend of Danny Martin, played by Michael Ealy. Bernie is a loud, brash, and unapologetic character who is always ready with a wisecrack or a raunchy joke.
Hart delivers some of the funniest rapid-fire one-liners and clever quips of his acting career in this movie. His interactions with the other characters, especially Joan, played by Regina Hall, generate many of the most amusing moments in the film.
In one scene, Bernie attempts to give Joan some dating advice but ends up making a fool of himself. Hart’s physical comedy in this scene is a doozy. He flails around and makes over-the-top gestures while attempting to prove his point.
#6 Snowball-The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Another hilarious animated standout performance for Hart is in The Secret Life of Pets. Hart voices the character of Snowball, a cute but psychotic bunny who is the leader of a group of abandoned pets living in New York City’s sewers.
Hart brings a manic energy to the role, delivering his lines with a mix of humor and intensity. This performance perfectly captures Snowball’s unhinged personality. Kevin Hart’s ability to use different inflections gives Snowball a distinctive tone, making his lines even funnier.
Hart’s ability to inject humor into every line of dialogue for Snowball makes his performance a masterclass in animated comedy.
Starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell, Get Hard is a comedy about a wealthy but clueless investment banker James King played by Ferrell, who enlists the help of a car wash attendant, Darnell Lewis, played by Hart, to prepare him for a stint in prison after he is wrongfully convicted of fraud.
Hart’s performance as Darnell is so funny because he plays against type. Hart’s facial expressions and over-the-top reactions to the outrageous moments in the film add an extra layer of humor to the already absurd situations.
Plus, his exchanges with Ferrell’s character create hilarious moments as both have a strong background in standup comedy. Additionally, Hart’s capacity to improvise and ad-lib lines on the spot adds to the comedic punch of the film.
Hart plays Calvin Joyner, a mild-mannered accountant caught up in a dangerous CIA mission with his former high school classmate, Bob Stone, played by Dwayne Johnson in the movie Central Intelligence.
This role is hilarious because Hart plays the straight man to Johnson’s over-the-top character, reacting with humor and disbelief to the crazy situations they find themselves in. Hart’s physical comedy is also on point in the movie, with his character getting thrown around in wild action scenes.
In one terrific scene, Calvin attempts to jump through a window but fails miserably, resulting in a hilarious and shocking outcome. Hart’s innate timing, sarcastic remarks, and self-deprecating humor add so much to the film’s comedy.
#3 Franklin “Mouse” Finbar-Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
The movie Jumani features Kevin Hart as Franklin “Mouse” Finbar, a former high school football player who finds himself transported into the body of a short zoologist in the dangerous jungle-themed game world of Jumanji.
In contrast to his usual confident, quick-witted persona, Hart’s character Mouse is nervous and easily flustered. Hart pulls this off spectacularly. His interactions with the other characters, especially Dwayne Johnson’s character, create unforgettable, hilarious moments.
Hart and Johnson’s interactions throughout the movie are priceless.
Hart and Tiffany Haddish star in the movie Night School. It is a comedy about a group of adults who return to high school to earn their GEDs. Hart plays Teddy Walker, a high school dropout who is also a bit of a con artist who tries to cheat his way through school and avoid studying, which creates some fabulous comedic moments.
One great example is when Teddy attempts to use a hidden earpiece during a test but accidentally tunes in to a love radio station. As he tries to focus on the test questions, he begins repeating the radio host’s romantic phrases out loud, much to his classmates’ confusion and his teacher’s frustration (played by Haddish).
Hart makes this character both lovable and hilarious. He is high-energy, with rapid-fire wit constantly being delivered. He carries the movie with his incredible comedic timing and natural charisma.
#1 Nashawn Wade-Soul Plane (2004)
Soul Plane is about Nashawn Wade, played by Hart, a passenger who wins a lawsuit against an airline and uses the money to start his own airline called NWA (Nashawn Wade Airlines). Additionally, the movie features an all-star cast, including Method Man and Snoop Dogg.
While the movie is packed from start to finish with hilarity, one of the funniest scenes is when he accidentally ingests some marijuana brownies and hallucinates that he is speaking with the plane’s captain, played by Snoop Dogg. While another features Nashawn and a malfunctioning bathroom on the airplane. When he tries to fix the toilet, it results in a series of equally cringe-worthy and side-splittingly funny incidents.
Kevin Hart employs his amazing talent to use body language and facial expressions for emphasis, fast-paced and lively delivery, and nuance and wit to bring both vulnerability and strength to the character.
The one-year anniversary of “Slapgate” is quickly approaching, and Chris Rock is finally speaking out about the incident. In his new Netflix comedy special, the South Carolina native doesn’t hold back while recalling last year’s Oscar Awards, where he was promptly slapped across the face by Will Smith after making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. The Gemini Man actor faced severe consequences as a result of his violent outburst, though he seems to be making his way back into the public’s good graces as of late.
Rock, however, is receiving mixed reviews for some of the comments made during his new stand-up show. His rant about Meghan Markle calling the Royal Family “racist” has earned the 57-year-old backlash for “punching down on Black women,” not to mention the things he had to say about Pinkett Smith and her husband. “Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars. I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for Concussion. And then he gives me a f*cking concussion,” he joked at one point.

Elsewhere in the lengthy Netflix project, Rock claims that Pinkett Smith is actually to blame for starting their beef. “I did some jokes about her. Who gives a f*ck? That’s how it is: She starts it, I finish it,” he told the crowd in Baltimore. “That’s what the f*ck happened. Nobody’s pickin’ on this bitch. She started this shit. Nobody was pickin’ on her.” While the father of two had the opportunity to tell his side of the story, insiders have dished to PEOPLE about what the Red Table Talk host is thinking.
“She never asked Chris to not host the Oscars ever. She publicly said in a Facebook post at the time Chris would be a great Oscars host and is perfect for the job,” they explained to the outlet. Additionally, sources expressed shock at how many times Rock described Pinkett Smith using the word “bitch.” Rather than playing into the drama online, however, the mother of two is “focused on her book that will come out this year.”

Apparently, Chris Rock’s targeting of Pinkett Smith is nothing new. “[He] is obsessed with her and that’s been going on for almost 30 years,” insiders claim. “Look where he chose to film his Netflix special. Her hometown. Obsessed. Jada has had no part in this other than being heckled.” They also add that “Back in 2016, she helped start a movement with the Academy Awards by questioning why there are so few Black members, and Chris took it to this?” Read what Twitter has been saying about the new comedy special here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
