    Whether or not you buy his theories about how men are, or women are, or what makes a good relationship, or what ails the country, or even accept the premises from which he draws his conclusions, and whether or not this was his finest hour (and eight minutes) of television, Rock remains worth listening to, because there’s nothing casual about what he does, and most important, he knows how to craft and sell a joke. You may laugh even as you’re offended.

    The [post-set] idea was for the comics to lend their expert opinion about each joke – entirely unnecessary, given that they landed as they should have. Besides, the incendiary fervor of the closing segment eclipses the rest of it in the immediate memory. ... Everything that comes before the last 10 minutes of "Selective Outrage" is, by the standards of Chris Rock's show at this point in his career, solid if not especially pointed.

    So they of course give his skit bad reviews.    The mainstream liberal media crybabies hate his show because he tell the truth about them.

    Went from normal to woke in record speed. Was wondering why NetFlix, an evil racist pro slavery company, sponsored this. Now it's clear asWent from normal to woke in record speed. Was wondering why NetFlix, an evil racist pro slavery company, sponsored this. Now it's clear as day. All white people are racist. J6 was an insurrection and not people let in by the police and given a guided tour. Same tired worn out liberal talking points from MSNBC. Seems we forgot what comedy is. Sad to see another victim of group think mentality. The comedians are a dying breed and this is evidence of it.… Full Review »

    Just sorta bland. Another person described it as stale. Second half is better than the first, but overall it just wasn't...that...funny.
