Mar 8, 2023The mainstream liberal media crybabies hate his show because he tell the truth about them.
So they of course give his skit bad reviews.
Chris Rock could care less. -
Mar 12, 2023I just wanted to comment on reviewers that say things like "Liberal Cry Babies", are usually pieces of crap.
So to summarize the special, first 80% was ok but unoriginal. The last 20% was really what everyone was waiting for, and he was raw and ferocious and funny.

On Saturday, March 4, audiences were treated to an hour of the comedian toggling between reactionary and woke gags, along with racial/sexual/cultural observations, before he unloaded on Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith for about eight minutes with a year’s worth of pent-up vitriol. Like his earlier material, Rock’s verbal counterpunches were at times funny, insightful and sometimes righteous. They also included some of the lowest blows ever directed at individuals in the context of an entertainment program.
-
Rock’s signature delivery became a lifeline, elevating the only mildly amusing, and sustaining the breath in even the drabbest material. None of the jokes will rise to the level of iconic, or even memorable, I’m afraid. ... His delivery works when nothing else does—and, in “Selective Outrage,” little did.
-
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.
