Omfg, Chris Rock had Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson jokes?! My original take stands lol. Thank fuck I didn't waste my time with it. Also glad my opinion is somewhat vindicated by my guy Lewis about Rock's delivery, just so obnoxious.

Disclaimer: this is not a personal attack to those who DID enjoy the special. More power to ya. Interesting discussion regarding the reception in the vid anyway.

Why watch someone’s analysis of a comedy special instead of just watching the comedy special itself…

In case you actually care: I sometimes have podcasts on during certain types games and Lewis usually has good takes. In this case he affirmed my suspicions regarding Chris' Netflix special (which I could only muster about 10 minutes of myself before turning it off).

I saw this yesterday. I’m not really a fan of his delivery, but it wasn’t bad. Not great, but not bad. The beginning set the tone for the rest, so no surprises. I appreciate his moderate approach though

I kind of have to agree with the guy in the video. Chris Rock's delivery didn't really work for me - only when he was doing the Will Smith bits. I saw the special and honestly can't remember any of the jokes other than the Will Smith stuff. I felt the same way about his last special Tambourine, which was so forgettable I'm now starting to question whether I even watched it.
