Chris Rock usually makes me laugh and think. I think his work has been genius.
Yet, I have to say that this is the first special of his that I did neither -- really laugh
or really think.

I'm sayin though
Just for comparison:
Rock: "WE NEED BULLIES!, WE NEED BULLIES!!
Chappelle: "These comedians have a responsibility to talk wreckless, otherwise, my kids will never know how it sounds. They'll never know the joy of being wrong...I didn't come here to be right...I came here to fukk around."
Rock's joint wasn't that deep. That's another thing: if you're not gonna make me laugh, or at least make me think, you're wasting my time
This contrast example is right on point.
I used to think that Chris was the more aggressive thinker than the sillier, weed-head Chappelle.
It's like they've exchanged bodies, and Chappelle now brings the more incisive observations.
That was solid. Got good once he started on kids and divorce.
I liked Dave's better, Dave shyt hit harder with the truths but this was good.

Dave had 4... Chris only has 1... we don't know what he saved for part 2...
good standup, like it way better than kill the messenger, although my main gripe w/ KTM was the bad editing between the sets, and not really the content itself. Had a lot of funny moments.

God don't make me mistakes was a dud, it had no depth it was a weak attempt to be a contrarian which based his whole joke on "rest".
Black Men endangered species was done by Spike Lee's movie "get on the bus"
Teaching about white people had no point, really stupid and the epitome of not funny. It was sophomoric at best.
That's just 3 of 4,021.

Kinda felt like the first Dave Chappelle Netflix special where it was bold, challenging and gave some good insight with political commentary......but wasn't funny.
The difference between them is that I've never found Chris Rock funny while Dave is hilarious. I think people enjoy Rock cause of his voice and delivery but overall...shyt was meh. Didn't get a single laugh

I thought it was hilarious!
In comparative terms, after Chappelle's, this is the funniest stand-up routine that I have watched in forever.
The bits about Divorce, Court, Children and the realities of being a man, and black is as real as it will get.
Rock does miss the mark on a few of his joke deliveries, most notably the segment about bullies that
people mentioned above me and the part about Mississippi and life in Jamaica.
If Chappelle's, two most recent specials are a 10 and placed him as the GOAT in my opinion, Rock isn't
far behind with a solid 8 with this first one.

What I meant was it felt a little weird hearing him say we need bullies on the same day as what happened at the school in Florida breh.
Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. It was a little too cynical for my taste. But I'll finish it today
This is where you're wrong. He had a part about bullies and he had a part about gun control and mass shootings.

I Didn't really care for this one at all, I just hope his other specials are better.
I never said he didn't. I really fail to see what you're trying to argue. I've given my thoughts and I stand by them
