Chris Rock’s first Netflix special debuts February 14th

[VARNELL HILL]

There's something about these Netflix stand ups that has a slight hint of corniness to it. I can't really explain it but they just....feel weird.

Didn't really enjoy this Chris Rock one at all...the Chappelle ones range from meh to decent...the Katt one was awful.

everything is deemed to be corny these days

is it sort of the same thing I felt when I kinda wished that only black people could see The Boondocks? I liked all of the above, just curious.

As a person who has been to the live events and then seen them on Netflix this is the deal. The 4 specials Chappelle did were based off the same tour set. There are some new jokes thrown in usually to keep it modern but Netflix is stretching the material. I believe the second Rock special will be from the Total Black Out tour as well

my favorite part was when he spotlighted the time dilation effect that technology has had on relationships...it's true, every year in a relationship today is like 5 old ones.

That part was fantastic. I just stared at my girl dead in the eye after that. She was all over me last week cause I didn't text back while I was at work for like 5 hours... (not sure what sparked her cause she's not usually like that). I legit brought up how it was before cell phones and she thought I had six eyes...

I enjoyed it. I’m a family man so that probably played a role.

 

[Chopper]

My top 3 are Rock, Morgan and Burr (although Burr's last special wasn't good, but everything before that was amazing).

Tracy Morgan is one of the most unfunniest ****** in comedy

all of these Netflix, Hulu, etc ‘exclusives’ have a certain unedited, directors cut look and feel to them

not just comedy specials but movies and shows too


Rock talking about marriage was tough to listen to. good set though

 

[Mark Antony]

Tracy got a funny personality but not sure he can deliver a tight 10.

 

[Chopper]

Y’all seen staying alive?

I saw Tracy live about 10 years ago at a smallish club in Orlando. Straight tears man.

1. It took a "group of men" to carry that out.

2. How often do you honestly read/hear of a group of knife-wielding men, or an individual, causing the level of mayhem that solitary shooter causes? There is practically a mass shooting every other month. How many mass knifings have occurred this year?

Breh

I remember when this happened 4 years ago.

It was a group of men with knives though.

Not one guy stabbing dozens

 

[stuntman mike]

i watched it last week. enjoyed it enough and laughed out loud a few times. i liked how uncomfortable he made people feel at last year’s grammys a little more but dude is still really sharp.

 

[1stwitit]

I enjoyed it, I don't think I need to rewatch it though.

 

[ekinskywalker]

Lol I saw that post online bc of all the gun stuff and thought of Chris rock

He skipped the Whole Foods joke.

 

[Nereyda Vuelve Por Dios]

I actually like his delivery now more than his others. I felt he yelled too much and his voiced annoyed. That why I never finished any of his earlier stand ups. Had to watch em in clips.

The punchlines where a bit low hanging fruit. Like it could have been more clever.

With that said. I had a couple of scream of laughter moments. Content wise it was amazing. Rock is still one of the best ever.

 

[onewearz]

i'm real critical when it comes to stand up comedy , ain't never really found CR that funny either but this special was A+ ...

more than one moment where i busted out laughing and hard. maybe being older i can relate to what he was saying more but this is honestly the best i've ever heard from him. of course a few dry, corny parts but very few. definitely worth the hour , especially if you can relate ...

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

This was great. Some real gems throughout but especially towards the end when talking about divorce.

 

[Teknoman]

Chris Rock is washed. Special was meh. Had a few chuckles and that's it.

Prefer Dave Chappelle and Katt Williams.
