Chris Rock said what a lot of people were thinking
“Selective Outrage”: The Rise and Fall of the Adele — Chris Rock’s Last Show at the X-ray Box Office
In the first half of the special, Chris Rock dealt with a wide array of topics including addiction, abortion, racism in America, and the “wokeness” of the royal family.
Rock will be screening his latest special, “Selective Outrage”, on Saturday, in what will be the first live global event to stream on Netflix. A teaser trailer for the special shows Rock sitting in a dressing room when he gets a knock at the door, announcing, “Chris, they’re ready for you.”
A group of White guests said how shocked they were at the presidential election’s results at an election night party in a skit.
After mentioning Will Smith on stage at the Academy Awards, Rock saved his jokes until the end of the show.
“Wife still mad at ya, ain’t she?” Rock made a joke. Is it a good idea to drive back to Connecticut to a mean woman? I may as well keep doing the show and not say a word. I am very fond of you honey. I’ve been there, Dave. I get sick on the road. If my wife is angry with me, I add a few shows.
Rock said that if you are in a relationship, you are in a band. Roles that you play in the band are what you play in a band. Sometimes you sing and sometimes you play the tambourine. You have to play the tambourine right, nobody wants to see a mad tambourine player.
It was about fame. If O.J. wasn’t well-known, he’d be in jail right now. “If O.J. drove a bus, he wouldn’t even be O.J. He’d be Orenthal, the Bus Driving Murderer.”
Rock said that he was getting hit by Shug Smith. “It still hurts. I got ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears. I’m not a victim, baby. You’ll never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying … I took that hit like Pacquiao.”
“I have no problem with the wokeness. I have no problem with it at all. I’m in favor of social justice. I’m in favor of marginalized people having their rights. “I have a problem with the amount of outrage that is focused on what’s happening in the world.” “You know what i’m talking about. One person gets canceled for doing something. Somebody else does the exact same thing, nothing. I’m talking about people who play Michael Jackson songs but won’t play R. Kelly. Same crime, one of them just has better songs.”
We have it worse than Ukraine. I said that. You know why? The comedian said that becauseUkraine is unified and America is not, it makes sense. Half the country would say, “let’s hear them out” if the Russians came here. We are in a bad place right now.

He said he was trying to date women his age, which was 10 to 15 years younger than him. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game. I didn’t get rich and stay in shape to talk about Anita Baker. I’m trying to f— Doja Cat.”
The event started in Los Angeles, where Ronny Chieng told the crowd that they are doing this for a cause and that nobody would have cared if they pre-taped it. In fact, if you listen hard you can hear Baby Boomers canceling the last cable subscription packages.”
