In the first-ever live stand-up special on Netflix, Chris Rock finally told us how he really felt about what happened at last year’s Oscars.
, Netflix hyped up the special like an old school fight night, albeit one with only a single boxer in the ring.
The first chunk of the special included Rock’s uncensored thoughts about “woke traps,” “safe spaces” and, above all, the “selective outrage” that leads some people to get “canceled” while others get a pass for the exact same behavior. It’s a theme that he returned to again and again throughout the live hour, calling out everyone from January 6th rioters to Meghan Markle for playing the “victim.”
As the end of the hour neared, Rock still had not addressed Will Smith directly, but then, finally, he went there. Ultimately, he came back to the big theme of the hour, saying, “Will Smith practices selective outrage.”
