Almost a year ago today, on March 27th, Chris Rock made Oscar history by being the recipient of the slap heard around the world. And, tonight, on the first ever live Netflix Is a Joke comedy special, he made history again with Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. There were jokes about Elon Musk, Lululemon, Will Smith, dating, and much much more.
Twitter reacted to Selective Outrage mostly with a large shrug. But, here are the best Chris Rock memes and tweets from the special and celebrity-packed pre and post-show.
And, yes, if you’re wondering, this was indeed being marketed like a presidential debate. Or a boxing match. Starring… this time just Chris Rock.
