Chris Rock’s Best Work in years

I think his best and funniest work since “Bigger and Blacker”. While many probably tuned in to hear his take on the Will Smith Oscar’s slap, the special is so much more than that. It is cutting-edge, smart, and funny. He talks about the state of wholeness and raising kids, and he does end with his very vitriolic and funny account of the slap heard around the world. I have found many of Chris Rock’s specials in the last few years to be very inconsistent. They are filled with some very funny moments, but not enough to make the special great. Not true of this one. It is a tight, funny, and thought-provoking 70 minutes of comedy. I applaud him for his honesty and his sense of humor.
