This is not funny. It is similar in many ways to the last Marlon Wayans special. Its all on making the punchlines based on lots of yelling and physicality and being extremely vulgar, often telling long stories or his political commentary without a "joke" or any attempts of funny in sight. Only yelling and ranting. You can see people in the crowd being uncomfortable, barely anyone truly laughing.
Perhaps this works with drunken college crowds unable to understand anything more complicated but in general its just plain lame. None of his "jokes" are even close to the likes of Hedberg, Bo, Burr, Black etc... where theyre written smart, witty and structured intelligently to catch you unprepared. Jokes work best with contrasts, with original observations, with surprise.
This special is nothing but on the nose quasi-jokes, lots of vulgarity without being funny, lots of unnecessary yelling and him trying to provoke people into laughing by going into various extremes.
But there is nothing intelligent, quality funny or original here. Sad lame special for which he'll be payed millions while there are so many better comics out there being overlooked for promoters easy pay days of this nonsense.
Unsurprisingly, most the jokes are political, and while political jokes can be funny, they feel a bit dated. Maybe if this was released 5 years ago it would have hit a bit harder. Also, perhaps related to the age, it feels like a lot of the jokes are borrowed (or maybe he's re-telling his old jokes). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's stealing jokes, and I'm not big into comedy, yet even to me many of them sounded familiar.
Would I recommend it? Ya, it's pretty funny, just a little crass for my liking.

- PatzerWhen Chris Rock is delivering a routine about Will Smith, at one point he accidentally mentions Emancipation (2022) (which he talks about later) instead of Erschütternde Wahrheit (2015). As the broadcast is live, he admits his mistake, saying: "No, not Emancipation; I fucked up the joke. Concussion."

Chris Rock: Four easy ways to get attention.
[one]
Chris Rock: Number one easiest way to get attention, show your ass. Show your ass! You will get attention, even if you don't got ass! That's the world we live in. It's why Blac Chyna has more followers than Gayle King. 'Cause Chyna is showing that ass.
[two]
Chris Rock: Number two easiest way to get attention is to be infamous. Yeah. Do some fucked up shit. Shoot up a school. Try to stab Dave Chappelle at a show. That's right, infamy. You will get attention.
[three]
Chris Rock: Number three easiest way to get attention, to be excellent. That's right. Like Serena Williams, greatest tennis player to ever play the game. Absolutely excellent! Being excellent will get you attention, but it's hard being excellent. You gotta get up in the morning. You gotta work out. You gotta practice. It is much easier to show your ass.
[four]
Chris Rock: And the number four easiest way to get attention is to be a victim. It's like "Where he going with this?" Don't get me wrong, there's no victim-shaming going on. No. No, no, no, no. There are real victims in this world. There are people that have gone through unspeakable trauma, and they need your love, your support, and they need your care. But if everybody claims to be a victim when the real victims need help, ain't nobody gonna be there to help them, okay? Right now, we live in a world where the emergency room is filled up with motherfuckers with paper cuts.
