Audiences, by and large, seem to be loving the British funnyman’s new special, which Netflix summarizes as follows. “Ricky Gervais gives his take on the rules of comedy, spoiling his cats, and how super actual nature is in his second Netflix stand-up special.”has a strong 92 percent audience score. Critics, however, have excoriated the special, giving it an abysmal 14 percent score.
Regarding Chappelle’s special, Sarandos continued: “Rarely do you get the opportunity to put your principles to the test. It was an opportunity to take somebody, like in Dave’s case, who is, by all measure, the comedian of our generation, the most popular comedian on Netflix for sure. Nobody would say that what he does isn’t thoughtful or smart. You just don’t agree with him.”
People can stop being soft and realize what a joke is
This is awesome. Nothing wrong with what either comedian said. Most people who are critical haven't seen either comedian's specials.
