Chris Rock Selective Outrage Twitter Reactions are living for the drama that ensues the latest Netflix stand-up comedy special that was released on 5th March 2023. Comedy icon Chris Rock took the stage in Baltimore, Maryland and has a runtime of about 1 hour and 6 minutes. The show is produced & directed by Joel Gallen.
The whole stand-up was streamed live on the streaming platform without any cuts or edits. There was also a The Show Before the Show pre-show, hosted by Ronny Chieng with Arsenio Hall, Leslie Jones, Deon Cole and more. It included live commentary from fellow comedians and special messages from some of Rock’s friends including Cedric The Entertainer, Ice-T, Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Matthew McConaughey, Sir Paul McCartney, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, and more.
This is Rock’s second Netflix stand-up special after Chris Rock: Tamborine, which debuted in February 2018. The latest special talks about his take on non-racist yoga pants, spoiling his kids, the Kardashians and his thoughts on the Will Smith fiasco.
Rock started his set by not wanting to offend anyone today and shared his thoughts on the title ‘Selective Outrage’. Furthermore, he points out how brands use woke terms to sell their highly expensive products and Lululemon’s yoga pants come up, whose advertisement claim to not tolerate any kind of racist or hateful act but definitely forgets to take the people’s bank balance into consideration.
Some of the most highlighted parts from the set were Rock’s response to Will Smith’s slap at the Oscars. The comedian didn’t shy away from taking digs at both Smith and his wife Jada as he dished on their open relationship. The majority of the viewers are living for this moment & expressing their amusement in the best way – through memes.

Another name that’s getting the limelight is Duchess Meghan Markle after Rock called her out on just having in-laws problems instead of facing racism. He points out that the Royal family is the one that created colonialism, so what more she could have expected from them? These statements are dividing the public, as they state that Rock specifically makes fun of people of his community only.
While many are pointing out the fact that Rock decided to do his show in Baltimore when he could have done the same anywhere in the USA. Some make the connection that Jada is from there, and that’s why he chose it.
