What We Think

Chris Rock: Selective Outrage leans into comedy over dogma, refusing to preach or pander. The show is far more non-woke than most modern stand-up, showing genuine variety of viewpoint and character rather than a one-note ideological message.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Chris Rock’s stand-up is unapologetically personal and relies on his signature style, not on forced representation or virtue signaling. The special is driven by his candid takes and sharp wit, not identity checklists or bland, ideology-driven characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Rock discusses topics around family, relationships, and society with irreverence, but doesn’t undermine traditional institutions. If anything, he pokes fun at both modern and old-school positions, showcasing a willingness to defy current cultural dogmas without preaching new ones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While clearly critical of certain modern trends, Rock offers a blend of opinions, sometimes skewering left-leaning ideas, sometimes tradition. There’s more diversity of thought than in most contemporary stand-up, though some topics safely skirt debate.
