The “Tomatometer” — a score that’s a percentage of the professional critics that liked a work — showed only one third of top critics (nine in total) gave a positive review for Chappelle’s wildly popular Sticks and Stones.

In strong contrast, the “Audience Score” on Rotten Tomatoes shows as of this writing 9,370 individuals’ reviews found 99% liked Chappelle’s special.

“Top Critic” Inkoo Kang derided Chappelle’s politically incorrect set.

“Like dropping in on a rascally uncle who doesn’t know, or doesn’t care, how much he’s disappointing you,” wrote Inkoo in her review for far-left U.S. publication Slate.
