We told you earlier this month that there’s a very sharp contrast between how critics and viewers are handling Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special “Sticks and Stones.” And now the media is starting to notice, as evidenced by this CNBC headline and story:

Dave Chappelle's Netflix special is offending critics, but viewers don't seem to care. https://t.co/0oRrjKDZjk — CNBC (@CNBC) September 14, 2019

Heh.

Pretty much sums it up. https://t.co/xfn13hBBx6 — Scott Lincicome (@scottlincicome) September 14, 2019

It sure does!

Viewers don't care what critics think the same way critics don't care what viewers think. — I don't know you, either (@Idontknowyouei1) September 14, 2019

That's because critics think too highly of themselves. https://t.co/eIZTph6zhl — Robert (@Computron34) September 14, 2019

“Offending critics” Nobody cares about them — Paddy O’Dhonnabhain (@ODhonnabhain) September 14, 2019

Might be because the viewer isn't paid to be perpetually offended. — BSF (@BSF_75) September 14, 2019

Here’s a quote from the article that shares one bit of criticism of Chappelle’s stand-up:

OMG They think they don't talk about LGBTQ and specifically Trans issues enough Trump is going to be President forever https://t.co/jpookRfGm1 pic.twitter.com/WVA1vFPWM3 — TheClarence (@TheClarence5) September 14, 2019

Do “critics” know how to party or what?
