Review site Rotten Tomatoes\u2019&nbsp;\u201ctop critics\u201d granted Chappelle a dismal 33% rating.<\/p>\n<p>The show was embraced widely by his general audience, however, earning the comic an average 96% rating.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the acclaimed critic reviews on the site:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"25\">\n<p><em>He\u2019s \u201crich and famous,\u201d he reminds us. Huge. \u201cClifford\u201d big, he adds. He should start acting like it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Chappelle\u2019s most incendiary, troubling, and unapologetic one yet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The comedian\u2019s new Netflix special \u201cThe Closer\u201d is a panicked defense of controversial past jokes. The humor doesn\u2019t land. Neither does the justification.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Chappelle\u2019s rampant transphobia doesn\u2019t need to be a problem as long as the jokes land, but his obsession with grievances supersedes any pretense of crafting actual humor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What is the function of the court jester? Tell the truth. Sure, it makes us laugh too, but the laughter caused by the jester\u2019s ridiculous behavior is usually a poisoned apple. Dave Chappelle is a good court jester.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, NPR has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/10\/05\/1043435919\/dave-chappelle-new-netflix-special-the-closer-review\">scolded<\/a> Chappelle, a black man, for \u201cusing white privilege\u201d in the special, and GLAAD has suggested Netflix&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/10\/dave-chappelle-glaad-lgbtq-trans-netflix-special-homophobia-national-black-justice-coalition-1234851038\/\">yank<\/a> \u201cThe Closer\u201d from the platform.<\/p>\n<p>The audience, though, loved the special. Over 1,000 high-rated reviews poured in, landing Chappelle a 96% score. Here are some of the top audience comments:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"26\">\n<p><em>He got some folks rocking back and forth in a corner chanting \u201cCancel culture doesn\u2019t exist\u201d with straight jackets on Take a shot at the GOAT, you best not miss.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Loved every minute of it and love how Dave Chapelle speaks his mind freely. Speaks up for us without a voice!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Chappelle is the GOAT! Always pushing boundaries <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dave tells it like it is, and we the people love him for it. These audience scores show the mainstream critics are willfully out of touch with reality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Awesome special, really funny and eye opening. This man\u2019s not only a comic but delivers a Ted like performance and left me wondering and laughing at the same time. All this political backlash is proof of an emotional and butthurt media, do not take this off Netflix. Give it a higher rating, observe the audience score and grow a backbone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pure Comedy Truth.
