Edgy, but empty, Sticks and Stones won't break any bones, but it won't elicit many laughs, either.

Sticks and Stones registers as a temper tantrum, the product of a man who wants it all -- money, fame, influence -- without much having to answer to anyone. Sep 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Sticks & Stones exists as a defiant design to intentionally offend large swaths of the audience Chappelle deems too thin-skinned and easily outraged.. while serving up simple, low-bar yucks to anyone yearning for validation of their anti-P.C. stance. Sep 5, 2019 | Full Review…

Like dropping in on a rascally uncle who doesn't know, or doesn't care, how much he's disappointing you. Aug 27, 2019 | Full Review…

There were moments in this special that I can get behind, but there were others that I'm shocked that Netflix gave the go-ahead to. Sep 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

[O]verall, I found the special funny, entertaining, and yes... very edgy. But more importantly, I felt like in the end, the world of comedy benefited from it. Sep 9, 2019 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review…

Ultimately, though, it feels like stale work from a comedian who was once known for truly boundary-pushing comedy - the kind that actually understood nuance, particularly where famous and powerful men were concerned. Sep 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Lacking empathy can certainly be amusing, but Sticks & Stones is a tired routine by a man who forgot to layer jokes into his act, too often sounding like a pundit on Fox News. Sep 4, 2019 | Full Review…

He's one of the few comedians who can really touch on a lot of different sensitive topics and still make it funny. Sep 3, 2019 | Full Review…

There's an overwhelming feeling of the now as you watch "Sticks and Stones." It feels immediate, a plea from one of our very best comedians to his own audience to stop the hysteria. Sep 3, 2019 | Full Review…
