While the critics may not have cared for 'Sticks and Stones,' viewers gave it a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

." Martin pulled no punches when he wrote simply, "'Sticks and Stones' is terrible, and Chappelle can only blame himself for that."

Keith Bergman, a stand-up comedian from Toledo, Ohio, also said that he believes "Sticks and Stones" won't harm Chappelle's career. If anything, he believes that the mean spirited and callous nature of the material was designed to keep viewers engaged, even after they've finished watching. "The Millennial generation, which I'm a part of, has been steadily driving this heightened level of social sensitivity for the past decade," he said. "There are hurtful words, phrases and characterizations that needed to be retired, and I'm glad my generation took the lead on removing them from modern dialogue. But if these sensitive young adults are serious about improving society and the world, they need to learn how to take a joke.

, so those who believe Chappelle won't pay a price for his humor may be onto something. But what about Netflix? Will this special and their ongoing association with the comedian cost them, subscribers? Schoenberger also said that even if Netflix were to decide to end their association with the comedian, he can take the $60 million Netflix has already given him and go to Prime Video, Hulu, or any other streaming service wishing to retain him.
