Chris Rock’s explosive comedy special, Selective Outrage, was edited by Netflix when he botched a joke about Will Smith.

In his most recent stand-up performance, the comic recalled the infamous 2022 Oscars incident in which the Aladdin actor smacked him in the face after he made fun of Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

In the Netflix live performance, Rock joked, “Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars. I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for Emancipation.”

“The biggest piece of [expletive] ever. Okay, so the [expletive] gives me a [expletive] concussion. No, not Emancipation, I [expletive] up the joke. Concussion.”

However, Netflix has edited out the error as viewers noticed that the slip-up has been removed. The editing fix was pointed out by Vulture’s Jesse David Fox, who said it “makes one wonder if there has been other tweaks.”

While another Twitter user said they’d have “kept it as it is’ and compared it to George Lucas going back and changing Star Wars to cram in more CGI.”

Other users were disappointed with the edit, with one person commenting: “@netflix the edit of Chris Rock’s special is a letdown.”
