Chris Rock also won two Emmys for this special, which just goes to show that Chris Rock was on top of the world when he did this, and it’s still his biggest and best performance to this day.Ĭhris Rock is an icon who is still striking it big today with most recently Fargo and the next Saw movie, Spiral, coming next. It’s the kind of searing comedy that only a black person (and probably only Chris Rock) could ever get away with, and even after all these years, it still hits hard today. His most famous bit from the show concerns regular black people and the more hood black people who Rock suggests mess everything up for all other black people. He practiced his routine for two years doing stand-up, only to deliver one of the most bombastic and scorching stand-up performances of all time. So he wanted to do one last really big comedy special to go out on a bang. It’s hard to believe, but at the time (1994), Rock actually thought he was on the way out. Bring the Pain is the quintessential Chris Rock performance, and there’s a good reason why.
