re: Biggest Score Disparities On Rotten Tomatoes

There was a funny juxtaposition between sticks and stones and what may be the most unfunny special I’ve ever tried watch by this fat chick named Hannah Gadsby called Nanette that it’s RT critics score was 100 and fans score was 25...

This was one of the first times that it crystallized for me just how divorced I (and by extension most of America) was from the media/social media/entertainment bubble, the first time it became apparent that the Rubicon had been crossed and there was a permanent diverging of ways.

An hour long "comedy" special, with no jokes, which consisted of an Australian lesbian detailing the miseries of her life and blaming many of them on the idea of comedy itself.

This was universally praised.
This was called "the future of stand-up".
This was called "the death of stand-up".
This was used to shame Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, and a hundred or two hundred more of the most popular, successful, and important comedians of the last 40 years.

And there wasn't a single voice in the bubble offering an objection or even a shred of a rebuttal.
