Dave Chappelle's 2019 Netflix comedy special Sticks & Stones was met with a good deal of criticism.

Some folks didn't like the jokes the comedy legend made at the expense of victims of sexual assaults and members of the LGBTQ  (aka "The Alphabet People.)

Nevertheless, Sticks & Stones took Creative Arts Emmys for directing, writing of a variety special and best variety special.

In his acceptance speech, Dave told his critics to kiss his whole asshole.

"Boy, comes as a complete surprise. I mean, I read all the reviews and they said so many terrible things. They were embarrassed for me. I lost my way. It wasn't even worth watching," said. "I hope all you critics learn from this. This is a teachable moment -- shut the f*ck up forever!"
