Synopsis

The central subjects of Paper Tiger are cancel culture, the Me Too movement,[1][3][4] people who spread misandry under the guise of feminism, Burr's anger issues and childhood, Elvis Presley's legacy of cultural appropriation, and Burr and his wife having to give up their beloved but "deranged" rescue pit bull when his wife became pregnant.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an 86% rating from critics.[5] Forbes compared Paper Tiger to Dave Chappelle's 2019 special Sticks & Stones, saying that both specials are framed as a backlash against outrage culture.[6]
