"Ladies, doesn't it bother you that you're in here and O.J. is walking the streets?" Rock asks the characters of Orange is the new Black alongside Taylor Schilling's character Piper Chapman during a pivotal moment from the show.

DeGeneres is seen trying her best to bow to Claire Foy's Princess Elizabeth from The Crown. The ad ends with both Rock and Chapelle flipping out at how Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven from Stranger Things can crush a soda can with her mind.

"Netflix is a joke. There, we said it. Brand new stand-up specials from Dave Chappelle, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld are coming soon," reads the description.
