While Simon was blown away by Axel's gags about the pandemic and his pregnant girlfriend, some viewers were up in arms that he got the coveted golden buzzer.
One branded the decision a fix, pointing out that Axel already has a stand-up show on streaming service Amazon Prime - just as last night's golden buzzer, singer Loren Allred, was already a famous singer.
One vented: "So last night there was a golden buzzer for a singer with net worth of 2 million and a song in one of the biggest movies to ever exist and tonight's golden buzzer was an award winning comedian who has an amazon prime show??? wtf is happening this series?"
"Fed up of professionals getting golden buzzer now," said another.

Some viewers didn't mention any unfair advantage, but were not impressed with the material.
"What a waste of a golden buzzer!" one fumed on twitter.
"Lovely bloke but not funny," a second added.
Another was even more brutal, branding Axel "funny as piles".

Another joked that Simon was swayed by the fact that Axel works as a kitchen fitter when he is not being a comic.
"He must really want a discount on his kitchen," joked a fan.
