Chris rock has always been a better stand up comedian than chapelle. Don't know how anybody can see it any differently.
Really? You cannot figure out how anybody could possibly say that Dave is a better standup than Chris? Can't think of any way that is possible?

Anyway, I saw this tour when he came to St. Louis some months ago. It was good, did not think it was the GOAT show, but it was good and I thought definitely better than his last HBO special back in like 2008 or whatever.

Dave is great. Might be the second best stand-up behind Rock.

But Rock to me is the best Stand-Up of all time. Special for special, I think he is better than Pryor and Eddie.

Raising black kids was the theme.
Didn't bash his wife.
Did make some jokes about before you jump out there and go single, look at yourself naked in the mirror. A lot might have changed since you were last single.
Not much on Trump. Said if terrible Bush gave us Obama, Trump will probably deliver Jesus in 2020
Said having Obama in office was like fukking the chick that was way out of your league.
Said he was addicted to porn and took full responsibility for divorce
Said religion is like salt. Only need a little bit. Lots of religious jokes
Lots of white privilege jokes.
Lots of crooked cop jokes

Saw him last night, it was amazing
did he do the
"sorry but cops can't be bad apples...they can be murderers though. Some jobs can't have bad apples, like pilots. Would you get on a plane where the airline advertised they have some 'bad apple' pilots?"
that was one that had me :wow:

I'll be waiting for his special, I think his standup is just as good as chappelles, but I think chappelle is naturally funnier, he can just riff forever. That thing that happened at the bet awards with Dave and DL was fueled by chappelle, Chris rock wouldn't have pushed it into something that funny, that's the difference to me.

Dave is a far more inventive actor
Compare how they hosted SNL
