But he’s nowhere near as funny as Carlin (at this point in their careers) and he not really saying shyt by attacking LGBTQ shyt. nikkas don’t care about the shyt like that but his white friends do. Carlin even spoke on comedians doing what Dave doing by “punching down” and going after gays.




Dave still a GOAT and blessed us for years with comedic gold but nothing wrong with saying he fell off or not nearly as funny as he used to be. He in his 50s and rich as fukk.

Edit : why my shyt crossed out? :francis:
A lot has changed since Carlin was speaking about Clay in the 1990s.

I'm not disputing that. But this seems like an attempt to keep his name out there, instead of actually releasing projects.

Millennials Ana Zoomers are obsessed with the word relevant. Damon wayans was so irrelevant he was starring on a hit remake of lethal weapon on network tv that he himself quit. :martin:

For people that think Damon was shytting on Chappelle if you WATCH the video Wayans said that “There is no doubt that Dave Chappelle is the comedian of this generation. He’s smarter than I am. He’s braver than I am right now”.

Damon is saying that he’a not sure that EVERYTHING that Chappelle is putting out should be qualified as a stand up special (referring to the speech that Netflix put up) and he’s questioning if the network is simply putting up stuff in his name.


The fact is that Netflix gave Chappelle $60 Million Dollars, and they also took his side during his fight over the rights to the Chappelle show. In exchange for that money and support you goddamn RIGHT their going to milk the Chappelle brand for all its worth. This comes with the territory when your hot and Chappelle has been RED HOT in terms of popularity the past 7 years. The controversy only adds to his celebrity. I’m surprised that anyone finds this at all questionable or weird. Netflix is doing what Netflix is SUPPOSED to do and Dave is signing off on it and cashing them checks. Its a win/win.


The network will use you as long as yiu have value. Its up to YOU to use the network and Chappelle has the Netflix CEO telling transexuals and LGTBG people who are mad or upset to basically kick rocks. Think about that. A straight BLACK MAN is being defended by a white CEO of a NETWORK STREAMING GIANT. If that isn’t playing the game to perfection then somebody PLEASE show me any entertainer on the planet whose playing it better.

He been hanging around Joe Rogan too much, looking for CAC validation has ruined his comedy.
There's so much cheerleading on the Coli for Dave that people rarely address this. This man's social circle went from being comedians we respect to a piece of shyt podcaster who has made multiple racist comments in the past (and entertained race IQ peddlers), and a South African billionaire whose family owned an emerald mine during the Apartheid era. What is going on. And while I liked some of the specials, most of it isn't funny. He's not even trying to tell jokes most of the time, it's just these weird rants about what he thinks he can and can't say. You'd think the allure of "cancel culture" would die when he realized he was 5 specials in, with no real pushback or threat to making money. Still getting specials, still getting booked at massive venues...I don't want to hear about cancel culture shyt man because your success proves it doesn't exist for most entertainers.

It's time we reckon with the fact that this faux free speech shyt is NOT good for black people. These people literally just want to say the n-word, denigrate Jews, gay people etc. That may be fine for Dave since he won't be impacted by the real world consequences but this shyt isn't wavy. I still "like" Dave overall, I just wish he'd get back to actual comedy.

The nikka said there is no doubt Dave Chappelle is the comedian of our generation.

And then shares his opinion about the speeches vs specials.

Did any of you losers actually watch the video before getting all emotional and angry? :mjlol:

nikkas came rushing in trying to shyt on Damon Wayans.

:scust:
This also applies to booty bandits rushing in to shyt on Dave for telling fakkit jokes, even tho Damon didn’t even mention that stuff

He’s Damon wayans. He fukking quit cause he realizes he’s not a cac and he’s rich so why is his diabetic ass doing 16 hour days?

Pocket watching? My dude you need to take a midol and calm the fukk down. You spelled Keenan wrong...He's the one who put the wayans family on the map. He ain't have to like Cac Crawford, but he could have put that nonsense aside and got the bag. Lethal weapon was one of the best shows on TV and Damon's emotional ass contributed to it's demise...Shoulda ate a couple cookies and shut the fukk up. :birdman:

It's not about going after Gays, there's a lot more nuance involved. Drag queens shouldn't be in classrooms with small children. First graders shouldn't be taught about any type of sex, unless it's the parents teaching them. Pedophiles should not be referred to as "Minor Attracted Persons". We shouldn't be called transphopic for rejecting the ridiculous notion that men can get pregnant. Saying men can't get pregnant is NOT a violent act.


You see where I'm going with this?

I don’t give a fukk about any of that though.

And this is what Daves last two specials hve been focused on and that’s why they ain’t been for me. There’s a lot more going on in culture/society from a social, political and economic perspective that Dave can touch on but he’s punching down on LGBTQ cause that’s the crowd his white fan base going after, which Carlin pointed out.

Damon is right...

Dave has gotten more preachy rather than funny...a symptom of being old I guess.

Older Coli nikkas love Dave cause he comes across as a grumpy man that constantly complains about society changing to his disapproval whether it be for better or worse.

Now the Coli about to shyt on The Wayans family :childplease: who has done more for Black comedy (comedy in general rather) than Chappelle.

Chappelle is grossly overrated on this site, yes he's funny but not THAT funny as TLR makes him out to be. I never really been all that impressed by his comedy even back during his prime years, etc.
I don't really mind the grumpiness, but be funny.

Dude ain't funny anymore, he's just complaining.
