Damon Wayans Criticizes 'Dave Chappelle's Specials': "Are They Speeches Or Specials?"

[Ziggiy]

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?

Y’all some haters only pocket watching. Damon pretty much put his entire family on his back and gave them all a career.

PUT RESPECT ON DAME DOLLAS NAME

It was Keenan that put the family on his back and actually put Damon on but the rest of your point stands

I’m glad an OG said this, for some reason coli breh think we’re dumb or we don’t understand comedy for voicing that same opinion

Exactly, these bozos are fukking weirdos. Acting like society has stood exactly the same since Carlin was alive. The gay mafia is more powerful than most groups in society today. No one gives a damn who anyone phuks anymore, so it's not even about equality at this point. It's about power and ruthlessly exercising that power.

White liberals always promote diversity, when what it really means is a bunch of people who LOOK different but think exactly the SAME.

That's not true diversity.

This is what it's all about. Power and wielding of power. A good example is Bill Burr. He spends a good 65% of his specials talking shyt about women. Some women may get offended, but women groups are not actively trying to cancel and silence him for making jokes.

I guarantee if Bill Burr spent the same amount of time making fun of LGBTQ as he does women, the usual suspects would be screaming bloody murder. It would be all over the media that Bill Burr is a misogynist and his comedy is encouraging violence towards women.

Imagine a group making up less than 5% of the population having more power than a group making up 50% of all humanity. shyt is absolutely crazy and that is coming from someone who was standing up for equal gay rights when it wasn't cool.

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?

The hell he isn’t. You should say he’s not that funny to YOU, because everything Dave has done made me laugh more than anything Carlin has done, and I’m a Carlin fan. Carlin never really made me laugh though. A lot of the stuff about “doing speeches” could actually apply to Carlin’s comedy.

Yeah I can understand what Damon is saying, nobody wants to be preached to all the time.

Dave has a right to his opinion about whatever, but it seems like all he does these days is vent about politics.

This like watching family fight. I refuse to pick a side.

You can tell it's personal with the usual suspects. Dave hit a nerve.

I said at this point in their careers (in their 50s) and yes that is my opinion. Overall I got Dave ahead of Carlin on my list of Comedy GOATs but his last few specials IMO have been trash and not funny. I get a few chuckles but nothing more and the wisdom he think he bestowing is not that moving or thought-provoking. Like I said with the social, political and economic turmoil of the world we are in, Dave has a lot of material to pull from but he’s sticking with trans/LGBTQ and the shyt just ain’t that funny to me or something I care about enough to hear a nikka speak on for an hour

The truth done got yall tight as a bytch

Dave is 48. His life isn’t the same as if was when he was 28. So naturally, his content and style would have changed.

And he was never an over the top comic anyway.

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.

nikkas about to dodge this post like responsibilities

Watching this in full context there’s no hate whatsoever. Also there is a important disctinction he made, he said ‘they’ are blurring the lines, not Dave. It being a speech isnt the problem. It’s Netflix just tossing out stuff and watering down Dave’s brand—-which as much as I like it, clearly kist be happening as people in here are saying Dave ‘fell off’ or are rolling their eyes at his content

And the comment comes from one of the few people on earth with the bonafides to even say it. Damon an OG too.No one, not jay z, Diddy, Denzel etc, should reach the point of being beyond reproach. At least n out at this age. Dave only 48. Like bruh he not 70 on some dikk Gregory status yet. He gotta have peers and not just yes men and dikkriders. He can, and should, still bleed.

This was needed and I think it will be for the greater good. Dave is human after all and judging by his recent speeches/specials he may be feelin himself too much. In his past specials he’d say stuff like ‘You know I’ve been this gifted since a child ….I do the punchline before the joke I’m dope…I am what some people would call the goat ’ but it was said comedically and it was funny.

In this one tho (which Damon didn’t even see but accurately accounted for) Dave literally said ‘no one will ever do this like me again’. It’s like damn bruh that’s what we doin.

I can't believe supposed black people are really in here shytting on Damon Wayans (or Chappelle for that matter).
