Facts. Sounded like a podcast more then a stand up. The gay, tranny, dyke shyt he spent way too much time on
Comedy doesn't have to be funny, good comedy usually comes from "honesty" and sometimes that honesty translates into being funny or that honesty can be just equally offensive. Or that honesty is just an honest human moment or reflection that is shared with an audience from a different point of view.
We just have different opinions but I thoroughly enjoyed it for his honesty and different point of view.

Music doesn't have to sound good. Art doesn't have to be beautiful. Drama doesn't have to be moving.
My bowel movements don't have to stink like this comedy special.
Get Netflix then, don’t be a broke boy.
Got nikkaz in here saying comedy doesn’t have to be funny
Stand up is an art, and Dave is on stage speaking on the matters that he feels most strongly about.
I'll say I was completely captivated for those 72 minutes. His ability to weave alot of seemingly unconnected events in his life into such cohesive, fascinating stories is just brilliant.

Some of the greatest comics eventually put the 'jokes' on the back burner, as in being funny isn't the main objective. Peace to Bill Hicks.

At this point I dont care how funny his special is I'm always interested to hear what Dave has to say next
People who are saying this special doesn’t have any jokes clearly aren’t listening or need lessons in comprehension. There are plenty of jokes. Chappelle did his special the way he felt like doing it, and used a platform that will reach hundreds of millions to tell a certain community to respect black folks. If you want Cambodian breast milk bits, go watch Chappelle Show 
If Chappelle went up there and told “this ain’t chocolate, this is doo-doo baby” jokes for an hour, people would be in here saying he’s a sellout and not funny, like they do Kevin Hart you can’t please everyone so why try?
Stop punching down on my people

nikkas don’t realize Dave is a Carlin stan, this is 100% late career Carlin
So this is purely subjective… There is no comic greater than Richard Pryor and he never stopped being funny, or started putting jokes on the back burner. He did “Live at the Sunset Strip” after going to Africa and having an epiphany of sorts. That special was still funny.

A lot of "shut and and perform" type comments in this thread
Like I said before, what caused him to go on a hiatus was the realisation that people were not laughing at the satire. They were laughing at the black experience and their image of us.
The second part of his career can be regarded as retaliation. There are points where he gets people to laugh along with the story of a n* named cliff getting shot by the police, and then it transitions into his own experiences and the revelation as much as white people try to call themselves a minority by creating these fringe groups, they will rely on white supremacy to settle disputes.
He then moves to a topic they find sensitive and shines the light on them. Are they still willing to laugh.
It reminded me of the above.
The special didn't split my sides with laughter but there are other metrics for success.
