Comedians just HAVE TO talk about the elephant in the room. Trans people just want people to ignore the elephant. Because they're the elephant. They'll never get along.

Like Bill Burr had a bit where he was like if your friend got a bad haircut, you can clown him for a bad haircut. But he shows up in a dress and you just HAVE TO pretend you don't see it. People should accept a trans but don't tell people that we have to pretend it's all regular. It's not but we can get past that.

Like if your friend with a bad haircut reacts poorly to jokes about the hair, the whole crew will go in on him. He gets bullied. But if he laughs and be like yea, but I like it. My wife did it for me. Or something. We'll laugh and be like aight, that's cool. And we all move past it. Trans people react SUPER POORLY and comedians gotta do their job and point it out. Like Daphne just laughed about it and then talked her truth: "I'm experiencing life". Dave respected that and embraced her and tried to help her on her journey. That's real. Trans community had to act high and mighty. So yea, fukk em for that. We gonna go in on you for that one.

Dave put together really well. They going after him and he's not backing down. The topic is too big and the elephant is too obvious. And his friend lost her life because of these hypocrisy and I feel like he did that one for her.

I agree with others in here. This is performance art from a theatric comical point of view at its BEST. Conceptual art at its finest, he used a very real event/vulnerable spot from his own 'human experience' his friendship with Daphne and her 'story' along with the impact on he/shey/they/them/us had on Dave's life and the exchange of love, understanding and comradery ending in a tragic death he perceives to be caused by the same group that's been 'wreaking havoc' on his life/career. He pleaded his case through his gift of 'laugh'. the guy is a master at his craft.. I get it, tackling the beast of 'political' humor in such a refined, sophisticated yet hilarious way is insane. it had the works.. irony, innuendo, slapstick, broad humor etc. There's a comedic genius to political criticism. Got it! At the same time, TIMING and intention is equally important. Knowing when, WHERE and how long to flex your chops.. with his mastery he could have given what he did in and hour into a 8-10 minute segment and kept it pushing. I understand why it was important to him to dedicate an entire special to it in honor of his 'lost'. As the listener/consumer to much of anything (even good) ends of losing its initial luster after awhile.

ya'll complaining about dave spending so much time on the subject when Netflix has the agenda in all of their shows. I wouldn't be surprised if they forced him to spend so much time on the topic.

Been hanging around Rogan too much.

That shyt just reminded me of Rogan like he complaining to much about a none issue. Like Kat Williams said who got canceled that we want to get uncanceled? DaBaby was an a$$hole and doing fukked up shyt before all of this shyt. Just cause black people accepted him don’t mean the gays got to.

Dave loves comedy so I can tell he is frustrated about the way we are heading but sheesh shyt sounds like Joe Rogan preaching on his number 1 podcast how life so hard.

Dave can really make any joke he wants and not be canceled and he spent the whole thing about lbgt shyt. But y’all stans eat this shyt up. The space Jew shyt really wasn’t even a good joke or the Mike pence joke wasn’t even funny.

So now yall coli nikkas deep :mjlol:

I wonder what George Carlin would think....


just saying. Haven't watched the new special yet but Chappelle has been hanging out with some...deplorable people lately...

Quite interesting, the way Reactionaries talk about him even in this very thread you would think the guy was champion of Reactionary comedy, but he was anything but that as this video suggests.


Reactionaries been sullying his name for a while now it seems
