Jerry Seinfeld: Dave Chappelle's 'SNL' monologue 'calls for a conversation

[jilla82]

How long before we see Chappelle make a hostage like apology video?

People make black jokes ALL the time. Of all cultures. Whether over the top or rooted in reality. Funny or cringe. Any body can get it in comedy.

If Seinfeld did it, it wouldn't even make sense because it's so off brand. Chappelle is known for this type of comedy. Hell, it might not fly of any other comedian said it on TV, regardless of race.

And to be completely reasonable, a white comedian could have told that same joke about Jews with minimal tweaking for the n word and the specifically black commentary about the chains.

I love it but they’ll never ever want to hold a real convo with Farrakhan

fukk your feelings

 

[MarcMan]

I remember when Seinfeld was caping for Michael "Kramer" Richards after he called black people n****rs and boasted that his people used to hang us.

fukk what Seinfeld talking about

Doug Stanhope went in on the Jews in his bit

I have no issues with what Dave said

 

[VertigoKnight]

They have to realise that Chappelle relishes these kind of conversations.

As always John Stewart making sense.

“Dave said something in the ‘SNL’ monologue that I thought was constructive, which he says, ‘It shouldn’t be this hard to talk about things,’ ” he said. “Whether it be comedy or discussion or anything else, if we don’t have the wherewithal to meet each other with what’s reality, then how do we move forward?”

“If we all just shut it down, then we retreat to our little corners of misinformation and it metastasizes” Stewart added. “The whole point of all this is to not let it metastasize and to get it out in the air and talk about it.”

I’m happy so many people see the truth

Have to keep it 100 here.
Don't know how Seinfeld operates privately.
But when Louis CK was shucking and jiving and comfortable enough to say N in front of Chris Rock publicly, he was the only white guy in the room that didn't laugh, and called him on it. Stood up more than Chris Rock did.
Also called out "Kramer" right after his public racist rant using the same slur.

Using that slur is offensive & doesn't come close in comparison to Chappelle making jokes about jews in Hollywood. EVERYBODY can be made fun of. But Seinfeld is at least consistent.

he said it best.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

There’s nothing they can do to Dave. He wouldn’t let them embed him into the system when they tried to way back on ‘03. Dude’s got his own land and more money than he and his family will ever spend in generations.

Plus he already told the crowd at the beginning of the SNL monologue, he’s getting tired of it all anyways

But I’m not sure what Seinfeld means by what he’s saying when he was the first major comedian to come out about cancel culture anyways

When did he Cape for Kramer ?

He told the laugh factory to keep him away and he said he felt sorry for all the foks that kramer offended

Unless I missed something

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

I did think the comedy was well-executed,” the 68-year-old comedian told the outlet. “But I think the subject matter calls for a conversation that I don’t think I’d want to have in this venue.

It provokes a conversation which hopefully is productive,” he continued when asked if the comments made him “uncomfortable.

This doesn't read like a negative reaction.

 

[duncanthetall]

I don’t care.
