A lot of people can roast for a few minutes that’s not saying anything but a whole one hour nah. That takes talentThat was a long time ago
But I do think Kev is real life funny as hell,maybe he just needs to realize standup is no longer his thing. Doesn't mean he can no longer be classified as a comedian. Some people just only have one or two specials in them.
Gotta disagree hereI'm not talking about the Chappelle Show - I'm referring to his Netflix standup(s). I don't remember a single joke from the latter two - and I'm a person that could quote his early standups damn near word-for-word - especially Killin Them Softly. Them going viral doesn't mean they were funny - their appeal was largely that "Dave was back" - I was watching it with groups of people - were they engaged? Yes. Were they laughing? No.
He's no longer as funny *and* cerebral as he used to be - Dave was damn near telling the future in his early stand-ups - he's just making regular mid-comedy takes of current affairs at this point. Still pretty good. But I found Katt Williams more engaging recently - which let me know it wasn't my comedy taste that had changed
He'll always be funnier than Kevin Hart by virtue of actually trying to make *point* with this standup. And succeeding with it.
What you're saying is something that I've begrundigly had to accept. Early 2000s Dave Chappelle is the funniest comic of all time, and not even he can top what he did.I'm not talking about the Chappelle Show - I'm referring to his Netflix standup(s).

I just made a whole post praising Dave but damn if bolded ain't the truthWhat you're saying is something that I've begrundigly had to accept. Early 2000s Dave Chappelle is the funniest comic of all time, and not even he can top what he did.
Killin Them Softly is a masterpiece.
I watched all his Netflix shyt, I watched both his SNL bits, I watched everything Chappelle related in the last 4 years of his comeback, and that shyt just ain't hitting
That "so I punched her in the p*ssy" joke was so lame I couldn't belive my GOAT was doing hack shyt.
Also the cigarettes have destroyed his high pitched "Damn look at them tiddies!!!" high pitched delivery which made his great jokes even funnier.
I still have a bootleg of him in 2014 from Radio Music City Hall in NYC, he was incredible.
Somehow he decided to get white people and burgoise blacks as his audience, those new specials just don't hit
Killin Them Softly - 2000
Elephant in The Room, Patrice O'Neal - 2010
Bill Burr - Paper Tiger 2019
Earthquake "about Got damn time" - 2001
(Corey Holcomb live in Boston is great material, just poorly shot)
Are the best comedy specials I've seen this century.
Breh I legit have Eartquake in my top 5.I just made a whole post praising Dave but damn if bolded ain't the truth
But you gotta consider that earlier Davw fans contained the precursor to the shea butter twitter types(those same boujie nikkas)and he ALWAYS had a huge white audience. Who you think buying all them $200 tickets?
And that Earthquake
