I agree with this 100%.
Chris rock is the better stand up comedian, but Dave seems like funnier person (judging by their shows and their interviews)
Eddie Murphy's the GOAT tho, imo
I prefer Chapelle >Rock stand up I think he has Rock at every category as a comedian tbh

His charisma works for him, that's why he can do 3 hours on stage with no material, it's funny watching him smoke a cigarette for some reason
Black stabd up comedy has been flabbynsick since he hasn't been as active.

some of us were Chappelle fans before half baked
Some, but not many.
I find the colis knowledge on stand up is very limited, I mean TS talked about modern goats and named Kevin hart and katt Williams, but maybe he's only talking about black comedians?

I feel you. Everyone has their reasons why they don't feel or do feel a comedian. I just feel like Rock became so popular because he said a lot of stuff Caucasoid people wanted to say, but couldn't (e.g.,black people versus nikkas). I remember in 7th grade my white science teacher thought Chris Rock was so hilarious. I peep game now.
I never found anything profound about his social commentary, but I'm a trained sociologist amongst other things. He's not Carlin. He's that dude in the barbershop that rambles on about dumb stuff he "thinks" is poignant and old wives tales -- like, "There's no money in the cure, the money is in the treatment," and other rubbish. Also, for me, I think there is something to be said for humor that is subtle. Dave Chapelle is a master at this, being able to say something funny, but that's actually really insightful on a subtle level in terms of human behavior and psychology. Rock's brand of humor is the polar opposite of that. It's forced, and he beats the audience over the head with his faux social commentary trying to solidify his "point," via screaming and antics. Screaming has never been funny, it wasn't funny when Sam Kinnison did it, and it isn't funny when Rock does it.
He's wack to me, but to each their own.
I never got the Sam Kinison love, maybe I never saw the right show, but that screaming crap was lame.
I felt people liked him cad he was wild abd his antics in real life, plus stern show appearances.

even his interviews are classic
"You see a plane flying over Afghanistan and you don't know whether it's a bomb....or a tasty snack. HOOORAY! It's a food plane! Right here America!"
dude is just a natural, it's not even fair.
