We told ya'll Dave was one of the realest

I trust that Dave's message and delivery were epic but FYI, the irony is that anyone who watched this video on Instagram is getting pimped for their own data and humanity worse than Dave is being pimped through his contract. I'll wait to see this when it leaks to a more neutral platform. This post only built for real stand-up homies though.

you could use a facebook container to preventing them tracking your activities in other tabs and still get to watch it. see: Facebook Container – Get this Extension for Firefox (en-US)

This kind of thinking blinds you from seeing the bigger picture.

Dave being cheated out of tens of millions of dollars is not the same as you being pimped for your “data”.

I get what your saying but the show is named chappelle show for a reason them marvel movies aint named after gal gadot and Chris Evans Dave did a lot of work created the skits and everything while those actors were casted for there roles they was involved but not as much as Dave in his work

so shop the show to a network that gives a contract more to your liking. He signed the contract. He mentions “not knowing” what it means when it said he was giving away the right to use his likeness in perpetuity. What in the fukk else does he think that means? That’s not exactly hidden language, nor is it difficult to interpret

Maybe he didn’t know what in perpetuity meant?? Go outside and ask 100 random ppl that question and 75 gonna not know the answer.

So figure it out before you sign a binding deal. He wasnt 12 years old. You’re a grown ass man signing a contract.

I hope you don’t live your life and treat people with such a glaring lack of context. If not, I’m going to assume every decision you made after age 18 was pristine, well thought out and effective. No mistakes. None.

Of course that’s not realistic.

The other thing is that the contract was unethical to begin with. There are are plenty of laws on the books that are unethical that fukk us up all the time and just because they’re on paper and official doesn’t make them any less unethical. I mean, look at the Breonna Taylor situation as a good example. The laws are not on the side of justice and we all know that yet the laws will be enacted as written, however unethical they may be.

At the last company I worked for I remember sitting around as an underpaid executive knowing that my white colleagues were making as much as 5 to 6 digits more than me. But I took the role because I needed to at the time.

That shyt INFURIATED ME. Still does when I think back to it.

Chappelle has had to live that feeling EVERYDAY for almost a decade now. And there's nothing he can do about it. Can't even imagine what this nikka has gone through.

...and when you ask how you can get the fat checks too they say “just keep doing what you’re doing”.

You see Cody start...BIG CHECKS!
Riley starts... BIG CHECKS!
Paige starts...BIG CHECKS!

Who trained Cody, Riley, and Paige....YOU!
Who does Cody, Riley, and Paige come to when they need help...YOU!
Who does Cody, Riley, and Paige’s boss go to when he needs help...YOU!’

You know who is the lowest paid on the team...YOU!

I’m living this right now but I’m about to make a move and get away from the glass ceiling.

from the video, Dave had a lawyer to go over that contract with him,




I think the Lawyer was in on the deal that got him fukked,,,,, please correct me if i'm wrong coli brehs

The bit was great but when I’m in the mood to watch a Chapelle Show clip I’ll still head in over to YouTube

 

[Po pimp]

Just peeping some of the comments in this thread. The ones who keep saying “he signed the contract” have a POV consistent with a lot of the comments I see from white people on social media. Makes you wonder...

Good points. I am fairly familiar with your standard entertainment agreements. To your point, if he demanded all of those past the first season, there is no incentive for Comedy Central and Viacom to invest in the Chappelle Show. I agree with reference to Jerry Seinfeld. For those that know Jerry Seinfeld, they say he is a notorious shrewd. My HS English teacher is his first cousin. Dude has always been about his paper so it doesn’t surprise me that he is getting paid for his show in syndication.

Not saying you’re wrong, cuz I admit to not being knowledgeable about contracts in this industry, but did any of his contemporaries get that kind of deal? Like, did Chris Rock get a deal like that for his show with HBO? And Chris Rock was a much bigger name at the time he inked his deal with HBO.

If not, I have a hard to believing Dave would’ve got all that from Comedy Central. Seems much more plausible they would’ve just moved on to the next guy who did agree to their terms. At most, I could see Dave negotiating a single season deal and then demanding all of that when it came time to reup for the second season. This likely would have resulted in a smaller pay day for season 1, but he’d be betting on himself.

There could also be a race angle here too. Take Seinfeld for example...how big was he when he got his sitcom? Did he have ownership from the beginning, or did he get that in later seasons? I think Seinfeld is a good comparison on many levels since Seinfeld is still eating handsomely on his magnum opus. That’s what is likely eating at Dave. The Chappelle Show is the most lauded work of his career, it’s gotta suck to not be getting paid properly for it while you have to smile as everyone you talk to wants to bring it up to you.

Dave really the GOAT comedian and I think it's absolutely clear. Most great comedy has truth and reflection on society in it, but Dave's elevating even farther. He's a comedian for sure, but it almost feels wrong to just put him in that box at this point.

Guess I'm not watching clips from Chapelle Show anymore
Start the revolution Dave
