It was decent, not his best work. I felt like it was somewhat repetitive of his previous standups.

Man, in just keeping this among his most recent 5 Netflix specials, this is definitely my favorite of the 5.

This is simultaneously the most laugh out loud funny I've seen Dave since Killing Them Softly and For What It's Worth...yet also as introspective with gems and jewels being dropped on some Bird Revelation type shyt.

I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment but this is one of my favorite sets I've seen from any comedian in the 2010's.

I think it's perfectly timed and I love that Dave seems to above being able to be cancelled. Dude never sold his soul and has no advertisers or sponsors that can be bullied by the PC crowd into taking him down. He's beholden to no one. Not only that but I'm glad that people seem to be calling out this cancel culture bullshyt for what it is here.

BTW I was late catching the epilogue and loved the bar he dropped about sitting with the Trans person and them saying "They gave you all that press for normalizing R. Kelly but never gave you press for normalizing us."
:ohhh::wow:

Dave is special, brehs.

I hope Dave don’t try and off himself because of the way society’s heading, some of the things he was saying got me worried :patrice:
I don't think he's built that way. In fact I think the Bourdain joke at the beginning was king of telling, and there were definitely some gems dropped between that and the mass shooting thing about differences between white and black folks. I also think Dave is too interested in observing people and the human condition to ever be that bothered by society. He seems to really be on that George Carlin tip of "I've tapped out of the system and I don't give a fukk. I'm simply on the outside looking in at this point." He also seems to be above getting cancelled or shut down. He doesn't have sponsors or advertisers that can be leveraged. He independently films his shows, and sells them to Netflix (who at least for now) are have largely stayed on the side of free speech. The only thing they did that I thought was :patrice: was them blocking negative reviews of that Amy Schumer special.

Dave gets them a lot of press and views. I think he has an outlet on Netflix to say whatever the fukk he wants for a long time.

Fantastic special with brilliant writing. He left it all out there. Probably as close to a Delirious or Raw special in terms of content that we’ll get in this era.
Bill Burr's upcoming special seems to also be trending towards shytting on outrage culture and cancel culture. The only reason I'm bringing up another comic in a Dave thread is because hopefully the tides can start to turn a little bit and comedians might start to really push back hard against all this bullshyt. That's what I'm hoping for at least.

Am I the only one who likes For What it's Worth better than Killing Them Softly?


The tears he held back talking about the boy who was tried as an adult for the wrestling accident. shyt was so real.
You just gotta let nikkas be hype in the moment. Especially these days

This new special was hilarious but I need a min before I'm throwing GOAT tags on it

That's been Burr's bread and butter for the last few years

That Jussie shyt was accurate.

I remember hearing the story initially and immediately was like :usure:

The only people who were jumping out the window defending him were emotional women and gay folks.

"We supported him with our silence... Because we knew that he was CLEARLY LYING"

:dead:

Exactly, was sitting there watching the news when it broke like :OhDamn2:
