Dave did a whole special to get off jokes on / talk about the trans issue. IDC how be he is, that took some balls. I'm glad he's moving on, though. This one was actually probably the least purely funny of all his specials, though
Yea, these last two(maybe 3 I forget) have been boring cause it’s been the main focus. He definitely feeling some type of way.

What's a topic that's more relevant in the arts and entertainment today? Covid has been done to death and he still covered that, Trans/LGBT/Womens Right's issues have taken the spotlight for years. Every 3rd article in most major publications are about those subjects, this is no different from comedians in the 2000s talking about the new thing Bush did or various news pieces

No idea, I’m just tired of it. There’s not many good comedians imo, not many good specials coming out and Dave is one the last few I can watch. For em right now it’s just Dave and Katt that still bring it.

I just think Dave has matured and came up with a form of comedy a lot people are just not gonna get or appreciate :yeshrug:

To be fair, this style of comedy been used but it just weird coming out of Chappelle.



Like I said in the previous thread where he was talking about DaBaby, dude channeling his inner Bill Hicks which is going to go over folks heads because "RICK JAMES bytch!". Folks are not used to the whole conversation piece side of Dave, and expecting "JOKE JOKE FUNNY NOISE JOKE JOKE", side of Dave.

Lets go deeper...Lenny Bruce :wow:. Dude really heading to the mecca of the GOATs and folks are not realizing it.

Dave knows what he's doing, sadly in this time frame the idea is kinda not registering to heads are used to the goofy Dave shyt.

Breh is like pushing 50, living life like The Oregon Trial, and got enough money to oversleep without a slight worry.

He's good :yeshrug:

'They' tried to cancel/end his career over some comedy:comeon:. Dave is just giving them that work/foot on neck special. If you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen type of shyt. Obviously they cant and Dave trolled them. Its all comedy at the end of day. They can laugh at 'nikka' all day and other stuggles and etc but when the spotlight is on them its always. :sadcam::whoa:. Its easy to figure out Dave's tactics here.

Oh they laughed hard at “Clifford the Big Black ******” joke. Even the purple haired broads.

They’ll ROFL laughing at reparations skit.

They howl at the Black Pixie

But fake p*ssy jokes and Trans jokes is where they draw the line.

someone he was friendly with committed suicide in part because of bullying from that community. The bullying started because she was defending Dave.

That’s some heavy shyt that any human being would feel the need to process and what better way for an artist to process than through art?

He said the trans woman was part of his tribe, comedians, and he closes it out with, “Stop punching down on my people”(comedians).

This shyt wasn't funny at all. Dave is in the D1ck Gregory stage of his life where he tryin to educate about different social issues. I just want jokes. Chris Rock Netflix special sh1tted on all of Dave's combined. Thats just the truth.

I liked it. The end story was touching and funny at the same time. It wasn't his greatest set. But at this point, Dave can really do whatever he wants.
