Official Dave Chappelle: The Closer Thread

[Bruce LeRoy]

This is really the "individual" that is the showrunner to Dear White People--a show I didn't know had multiple seasons, based on a #NewBlack ass corny movie?

Not surprised. The way the "hotep" was beat and it's played for laughs, while the same character who did the assault was given a speech about how black people have to be above resorting to violence when he was going to confront the white security guard who put a gun in his face.

Just watched it. I thought it was hilarious and the funniest of his specials. Let the coli tell it and this nikka ain’t tell no jokes

I know I’m not trans and I can’t tell them how to feel but I was expecting something way worst than what was said.

I think he kinda stumbled on the whole “gender=fact” bit , albeit funny, but I do think his over all point was sincere, thorough and contrite.

He’s brilliant man

Thought the first half was stronger it’s amazing these trans people are taking the bait. If they had said nothing no one would be talking about it their outrage is fueling the popularity. Don’t get me wrong it’s Dave people will watch but they’re making it part of the discussion everywhere.

I didn’t think it was overly funny but I think what Dave has been saying has needed to be said. And I’m glad he took the time to do it. The LGBT community needed to be humbled. The impossible p*ssy joke was absolute gold tho

 

[radio rahiem]

hilarious as always Dave

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I found the special not overly funny but very clever in its crafting.

I think a large part of everything is the trans community is demanding equality(and they should) but they’ve been at this fight for what ten years trans people haven’t been really organized until recently. Meanwhile black people spent the first 400 years in this country as slaves the next 100 as lower legal citizens and it wasn’t till about forty, fifty years after the civil rights act that people aren’t openly racist and disrespectful daily. It’s of course still not perfect but trans are trying to jump the line to equality trying to say he’s punching down when Dave continues to say with his comedy we’re all on equal terms by not being equal in this country. If your not a white man your looked at as less than in the USA so how is a person whose people built this country for free whose trying to bring black people to the lowest basement floor on equality hurting your feelings. He said it your enemy isn’t him his enemy isn’t you it’s the white men in power not giving away their position. It’s a larger scale minority crabs in the barrel have the minorities fight amongst themselves meanwhile the white man still owns everything.

I'm old enough to remember when Dave told jokes. Killin Em Softly is my absolute favorite comedy special of all time. Even the follow-up he did in San Fran was underrated as hell. But man, he has lost me. I wanna laugh when I see Chappelle not be preached to. Just my honest take, glad some of y'all enjoyed it

I’m kinda ok with either Chappelle, but he just feels arrogant these days. Like he really plays into the hype and labels people give him - GOAT, un-cancellable, etc. I’m not big on artists of any type being so self-referential about what fans say/feel about them - I’m perfectly fine with them being arrogant or whatever based on how they feel about their skill.

that’s also why this one didn’t hit for me, the message needs to be said and we need to stop all this cancel bullshyt, but it partially feels Dave did this solely because he wants to show how far he can push and walk away unscathed, it didn’t really feel genuine.

on a tangent - we do need more voices standing up against cancel culture, especially women and lgbt folks (I’m laughing @ the trans community and how they came after Sam Jay as well), white men like burr and black men like Chappelle get dismissed in a way - burr for being a “privileged cis white male” and Chappelle for being the “typical misogynistic homophobic black man” - both demographics are seen as the enemy of LGBT and women’s movements

What did Sam Jay do and how did they come after her?

Also I pretty much agree with all of you what you said.

@ "one they" or "many theys"

Her Netflix stand up has jokes that basically highlight trans women as not biological women, yet while celebrating and welcoming them to the team - called them the X-men of women due to super power strength. I’m not doing the jokes justice as I watched quite a few months ago, but she didn’t shyt on them, she does however make jokes that differentiates them, as well as butch lesbians, from real women.

then on the first or second episode on her hbo show, she talks about the trans community response against her
