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

Dave kinda addressed this with the Daphne story. She went against code on canceling Dave and they attacked her for it. It's a mob mentality happening with anyone questioning the mob being the enemy no matter what group you belong to. I don't know how to solve it because people are reacting emotionally and not listening to the points being made.

That’s one person. I mean the collective voice on the other side needs to be just as loud. Right now, as a society on many issues, we’re being held hostage by a vocal minority. The opposition either doesn’t care enough to get into a battle or some are afraid to not have the pristine character views. Like a few of my girl friends be on that trans acceptance wave and I vocally push back knowing they’re judging me as not being “woke”…Idgaf as I’d rather be right, which I am :birdman:, than be woke

your stars are but dust on my shoes
Threw this on after seeing the headlines and controversy online, and I don't think it's as offensive as some would like to lead on, however it's neither as funny of a special as we have come to expect from Dave.

Dave's act is feeling very one note. These Netflix specials have gotten less interesting, as though Dave is just beating the same joke premise over and over again.

Perhaps the most disappointing part about this special, is that Dave was not able to subvert or escape the reaches of the mainstream media, and its narratives. Sitting through this special is like watching CNN or FOX panelists have a debate on gender neutral bathrooms. How many times must the same topics be revisited before the populace feels their brain going numb.

I'm not envious of the comedian who has to write new material. However, as a fan of Dave, this effort was not strong. I did like the ending though.

fukk it, Dave has become a boring ass motherfukker, and it's Yellow Springs, Ohio's fukking fault.

At 55:40 you can see 2 extremely triggered feminists:russ:
:laff:

They stuck out so much for the wrong reasons. I always wonder why these people come to the show knowing exactly what Dave was likely to talk about. I did see them laugh at a few other jokes but the straight mean mug during other bits was hilarious to see

But the guy a few rows infront of them was worse. Didn't laugh the entire show (he was sitting beside a guy who had a "C" on his jacket arm)

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

facts u know a special isnt funny when most half comments in here

he tells good stories!!!! Hes tryna be carlin!

A masterpiece and I am not into stand up

The bussy gang and their lapdogs are in shambles

Y'all needed to be humbled, and thankfully Dave Chappelle is the one to do it
