Dropped last night. Funny, but more political.

Interesting stories about boxer Jack Johnson and ‘The Great White Hope’. It’s worth a watch just to learn more about that story.

It is pretty much what he has always done. Most of his material has always been racial. Just like every other black comedian.


Pryor
Murphy
Rock
DS



He only took a side step to offend he trans folk.

His new stuff has mostly been garbage. People don’t remember anything from those 2017 specials other than he made fun of trans people.

This one almost didn’t feel like a comedy show, but story time with a few one liners mixed in. I don’t know what those people paid for tickets, but I bet some of them left thinking they didn’t get their money’s worth.

I don’t care if he’s mostly doing racial jokes. If it’s funny, I’m in. I love his bait and switch style, like with the set up of going down to DC because of all the national guard there, only to find out that the city is nicer than it’s ever been. He does this so often but it gets me every time.

Whats tf is your point. 20 years later we get the same tired arse themes?

Dave is an elite story teller. It’s usually awesome taking walks with him through black history and almost unbelievable how omnipresent he seems to have been behind the scenes at practically every memorable event in black pop culture

He’s free to beat dead horses for the rest of his career and will always be comedy royalty. But he’s just too preachy and unfunny for me personally anymore. I use to circle his specials on the calendar and look forward to them like albums from my favorite artists. It just feels heavy handed and overly divisive anymore

Ps: What do his god damn lungs have to look like at this point. He’s got to walk around smelling like an AA meeting held in a broom closet

It was fine

Not as good as his other recent specials.

Seems like more of a warm up for a political candidate

He is absolutely funny. I love listening to him. But Im not sure how funny he would be without the racial stuff. It is his lane and he should just stay in it. If people are offended, let them be that way.

The last thing I heard Chapelle say was a couple of specials ago, when he said "but things are getting better. White male life expectancy is going down, suicides are up."

I switched it off and haven't listened to a word out of him since. frick Dave Chappelle.

I think he's fallen into the trap of using these specials primarily to clap back at anyone he thinks is criticising him.

If it's funny it works and he often times exposes some hypocrisy.

However when it doesn't work he just sounds kinda thin skinned. He talks a lot of shite about people but it seems to really bother him if people talk any shite about him.

Im just exhausted of current event or social commentary focused comedy in general.

He's obviously an extremely talented comedian so he makes it work but it's not nearly as funny as maybe some other stuff could be.

I think that is just what comedy is now, for the GOATed legends

Chris Rock and Louis CK did the same thing

You don't know what you're talking about. Eddie's racial jokes were tame and in no way comparable to the tune or tone of the others. He intentionally kept it light

It was half decent. Kinda rambling and I think the Jack Johnson bit didn't really go anywhere, at least not anywhere I thought was entertaining. Dave always talks about race, and sells himself as being enlightened about it but it always comes across as phony to me.

When he mentioned people trying to cancel him last night, I kind of rolled my eyes, too. He’s so much bigger than any comedian that’s been doxxed/cancelled, that I’m pretty sure he’s have to do something way way worse than trans comedy. Yeah, it was somewhat hot button, but I never really thought he was in danger of being cancelled.

Anyway. Anybody know what Dave’s beef with Maher is? I’d like to believe it’s not as shallow as him sitting with Trump. Pro Israel thing maybe? He said he’s known him for decades and they clearly run in the same circles. It must be kinda deep to shoot at him in a Netflix special
