I wonder if (hypothetically mind you) I told Dave that I’ve felt happy since MLK was assassinated if he would feel that it was ok…


Something tells me that he wouldn’t roll with that..

I don’t have any issue with someone doing a joke about Charlie Kirk. Several were done at the Kevin Hart roast and I thought they killed.

I was at Dave’s show a few weeks ago. I thought the stuff on Charlie Kirk was a pretty weak attempt at comedy by Dave. What is in the OP is pretty accurate on some of the stuff he said. He has a big blind spot when it comes to narratives that paint a person as racist. It has to be so over the top like Jussie Smollet for him to not believe it. Remember, he did a whole special on George Floyd that was just a rant from him, from what I can remember.. And on the Charlie Kirk stuff, I believe he read or watched Kirk’s statement about how he’d be nervous if he saw that the pilot of his airplane was black, and didn’t bother to watch or read the rest of the context that was said - which was more commentary on the effects of DEI. He directly referred to Kirk’s comments on this during the set. In Dave’s eyes, Kirk was a huge racist and he is happy the world has one less of them. It’s a lazy point of view.

You’d like to think a witty comedian is also just a smart person in general, but that’s not actually the case most of the time.

The bits Dave did on Kirk were pretty disappointing, and judging by the raucous laughter and applause they received, it only reminded me how dumb the general population is. The whole premise of Dave’s bit relies on you believing the lie that Kirk was racist.

I wasn't sure how truly lost society was until I saw the reactions over Kirk's murder.

When people celebrate / cheer murder they're fricked up animals and probably beyond salvage.

For me it's not about what Chappelle said. It's the blatant and accepted hypocrisy from a certain segment of our society.

Make fun of Kirk being murdered? Wear a copy of Kirk's tshirt he wore that day with blood on the neck area? That's cool. Just a joke. Just freedom of expression and speech.

Do the same for a progressive or someone a progressive worships?

Absolutely verboten and the person must be destroyed.

Apparently he used the same punchline that the guy from the roast did in the George Floyd joke.

Chappelle is one of those weirdos who thinks George Floyd was like a big hero so that joke probably made him mad and he's telling this "joke" to try to make some sort of statement.

Several people at my work were laughing and had a celebratory atmosphere when it happened. They were openly giddy that someone they disagreed with was murdered.

He was funny back in the day but if this is how he really feels about political assassinations he can GTFO.

Same here. One of my teammates was laughing and showing the video to anyone that would watch. He kept asking everyone if they also thought he deserved it.

I simply commented “Why? Because he has a different opinion than you?” and I just walked away in disgust. I lost all respect for that guy and was glad to see him laid off a few months ago.

A leftist told Erika Kirk to lighten up about the Chappelle joke. HowlingMutant shows the absurdity of the left as only he can

Like what? Im genuinely curious. Were statics involved?


I know you meant statistics. I don’t have some encyclopedic knowledge of everything Kirk ever said, but every clip I’ve ever seen of him commenting on things involving race or not, he backs his comments with easily documentable evidence and facts.

We all know that in 2026 facts are racist when directed at certain groups of people. That’s their “reasoning” behind hating him, an inability to accept the truth.

This dude posted a link to a Google search as evidence that he made racist comments.

That's amazing. As I mentioned earlier, something like that is worthy of an arse whoopin.

Correct, I'm not interested in mr. kirk's opinions on static mechanics.

However, I have a hard time believing him to be "racists" based on the clips I've seen. Im admittedly not a huge consumer of his work.

I just know I have a hard time with hearing people celebrating the murder of a young man who was a husband and a father and seemed to share a lot of the values I do. Do they want everyone who thinks like he did murdered?

Reminds me of the Will Smith/ Chris Rock slap.

Jim Carey couldn't believe Hollywood gave Will a standing ovation that night after the incident. He said it showed how sick Hollywood really is.

Chappelle lost me a long time ago.

He used to do stand up and was hilarious. Then he had Chappelle Show which was incredible.

Then he freaked out and disappeared. When he came back, he was not the same. He suddenly thought he was a deep thinker / philosopher.

He went from a comedian telling jokes, to an edgy storyteller. People have tolerated it because of his past talent, but his ability to make people laugh like he used to has fallen off a cliff.

He hasn't been funny in a very long time. He is living off of his early years as a comedian. He is simply not funny - and this latest stunt to stay relevant is disgusting and pathetic.

I have zero respect for him now. Say what you want about a mans politics....... but to celebrate and take glee, in the murder of a man with a family, for clicks, popularity and personal gain is about the most disgusting thing a man can do. Disappointed does not cover it. Sad, pathetic and pandering - he is a sell out to himself and his profession.
