re: Netflix pulls Chapelle's Show

Good thing I binge watched them. Biaaaatch!

Sounds like Viacom might have a little "tortious interference" claim.

Viacom should start a YouTube channel and throw every Chapelle's Show episode up on for free, just out of spite.

It's at least an interesting discussion of how to handle those kind of contracts that were signed pre-streaming.

---

Modern streaming is no different than years ago when a show went into syndication.

And yeah I mean contracts are never broken huh?

---

Sure they are. They usually aren't broken without some legal repercussions, however.

Of course, you would likely struggle to understand that.

He signed the contract a lot time ago.

Oh....forgive me. I wasn't aware we had a game clock.

They don't have to. You can find any skit from the chapelle show on youtube right now.

So, why doesn't Dave use his clout to reign in those evil bastards over at YouTube?

does Dave have a big partnership with YouTube? I don’t think so

That's neither here nor there. The brain trust that is OweO has asserted that Chapelle is a victim of a parasitic "old" contract. Well, if it is about people profiting off of a deal he made that he is no longer happy about, YouTube should be at the top of the list, right?

That is particularly true if you realize that YouTube is a parasite on younger, less successful comics who do not have leverage in the market. Chapelle very well could use his clout for the betterment of the entire industry. But, nah....

chapelle is a dumbass? I would have never guessed.

I saw him in person about 18 years ago and it was the worst stand up I have seen in person. He spent the entire time complaining about whites and especially rednecks. Most racist shite I have heard in person.

I can't remember who opened for him that night but that guy was pretty good.

You sound like one of those people who hears that one thing that he said about the whites and you immediately made up your mind that he is nothing but some black dude who does nothing but make fun or whites despite the fact he was probably making fun of everyone.

You are just like the trans people who hate him because he makes fun of the trans people. But he makes fun of everyone, especially Asians and trans people.. And his wife is Asian.

And I think he has made fun of blacks once or twice (sarcastic). The dude made a skit about a black white supremacist. He did a skit about a white family "The Ni--ars" BTW on that skit, he plays a milk man, its set in the 50s and I like the part when he goes to their house and the wife is like "We have extra bacon would you like some?" and he says "Oh no ma'am, I learned to never get between a ni--ar and their pork".

If you going to get offended then he isn't your type of comedian. He isn't for everyone, But if you realize he will tell jokes about any group of people and take it at face value its funny AF.
