Okay, unless you tell us who you’ve considered funny in the past, we have no idea what your sense of “funny” is.

Name your favorites from the past.

He was so quick and smart. He bated conversation like no one has ever done. Really lost a brilliant mind.

Seeing them in person and seeing them on netflix are two totally different things. I saw Louis CK right before he got #metoo'd and my stomach hurt after I was laughing so hard. Louis Ck 2017 is the comedy special, I believe it's still on netflix

It is a real sin to silence someone as funny as he. But he apparently crossed the line multiple times. Ugly ginger trying to get laid. If he is a dirt bag, he deserves it. I don’t know. Just want the funniest guy back.

Dude, if you don’t think The Chapelle Show was funny, you don’t have any sense of humor.

Kill yoself.

what really sucks is the stuff he did after the show. You know the stuff he was working on for his next special that never happened was probably the funniest material of the night

That seems totally uncalled for

Every clip I've ever seen of that show is incredibly obvious jokes masquerading as satire. To even compare him to someone like Richard Pryor is the most offensive sort of sacrilege.

I've always thought chappelle's show was hilarious, but it's hard to explain why it's so hilarious to people who don't think it's all that funny.

Have you seen the racial draft sketch? Clayton Bigsby? The I Know Black People game show?

Edit: Also True Hollywood Stories.

I've seen Clayton Bigsby (the big reveal is stolen from an old Samuel Fuller movie) and the N***** Family.

I didn't find it funny or even satiric. It's like satire for people who've never heard of Pryor.

I like Pryor too, but it seems like you're thinking too hard about Chappelle's Show instead of just enjoying it.

Would you mind watching a 6 minute sketch and tell me what you think? True Hollywood Stories (Prince) w/ Charlie Murphy

I agree.

Most comedians are depressed losers desperate for some attention / validation. Come across as try-hards that aren't funny and it's easier to be embarrassed for them than to actually laugh.

He's somewhat right in that theres nothing more painfully predictable than 99.9% of female stand ups

I'll assume its true of the pregnant chinese one netflix has been using as a screensaver for the last year
