Dave Chappelle's Increasingly Less Righteous Rants

I’ll stick with The Flagrant Ones over Flagrant 2, please respect my decision

 

Would love to see the numbers on how many of the capitol stormers are avid fans of his buddy Joe Rogan, who was there with him that night.

 

rogan had nothing to do with schulz approach on building his own brand

schultz was doing that shit years before he met rogan or went on his podcast

 

He’s certainly given him good (business) advice and Andrew has credited him for it on his podcast. Parse that statement however you will, but for a while there he mentioned “talking to Joe the other day about ______” so often it got a little annoying.

He also called him his mentor on Instagram IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS BUSINESS MODEL AND SUCCESS.

 

I have cancelled Dave

 

I would like a Dave Chappelle “Safe Space” where I can consume his new material but with all the Kanyesque distorted ego flair toned down.

 

I mean...

Yeah.

 

oh no

 

I haven’t watched a single one of these things it’s pretty obvious what Dave’s about by the people surrounds himself with now a days. Imagine being worth millions and doing all this whining

 

He also said twitter isnt a real place lmfao

 

Dave has for some time now looked like he's two sentences away from outright ending his career by saying some real dumb shit.

 

Haven't watched, but I will. I love a lot of Dave's social commentary, hope the crying about cancel culture is a small portion of the special.

 

He doubles down on taking shit about trans folk so there's that

 

I just didn't really find it very funny. I'll laugh at anything (and then feel guilty about it), but this special just generated a few chuckles here and there. Disappointing.

 

Best review of the new one that I’ve read.

 

biggest thing this special proves is that the line for comedy about comedy is precariously fragile and even the goats will break it if they tread on it for too long.

 

I thought the bit about aliens being the original inhabitants of earth coming back after shit didn't work out on their new planet was pretty funny.

 

He and bill burr

 

haven’t seen it yet but seems like the pandemic has made him really grumpy .

 

I feel like Burr went pretty far down this path but wised up a bit in the last year. I haven’t seen any of his material post Paper Tiger though. I’m just judging based on talk show, podcast, etc appearances.

 

I haven't thought any of his recent specials were anything close to Killing Them Softly

 

The thing about Burr is that he knows he's an asshole - that he's wrong. That's his schtick (although admittedly I don't listen to his podcast, only the standup). I feel like Chappelle is self-righteous.

 

I didn’t feel this one was nearly as bad as sticks & stones from either an offensive standpoint or whining standpoint.

 

I haven’t watched the special yet but if it was the same joke I heard live in Florida a month ago; that was the best joke of the night.

 

Watched it last night and found it to be the least funny out of all his specials. Some parts were amusing but not something i’ll ever watch again.

 

And instead you're worth hundreds and doing just as much work.

 

The one about an alien invasion being the only time white people can use the N word? That was a different comedian’s joke. Can’t remember an alien joke from his set

 

I don’t know if that’s a fair critique, you’re talking about one of the all time greats

 

It's the same comedian though. That's the bar

 

Killing Them Softly is an all time great, Mt. Rushmore level set. I don’t think that being the expectation each time out is fair

 

But it wasn't that they have to be it's equal. It's that they're not even close

 

I agree, though I have yet to watch The Closer

 

I’ll pass and just watch Chappelle show reruns

 

No, it wasn’t that one. It dealt with Israel/Palestine.

 

I don't remember it. Weird.

 

Again, he might have not said it during the Netflix special but he said it in Fort Lauderdale and it got a pretty big mixed reaction. I was assuming that was what was referred to. It skirted the line as much as any joke that night even when the last half was about Transgender backlash.

 

I was at the ft Lauderdale show. I don’t remember that joke. Maybe he told it one night and not the other.
