Sticks & Stones.

Solid gold as always.

Chappelle is the voice of a generation.

Very concerned about some of the jokes -
VIce has a good article about it

Great set, love that Chappelle is still able to speak his mind. All a comedian should worry about is, "is it funny?" They shouldn't have to worry about being offensive. Most comedians don't have the clout to do that these days though.


(I especially liked when people in the audience guessed his second impression was Trump)

I watched Colin Quinns stand up and he said he has been approached by the Left and told his standup had to reflect the changing mood.

He said "absolutely, I totally got into comedy 30 years ago to prop up social norms."

You either think something is funny or you dont, if you are offended then that is your problem.

Never should those particular words be arranged together in that particular order.

Vice fell off so hard.

Opinion Piece does not equal Article.

That video will never not be hilarious... and so spot on.


Also, the dude looks a lot like Charlie Cox (Daredevil) with a man bun which makes it even better

I'm not a pedophile. But if I was, Macaulay Culkin is the first kid I'd ****.

I watched it last night. Definitely funny parts, but I didn't think it was his best. I think I actually liked the epilogue better than the main special. He's definitely going to catch a bunch of heat for the alphabet bit, owning guns, and not believing MJ accusers.

Good for him for not giving a f.

Not as good as his other stuff, but Chappelle at an 8 is nearly every other comedian at a 14. The only joke that fell really flat with me was the one about getting black people to go buy guns en masse to get gun laws changed. I've seen the joke discussed in other places by large groups of people, and the reaction from Second Amendment folks is universally, "Hell yes! Go get some guns, people!" This is one of the few times that I've seen Chappelle not nail his observations of people. He seems to believe there's a racism among gun folks that isn't there.

He is crippled by the paradigm that America operates to shtt on blacks. This isnt unique to Dave. Conservative blacks comment that blacks dont realize they won the Civil Rights "War", they got everything they wanted, but the chains of eternal victimhood are self-imposed. It's a level of cognitive dissonance when high achievers like Chappelle and Lebron, who live better than 99% of whites, think the system is stacked against them.

Lebron has a HS degree but abandoned his education aims long before that. But Chappelle has no similar excuse. His profession is built on thinking, but that doesnt mean he has enough introspection or objectivity.

"My money, my choice. If you can kill 'em, I can sure as hell abandon 'em."

I don't agree with his stance on abortion or this comment - "If you have a d***, you shouldn't say anything about abortion" - but I thought this was pretty funny.

I think you're overthinking it.

If there was only a way you could reach them and set them straight on their life experiences, which they have misinterpreted. Oh wait - you can do it on Twitter! The perfect place for people to inform others of how their lives should be lived.

What a great perspective. They're going to be so excited to hear that racism and oppression ended in the 60's.
