Same here. I didn't think it was that humorous, but Chapelle has always been a winner in my book. I like the guy. He see's the reality and speaks to it. His old stuff would split my guts.

Was certainly worth the watch. I'd seen it on Netflix and thought, naw, it will be politically correct and will annoy me. Hey, he's just an honest guy. And he prods laughs at some serious stuff.

That's why we like comedians.

Vice says we shouldn't watch it, so we should probably watch it.

TL;DR: Dave Chappelle isn't on the left's plantation, and what he says is counterrevolutionary. He doesn't make fun of the right things, or people, he plants ideas in people's heads that are dangerous to leftist ideology. Basically, he's a standup comic being a standup comic, not a political commissar pretending to be a standup comic in an effort to convert the proletariat.

You Can Definitely Skip Dave Chappelle's New Netflix Special 'Sticks & Stones'

The comedian doubles down on misogyny and transphobia in both the special and the hidden bonus scene that follows.
By Taylor Hosking
Aug 26 2019, 2:32pm

Dave Chappelle made a return to Netflix Monday with a new stand-up special, Sticks & Stones. Fans quickly realized that, if you watch until the very end, the special has a secret epilogue called "The Punchline," where Chappelle answers questions from audience members who went to his separate Dave Chappelle on Broadway stand-up show last July. The special takes the comic's anti-wokeness schtick to a new level, and the whole thing is repetitive and exhausting enough that it's a slog to even make it to the Q&A.

Chapelle's controversial 2017 Netflix specials, like The Age of Spin: Dave Chappelle Live at the Hollywood Palladium and Equanimity and the Bird Revelation, honed his voice as a comedian wary of progressive criticism. That voice is even sharper in his latest special. At one point in his routine, he says he doesn't believe Michael Jackson molested young children. He continues by saying that if Jackson did, the children should've felt lucky their first time was with the King of Pop, adding, "Do you know how good it must've felt to go to school the next day after that shit?" Chappelle also returned to his now-infamous obsession with making fun of trans people, saying, "[trans people] hate my fucking guts and I don't blame them. [...] I can't stop writing jokes about these niggas." This time, those jokes included asking the audience how funny it would be if he was actually a Chinese person stuck inside a Black man's body, which (you guessed it) also included a racist impression of a Chinese person. He also found time to defend fellow controversial comedians Kevin Hart and Louis C.K., painting them as victims of an overzealous callout culture.


By the time the Q&A plays at the end of the special, Chappelle has already shown his unapologetic approach to courting controversy. His answers put that into even starker view. He says that a white woman left one of his practice sets for the special at The Punchline comedy club in San Francisco, telling him, "I'm sorry, I was raped." Chappelle says he replied with "It's not your fault you were raped. But it's not my fault either. Ta-ta, bitch," to which the audience laughs raucously, as though that were a real punchline. He then followed with a story about sparking an unlikely friendship with a trans woman who he says "was laughing the hardest" out of anyone at the trans jokes in his practice set. The strange story of camaraderie seemed to highlight the common accusation that Chappelle is only interested in repairing his relationship with marginalized groups if he doesn't have to change anything about himself.

Chappelle has always been a daredevil comedian willing to take a controversial stance or downplay a serious controversy for laughs, including his early-2000s skits about R. Kelly's court trials on Chappelle's Show. But now he chooses to blatantly ignore the historic criticism against his style of comedy and new loud-and-clear criticism from the trans community. His approach comes off like a defiant rejection of change at any cost. As he keeps going down this path, drawing attention to the worst aspects of his important career, the biggest cost will be tarnishing his own legacy.

Absolutely worth watching and full of laughs if you can see what he's saying - you have to 'read between the lines' to see the knife he is sinking into the leftists.

It won't ever be.
I do believe that you've missed the point by a country mile. Chappelle also said - in essence- that if Jackson is guilty of these crimes, "so what?". Go back and watch that segment again.
Chappelle is not only an intelligent man. He's also a father. Is there any parent in this day and age that has not considered the horror of their child being molested, and this would, of course, include Chappelle?

Chappelle does not think that child molestation is OK. But, there's something else he doesn't believe, which is that no one has the right to put limitations on a comedian telling jokes and it would follow that this would extend to non-comedians expressing their views publicly. This was why he was on that stage. That entire hour was the man defying all the pissing, whining SJWs.

I don't wish to overstate this, but anyone who cares about the First Amendment, anyone who loves this country, and anyone who is completely fed up with one disaffected group in this country trying to control the speech, behavior, and even the thoughts of everyone else in the world, owes this man a huge thanks. I mean this, most sincerely. He is our ally. He is our friend. He is trying to push this nation back on course. God bless him.

You have to get past your disgust for things he says, and look to the intent of his jokes. If you can't, you're not helping yourself.




Para. Politics wont ever matter on this.
Not a debate for me.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Take care.

Well, Chappelle had a message for people who watch his show and then react this way, and that includes those in the audience and those who "clicked on my face on Netflix."

In this most recent of his shows, Chappelle also talked about people in his audience who take offense and storm out, usually protesting loudly on the way out. It's a buzzkill for all involved.

A sense of humor is vital for one's survival, because the world is a fucked-up place. Always has been, always will be. You can't fix the world. All you can do is fix yourself. You can't change the past, but what you can do is change your attitude towards the past.

It seems to me that we as society have come to realize that far, far more people were abused as children than we knew in years past, because people are so much more willing to talk about these things. Some people talk about them because the stigma is not as great as it used to be. In years past, people just didn't talk about such things, not openly, anyway. And then, there are those who reveal these things (or, in some cases, fabricate them out of whole cloth) because it's cool these days to be a victim. Lots of sociial capital is to be had via victimhood.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, acting rigid and righteous about sexual abuse gains you nothing. It just comes off as posturing.

Very accurate statement. I certainly would like to see more stories in the Media of Resilience. Too many stories about victims, very few about survivors. People who come out of a disaster stronger rather than weaker. I often think of the elderly psychiatrist who as a child was interred at Auschwitz. She survived that ordeal and went on to help others throughout her life well into her nineties.

Victims: Step right up and let the Democrat Party fight your battles for you!

Are you a victim? Well, then, put your faith in the Democrat Party! That's right - just step right up and register and VOTE as a Democrat, and we will be your bodyguard and punish anyone who dares hurt your feelings. Because, you know, that's the way to become a well-rounded, mature, self-sufficient ADULT.



I found what you said riveting.

It was a good show. I would not have paid $50 plus to watch in person but perfect for netflix.


I noticed the audience was laughing the most when he talked about Juicy Smolier. I think that speaks volumes.

These leftists again prove how utterly stupid they are.

His legacy, right now, is that he is perhaps the funniest man on the planet. That he earns $20 million per Netflix show. That his peers are blown away by his talent. And as a black man that practices Islam, he doesn't give a shit about leftists and the PC police.

Agreed. Just because something is said to lighten the situation does not mean that the situation is taken lightly. It's just comedy.

He does an amazing job of baiting the audience and then setting the hook - gets them to cheer an example before bashing them in the head with the logical counterpoint - does it with Transgendered, Abortion, and drug bits (among others).

Finally got to watch the full thing in one setting. These little bitches today. Pryor said far worse, so did Murphy. Oh the controversy. We’ve got people on the left and the right that want to do away with the 1st amendment.

Haven't been watching comedy lately because 90% of time the punch line is a variant of "Trump is a big fat idiot".
Watched this last night with wife and we both were laughing out loud. It was a breath of fresh air in our politically correct swamp.

If you loved Chappelle's latest special, you should watch Ricky Gervais' latest, "Humanity." Pick it up at 4:50 and you might think that he and Chappelle were having a conversation-- a hilarious, brilliant conversation-- on the same subjects.

Having watched both specials a couple of times, I'm struck by how smart they both are. In both comedy performances, what dazzling intelligence!

Who will lead the counterattack on the leftist Thought Police? Well, as it turns out, it seems to be-- the clowns! And now I see how that makes sense. The perfect response to the outrage of the perpetually offended is-- a big squirt of seltzer water in their faces!

I read that Charlie Sheen went to the ER for a ruptured hernia and he claimed it was because he was laughing so hard at a Dave Chappelle bit on TV.
