New Chappelle on Netflix Login/Join

Anyone catch the 2 new stand-up specials on Netflix? I liked them. I was worried he'd be rusty. Same Chappelle humor, just from a guy who has experienced a bit more of life. Good mix of call backs to his time in the spotlight and what has happened in the last 10+ years since walking away. He got a little preachy in one of the specials, but, between the 2, actually laughed out loud maybe 5 or 6 times. That's pretty good for watching it by myself.

I watched them last night. Not bad. I liked the one in Texas a little better. Though I don't think I had any moments where I had to pause/re-wind because of a laughing fit or anything.

If this had been 10 years ago, I probably would have laughed a bit more than I did. Not that I was offended or anything like a lot of people seemed to be. I just don't find the profanity/crude humor as funny as I used to. But I knew exactly what to expect going in. I mainly wanted to see them because it was Dave Chappelle and to see if he would talk about his absence some.

I just watched the first one and had many laugh out loud moments. Though there was some profanity and crudeness, I didn't think it was over the top like many do.

I've missed Dave s great deal. He's always been one of my favorites, seems to reach across to all types of people. Just when you think he might start getting to preachy about one thing, he'll switch over to a polar opposite view. He's an equal opportunity offender and reminds us, relax folks, it's a comedy bit.

I thought the bit about Bill Cosby was great.

We just watched them both, pretty good. Be warned....the Austin one is a lot cruder-more sexually oriented.

Rusty? He never stopped doing standup. He would just do small sets announced day of or he would just go up unannounced at a comedy club somewhere. No one is not going to tell Chappelle he can't go up.

Watched the first one (not Austin) the other night. Pretty good. Not as good as Killing them Softly, but still good. I get a little tired of everything centering on his "blackness" but I know that's central to a lot of his comedy. Still one of the great comedy minds of the last 20 years.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

watched the LA one with the wife tonight and we both laughed our asses off.

Felt good to watch 'real' comedy again and not this watered down, political, uber PC bullshit that people try to pander as comedy these days.

That's kinda neat. Didn't know that. Yeah, I guess he did talked a little about that in one of the sets. I read yesterday that he did a lot of small, local gigs in his Ohio town.

The wife and I are currently catching up on all 5 seasons of Person of Interest on Netflix. Chapelle is next after that.
