I like Chappelle a lot. I think the Chappelle Show is one of, if not the, funniest TV shows of all time. Groundbreaking.

I thought the Daphne story was pretty poignant and I enjoyed it as a closer to the show.

That said, he rarely makes me laugh anymore and none of his Netflix specials have been very funny to me.



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

Remember though, Chapelle doesn't want you to watch it because Viacom never paid him.

My wife and I watched his show Friday night, the Daphne portion was touching and funny....Dave is truly one of the best current comedians...possible one of the best plain and simple. There has been no mention of the Daphne story in all the articles I have read. Of course that is purposeful....

And while it certainly is not surprising but how the alphabet people could possibly say he is anti-anything....hurts my brain

Dave Chappelle Addresses Netflix Brouhaha, Says He'd Meet Trans Workers But 'You Will Not Summon Me'


“To the transgender community, I am more than willing to give you an audience, but you will not summon me,” he stated. “I am not bending to anybody’s demands. And if you want to meet with me, I’d be more than willing to, but I have some conditions.

“First of all," he continued, “you cannot come if you have not watched my special from beginning to end. You must come to a place of my choosing at a time of my choosing, and thirdly, you must admit that Hannah Gadsby is not funny” — the latter a cheeky reference to the Australian lesbian comic who had her own Netflix special.

Great special.

I hope it's not really his last.

I don't think he said it was his last. I believe he meant he's done with the alphabet people.

He is right, Hannah Gadsby is not funny. Just looked up her set on Youtube.

I guess I came to this thread too late Para. Both of your videos are unavailable.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

Proud Ohioan here and supporter of Dave Chappelle. He's not afraid to speak his mind.

Netflix doesn't like anyone stealing their shit, even audio-only versions. I can't say I blame them but they're still assholes, for lots of reasons. It seems to me that a little bite like that might actually encourage people to sign up for Netflix to see the full show, but what do I know?

I don’t care either way about Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner, but I would think this is exactly the type of thing that Chapelle is frustrated about.

A trans person comes out in defense of Dave, and that person is no longer a part of the “community”, but instead, labeled a troublemaker.

Of Course Caitlyn Jenner Is Defending Dave Chappelle

If there’s one thing Caitlyn Jenner is going to do, it’s involve herself in some drama. The ex-Keeping Up With the Kardashians star who unsuccessfully ran for governor of California earlier this year is lending her support to Dave Chappelle, amid the controversy surrounding comments he made about the transgender community in his Netflix special The Closer

If you want to have a real laugh, got to the 2:30 mark of this video. It's hilarious. It's not the tweets- it's how they're handled Big Grin

Jimmy Dore knows this phony because Jimmy used to be part of The Young Turks and this fraud was a guest on that show.

BTW, the "1,000 employee Netflix walkout"? Yeah, it was actually somewhere between between 6 and 28 people, depending upon who you believe.

Enjoy Big Grin

I found out late this afternoon on my drive home from work, Rogan and Chappelle were doing a show in town tonight. If I’d known, I would have bought a ticket

I laughed my ass off at Dave’s latest

If there is one thing that has made me laugh more than anything else in my entire life it’s been African American comedians. They own it. Only white comedian I really loved was George Carlin, and may he RIP. Dave Chappelle, is the GOAT, surpassing even what everyone else says, Richards Pryor. Dave, Robin Harris, Redd Foxx, that’s my trifecta for my entire life. Robin was got damn hilarious. And I’ll tip my hat to J.B. Smoove because on Curb Your Enthusiasm, as Leon, he is got damn hilarious. “Is that a foist?”

Dave will not cave. So the trannies are fucked. If Dave was white, yeah he might be cancelled forever, but not the black comedian. Ain’t gonna happen. They can whine. They can get on Twatter and Twat until their penis or twat, or whatever becomes inflamed. It’s not going to do anything. The world belongs to all of us, not just to the letter people. Comedians are going to break balls. They make fun of EVERYTHING. Deal with it!

Wait.... THAT is what people are so up in arms about?

I, sadly, haven't had a chance to see Dave's special. From the nonsense i read online, i though he was on stage crucifying LGBTQ+ %$zjy folks...

That was a very heartfelt story, where Dave talks about someone he considered a friend. And his overall point, is someone who was, if not an ACTUAL practicing comedienne, but at least an aspiring one. And one who had some talent that was shortly to be realized...

If THAT is what people are up in arms about (and the real shocking story should be, that I am somehow surprised that this is true in this day and age) that's absolutely insane.

He could have been MUCH more offensive... I mean, ANYONE could have been. He found a way to be both heartfelt, make a tribute, AND be funny...

The folks upset about this, are totally out of line. And that shouldn't surprise us. It does (hell it did me, i expected something much more off color) but sadly, these days it doesn't.

Chappelle is one of those people that reminds me I am not nearly as smart as I think I am.... from the first time I caught one of his shows I was impressed by him ... his last net flex special was interesting for the simple fact it was not just him making jokes but explaining himself and NOT apologizing but pointing out the hypocrisy of those who pick and chose what he says and then demonize him.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, they need to be perpetual victims, and want to be considered this above-all-non-touchable class of people.

It’s not that he was doing anything offensive, it’s simply the idea that he is questioning or pointing this out.

They cannot have this.
