By Not Go To PostDidn't laugh at everything in the special, and it's easy to pick and choose your favorite outrage material if you want, but I thought as a whole it put Dave in an OK position. Hardest targets were white people's tunnel vision and selective empathy and offered anecdotes which suggest a larger respect towards different human experiences than some of the people screaming at himDid not expect this from you. Good on you m8
The beyond meat joke made me laugh the hardest but I felt hella bad about it. Also the whole fight story, especially the toxic masculinity joke

The streamer and local production company Siren Pictures will edit out scenes featuring a phone number after real people with the exact number and slight variations have been inundated with prank calls.
According to Reuters, the owner of the phone number spoke to local broadcaster SBS about the experience of being inundated with calls, with those on the other line stating they wanted to participate in the Squid Game. In addition to showing several of the messages they had received, they also revealed they couldn’t change their number due to client contacts.So much for the director's vision
Feel there is a huge disconnect between people only reading about Chappelle specials and people actually watching them, because there is so much subtext he leaves left and right during his specials.
Yes he says transphobic offensive shit and brings up a couple of terrible strawmen arguments. But the real root of is anger isn't about transgender people or their community. Think he's still quite uneducated on that part and willfully ignorant about it.
His anger is obviously about white people. Always was always is. To him LGBTQ is just white people's current "minority disguise" while still acting white, being privileged and weaponizing their new minority status to discriminate against black people. He sees race first and foremost.
Personally, I don't think his argument is less valid if you consider PoC LGBTQ members.
Unfortunately his set wasn't all that funny though.

By inky Go To PostIs he implying that trans people are punching down on black people there at the end?He made a point about that when he the story about the white gay dude calling the police on him.
Aren't black trans overwhelmingly the highest victims of violence out of anyone in the LGTB group?
White people just can't catch a break.

Ehhh... that seems a weird stance to be comfortable with (if thats what you're implying)
No shots at anyone here, but I can't understand how this smart dumb, hotep ass, intellectually dishonest ass, clown can get on stage, try and claim the word TERF is anything but wtf it is, say he is one, and people are just supposed to be cool with it, cause ha ha keke. He let everyone know what time it is, multiple times now.
If people just agree on his views on that particular subject, they should say it with their chest, instead of hiding behind critique structure.
And like, nahhh. This whole framing that it's -just- about white people ain't it. He's not crafty enough to do it. In hindsight, he never was. This is straight up oldschool black exceptionalism, being about me and mine, at the cost of outright ignoring part of the people actually in his community. You know good and damn well that it wasn't just white people on his ass. Thinking otherwise is extreme levels of cap. I'm starting to understand why so many old black heads had the negative opinion of him that they had, when he came out, and we were all calling him the goat.
Certain points about white feminism and racism being apart of the LGBT were spot on. The other stuff? The fucking irony of him bringing up the women's rights movement, and then falling into the same trap black men fell into during it.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get, considering how much of a stranglehold he had on our childhood and double that if you were on the east coast and into hip hop. Might be the weed talking, but whatever. Shit is sad.
I'll be glad when we all collectively move on from this era where these whiny ass comedians think that they, and only them, can't be criticized. Fucking comedy film writers had to be smarter, instead of just relying on horny white dudes trying to get laid.

It’s weird cuz Dave is good enough that he doesn’t need those jokes, where as most of the comedians bitching about cancel culture need them because it was their only good routine.
I find all comedians are bitching about cancel culture in the beginning of their sets these days.
It's getting really old and grating.
Yes, sometimes it's bullshit and it's just some miserable cunt blogging about your jokes because you offended them.
But here in Dave's new special, if someone were to call him out and raise issue, they'd be in the right.

Exactly that. He is so intelligent, so good, such a good writer and deliverer that it is a shame he picks the same low hanging fruit as people like Gervais who haven’t been funny for 20 years.
Comedians ain’t shit can’t believe they fooled so many people into thinking they are some kind of philosopher kings beyond reproach or criticism. Fools like Bill Hicks did a number on y’all
By Lupercal Go To PostI find all comedians are bitching about cancel culture in the beginning of their sets these days.for real. Shtick got tiring and unfunny long ago. Dude needs to go back to sketch comedy because this ain’t it.

All I remember about Chappelle's first set of Netflix specials was how often he would keel over laughing at his own (mediocre) jokes and slapping his legs with his mic at the same time.

Thought Squid Game ended really weak. Not a fan of the last episode or two
Rest of the season was good
Also lol @ that image someone linked here with all those reviewers comparing it to Parasite.

Erm, actually it's very similar to Parasite - you see it has Asian people in it. And *gestures broadly* bad things happen.
By Old King Rob Go To PostThought Squid Game ended really weak. Not a fan of the last episode or twoYep I made my thoughts known last page but yeah, the last episode left a sour taste and really turned it into an ok show I won't watch again.

By Laboured Go To PostErm, actually it's very similar to Parasite - you see it has Asian people in it. And *gestures broadly* bad things happen.It has poor Korean people and rich Korean people

Review:
- Chappelle's outfit/shoes? Ew
- ok jokes, too many punchlines with "_____ bitch"
- not anything worth outraging over
- not something worth any rewatch, not funny enough
- he's done better but it wasnt terrible, just a little stale/done before or overdone at this stage.
- 10-15 minutes too long
2.8/5 Official rating

Midnight Mass is really twisting my arm, two talking heads on a couch having a no stakes boring conversation for 10 minutes straight? Awful pacing.

Not enough bullet points.
By bud Go To Postit's the only good thing he's ever done.Dude did found an organization which has helped identify victims of child sex trafficking.
Also, Butterfly Effect was good.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostDude did found an organization which has helped identify victims of child sex trafficking.
as an actor*
please understand
By FootbalIFan Go To PostButterfly Effect was a decent movieI watched it when I was like 13. I don't know if it holds up.
By diehard Go To PostButterfly Effect is a bad movie but still entertainingI've only seen it once, but I would agree with this assessment.
By s y Go To PostThey did an 80s version and it tanked. The og cast had teal good chemistry.With a pre It's Always Sunny Glenn Howerton as one of the leads.
Funny thing, That 70's Show was about teens in 1976 and it aired in 1998, a 22 year difference.
Depending on when they start this show, the difference could be bigger in this show.
