And made a shit ton of money bringing laughter to slavers while we work ourselves to death and suffer from having a conscience. We really do need to get together and figure out how to actually start changing things without self imploding. Evil is very much winning.

Dave's on the menu now when we start eating the rich, right?

Goes to a place that slavery is still legal, they like his jokes, he doesn't see the problem.

He’s been making shitty trans jokes for about 10 years now. It’s so lazy…he needs to move on.

Of course they did, Dave. They're just as bigoted as you are.

It’s a shame Dave Chappelle died immediately after Chappelle’s Show ended. He sure was a funny guy when he was still alive!

It boggles my mind that this is the same guy who walked away from a multi-year, multimillion dollar TV deal with Comedy Central because he saw a white dude laughing a little too hard at his jokes about race. The fact that he could have that moment of reflection, but not extend it to other marginalized groups, just shows the complete lack of empathy he has in his soul.

I’ve gotten some good belly laughs from Dave’s material in the past, but he fell pretty flat here.

I started watching his latest Netfux special and he just wasn’t funny to me at all. Bragging about all his wealth, buying a white hippy town, defending his Saudi Arabia sellout because “haha I’m a rich n*gga”, and then a joke about a falcon killing a trans and “his dick popped out”, but it turns out killing a trans person only being a misdemeanour in SA. Har har. Just predicable, and felt like a real grift. Turned it off and watched some show with Fran Lebowitz instead - that one was at least pretty funny, if not also a grift.

Am I in the echo chamber?

Did he actually make any references to trans issues? Are there recordings of this comedy festival?

I ask because that line "my anti-trans jokes went over very well in Saudi Arabia” sounds to me like an intentional troll, a way to say that he got to talk about whatever he wants while poking fun at the controversy he stirred up a few years ago. As a joke in and of itself, that works even if he didn't actually have any trans jokes in his set.

I see that he is still punching down.

Looks like he’s found his happy place

I gauge all of my work against regimes that murder people, so this seems reasonable. Fucking asshole.

"Hitler loved my joke about gassing the Jews" isn't exactly proving your point, Dave.

Fuck Dave & his dumbass jokes too.

“They said, ‘Well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist,’ and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. I’m sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion. And also, look, bro, Israel’s killed 240 journalists in the last three months, so I didn’t know y’all were still counting.”

he does have one well-thought message, albeit with incorrect addressing and postage

now that i look it up, he does already condemn israel much more than palestine (and gotten flak for it). he even called israel a war criminal back in oct 2023. i wonder how this hasn't caused certain senators including MAGA to try and cancel him yet...

Becoming a real life Clayton Bigsby.

Maybe there's something worse out there, but his trans jokes I've seen are far from hateful. When Chappelle first got flak over this I was afraid the jokes would be flat out evil. They could hardly be more mild.

Can anyone point to a particular joke that's tearing trans people down? I don't mean poking fun, I want to see the hate you all accuse him of.

Should've stayed "retired." Should've listened to his dad and got out, but no... gotta suck on that green dick.

I believe it. I'm sure the King requested that everyone have a good time too.

To this day, I will never not be convinced he went down the far-right bigotry rabbithole because Elon Musk and/or other oligarchs are paying him to take that stance.

It seems no coincidence to me that after he started attacking the trans community, he invited Musk on stage and tried to defend him from the booing crowd.
