Dave Chappelle Netflix Specials

[DCAllAfrican]

It was ok

Of course.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Of course.

Now you're attacking my opinion of the special. When will the purity testing end

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think you are scared to admit to liking the special since that would contradict your Social Justice Crusades.

Sticks and Stones is great

I also loved Aziz last show

Chappelle kills with that trans joke

I had trouble getting into the new Aziz special and ended up turning it off.

 

[hipstermike]

It’s great that comedy has so many different styles currently

Hannah Gadsby with Nannette
Chappelle doing his thing
And Aziz evolving his entire style on stage

It’s nice seeing this kind of evolution in real time

-I don't have a problem with him even making those jokes I just said it was free game for people to be upset just like it is free game for him to make them.

-I generally don't like jokes that punch down because I find them lazy. If you are gonna punch down the joke should be clever and somewhat insightful. I can disagree with a point being made and still appreciate a clever joke about the subject. I see it as not certain subject being off limits, but certain subject having a smaller margin of error. So if you are gonna make a joke about certain things then you premise, structure, and punch line better be on point. High risk high reward type scenario.

Dave jokes when he punched down were not that clever imo, so they were not funny, and not worth it to tell. Also Dave does is a lot of complaining about people getting upset over what he says, to me it just comes off not as serious social commentary but as a dude that is bemoaning the fact that he can't make the same jokes he used about certain subjects, that the margin of error has shrunk when it comes to certain subjects. To me it is like so what, write a better joke then. Like I am suppose to care it is harder for Dave to tell jokes. Millionaire comedians are a marginalized class I am suppose to care about?

-Someone can still enjoy a comedy special, even of they don't agree with the points being made and care about socioeconomic issues

-Me saying I enjoyed this would not invalidate any of my views, so if I did love this special I would have no issue saying it. I come for the jokes most of all.

-I found some parts funny, some part not, he some good points, he mad some bad ones. In all I didn't like this one as much as some of his others so on aggregate to me it was ok.

Since Dave makes trans jokes I know you would love the special regardless, but not everyone gotta feel the same way famb.

The Anthony bourdain / footlocker manager joke was the most insightful joke of the special.

 

[ninjahood]

This is the kicker to me and just shows how absurd this **** is.

These are the people who lack awareness if we being honest

its about as apparent a comment that can be said....i mean when folks google "social justice warrior" "cancel culture/outrage mob" does da epiphany not dawn upon them?

 

[deleted]

Of course this was gonna happen.

Like I said before, for dudes with ****ty opinions, Dave is like their MLK

Exactly, but at least the dudes with ****ty opinions make themselves easy to spot

The "it wasn't very funny but I LOVED his social commentary" types

The "Vigilant Citizens", if you will

 

[Mark Antony]

They're the ones ****ted on the most in the special though, the "poor whites" and that mentality.

 

[Chopper]

When he kept referring to “the white”

 

[Master Zik]

Poor heroin addicted whites.

 

[Mark Antony]

Yeah he said he doesn't worry about Trump, but moreso his supporters that he ignites because he lives around them. Sure enough, looks like shortly after his special is when the Dayton shooting happened, where he calls home.

 

[youngogjosh]

Fam did a reworked version of the "I identify as an attack helicopter" joke in the year 2019 and mfs ate it up.

 

[jape]

Netflix need to throw more money at Dave.
I’m here for all of this smoke. It’s wildly entertaining to see so many people up in arms about actual jokes

Dave just became more famous than he’s ever been.

Yall think these same people that are offended gonna watch the next special?

 

[tr1ll]

My things is how does Sticks and Stones have people upset, when The Chappelle Show didn't? It was the same type of comedy.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Netflix need to throw more money at Dave.

I think they have but it wasn't announced. The original deal was $60 Million for 3 specials. He's on 5 now.

It did, the internet just wasn't as big yet, and people weren't amassed in a few spaces like they are on twitter, fb, ig etc.

“It’s a different political climate”

 

[sooperhooper]

I can't even imagine social media around the time of Chappelle show. Every episode would've caused the platform to crash. It got around so fast that it felt like social media.

I just don't remember ever actually encountering anyone who said they had a problem with The Chappelle Show.

 

[tr1ll]

What's even crazier is I almost can't even believe there was no social media when the show was on. Are we sure about that? Not even Myspace??

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Social media one of the greatest gift/curse scenarios ever.

Cool social experiment when you really look at it though. Shout out the CIA.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

MySpace didn't pop until the Chappelle Show had ended. Facebook was in it's early stages and restricted to your own school's network.
