Chappelle did a school shooting joke and it landed. I guess it's all in the way its delivered. And whoever has the social capital, I guess. Like remember when you were an awkward kid and hanging out with kids in high school, and you made a joke and no one laughed, and then the super cool guy literally repeats what you said and everyone laughs like its the funniest thing they ever heard? Pretty sure most people can relate to that at some point in their life. Guess that's true too. I read what CK said though and it really didnt seem too funny. I'll watch the video when I'm off though. Also, I feel like Chappelle can make a joke on any topic hilarious so I guess it's a little unfair to compare. I could pull out of a hat so many instances of comedians saying much, much worse things. Anthony Jeselnik mocks school schootings every time there is one. Frankie Boyle makes necrophilia jokes about celebrities that died of cancer. Both of these guys are popular and doing well. I'm critical of what Louis CK did but I think it's really fucking low for people to point to jokes like this as if to say "see, he's just the worst didn't I tell you". Its all in the tone of things though. Jeselnik says horrible things but his persona is the punchline Like, to use an example from Louis own oeuvre, his old bit about the f-word where the punchline is quit being a [f-word] and suck that dick is an entirely different kind of comedy than a joke where the punchline is simply him calling his doctor a fat [f-word] And his bit about calling people r***s is hacky shit I heard at the worst open mic night Ive ever been to --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...
