Current Events > Saw Dave Chapelles new comedy special and it was great.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Though at points you clearly tell he's been out of the comedy game for years. His timing was off at points and sometimes he would just kind of ramble about random stuff.

But, other than that I thought it was great. The one he did in LA was better than the Texas one though.
---

Certain jokes made him look really out of touch with some issues and people, which is disappointing coming from him.

I agree that it was great though.

I enjoyed them. I was watching the LA one at the Barbershop and it was even funnier in that setting. Then some kids came in and my barber turned it off.
---

It was great, but I could tell he was a bit rusty. Though that's to be expected when you've been semi-retired for 10 years. Granted, i'd probably retire to a Lake house somewhere if I was handed 10 Mil too.

The Cosby Joke and build up about the Same Hero different boots was great though, and I pretty much saw the punch line for the joke about kid who threw a snowball at him coming from a mile away. Still funny though.

His last joke was fucking brilliant, one of the best show enders I've ever seen

I don't think he's out of touch, that's just who he is....

Yeah, I think he brought his A game when they did the LA show, the Texas one he had some good material but not much. I will say I am glad the editing was better than the Chris Rock "Killing them Softly" show. Holy shit that was bad.

Had more Jumpcuts and bad edits than a terrible Youtuber. He would start one joke, and then continue it in a different suit/ different country. And this would happen back and fourth.

Love the people that got upset about the LGBQT jokes despite him making fun of every other group of people out there too. So hypocritical.

I thought it was just joke websites and news outlets that were butthurt over it. Everybody else didn't care.

I think it was the way he did it tbqh

i'm not usually one to get upset about this sort of thing, but he did use what is considered a slur to describe them, and basically made fun of the very concept of being transgender ("that's a dude in a dress")

that's different from poking fun at stereotypes imo. i can see how it would offend people

His bit about the sextape had me in tears lol

You know, people say this but he's been consistently doing comedy tours for years now. He just never released any specials
