They just dropped today, I think, and I just finished the second one a little while ago. They're by no means the funniest comedy specials you'll watch, but Chappelle still has a way of tackling racial and political topics like no one else. Equanimity is the funnier of the two, but The Bird Revelation is the more fascinating one, as it basically becomes a TED Talk by the end of it.

Man, the "Pimp" analogy in that second special had me baffled for forever, but I finally got it. I was thinking of Dave as Iceberg Slim in the analogy, but he's not.

Just saw him with John Mayer last night, dude is a master at working the crowd. And yeah he manages to delve into racy topics without alienating anyone, I think it's because he never comes off as mean-spirited he's always just bemused

Haven't seen em, heard they were pretty transphobic at times though.

They're definitely not. He basically makes a point about where he's coming from and I think it's awfully clear cut that he's not being transphobic, but I would be interested in hearing an opposing opinion, or especially a trans person's opinion. The "trans racial" bit was especially hilarious, and the specific person he talks about is really the only person he shits on.
