Current Events > people are really losing their shit over this Chappelle thing, huh

(+) Yeah! (+)

is a standup act really the most pressing issue of our time

---

No but people are having discussions and debates about it. Stop acting like people cant discuss mundane things. I swear its the most annoying thing you guys do. Is this really our most important issue?!...no one is saying it is.

just goes to show you liberals are no better than conservatives and the entire world is a goddamn shit show with absolutely no redemption in sight

I didn't watch it since I doubt it's actually funny the way it's being praised by people whose sense of humor can be symbolized by spoiled fruit, but still. Props to Dave for escaping being a monetized property and managing to thrust himself back into the spotlight years later.

I haven't heard anyone say anything

The special wasn't perfect. At times it felt just a little forced. But overall, Chappelle's the hero America needs right now, calling out our collective insanity goring every sacred cow regardless of who they belong to.

Fragile peeps lol

Remember when comedy was comedy? I honestly wonder if it's going to become a dead art, that it's just going to turn into "America's got talent" stand-up humor and that's the extent it's permitted to go in the future? I mean, does it really hurt people's feelings that much?

Not to mention hanging out with people who talk about pressing issues 24/7 are miserable to be around.

I haven't watched it and I haven't heard a specific joke people are complaining about

What exactly are people mad about? Is anybody even mad or is the fact that people talk about his shows more than the standard Netflix comedian somehow a controversy?

He made fun of trans people and anti trumpers

Vocal minority

I mean you could have said this in the 70s, 80s, 90s etc. People were bitching about comedy waaaay tamer then this back then.

Dave is the greatest comedian of all time. This will blow over quick, if anything it probably helped get it views. It's mostly being blown out of proportion.

There isn't anything to debate. People literally writing articles about a stand up special.

Yea thats what I said. People are talking about it. They are discussing it. You dont have to believe there is a debate. Thats your opinion. You dont have to discuss it either. But spare me the ugh this is the biggest issue to people?!...no one said it is. Let them talk about it.

This new special was alright at best. Laughed a few times. His other Netflix specials were way better

Comedy isn't really about being nice. Sometimes it's a way to air out the ugly things people think.
