Good for you, you unfunny, useless, ignoramus of a fucking clown. Nothing you've uttered in the last decade and a half has been amusing, let alone funny, save to perhaps your close-minded bigot.

Have you watched any of his standup? It's obviously going to be subjective, but to say nothing he has said in 15 years has been funny is absolutely ridiculous.

Dave Chappelle is very funny.

Yes bitch I'm Rick James bitch what did the 5 fingers say to the face? Smack! Black people don't make good hostages. 

There. 

I saved you like 2 hours of your life. That's his apex material. 

You wanna I own something? A few years ago I was telling some pals about how funny he was. I had fond memories of half baked. We sat down and put on one of his specials and it fucking bombed. He used to be funny, one upon a long ass time ago, but that ship sailed nearly immediately after his ego ate his common sense.

What about the joke clowning on KSA? Oh didn't tell it? No balls

As well as Chappelle went down on the Saudi’s for the hydrocarbon/haemoglobin infused cash?

im surprised bobby lee went to, although i cant say im surprised his "Career" was pretty much in the dumps after madtv(per his own admission on his podcast") im guess he shills for them now. he probably needs the money more than any of the rich comedians, hes been in rehab for porn addiciton.

“They said, ‘Well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist,’ and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. I’m sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion. And also, look, bro, Israel’s killed 240 journalists in the last three months, so I didn’t know y’all were still counting.”

see Dave Chapelle does know how to be funny, shame he's backed himself into a corner, but it's deliberate and he's benefitting significantly

Maybe there's something worse out there, but his trans jokes I've seen are far from hateful. When Chappelle first got flak over this I was afraid the jokes would be flat out evil. They could hardly be more mild.

Can anyone point to a particular joke that's tearing trans people down? I don't mean poking fun, I want to see the hate you all accuse him of.

He made the remarks in his new special, so presumably they were part of his jokes and dark humor. Has anyone seen it to say otherwise?

Did y'all read the article? He disses Israel, so you should be able to say, "a broken clock," at least.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

He is irrelevant, from my perspective.
