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

What... That's not funny. He's using an ongoing tragedy to deflect from his blatant hypocrisy.

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.
