Television Chappelle The Closer

[Burnt Offerings]

^ I'd be curious to know that myself lol. All I know about it is that I associate it with internet culture and it has positive connotations, I guess...?

As far as the special itself, it had a few laughs but, not his best work imo. I'd rate it a 6 or maybe a generous 7 out of 10 overall. You got a sense in the special that the criticisms he received in the last special got under his skin a little bit and the transgender-related content just felt a bit stale to me personally

I haven't seen his stand up in a long time. I like him, but other comedians are more compelling to me.

The sketch that i remember most that still makes me laugh...is the Matrix one where he pretends to be Morpheus, and guides Neo through the office just to borrow his stapler hahaha

Its the excuses & self-deceptions that humans make that is way funnier that any of our erm, trangressions. I can't get enough of it

Do any of you think Dave Chappelle was over the top with his latest show on Netflix? I don't think so but i have a different sense of humor - i didn't find it offensive - i laughed non-stop

Hell no, I gave it a standing ovation. Comedy is comedy. He stood up for himself. Fuck cancel culture. I agreed with everything he said and I think he went about it in the perfect way.

I'm just sad that will be his last special for awhile. Chapelle is one of the most genius comedians of all time.

I'm all for gay/trans rights, but they were in the wrong here and trying to cancel comedy is never going to fly. I have a deep appreciation of all comedy.
