Were you all boycotting him back then?edie caught major flack for his gay jokes...its just that there was no social media then so the backlash wasn't as widespread.

Fam as soon as he said that juicy shit I was
I caught that shit immediately
This dudes Witt is uncanny. This joint was far better than his last special.
you remember you were there with your gay power sign and flowers...Were you all boycotting him back then?
What are you going to do if trump wins in 2020?
Get another tax break

Juicy Smolliere....
I loved that shit, too. I always wondered what went into the Chappelle logo.Bruh, I was looking at that logo, wondering WTF he got a Sbarro inspired logo...shit made me think of pizza at a food court. Then the X-Clan shit hit and I was like, "Ohhhhh!" The RBG under a big ass C.
As I was leaving, I thought that too, but after thinking about it, it was cool the way it was. Besides, I was sitting next to a white bitch that was going waaaaaay overboard with her laughter. This bitch was literally falling out of her seat. Those of us around her were like .This s hit needed to be longer...my only gripe
yeeeeeeeah, she was uncomfortable as fuk.....As I was leaving, I thought that too, but after thinking about it, it was cool the way it was.

Only Dave could get away with a standup like this. You can't do this unless you're a genius-level comedian. That Michael Jackson pedo shit would get anyone else buried.
To add...a black comedian doing descriptive pedo jokes. That is super duper rare. The only person I've seen do funny pedo jokes was Jim Norton. Honorable mention for Louis CK joke about pedophilia and how it must be great, because otherwise why would someone risk doing it. He did that on SNL!! The fucking balls to do that on that platform!!
nigga it was 2am during a fucking blizzard in Chicago....only way you're leaving the crib is for some money or pussy.... maybe not even that when it's below 0.....but he did that for some fucking subway?
That MJ shit was not a big deal.
It was vintage Dave and he even left the door open to MJ's culpability.
I don't know why everybody was up in arms.
And the way he maneuvered the school shootings was masterful.
Fam...once those details came out, I knew it was horseshit. For shitty ass Subway? I remember standing at the door for 20 minutes during a snow storm thinking about going to food spot, and I sat my keys down and just raided the cabinet. I ended up baking a fucking cake because I had like six boxes of mix and I wasn't walking or driving in that shit.
Bruh, I was stationed out in Colorado, and one night during a snowstorm, I was craving a double Whopper. I thought about walking, because we had a BK on post, then I thought, "Fuck it! I'll just drive!". Then I actually went outside. Man, that was the best 2 bowls of Cap'n Crunch I'd had in my life that night!Fam...once those details came out, I knew it was horseshit.

It be a real Fag sittin on top...
after getting busted pickin up two trannies you can bet eddie ain't touching that subject now.
I loved the special. I thought the beginning about sexual assault victims and celebrities was hilarious and edgy. The trans stuff-- some of it was funny but I wouldn't call "what if it was race instead of gender" with Chinese impressions brilliant. Kind of dumb actually but he's going to be a hero to the Joe Rogan crowd. Just because it's against the grain doesn't make it right or smart.
He's definitely the funniest guy out there. I don't think anybody else makes me laugh even nearly as much or as hard.
The development of this hard rule against "punching down" is interesting and weird.
Their car broke down and he was giving them a ride.
Le Batard on Chappelle's choice of targets and "punching down," 17:10-19:03
he is, man.
even that whole jussie smollett shit... lots of non-black people probably really don't get his joke/commentary like we do.... but that's how that shit unfolded on bgol.... gays crying on twitter and shit about us not having Jussie's back because he's gay but it had nothing to do with that....it was because we immediately knew he was lying.... not for the reasons that the MAGA people were assuming... we just knew the fucking context didn't make any sense... just like Dave said...
Dave isn't "punching down." He's not shittin' on a Class or caste of peasants or minions or anything, fuck is HE talm bout?
He knows his audience and is addressing LATERAL social issues in his humor. He's amassed wealth and doesn't shy away from making mention of it in any way, but he knows damn well that his audience is working and middle class people. This dude makes it sound like he's Dennis Miller or some anal retentive, smug ass Comedian. Such is not the case at all.
With the clout and persuasion of the LGBTQ+, does this dude think that they are some helpless entity or something? That's laughable.
here's my take on daves subject matter and how he talks about... dave was being purposefully provocative and literally telegraphed it and people STILL freaked out..thats just ridiculous...BUT that sword cuts both ways...Dave isn't "punching down." He's not shittin' on a Class or caste of peasants or minions or anything, fuck is HE talm bout?

Laterally. There is no part of his audience demo that don't also have Gays, Lesbians, or otherwise."With the clout and persuasion of the LGBTQ+, does this dude think that they are some helpless entity or something?"
The bullying and suicide rates among LGBT youth is a serious issue... It is a mistake to think that "the gay mafia" or gay influence in Hollywood makes all gay people Illuminati.
I'm not saying that community can't be joked about but you're misunderstanding a lot if you think targeting gay people is punching up like targeting Wall Street execs.
Nah. This is not even Dave's funniest Netflix
Recency bias like a motherfucker in this thread. It's not bad, but best standup ever? C'mon, fam.

If he's not punching UP at Wall Street, then he's also NOT targeting the Queer in the 1%.
There probably WOULD be outrage, it depends on the delivery and the context. I think you should've said non-white comedian. Why limit it to ADOS? The same reactions would probably be garnered regardless of what Black people within the Diaspora.here's my take on daves subject matter and how he talks about... dave was being purposefully provocative and literally telegraphed it and people STILL freaked out..thats just ridiculous...BUT that sword cuts both ways...
Everyone here laffs at the faux outrage BUT if a nonblack comedian starts talking about ADOS (the 4th or 5th name we're on after negro, colored, afro american, and african american) reparations and some of the contradictions and hypocrisies black people exhibit in some of our arguments and issues in american society....do you think cats here would laff it off or would there would 10 page long outrage thread? mind you like Chappelle, that nonblack comedian is just purposefully being provocative for the sake of free speech and a comedians right to ride the edge in the name of stand up comedy??
What do YOU think would happen?
