Loved it!!
New Dave Chappelle Special” The Closer” October 5th
- Thread starter REDLINE
- Start date
Not really that funny, but......
Good that he showed them Jews that he ain't scared of them.
Good on him that he showed them LGBTQ mfs he ain't scared of them.
Usually that's the kiss of death for a black man .
When he said for the LGBT community to stop 'punching down' on 'his tribe', he was talking about comedians (who been getting in trouble and having careers ruined by jokes and tweets and shit), not black people.

In every special using the same premise and almost the same joke(s)?
That part. But talking about how the lgbtq has hijacked the civil rights movement that black people fought centuries for and doing it in the period Of 20 years oh, Dave talked about that shit and he was right
If that's all we had to do black people would have been free back in 1879
Respect fam, you are entitled to your opinion, but I didn't take it that way, because he spent the lion's share of the special talking about how feminists, white gays and white trans people "claim" to be minorities, and just as oppressed as black people, but whenever they need to, they pull out the "I'm white" visa card with all its perks and privileges - and shit on us....
so a black woman for example, can stand with white women for "women's issues"... but when it comes time for white women to stand with black women... oh.. that ain't us... that's a black issue... you on your own... (As Sojourner Truth said; "Ain't I a woman?)
or the way horrible crimes can be committed against me and mine, and no one bats an eyelash- but if you even so much as hurt their feelings, there will be hell to pay....
So when he said that at the end, I took it to mean black people, not "cancelled" comedians. If I remember right, he actually says at one point; "My problem has never been with xxxx people... it has always been with white people. I don't think he would have said that if he meant that final statement in the way you understood it.
Great thing about great art is that it is open to interpretation and both of us can be right.. (or wrong, lol)

It was not his best, but it was entertaining.
Your argument can be used with literally every comedian, though your statement is not really an argument.
It's just trolling
WHAT?!?! Not arguing, not even a statement. If you notice I ended with a ?uestion mark. So I asked a ?uestion, but if don't want to have a conversation where you can express an opinion to change the opinion of someone else that is cool. But then again I am known on here as a major troll so this goes against my whole statement.
You be posting some nice ass broads bro
This was the funniest Dave I’ve seen in years, up until the end when he started preaching. If he cut out the last half hour it would have been perfect.
Gays are going to kill him though

I took the statement the same way. You spoke on more points than I'm going to list, but out the gate he mentioned Tha baby. TB is a rapper;not a comedian. TB is also black. I could also be wrong, but punching down on my people is black people.
I couldn't disagree more. The thought-provoking realness is a major part of his comedic art. He says what his peers are afraid to say.
That's exactly how I interpreted it as well.
==========EDIT====================
After re-watching the special, I agree more so with @snark9. It sounds more like Dave is referring to his tribe of comedians being pressured to walk on egg shells concerning the alphabet squad.

O ok, maybe it's something lost in translation.
Most people have zero criteria on what is considered 'the best'. It's just emotion for most people. Dave Chapelle has been called the best by the best.
‘Dear White People’ Co-Showrunner Jaclyn Moore on Why She’s Boycotting Netflix Over Transphobic Dave Chappelle Special (EXCLUSIVE)

DaBaby isn't a comedian. He pleaded the alphabet people to not cancel him right before he delivered that line.
He's not telling jokes.. He's telling stories that happen to be funny. I'm fine with that. He has evolved to the point where his opinion matters.
I will sail that bitch up the river with no paddles...brah
Shit was hilarious!
You should probably watch the set again. Large theme was hypocrisy and double standards of alphabet mafia and trans community as it pertains to fight for so-called equality. Im sure he purposely left some ambiguity there but its clear who he really meant by his "tribe".
Also no coincidence he used his last contractual obligation to shit on dam near everybody while daring them to do something about it.
The District.

I think people get confused by what a comedic bit is.
his last story about his trans friend who died isn’t a bit to make you laugh. It’s a story about how that community and how dangerous social media can be. With this cancel culture bullshit.
Dave has reached a point when he can no longer be critiqued in my book. He’s been too great for too long.

Not surprised by this
Dave seemed genuine
They really try to make it something it’s not
www.npr.org
For Dave Chappelle, punchlines are dares. His new special, 'The Closer,' goes too far
In his new Netflix special, Dave Chappelle tries — and often fails — to justify button-pushing jokes about gay people, transgender people and feminists.

I have not seen it yet
But saw clips
I Liked the da baby joke
Which apparently a lot people on both sides
did NOT appreciate
which is a little surprising
But I will say I'm a little tired of the LGBTQ jokes from Dave at this point.
I doubt there is anything new to address and it's gonna be twisted as bullying at some point.
I think the brother needs a little break
But I'm going to chill with any real comments till I watch this.
It's like Dave took just about everything thing that needed to be said and put it in it's proper context. Once I realized where this special was going, I just got comfortable in my chair. Whoever disagreed was gonna prove his point after. And he still left some things out.
LGBTQ Advocates Slam Dave Chappelle's Netflix Special Over Transphobic Comments
The comedian supported J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans views and said “gender is a fact” in his new special “The Closer.”
He proved his point. Don't piss off the alphabet people.

If anyone reads that and has issues with that family?
whatever you choose to formally identify as?
Your a piece of sh*t.
Simple as that.
They ain't sell their soul for a college fund.
And if you think that?
It says everything about YOU and nothing about them.
