He is wrong....
He is. I think he and others took offense to Dave referring to himself as great and his special as better than anything else out during the "speech". Damon kinda alluded to this at the end by referencing his own work and comparative greatness.
I did say IMO...never said its a rule that all need to go by.
He can have all that and still be a jealous crab. Doesn’t matter what he did before he ain’t got it like that anymore and probably thinks he deserves the same accolades as Chapelle. Mike Epps also dogged him saying he’s not from the streets so he should t be doing certain jokes. All these niggas are haters
Sinbad is not Richard Pryor.
Seinfeld is not Chris Rock.
Bill Burr is not Patrice O'Neal.
George Carlin is not Redd Foxx.
Robin Williams is not Eddie Murphy.
These are all different comics with different styles and different energies.
Just let Dave, do Dave...
There is NO way that’s true.
Comedians seem to be like boxers talking shit to each other. He’s an OG and long out of the game and has seen several iterations of comedy. It’s a critique and not an incorrect one. Some comedians can’t do a new special every year. I imagine it’s really hard to come up with new and killer shit. What’s funny varies. Most of Chappelles specials aren’t funny, just clever or bold. His last two weren’t funny at all. The Juicy Smollet and the Beyond Meat lines were hilarious. The rest was preachy and recycled.
Which ones? And what were they labeled in the description box?
Dave's body of work is what changed. Track his comedy and his speeches and you will see that in 4 years it's been more speech type of comedy and less laugh out loud jokes, so Damon is right. No harm, no foul.
Wonder what changed his opinion
My favorite two comedians right there and number 3 ain't no where close to those two. Carlin and Chapelle don't tell jokes, they see life in a unique way, and break it down into humorous observations.
I like Dave; but I liked the skinny funny as Hell Dave of 20 years ago a lot more. The older Dave has gotten a lot more preachy and philosophical.
Seems how he's handled all the respect and adulation he received for walking away from Chappelle Show and big bucks for artistic reasons has caused him to tailor his comedy in ways that come across as "I am now the shit" and you must rotf laughing.
In my opinion too often lately his act lately seems more like that of Lenny Bruce's than the Dave Chappelle I enjoyed so much.
Yep. Chappelle transcended from comedian to social commentator with a sense of humor years ago.
^^^^^^^^^^^^Actually it was hating, talking about him putting out so many specials and are they really “Special”!
Then told us to come see him perform to decide what greatness is.
No, not even close. It's like you're comparing a group of construction worker's cat calling to a group of robed klansmen performing a lynching.
