Dave Chappelle: Netflix 'The Closer' review

[CelticBaller]

not as good as the other two specials but still did a good job at pointing out the hypocrisy when it comes to the alphabet people

[Kobe_Bryant]

I saw it live since I'm everywhere at once. it was good but not great. his last special got political but at least it was mostly funny. this one was just a big ranting phoney apology. it was barely even comedy. it was like a pity party. just a ton of "feel sorry for me" bullshit. he was controversial but had to apologize for every joke and do a sob story to make up for it. he used a trans suicide victim as a shield to hide behind like how white people say "I know a black guy so it's cool"

his last 2 specials are hopefully his last 2 specials..

I love Chappelle's stand ups but this is probably one of his worst relatively speaking.

[ArbitraryWater]

I thought it was alright.

Its 100% race / political at this point though, and can feel a little divise.

Often he says something that seems harmless and PC and then tracks back with a joke...

but he said "my problem all along has been white people" and there was no cliffhanger / punchline whatever.

it was a lot of victim talk, to be fairly honest.

but he has funny stories, expressions, ways of saying stuff... that you can listen to it very easily.

also lmao at him being afraid of covid to the point he feared a waitress coming to their table without a mask. this might have even been after he already had it.

he got vaccinated (probably) even though he already had it lol.

some stuff in there that make me think less of him as a complex person.

and at one point just randomly burning trump supporters without a redeeming punchline or counter to the other side.

he also believes women dont get the same amount of money for the same work. they do. more, even.

[ArbitraryWater]

P.S: Why is there a cut with 7.24 left, on Netflix? It's weird. What did they skip there? Cause he goes on about just the thing he just said.

The victim talk was to point out the irony in gay people attacking black men. That’s why he did the cheeky “don’t punch down” to close

i have doubts you could pass a mirror test. you're not a very aware individual.

[highwhey]

he went pretty hard on the gays. i am interested to see what people like PatrickChewing think about this special.

the joke about dababy was some hard hitting truth. people will weaponize their sexual orientation but let murder slide.

[Kobe_Bryant]

he said blacks and feminists are above trans people because they barely fought for shit and got vaulted into the top of the food chain without even really struggling


he said he's admittedly transphobic


this dude obviously Jack's it to lady boys

He said the LGBT whatever movement is going better than Black empowerment and blacks ste jealous of that lol.

I‘m not fond of a lot of LGBetc stuff but thats stupid. They face more obstacles.

Shows you his perspective/bias though.

[iamgine]

It's ok. Some hits, some misses. Certainly not at the same level as his stick and stones.

No they don’t, LGBTWWE has more power in the U.S than black people. You have a foreign concept of gays lol

Nah man all things being equal like class and education neither really face that many obstacles in 2021.

Blacks have way more historical damage than the alphabet people due to the result of slavery and oppression so they're definitely are at more of a disadvantage

Why you always bringing my name up dude? Go be homo on someone else.

what have white folks ever done to him......

Norm was funny to the end.... i don't think Dave will be

I doubt Dave ever experienced much racism, too.

[Vino24]

The woke are really going to try to cancel Dave? Lol this could be interesting

[Derka]

Nah, Chappelle's not getting canceled for these jokes. They're cringe-inducing, sure...but they're not hateful. His overall observation that people only care about trans rights because white men are doing it and people only care about Me Too because wealthy white women got involved is 1,000% on the mark.

Watched it last night. Its fine. I just think I've reached my limit with gay/trans and black/white jokes.

dont ppl care about BLM though?

[ArbitraryWater]

Look at all his 2017 specials...


especially equanimity.


He walked a different swagger / grace.

Face much lighter.


Sweet storytelling that makes you happy.

Varied jokes.


Compared to this one which is 100% white/black/trans/etc. politics.

[Mr. Woke]

Dave sure loves to pander to anti-woke psycho nut jobs.

Anti-wokeness is a cancer that needs to be eradicated.

Give the man a break. It’s been over a year since they could basically perform anywhere. Minus Texas and Florida. I’m not saying Dave hasn’t regressed but it might take some time for comics to “be back”

[ArbitraryWater]

lol cmon his 2017 special was after like 13 years from his last.

its not his ability.

his theme has just gotten a little stale here.

[highwhey]

No they don’t, LGBTWWE has more power in the U.S than black people. You have a foreign concept of gays lol

he's from germany and wants to be accepted by american conservatives, like really badly. i don't think the kid knows what he's talking about. always wondered if it was a language barrier or he's just a mouthbreather.

[AirBonner]

And now he thinks he knows comedy. Because you know Germany is so great at comedy

Nothing wrong with old Chappy. He's just become an old man.

[tomtucker]

I doubt Dave ever experienced much racism, too.

right, so what is his problem now!?

[tomtucker]

And now he thinks he knows comedy. Because you know Germany is so great at comedy

they actually are, time and time again they have elected a leader that destroyed their own country.........

no, not Hitler , Angela ****ing Merkel, the communist muzzie lover :facepalm

pretty laughable

[fsvr54]

Woke people deserve to be shit on.

[j3lademaster]

[Patrick Chewing]

About to be removed from Netflix in 3...2...

[DoctorP]

I actually think that this was some of Chapelles best work. It's honest and human and cutthroat at the same time.

[CelticBaller]

"So, you are telling me a white woman is the showrunner for Dear White People, a show about the struggles that black Americans face, and is boycotting a black comedian," one user tweeted. "Hmmm, Chappelle has a new bit."


'Dear White People' trended on Twitter after its showrunner called out Dave Chappelle's 'transphobic' comments (https://www.insider.com/dear-white-people-jacklyn-moore-dave-chappelle-netflix-2021-10)

:oldlol:

[Nanners]

Pretty good special overall

I cant believe they let him do the bit about space jews :oldlol:

the bits are literally writing themselves, it's like nobody listened to the point he was trying to make :lol

[DoctorP]

He likes roasting jews now. I guess his Hollywood experience left him with some scars.

[ArbitraryWater]

I'm confused...


I gotta see this one again because I did not notice anything egregious that could offend people, really.

[fsvr54]

:oldlol:

Those two bitches in the front :roll:

[Code Breaker]

It was ok not his best work but enough to be enjoyable. Side note looks like he's finally off the juice. He looks a lot slimmer and closer to his natural weight.

[Mulder]

David Chappelle doesn't do it for me.
I find him foul mouth, juvenile, and boorish.

He needs to drop the cancer sticks and stop using -N- word.

[Horatio33]

He just seemed to use the whole special to say "poor me." He was very defensive and it got boring.

[PerkinsFor3]

You sound like a stay-at-home mom from Salt Lake City.

Funny how the John Gruden stuff proves Dave’s point just days after the release lol

what exactly does that woman do at netflix.


and whats a closed door meeting.

i dont get the context of the chappelle bit

What does she do? She kicks down the door during private executive meetings and seethes about chappelle making jokes... What is her job? Probably customer support or advertising.

Sounds like a publicity stunt if anything.

Netflix is no different than Facebook. They know controversy equals viewership.

The more people who hear about this “shocking controversy” the more people will be inclined to watch the special and see what it’s about.

Shit is fish in a barrel for dem corporate typeses.

I dont really disagree... also the idea that butch trans women are doing publicity for Dave Chappelle is almost as funny as the special :oldlol:

Probably slipped her a lil extra bonus cash for hormones and hair dye in exchange for a staged “blow up.”

Trannies gotta eat too.

I doubt it. Go on Twitter and you’ll see a lot of people who look like her act the same way lol

[FultzNationRISE]

No doubt about it, but if it actually works at Netflix and has an incentive to see the special do well... then I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to know it did something like this on purpose for promotion.

Ofc I wouldn't be surprised either if it's simply unhinged and had a genuine meltdown. But this is definitely the kind of textbook marketing you'd draw up when trying to promote a release.

[Charlie Sheen]

Earlier I read something about Ace Ventura is the most offensive film ever because Jim Carrey puked when he found out the cop was a tranny :lol

[Derka]

If he was feeling the heat, he'd be more willing to bend. He's not doing that. I think if anything, he's upset that the press narrative around the whole thing is likely misconstrued because that's what the press does.

For my part, I have zero issues being 100% supportive of trans rights while also being 100% in support of any stand-up comic's right to say what they want and make fun of them and everyone else.

[hold this L]

He said no to 50 million $ when he had far, far less money than he has now. It's pretty obvious Dave doesn't give a shit, otherwise he wouldn't continue making fun of them. He's past the point of feeling heat.
