I remember reading that Will Ferrell's one-man show about Dubya was pretty searing, but I haven't seen it and I don't want to.

I actually only just learned that he was on SNL after googling to find out his name. I was referring to those wandering phone vids.

putting makeup on him and putting him on SNL really blunts the surreal impact
Honestly, having an actually expert impersonation of Trump on SNL is in itself pretty surreal

This reminds me of the profoundly cursed Tribute To New York City concert, where Will Ferrel came out as Bush to uproarious, non-ironic applause and delivered great satire such as "we were going to bomb Afghanistan back to the stone age, but turns out they're already there!". Kind of a precedent for current era SNL's shtick of "the joke is that this person is pretending to be a politician you admire and you get to clap for them".

yeah, the fact that comedians thought you couldn't do political comedy after 9/11 was a pretty big tell about political comedy in general

Chappelle's brilliant comeback here (best comedian alive even still, some people insist) should be put into the context that the cheapest seats for his show tonight in Sacramento (section 216 pictured below) are $176 dollars, the only ones remaining under $200. pic.twitter.com/4ejpI4DwSa— Matt Lech (@MattLech) December 12, 2022

We know what we know about Chappelle and his take on trans people. We kinda don't need more proof, especially if it's specious

seeing some clips from this and it looks like Chappelle is straight up a Jeff Dunham-level comedian now. obviously there's no one like this here but do those who actually love the anti-trans shit actually think this shit is funny? it's like the same variations of the One Joke that boomers have been making for decades now

Didn’t Dave Chappelle mysteriously disappear after 8:46 and never appear in public again? That’s what happened in my universe, anyway.

I mean I just would not watch the guy now even if I thought it was funny because I think of him as a guy who's helping other people justify their anti-trans hatred, he's actively doing harm & getting paid for it. I can get my lols elsewhere, this is the Burzum principle for me, some of those records kick fucking ass if you like metal but nah man I'll live.

after he got attacked on stage and joked "a trans man didn't" or w/e, I was at a bar later that weekend and two douchey dudebros at the bar were talking about the attack, talking about how badass it was that Dave was getting to people and how it was a trans person that attacked him and just making mockery of that.
seeing him use his platform to basically put people in the crosshairs intentionally and seeing how easily it's lapped up makes me not want anything to do with him ever again. i don't care if he managed to be as funny as Killing Me Softly again, he's a hateful dude now and that's all I think of when I hear him speak

A good observation from Twitter:
at this point I think Dave Chapelle thinks about transness more often than many actual trans people do. Many trans people spend time thinking about books they’ve read or beverages they’d like to try and Dave is sitting in his mansion gripping a remote control so hard it breaks

shortly after his first transphobic special me and some transmasc friends were walking around in portland when a couple of guys started "flirting" with us by threatening to breed us. (not sure whether I was included in this or not - I pass pretty well and often present sort of butch.) they followed that up with "we're down with dave chappelle, you know what i mean?"
anyway we just walked away quickly, and they didn't follow us, and we didn't have to get into an altercation or anything. it all worked out ok.
i'm sure chappelle is extremely funny when he's not talking about trans people.
― Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 18:37 (nine months ago) link
ehhh. when i get thirsty for other trans people i think about trans people a lot. maybe even as much as chappelle does.

It’s unfair to say Chapelle spends all his time thinking about trans people; he also spends his time opposing modest affordable housing developments in the town he owns.
