Bad Chappelle Bits

He needs a new bit; this is just tiresome.

this was inevitable

did he publicly deny he recognized them somewhere? not clear from these posts. not surprised either way.

chappelle also kind of looks like ru paul in those large-frame glasses which makes this doubly funny

I assumed that the revive was to commemorate Netflix gifting him with another special.

“chappelle reads harry potter”

it's really bugging me that Boebert wrote "there's only two" rather than "there are only two"

ever since singular ppl became “they are noe rules ppl, deal

“‘they,’ there are” whatevs

B+ for effort on that joke at least

Double down--new special:https://deadline.com/2023/12/dave-chappelle-trans-disabled-people-the-dreamer-netflix-special-1235683999/

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

If I boot this up and see no puppets, I'm going to be very disappointed in you, frogs.

the puppets are in the audience, man

also gotta say this really underscores what a loser Elon Musk is, really pathetic to get booed by the same crowd that thinks "if I'm sentenced to jail in California I will identify as a woman so I go into woman's jail" is a good joke

whiney i hope you're limbering up this is gonna take a lot of stretching

has our Whines done that much Save-a-Daveing? feel like literally only Jeff Dunham superfans, as frogbs invokes, could possibly think his act was worth a shit now

The trans stuff was as lame and gross as everyone says but I was cackling through the rest 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

I do love frogbs devotion to watching every Chappelle clip available like the Tom Hanks SNL skit where everyone keeps drinking from the carton of spoiled milk

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

*did it

I watched all of two minutes of this shit but if you wanna drop the timestamps of the bits you were cackling at be my guest

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.

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.

i think about transness all the fucking time! i assume chapelle only thinks about trans people when he's scraping the bottom of the barrel (which i guess is all the time now)

dude obv said this BS at the top of his unfunny show in hopes anyone besides his stupid fans would retake notice of him.

At some point he realized people were there for the anti-trans jokes

I love watching a special where you can see the audience is like 90% Black people and ILX spends an entire day saying they’re only there to be stupid and do hate crimes

Like everyone here agrees that Chappelles trans material is gross and sucks, but the constant fan fiction about what goes on in the heads of his fans is … kind of weird?

It turns out WE are the real bigots

I don’t know if you ever heard the old racist media canard that all Black ppl are homophobic, but you’re pretty close to perpetuating it if you’re suggesting the literal arenas he was co-filling this year were wall to wall Lil Boosie types

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that’s exactly what we were all suggesting.

ha ha ok whiney c'mon

literally what you have always done about everything you don't like!

who can say what goes on in the heads of those squealing with laughter upon Dave's 28th variation of the attack helicopter joke

I will say that if you actually watch the special, the trans stuff was not the biggest audience reactions

literally what you have always done about everything you don't like!

xp so they like the stuff about disabled people a bit more?

In some ways, this feels like the inverse of the “Pitchfork loves R. Kelly” years

Whiney would you still stan for Chapelle if he makes Jewish jokes, honest question.

Most of his most recent SNL monologue was that!

Like not necessarily Kanye level “I luv Hitler” just real basic “they got big noses and love money right, but you got to hand it to them they stick together”.

I assume Whiney'd just trot out "the audience wasn't particularly offended" again...

I mean

He did on SNL, sort of!

I mean, again, the trans material is 100% indefensible, but so is Eddie Murphy’s gay material and a lot of Robin Williams accents and hoo boy a whole bunch of Lenny Bruce… like he’s not the only comedian you have to compartmentalize for

maybe not when one is leaning haaaard into it in 2024 man?

lenny bruce for fucks sake
