like he could've walked that bit into an understanding of respecting people and calling them whatever they want to be called

i mean, horray for being right, asshole.
maybe you guys are right and this comedian should have rewritten all his jokes so that nobody was made fun of

for real, dave chappelle used to strike me as a really kind dude. it's a shame.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 30 March 2017 00:29 (seven years ago) link
also i miss his old voice
i always thought of him as a kind dude! it weirds me out that he's more into KIR
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 30 March 2017 00:32 (seven years ago) link
KIR about his kind of mean, obvious iconoclasms. oh you're a cis man who is made uncomfortable by transgender women because you might be attracted to one? how novel.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 30 March 2017 00:34 (seven years ago) link
i also remember with fondness his bit about feeling bad for monica lewinsky because "that's a hard thing to be famous for." he used to seem more empathetic.

This is just such a weird thing to say - like if you agree we're going to be less assholish in the future, why not start now?
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 30 March 2017 01:14 (seven years ago) link
Who and how you make fun of people is kind of central to the concept of comedy - punching down is rarely funny (and thus why conservative comedians are terrible or nonexistent).

i have to say it again: that long-ass story about eating the sandwiches and his kid at school was really lame. and so very long. the weird thing about it was that it wasn't believable at all.
bill burr wastes the last half of his new special telling a shaggy dog story about a gorilla and its also lame. points for committing to a bit though, i guess.
― scott seward, Thursday, 30 March 2017 01:25 (seven years ago) link
I love the sandwich story, esp the line about how a Dave Chappelle bit increases its value

it's not that weird. gender has been fixed for tens/hundreds of thousands of years. there is nothing assholish about accidentally calling someone the wrong pronoun. it may be ignorant, they may just simply be mistaken. it has happened to me many times during my life. i used to have long hair, and i was on a drug that ended up hormonally altering me during my formative years, growing breast tissue, giving me a sort of concave chest and various body issues. whenever i got called "Miss" i knew it was cos the person was ignorant of my condition, or just mistaken, or maybe distracted and/or had bad eyesight. there were all sorts of possible reasons, and jumping down their throat about it was only guaranteed to get everyone angry and start my heart to racing. my gender identity has been a pretty fluid, i shop in the women's section, i used to go on dates and playing shows wearing dresses, and i was heavily involved with the feminist activist community for a good decade and playing in a pan-sexual pan-gender inclusive bands. all this shit doesn't get thrown away cos i laughed at a comedian.

there is a very potent absurdity to the very idea of gender. these silly games us humans play. it is ripe ground for comedians.

dude, please. that is not what chappelle's jokes about transgender people were about.

i've been watching old episodes of Friends with cyrus and i forgot about how freaked out they were by lesbians on that show. it doesn't seem that long ago! but i guess it kinda is in t.v. years. that show is so norm-core to the bone.
also, when they are playing a quiz game and the question comes up "what is joey's favorite food?" and chandler yells out "sandwiches!" i totally laughed harder than during dave's long-ass sandwich story.

there is nothing assholish about accidentally calling someone the wrong pronoun.
true, that one wasn't as bad as the one where he adopts a typical sneaky transgender voice and says "heh heh, let's go out the club and trick some guys into fucking us"
This is the sort of thing that only an established comedian can get away with in his "I'm still here" Netflix special. A young up-and-comer from a new generation would never make this joke. It'll go away.

i've never seen that! he looks like a baby. that one seems like he's at least a little making fun of his own homosexual panic. also the fact that he looks like a baby makes the straight male obsession with gay men seem...typically juvenile.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 30 March 2017 02:18 (seven years ago) link
accidentally, no, of course not, and I don't think anybody is suggesting otherwise. making a statement like "well HER dick is out" and making fun of the juxtaposition of a "she" with "he" parts is. (as is suggesting it isn't "fair" to be expected to play along).
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 30 March 2017 02:30 (seven years ago) link
I've accidentally called the wrong pronoun before - most human beings just apologize and correct themselves at that point and .....that's it.

i have to admit the bit about getting on an airplane and asking the pilot "yo, you wanna live, motherfucker?" was hilarious tho
Nothing is sacred in comedy, it's either all in or out IMO. But whether you find the jokes funny or poor taste is up to you obvs.

no one has ever said comedians can't say what they want. but accordingly, they can fucking suck it up when they say wack things and people point it out.

but he's joking about social awkwardness at parties. isn't this a standard topic for comedians? this is normalizing trans issues in a way.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 30 March 2017 02:54 (seven years ago) link
social awkwardness at parties is so not what was the subject of his joke, even if that's what *you* got from it
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 30 March 2017 02:58 (seven years ago) link
the joke was about navigating a changing world full of chicks with dicks and how socially awkward it is that chicks can have dicks nowadays
