Dave Chappelle - "Killin' 'Em Softly"

not you, Shakey; Granny Dainger

yes because my opinions don't match up 100% with yours I'm a full of shit total clown. got it. peace I'm going outside, try it some time.

i have made no judgement whatsoever of people who watched and enjoyed these specials. i'm reacting to your reaction to people not enjoying it by coming out condescending and mealy mouthed garbage like:

"feel bad for people who seem to be unable to take off their "liberal crusader" hat any time ever".

oh you do? great, i feel bad for the fact that you're a cunt.

like he could've walked that bit into an understanding of respecting people and calling them whatever they want to be called, and he *still* could've worked in the "a medical emergency is not the time to argue about these distinctions" joke/premise but he didn't bother. It made the whole bit just feel exploitative, an opportunity for him to do his p boneheaded stereotypical-flouncing-homo impression and "her dick is hanging out" lines.

xp

i fondly remember the dave chappelle who pointed out that WB cartoons promoted rape culture over this i really really liked bill cosby rapist superhero apologist

more name calling. that's what cunts do!

p much agree with Shakey last few posts. they were basically lame jokes, the end.

wait are you posting from outside now

lol Shakey

the first person to do anything remotely approximating "calling names" was sleepingbag (granted it was mild), the second one was....actually you, Granny

and then i brought it on home

you've always been a sanctimonious clown, tho, is the thing

the pronoun stuff is hilarious. some people act like we are living in the year 2050

all these years i just thought adam was stupid

i love being right

fuck you

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

maybe he also should have rewritten them so that they were jokes

and did not seem embittered by the existence of other people

for real, dave chappelle used to strike me as a really kind dude. it's a shame.

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

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.

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.

these were both p bad. bummer.

his empathy was always one of the things i liked most about him

xp

come on gay cpr is a gag you could see on Modern Family

fuck that show too while we're here

like there were some glimpses of the old Dave there and some legitmately funny bits but too many of these jokes were like some Rob Schneider shit

some people act like we are living in the year 2050

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?

maybe you guys are right and this comedian should have rewritten all his jokes so that nobody was made fun of

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).

tough crowd in here...

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.

I love the sandwich story, esp the line about how a Dave Chappelle bit increases its value

*bite

some people act like we are living in the year 2050

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.

HERP

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

And there's the DERP

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

xp

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.

this is probably the first time i ever saw him. and i always remembered the moving to the village and having the nightmare about the guy putting a gun to his head and the biting the penis off thing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBJXIuzRnyI

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.

there is nothing assholish about accidentally calling someone the wrong pronoun.

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).

I've accidentally called the wrong pronoun before - most human beings just apologize and correct themselves at that point and .....that's it.
