I used to be lukewarm about Dave Chappelle’s comedy,” says Travis Merks of Calgary, “but I’m really coming around to him now that he’s awful.”
LOL that was a solid one, Beaverton.
This is too good: I couldn’t tell if it was satire until I looked at the comments.
Dave Chappelle isn’t funny anymore
anymore
I mean, it’s not like he was a lot funnier in the past. I think his performance is pretty much the same. How people perceive comedy is subjective of course, but I don’t think I never really laughed at his stuff. Smiled perhaps.
His delivery is some sort of interesting though and he’s fun to listen to.
I disagree with this point, I thought he was fucking hilarious before. but he is so goddamn preachy now even not counting the trans stuff.
So you agree that how people perceive comedy is subjective, I guess. Could it be that he ridiculed people you don’t care about before?
No not when you take his jokes out of context and eliminate the tone and any familiarity with his style of delivery.
His tone and delivery doesn’t make his whining about being ‘canceled’ or his bigoted jokes from the last five or so years better.
I haven’t heard either of those things.
Usually the punchlines of his jokes aren’t true statements, you understand that right, he’s joking? People are laughing?
My favourite joke was when he said that if he went to prison he’d say he was a woman and rape everyone - that was hilarious, and definitely not a screaming self-report.
What way your favourite joke about those icky transes?
As someone who watched the first 5 netflix special he did, they get progressively less funny and he leans way more into culture war bs. If it was a comedian telling Trump jokes for an hour I’d turn it off too.
Chappelle: I’d like to announce my new special, “Let’s get TERFy”. It’s just me in front of a brick wall making transphobic jokes for an hour. It cost 80 million dollars.
Interviewer: How do you sleep at night?
Chappelle: On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies.
Dave became a rich old white hick. It’s not just bad trans humor, it’s old, tired ass bad trans humor. Same style of jokes rich old racist morons use. Hicks absolutely love that kind of empty headed shit though, so they defend him.
Now the fact that Dave disappeared to FUCKING OHIO and “worked on comedy” in fucking OHIO tells you everything you need to know about how fucking unfunny Dave Chappelle is now.
I used to be a huge fan. Now he’s just not funny anymore bigot or no.
Now the fact that Dave disappeared to FUCKING OHIO and “worked on comedy” in fucking OHIO tells you everything you need to know about how fucking unfunny Dave Chappelle is now.
I don’t think Yellow Springs, OH is the reason Dave Chappelle is now a transphobic asshole, as you’re suggesting. Yellow Springs was first started as an attempt to create a socialist utopia. It’s super hippie dippy, and home to a notable liberal arts school. It’s historically much much more liberal than the rest of Ohio.
Also he’s lived there since like 2005, well before his transition into a transphobic asshole.
In my opinion, the reason is money, along with the “fuck you I got mine” attitude that comes with oodles and oodles of money.
Dude was a guy who was totally willing to call bullshit to things and stand up for people.
But then for some reason, he saw a group of marginalized individuals being mistreated, feeling isolated and committing suicide and said, “Let me fuck with them too.”
The karma is when his kids turn on him.
It wasn’t just tired-arse bad trans humour, it was tired-arse bad humour. I got 17 minutes in before I had to stop - I got past the offensive jokes, and then I was stuck listening to jokes other comedians were telling 20 years ago. If I’d kept listening, I’m sure he eventually would’ve made a joke about airline food.
He’s been smoking so much weed the last 20 years the world passed him by.
I’m not a coward about words, but I’ve had this point deleted by mods before.
Malcolm describes the difference between the “house **gro” and the “field **gro.”
If someone came to the house **gro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” naturally that Uncle Tom would say, “Go where? What could I do without boss? Where would I live? How would I dress? Who would look out for me?” That’s the house **gro. But if you went to the field **gro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” he wouldn’t even ask you where or how. He’d say, “Yes, let’s go.” And that one ended right there.

The Beaverton is Canadian Satire news. Don’t ya feel like an idiot now lmao
The only thing better than watching a bully make an ass of themselves is when they do it trying to mock someone else for not understanding something when they are actually the person who doesn’t understand. I’ve seen two today already, the assholes are out in force!
Tl;dr: wicked self own bro.
The Beaverton is like a Canadian Onion of sorts.
