I don’t like everything Chappelle says, but at least he’s his own man, and not just blindly spouting DNC propaganda, like most so-called “Comedians” do these days.
“Oh, and one more thing. The punch line at the end is awesome. Wait for it.”
Incredible, cannot believe he went there!
(hopefully, I’ll get a chance to watch it)
I watched that yesterday afternoon. Recommended.
Yes indeed!

I was confused by that a first (I’m getting older). But now I get it.
Clever!
There is a story about Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman while filming Marathon Man. Hoffman was discussing his method acting and Olivier asked him, “Can’t you just... act?”
A true classic.
Dave Chappelle hasn’t changed. He still tells the same brand of jokes that he did 20 years ago. Back then Gen Xers loved him. He had his own TV show. He was adored.
But now? Now, why do they hate him? Why do they protest and boycott him? He hasn’t changed.
Maybe Wokeism has infested their effing brains so much so that they can’t see the humour in anything without getting triggered.
It is funny, and a great metaphor at the end.
Dave has been a genius since the day he was born… i have followed him for years
He tells the truth, always has. But we all know that truth isn’t looked at favorably these days…Cuz “MY TRUTH IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS! ( says the freaks who misgender themselves)”
Brilliant setup😆 I like Chappelle- he’s a funny guy.
Not funny and who cares. I see funnier stuff on Twitter. Sam Kinison was 100x funnier and Jim Cary had his moments.
Not only was it witty, it was factually true.
You are right about it not being Alec Guinness, Olivier...Sir Laurence Olivier. I messed up because I like Guinness better, better movies and more to my liking I guess.
It was Olivier that was speaking about the insanity of method acting. He didn’t much cotton to Brando either, liked his work but thought he was a kook. Jim Carrey will end his life much like Brando. At least Robin Williams was just riffing from his insane brain. Andy Kauffman was also loco in the cabeza.
I just watched this special. Classic Chappelle. The “joke” is actually a perfect analogy. The special itself has a great message and plenty of good laughs
The way to win is through mockery, because they can’t stand being mocked.
Bump for later
Dave Chappelle criticized Israel’s bombing of Gaza at a performance in Boston in which the comedian accused the U.S. of aiding the slaughter of innocent civilians. In the show at TD Garden on Thursday, Chappelle first condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, but criticized what he said were war crimes in Gaza, according to people in attendance.
The comments came up when Chappelle said he didn’t think students should lose job offers for supporting Palestinians. An audience member’s command for the comedian to shut up drew an emotional response from Chappelle, who criticized the Israeli government for cutting off water and other essentials to Gaza and accused it of killing innocent people, according to the attendees.
Some audience members cheered Chappelle on and shouted “Free Palestine,” while others yelled, “What about Hamas,” the attendees said. Some in the crowd got up and left. Toward the conclusion of his show, he said of Israeli policies and the Hamas attacks that two wrongs don’t make a right, the people said.
A spokeswoman for Chappelle said he “denies being in Boston last night.”
There are lots of free thinking comedians. Comedians are the only ones giving any hope at all. I’d suggest finding different sources of comedy if you can’t find any free thinking comedians to listen to. They’re definitely out there.
Right, you don’t have to like everything he says. But he speaks his mind!
