Dave Chapelle is TERRIBLE now

[LangfordBarrow]

Gnosticism is pretty fascinating. Quran has al zutt moments, Torah is... Yeah, Bible has the bears and kids, most eastern stuff is an esoteric rabbit hole.
I think there are aliens out there. Probably a bunch billions of years old, probably a bunch we would view as God or like Olympus demi gods. I always wonder if one randomly showed up out of boredom and screwed around for fun. With time and space as they are and how finite my existence is u doubt it matters but cosmic horror is interesting.

If you're going to believe in any of that you might as well believe in the rest...

 

[Rygu]

Well he doesn't really do stand up comedy now, he just preaches his beliefs to people with the odd funny line here and there.

I think he's one of the best of all time but definitely not the GOAT as he self-proclaims

I don't buy until really any direct religion. As far as alien's, absolutely. The odds are so stacked, there's no way we are the only thing out there or even the most advanced thing. How far would mankind's technology go in a billion years if we survive. I think it would go to the point those people would have the power of God at their finger tips. Look at the last 5000 years.
That's my best guess, we aren't alone and we aren't the most advanced

How is he a muslim when he drinks and womanizes. He smokes weed too. Zina or adultery is "haram".

Exactly my point.



Wouldn't say this description is accurate.

It says 'he does not discuss his religion publicly' & 'he has used his platform to educate others about his religion.'

But as you said he womanizes, smokes weed, married an Asian woman who doesn't practice Islam, and although his kids haven't been in public life I've never seen any mention of them practicing Islam.

In fact, his aiding of the dispersement of anti-Israel propaganda is the most Islamic thing he's ever performed publicly.


Even that lame 'comedy' bit was contradictive. He says performing in Saudi Arabia wasn't against his principles, and he didn't clarify his principles (gaslighting his critics). Quickly mentioned the murder of one journalist by the Saudis and transfered over to the 'whataboutism' argument.

Don't get me wrong, I actually have little problem with Saudi Arabia and have no problem with comedians performing there. They've progressively relaxed many of their cultural standards over the last few decades, although they have many more decades of progress ahead of them.
And, ironically, they're one of the more 'Israeli-friendly' Muslim countries. (Yes I know of the exceptions)

Dave Chappelle should just own it, rather than pathetically deflecting.

The fame has gotten his head so fat. I want to listen to stand up, not him telling stories on stage inserting a joke or two here and there. We dont give a fuck about your politics, we want to laugh.

He seems like he thinks he is some kind of profound philosopher now. I want some Rick James shit, not Israel Palestine bullshit.

It’s unfortunate but look at Mike Tyson or Conor McGregor? Too much fame, money, and puts whatever fire that’s left out!

I like Shane Gillis. I cannot stand Rogans band of unfunny comics.

 

[cincymma79]

it’s not funny. it’s chummy bar stool humor. i can get that from a buddy any time. homeless guy jacking off on the bus is my favorite. he hasn’t had a single joke i’ve quoted in may years now. famous for too long. it’s happening to bill burr too.

I noticed that awhile ago. Was one of my fav comedians at one point. Haven't even bothered watching his new special.

George Carlin is the GOAT

 

[whocares]

Considering bitch ass snowflake conservatives and goofy autistic woke outrage hobbyists are the target of the jokes, it makes sense that they would be offended (which gets them off way more than a joke in 2025). It's still funny, and comedy heads still get it. Of course the people who are getting their assholes excoriated don't think it's funny. But then they're the last people on earth fit to judge comedy.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

I haven’t seen his stuff in a long time, but I’m sure he hasn’t lost a step. He can really write. I’m just burned out in standup comedy.

 

[Neck&Neck]

He’s kinda sucked ever since his voice changed and he can’t do his character voices like he used to

 

[F1980]

It's like listening to a really good priest during sermon, where they crack jokes sometimes.

 

[Fug]

I remember him saying that I shouldn't listen to him if I don't agree with his politics. I still enjoy his comedy. Imagine if Edison or the Wright brothers said the same thing. Don't use our inventions if you don't vote like us. Whatever dudes

 

[Lord_Impaler]

The beginning was hilarious when he was telling jokes but unfortunately he only did that for like 20 minutes and then told an hour of long boring stories. It was 20 minutes of great stand up and than an hour long brutal diatribe lol.

 

[clutchCAT420]

In hindsight this is apparent for every comedian that went to the riyadh comedy festival. Kevin hart is the only guy who never lied about who he was. Pete Davidson going was pretty bad. producers could get him to take it in any hole the guy has no dignity or scruples, he has proven that he will do anything for money.

Pete is scum and his followers. Hes been passed around too by producers etc like Sydney. Most likely has been treated for proctitis..

 

[CasualBot]

Yeah it's a struggle to relate to a guy who spends the first half of the special bragging about being a capitalist. The fuck was that?

The TI story was funny enough, and the "i stand with israel" closer actually hit the nail on the head...

But it's still hard to ignore his saudi arabia bullshit take on pretending he was "almost canceled" over trans jokes.

Delusional considering he bragged about buying an entire town. Nutty idea.

Funny i had it the other way around.

First half seemed odd, talking about being a capitalist.

Second half got me laughing.

Agreed.

And I used to be a fan of him comedy.

 

[ShadowRun]

I watched it, thought it was ok had some funny parts. His Kaep shirt was dumb lol but whatever. It kills the humor if they get too political (even if I agree with them) but I don't think he went that far. He got attacked on staged and people tried to cancel him a few years ago for his trans jokes.

 

[Emporio Alnino]

He's been terrible for years now.

 

[RichardHarrow]

The older guys are still hilarious IMO. Chapelle, Bill Burr, Gabrielle Iglesias. I think the only young cat who has promise is Matt Rife.

not a fan of Shane Gilligan?
