I met him once in a comedy club in new york during his time away from the spotlight. He didnt really perform comedy, was just speaking with us mostly, making fun of us, talking about society, etc. He stayed until 3 am or so. It was very unique. I think he wanted to feel like a person, and we did manage to do that for him that day.
@@googenheimers no, it was before the time of youtube I think. There was no filming going on. He told me to watch red dawn because im Russian. Afraid, I still havent done so haha.
I gotta be honest, I would compromise many of my morals for 50 million…. Hell a whole lot less than 50 million. Do Dave’s a great guy…. He’s stronger than me that’s for sure! Lol 😂
@@kellygriffin8232you just admitted to giving your human rights up for money that will eventually run out with the lifestyle you would have to fund off that same 50 million. Smh
Yes, Dave Chappelle is very funny. Sure, he makes points I like. But, so do millions of activists. Just because somebody is funny and entertaining does NOT make them a "genius". Doing real hard mathematics, civic and city planning, logistics, doing ordinary retail jobs, trucking, science and technology, both original creative work like research AND noncreative but still VERY USEFUL work -- THAT is genius. Some comedian does not need to be "genius" or "brilliant" to make funny points. I wish people would stop conflating the two.
@@themack5131 If I get 50 million it isn't gonna run out, tf you on? I could buy nice things and still live the rest of my life on 50 mil, i would compromise my morals in a heartbeat
"They" need to stop blocking any words. We don't need them to protect our 'tender ears' from words we already use in daily life. Censorship is abuse of power.
I’ve seen Dave twice in 2021 and 2022 with Chris Rock. He is a very intelligent man, who humours, educates and challenges the minds of his audience. He is the best of the best. He is human like us all and thank you for demonstrating that in this video
The reason I love Dave is because he is incredibly middle of the road. He leans more towards being a Democrat but he has no problem opposing and supporting issues and problems on both sides. He’s realistic with his views and most of all, despite him usually going off into a speech sometime in his specials, it never feels like he’s lecturing the audience, it just feels like he’s telling us important stories. Like how many other comedians can seamlessly weave in the story of Emmett Till into a comedy special and make it feel organic. His public speaking is a genuine talent.
This is why I'd love to kick back for a day with him and Keanu, both just seem like down to earth dudes with some cool stories to tell. There's a lot of celebrities I like, but wouldn't want to meet because I know there'd be that disconnect, like we're both human but live on different planets. Maybe that feeling would be there for Dave and Keanu too but damn it'd be cool to hang with either or both for a day
one of the greatest comedians simply because he speaks his mind, it's a shame as soon as netflix drops him due to too much heat and them being selfish, he won't have any large platforms to speak his mind anymore...
Many of the legends are. I know people say Carlin got super preachy by the end of his stand up career but to me that was still par for course for his 90s and early 2000s bits. One of the writers of Chappelle show, the late great Paul Mooney also contributed to bits in the show that made you think about things for a moment.
Chappelle is un-cancelable because he goes after everybody. People need to learn how to take jokes and that's what Chappelle does, he makes people laugh when he is making fun of others, and then he makes fun of you. And if your upset, he makes fun of you more.
@django9427 nah seriously no joke me and a friend use to call each other queer$ back in middle school nobody gave af but now you'll be hunted like a rabid dog
Comedy is social commentary... That is what makes it funny... Showing people in a joke, the issues around us... Forcing you to look at yourself in a way you don't feel bad... That is and always been comedy... Look back to the Jesters of old the only ones that could tell the KIng what they thought and not be killed... That is the beautiful thing about comedy...
There’s no reason to cancel Dave If you want politically incorrect comedy you watch Dave If you want politically correct comedy you watch Hanna gatsby Can we agree not to try heckle the one we don’t like
he's not "refusing to be silenced." he's refusing to take criticism and reap what he sows. u openly say hurtful shit and you'll b met w/ responses from ppl who recognize that its hurtful. there's no middle ground here
God bless and protect Dave Chappelle all of us. Humans need to stand up for what’s right there’s no difference under the skin in our bodies are hearts in our souls so anyone that sees the difference is definitely colorblind and hateful. Thank you.
I see a lot of comments not understanding the issue that's actually behind Dave Chappel nowadays, rather than give you the essay there's an incredible video by F.D Signifier that breaks it down in more depth than this, simply because he's more qualified. Very much recommend you hear him out
Met him when he came to my restaurant. I offered to take care of his meals but he still ended up paying and tipping all of my staff. Before he left, he took the time to talk to my staff and even took pics and signed autographs. Dave is a Legend.
Amen to that.. Back when a young ass teen me watched The Colbert Report n that other show i can't remember the name of right now.. Great times.. Back when Comedy Central was worth my time..
Chappelle Show and The Man Show were just amazing. Now at 40 years old I sound like my dad and gramps when I tell my kids “back in my day there was girls on trampoline’s and a black guy in the KKK”
I met him after the moving to Africa, he was with his family and I stopped walking towards him. Me and him lock eyes, then he nods to me. After he walked his family up, he came back down and took a picture with me after waiting for me to get the free time to do so. He is a real guy.

@@1Mutton1have you ever heard the quote: “You are the sum of the 5 closest people to you”. People are literally built by the interactions and memories they have/their past experiences. How would that not apply here?
I love how you said, "down to *him* celebrity status," because I heard that in a Jamaican accent and that made me think of Mr. Nice Guy from Half-Baked
In South Africa people knew who he was but we just left him alone. The celeb culture in the USA has caused many mental health issues & tragic ends. Just leave these people alone and let them do what they love
@user-es7fc7ee6d not so sure about that. Sure, you can't make alot of money easily or quick, but you can make money anywhere in the world if you buckle down and work hard. But that depends on what you do. But I believe you can leave quite easily. If you're really desperate, live on next to nothing for a few months (spaghetti with mince meat, minute steak, chicken fillets, etc. Meat is cheap here. If you can do that, get two minute noodles, etc. Don't use a aircon, save the money, etc. Get a cheap plane seat that costs like 7k or maybe 12k max and fly to the US and just make sure you get a place to stay ahead of time... or rather go to a country that had cheaper basic necessities, like Prague.) There are plenty of European countries that are cheap to live in. Find one you like. And then just go to it. But here's the thing, that's scary to do. The problem isn't money to get a ticket, it's doing it... Italian Americais moved to the US with a whole family and NO money and made a living. Nigerians too. But that's easy because they had nothing, if you have something in SA, you're afraid to lose it for a while.
Dave Chappell was the reason I started watching comedy standup ups I remember watching his show on Netflix with my older brother in 2012 and he used to laugh like crazy. I was way too young to understand the jokes back then but now that I’m old enough I cant help but to admire this man for not bowing down to Hollywood and turning down that $50 mill deal. We all know he’s worth more than that. It’s a shame the industry did him like that for not selling out, he is the goat of comedy idc what nobody say.

Clayton Bigsby is probably the best sketch in history period. It was also to last skit on the first episode. I remember watching the first episode live with friends and it was truly revolutionary. It was all everyone talked about even the teachers 😂
Agreed, that character encapsulates real people: Clarence Thomas That Owens chick... Kanye West Ice Cube Tim Scott Hershall Walker ... Are all, Clayton Bigsby , some do it for money, some of them are really "blinded" by their singular position of affluence while POC.
@@DavidSaintloth lol Ice cube.... Why didn’t you name any of the black slave owners like Anthony Johnson? Lol just messing. I like Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell, it must be tough to deal with the pressure and slander.
That's what you do with prejudice you turn it in on itself and it becomes a laughingstock. Prejudice on its face is sad but it's also pure ridiculousness. And that's what Dave did, he exposed how ridiculous being prejudice really is. At the end of the day we are all part of the human race, peace to all ❤
The world nowadays needs more Dave Chappelles. He's always been a comedy icon and someone who had a taste of fame and chose to remain normal. Kudos to him
Someone who doesn’t have anything against (insert) people making fun of (insert) people is fine. Someone who hates (insert) making fun of (insert) isn’t. Everyone knows this, those who pretend they don’t are part of the second group.

@@elg94 So canceling now means some number people dont like you and wish you didn't have a platform? Doesn't really sound like an issue so much as, you know, normal
@@baileyayyy5085 huh yes that's exactly what it means, do you think you need unanimity to cancel someone? Dave is okay because he's too talented to be cancelled, but even talented people can be cancelled by ''few'' people... And you didn't answer, made up by who? Never heard dave complain too much about it, and when he addresses the fact some people want to cancel him it's a fact..
I met Dave Chapelle about 5 months ago at a hotel bar. He was really dope and introduced his friends to me too and we just kicked it for a couple minutes. Really down to earth dude. It was dope to see someone I grew up watching be a cool ass person.
People say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but I disagree. There are plenty of famous people who are down to earth and genuinely care about their fans. It just depends on who it is.
What I like most about Daves stand up shows is they're social commentary mixed with stories that end in wisdom, it's like being spoken to, rather than watching someone making jokes for the sake of jokes.
@@SheriffValentineyeah but George Carlin spoke truths about society. George Carlin was outspoken about the oppression within America. Dave Chappell talks about how much he hates trans people
Dave isn't doing social commentary anymore. The old Dave did. New Dave is an old man sitting on a porch mad that he can't call people the hard er anymore. And it's not funny. And many people like it because he's punching down at the people they feel are ok to abuse
@@SheriffValentineDave is NOTHING like Carlin. Carlin didn't punch down. He went against the powers that be, not 0.5% of the population just trying to live
I spent quite a bit to go watch him perform live once and it was the greatest experience I ever had. He’s truly a master of his craft and he’s very well spoken. Dave won’t ever be silenced and he shouldn’t be the world needs more Dave Chapelles
i think it also matters that he should understand trans people. If he understood it more or even if he never will, he should still defend the rights of people that are always targeted. He would understand that for his bs with Comedy Central and Hollywood prior, and I think that if he looked at it that way more like he did with one comment he already made, he’d be as real as he was prior to his comeback. The amount of good he could do with his status would impact a lot of people into not being so arrogant and dismissive about trans people. We are all human beings and we should understand each other
I have always said Dave Chappelle is the only celebrity on earth I would genuinely freak out about meeting. I have never fan boyed over anyone, except him. That dude is a legend
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 yeah I think that's it... it's like before he was more natural at it... it poured out easier and fluid. Now he reminds me of that time Hillary Clinton was tryna act kool to win youth votes. Like really outta place and awkward. Maybe the comfortable lifestyle made him alittle rusty or something
@@Tuelz... lmaoo totally... i think people who reach great heights sometimes try too hard to keep proving themselves... surprisingly george carlin till his last special didn't come across that way because i think he genuinely had interesting observations to make and other jokes whereas because of his background dave only does social commentary these day but they are only one dimensional....
The way Dave greets that family in the 'hard-R' skit kills me everytime, let alone Killing them Softly, etc. Absolutely one of the greats, artistic/comedic genius easily. Louis may be the only guy who comes close in the last 20 years.
When my parents went to one of his shows, I was mad because it was late at night and I wasn't invited. I love his stand up, and he does sound like a good person, even if many of his opinions are "controversial"
"...the product of a man who wants it all, money, fame, influence..." He turned down 50 million dollars. He doesn't want money. He left to South Africa for almost 7 years without telling anyone. He doesn't want fame. He ignores world renown celebrities and only speaks with those who approach him. He doesn't want influence. The fact they wrote that hit piece makes my blood boil.
that was nearly 20 years ago and all the contreversial specials have come out in the last 5 or so years. he also didnt let netflix put up his show because he wasnt getting paid even though it was in the contract he signed. he may not have been a money hungry talking head in the mid 2000s but he absoloutley is now.
@@mariussielckenAlright, I'll bite. Can you name who the Hollywood gay mafia is or are you just spouting bigotry towards queer ppl who have nothing to do with this?
What shocking to me is how much backlash he got for saying genders a fact! What kind of world are we living in where that can lose you so much money and deals and ostracize you from a lot of people for just saying that. 18:45 it's so scary that they believe physical violence is justified when they don't like what you say. It's scary this isn't a world I want to live in
Actually, the logic in some of his jokes is broken and doesn't add up. He's a great comedian, but the fact that his comedy is thought of as deep is a sad, sad reflection of modern society...
@@blissfulinsomniac5711 How about you actually elaborate and detail where the logic flawed instead of making these generalizations and acting as if that itself is fact....that is what is sad, people acting sanctimonious without actually presenting anything....
@@bigbay1159 Why? The OP didn't present facts as to why Dave's jokes are intelligent and deep. Do your own deep diving and critical thinking. People need to learn how to do that.
Frank Ocean?!?!? How the hell did I forget?!?!! What was the last album he came out with? Blonde? Thinking on it channel Orange might be on of the few albums I had listened to every track.
Edgy isn't a bad thing. At least, not anymore than chocolate is a bad flavor. Some people won't like it, but to some, it's what makes you want that specific thing. As long as your heart isn't actually bad, being edgy is way cooler than being a normie.
@trash_bender420 to you. I and so many others think he's not only hilarious but he's a genius. He's not just funny he's one of the best to ever do it.
I saw Dave live. Great show. He’s not even the most “edgy” comedian on Netflix, let alone the world. He’s just the most popular and that gives people fuel to hate him. Jeselnik(whose also on Netflix), for example, purposely tries to go WAY over the line as his punchline. Dave always walks the line perfectly and that’s why he’s one of the best ever.
I lived in Yellow Springs for a long time and met Dave at Dino's coffee shop. A few times, he is a great down to earth person. I think the problem is the world has got way too soft for Daves style of comedy
Yeah I think that is the case. People put influencers on a much higher pedestal in their ability to spread and dictate their message to masses on various platforms that they just stopped trying to be more critical about the ideas they consume. Especially in this social media digital age where information is on our finger tips but its the aggregated stuff that sticks out the most.
I understand what you mean. He's just expressing how he feels about one thing. He's not pulling out a gun and forcing people to see things his way, but it seems like almost everyone else is.
Nah. Almost everyone secretly likes it, Dave is that good. But they are pretending to be offended and going with cancel culture so they don’t get canceled themselves
Dave is a national treasure. He’s one of the only celebrities with a genuine, down-to-earth perspective. He’s a model for how we should all act and treat one another. His stand up is just that - stand up. Look at how he lives his life away from the spotlight if you want to judge his character. He’s a better man than most.
When all that was happening. My dad said it straight up. “Bet he wants out of the freak show and now they’re gonna call HIM the freak” never was more true
Nowdays there is lack of comedy, because every joke is censored for hurting some wortheles leftist woke losers feelings. Thats why comedy is not anymore that great, when you dont have the freedom to make good jokes about anyone you can get good joke off. Thats why woke comedians are the worst comedians, because the pander to left and make the unfunniest most boring jokes about right wing people, that did nothing wrong at all.
@@wasabijones4571 sorry, I can identify a joke and even find the concept funny and still not laugh out loud, it takes a really smart joke delivered like it’s nothing
The media def tried to destroy this brother ! I knew from jump he wasn’t on drugs simply because of how he was brought up! I’m happy he came back and got to tell the truth.
I felt the same way when he upped and left. I knew he was not crazy or on drugs but just did not want to live the life other people wanted him to. It’s not that complicated. People are too easily brainwashed by media.
He doesn’t single any community out which is why he’s the greatest and he’s not afraid to challenge the real issues even if he’s hated, it’s literally in his blood too.
I had the pleasure of very briefly meeting Dave as he exited off stage at a show in Toronto, Canada about two years ago. As he was walking off the stage, I shouted towards him calling him the GOAT and saying that the world needed him. He walked over, thanked me and shook my hand. This was during the whole Covid/Mask era and the fact that he still approached me with all that going on and shook my hand, truly shows how kind and humble this man is. A blessing to this world and definitely one of the best comedians of all time💯
Dave Chapelle is a legend.. he is so talented and he's been doing comedy for so long now.. i can still remember when i went to school i used to watch his show on comedy central every night
@@ziontea7045edit: this aged like milk, also Twomad actually cares about the drama that he caused, but I think if he stopped posting about it on Twitter & Yt he can potentially regain part of his fan base, unless he gets banned on those platforms... Kinda like sunnyv2
chappelle and 2pac were raised by parents who were scholars, highly educated and you can see what they have done and produced go above and beyond the spectrum....
Appealing to whiteness is almost non-negotiable these days, and the go-to fix for that is removing dark skinned female characters. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that the black female supporting character (graciously assuming there is one) is almost always fair-skinned, and photoshopped to be even lighter in promo photos. I’m glad Dave stood up against this back then but it’s still very much the norm to do so. Especially if it’s not specifically targeted to a Black audience or has Black production heads. Dark skinned female leads like Sydney in The Bear are rare. You’re far more likely to have actors like Zendaya (fair-skinned biracial), full-figured asexualized characters played by Uzo Aduba, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, etc… or the ever-favorite trope: Black woman as drug addict, abuse victim, criminal, mammy to everyone except her own children, etc.
If you portray black women as "drug addicts, abuse victims", etc., then you are racist for reinforcing negative stereotypes. If you _don't_ portray them that way, then you are racist for erasing their struggle.
@@anom6707 absolutely, although her primary credits are 12 Years A Slave (abuse porn for mass audiences) or Black Panther and Us (mass audience appeal but still Black-led productions and/or Black centric audience targeting). Many dark skinned actors who successfully appeal to mass audiences do so through dehumanizing roles like slave films, abuse films, minstrel-like roles, or Black-centric productions that happen to develop mass appeal
As a trans person, I absolutely love his jokes about the trans community. its absurd to me that people can get offended by comedy, everyone is the butt to at least 1 joke no matter who they are, might as well accept it.
Pick me behaviour. Also the thing is he didn't really make any trans jokes he kinda just ran his mouth and made unfunny statements about things he clearly knows fuck all about then doubled down when criticized then blamed the entire trans community for his friends suicide
@@Slayyyaphine yeah when he started those trans jokes it was way less funny compared to everything else you could sense he had some real hate towards it but also isn't he Muslim? yeah..
@@Slayyyaphine ???????? "when criticized" means they tried to take his job away. and the story about his friends suicide was a story about how the lgbt and leftist community ruins peoples lives for what they say. you have just summarized that situation in the most biased way possible.
Chappelle show is still hands down one of the best. I still watch it in 2024. Sometimes we gotta let the sensitivity go and laugh and our own stereotypes.
I love watching your videos because of how you always support both sides of controversy’s. You’re right that everyone should be able to voice their opinions.
18:47 bro if the lgbtq community could have a martyr they chose the worst one, bro said it hurt his feeling so i should hurt him. i'd say he's never heard of sticks and stones but they where most of the hate came from. also instead of using his brain this guy says he should run it by people it might affect, he didnt take that into account when he ran right through chapelle. these double standards these days, can you believe this!
I just saw Dave’s recent show and I loved it. He held no punches against everyone. He is a brilliant comedian and I’m so happy we get to experience him in the presence.
Yes, Dave Chappelle is very funny. Sure, he makes points I like. But, so do millions of activists. Just because somebody is funny and entertaining does NOT make them a "genius". Doing real hard mathematics, civic and city planning, logistics, doing ordinary retail jobs, trucking, science and technology, both original creative work like research AND noncreative but still VERY USEFUL work -- THAT is genius.

He's the Hideo Kojima of comedy.

@django9427 nah seriously no joke me and a friend use to call each other queer$ back in middle school nobody gave af but now you'll be hunted like a rabid dog
Im a diehard fan hes literally always toed the line of what is acceptable and i love him for it
Comedy is social commentary... That is what makes it funny... Showing people in a joke, the issues around us... Forcing you to look at yourself in a way you don't feel bad... That is and always been comedy... Look back to the Jesters of old the only ones that could tell the KIng what they thought and not be killed... That is the beautiful thing about comedy...
I like this guy. I’m now 71yo and my kids are grown and I miss them because I live in NC because I can’t afford NY.
There’s no reason to cancel Dave

I always enjoy your breakdowns. This one however, is EXCEPTIONALLY well done.
I know when Dave leaves for God's Abode, I will cry my heart out. ❤
he's not "refusing to be silenced." he's refusing to take criticism and reap what he sows. u openly say hurtful shit and you'll b met w/ responses from ppl who recognize that its hurtful. there's no middle ground here
womp womp nigga he’s funny af
People are able to speak their opposition the problems start when you try to silence someone else's ability to do the same.
I'm not even from the US and I use to wait for Chappelle Show every night as a kid. Freaking loved that show.
The tighter you clench your fist the more sands of truth will slip through your fingers.
God bless and protect Dave Chappelle all of us. Humans need to stand up for what’s right there’s no difference under the skin in our bodies are hearts in our souls so anyone that sees the difference is definitely colorblind and hateful. Thank you.
IMO Sticks & Stones is one of the greatest standup specials of all time.
Dave Chappell is truly a goat.
I see a lot of comments not understanding the issue that's actually behind Dave Chappel nowadays, rather than give you the essay there's an incredible video by F.D Signifier that breaks it down in more depth than this, simply because he's more qualified. Very much recommend you hear him out
I've been a huge fan of his since his teenager stand-up days. I knew he was going to be the next Richard Pryor
In America there are two kinds of comedians the first kind Jonathan winters/Robin williams and the second the REST i'm fan of both .
Dave Chappell needs to stop feeding the fire against Trans!
Daphne speaking out and no one hearing about it says a lot about big media.
Met him when he came to my restaurant. I offered to take care of his meals but he still ended up paying and tipping all of my staff. Before he left, he took the time to talk to my staff and even took pics and signed autographs. Dave is a Legend.
What a good person
Uh oh transphobic!!! Yr restaurant is now cancelled.

Why are you paying for his meals?
He paid for his meal and talked to people, what an incredible paragon of human decency

Amen to that.. Back when a young ass teen me watched The Colbert Report n that other show i can't remember the name of right now.. Great times.. Back when Comedy Central was worth my time..

Chappelle Show and The Man Show were just amazing. Now at 40 years old I sound like my dad and gramps when I tell my kids “back in my day there was girls on trampoline’s and a black guy in the KKK”
The only time I looked forward to school was on thursday, the day after a new chappelle show episode, cause we would all talk about it
Amen
I met him after the moving to Africa, he was with his family and I stopped walking towards him. Me and him lock eyes, then he nods to me. After he walked his family up, he came back down and took a picture with me after waiting for me to get the free time to do so. He is a real guy.
see this is what people gotta do respect famous people when they’re out with family

Excuse me but as a 42 year old i can say that Half Baked was a huge hit. We all loved it and still quote several lines from it in everyday life.

In South Africa people knew who he was but we just left him alone. The celeb culture in the USA has caused many mental health issues & tragic ends. Just leave these people alone and let them do what they love
Well said. The US is obsessed with celebrity culture & it has definitely led to the downfall (and even death) of many talented people.
@user-es7fc7ee6d not so sure about that. Sure, you can't make alot of money easily or quick, but you can make money anywhere in the world if you buckle down and work hard.
But that depends on what you do.
But I believe you can leave quite easily. If you're really desperate, live on next to nothing for a few months (spaghetti with mince meat, minute steak, chicken fillets, etc. Meat is cheap here. If you can do that, get two minute noodles, etc. Don't use a aircon, save the money, etc. Get a cheap plane seat that costs like 7k or maybe 12k max and fly to the US and just make sure you get a place to stay ahead of time... or rather go to a country that had cheaper basic necessities, like Prague.)
There are plenty of European countries that are cheap to live in. Find one you like. And then just go to it.
But here's the thing, that's scary to do. The problem isn't money to get a ticket, it's doing it... Italian Americais moved to the US with a whole family and NO money and made a living. Nigerians too. But that's easy because they had nothing, if you have something in SA, you're afraid to lose it for a while.
Eh, he should have stayed with Comedy Central, like South Park did.

I was way too young to understand the jokes back then but now that I’m old enough I cant help but to admire this man for not bowing down to Hollywood and turning down that $50 mill deal.

That's what you do with prejudice you turn it in on itself and it becomes a laughingstock. Prejudice on its face is sad but it's also pure ridiculousness. And that's what Dave did, he exposed how ridiculous being prejudice really is. At the end of the day we are all part of the human race, peace to all ❤

I met Dave Chapelle about 5 months ago at a hotel bar. He was really dope and introduced his friends to me too and we just kicked it for a couple minutes. Really down to earth dude. It was dope to see someone I grew up watching be a cool ass person.
People say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but I disagree. There are plenty of famous people who are down to earth and genuinely care about their fans. It just depends on who it is.
So the proverb "never meet you heroes" does not apply to Chappelle. That is so dope.
Bro he’s literally Muslim, why are u lying??? 😂😂😂😂
You met Bokeem Woodbine, not Dave Chappelle.

Dave is just an ordinary dude who happens to tell extremely funny jokes
*was funny but now is just not funny
Takes a lot of work to counteract that level of fame and wealth. I think actively trying to do so is helpful.
Dave is a genius. I feel lucky that he chose to come back and let us get a glimpse of his thoughts.
What I like most about Daves stand up shows is they're social commentary mixed with stories that end in wisdom, it's like being spoken to, rather than watching someone making jokes for the sake of jokes.
This! He gives you something to think about when the show ends, and the way he will break down a joke, then successfully use it afterwards is amazing.
Kind of like george carlin
@@SheriffValentineyeah but George Carlin spoke truths about society. George Carlin was outspoken about the oppression within America. Dave Chappell talks about how much he hates trans people
Dave isn't doing social commentary anymore. The old Dave did. New Dave is an old man sitting on a porch mad that he can't call people the hard er anymore. And it's not funny. And many people like it because he's punching down at the people they feel are ok to abuse
@@SheriffValentineDave is NOTHING like Carlin. Carlin didn't punch down. He went against the powers that be, not 0.5% of the population just trying to live
I spent quite a bit to go watch him perform live once and it was the greatest experience I ever had. He’s truly a master of his craft and he’s very well spoken. Dave won’t ever be silenced and he shouldn’t be the world needs more Dave Chapelles
5i
i think it also matters that he should understand trans people. If he understood it more or even if he never will, he should still defend the rights of people that are always targeted.
He would understand that for his bs with Comedy Central and Hollywood prior, and I think that if he looked at it that way more like he did with one comment he already made, he’d be as real as he was prior to his comeback. The amount of good he could do with his status would impact a lot of people into not being so arrogant and dismissive about trans people. We are all human beings and we should understand each other
no one has to understand trans people. @@metallol5337

"...the product of a man who wants it all, money, fame, influence..."
He turned down 50 million dollars. He doesn't want money. He left to South Africa for almost 7 years without telling anyone. He doesn't want fame. He ignores world renown celebrities and only speaks with those who approach him. He doesn't want influence. The fact they wrote that hit piece makes my blood boil.
He wasn't in South Africa for 7 years lol... He was just out the spotlight for that time
He's blacklisted by hollywood gay mafia for speaking up about the black male dress-wearing thing.
Tbf he only turned it down because he was demanding 100 mil over the 20 mil he was paid for season 1. Dude was a pie e of racist shit
that was nearly 20 years ago and all the contreversial specials have come out in the last 5 or so years. he also didnt let netflix put up his show because he wasnt getting paid even though it was in the contract he signed. he may not have been a money hungry talking head in the mid 2000s but he absoloutley is now.
@@mariussielckenAlright, I'll bite. Can you name who the Hollywood gay mafia is or are you just spouting bigotry towards queer ppl who have nothing to do with this?

What shocking to me is how much backlash he got for saying genders a fact! What kind of world are we living in where that can lose you so much money and deals and ostracize you from a lot of people for just saying that. 18:45 it's so scary that they believe physical violence is justified when they don't like what you say.

Hes not edgy he's just not funny anymore lol
Edgy isn't a bad thing. At least, not anymore than chocolate is a bad flavor. Some people won't like it, but to some, it's what makes you want that specific thing. As long as your heart isn't actually bad, being edgy is way cooler than being a normie.
He's not edgy. That implies that someone is trying to be upsetting or crude. Dave is just honest about the black experience and human experience.
@trash_bender420 to you. I and so many others think he's not only hilarious but he's a genius. He's not just funny he's one of the best to ever do it.
I love how comedy is based on opinions. These opinions are turned to the extreme. I “love” how people don’t let others have opinions
I saw Dave live. Great show. He’s not even the most “edgy” comedian on Netflix, let alone the world. He’s just the most popular and that gives people fuel to hate him. Jeselnik(whose also on Netflix), for example, purposely tries to go WAY over the line as his punchline. Dave always walks the line perfectly and that’s why he’s one of the best ever.
If people found out about Jeselnik, they would be foaming out the mouth lol.
I lived in Yellow Springs for a long time and met Dave at Dino's coffee shop. A few times, he is a great down to earth person. I think the problem is the world has got way too soft for Daves style of comedy
Yeah I think that is the case. People put influencers on a much higher pedestal in their ability to spread and dictate their message to masses on various platforms that they just stopped trying to be more critical about the ideas they consume. Especially in this social media digital age where information is on our finger tips but its the aggregated stuff that sticks out the most.
@@t4d0Wright. That comment Forbes made about having no one to answer to sounds crazy. Why should he have to answer to anyone.

Nah. Almost everyone secretly likes it, Dave is that good. But they are pretending to be offended and going with cancel culture so they don’t get canceled themselves
Dave is a national treasure. He’s one of the only celebrities with a genuine, down-to-earth perspective. He’s a model for how we should all act and treat one another. His stand up is just that - stand up. Look at how he lives his life away from the spotlight if you want to judge his character. He’s a better man than most.

He's not crazy and he's not evil. No one is listening.
They said crack, he is way to strong minded to let crack get him, it’s for the weak minded
I felt the same way when he upped and left. I knew he was not crazy or on drugs but just did not want to live the life other people wanted him to. It’s not that complicated. People are too easily brainwashed by media.
Love and Truth are powerful tools
they try to destroy anyone that doesn't tow the line
He doesn’t single any community out which is why he’s the greatest and he’s not afraid to challenge the real issues even if he’s hated, it’s literally in his blood too.

As he was walking off the stage, I shouted towards him calling him the GOAT and saying that the world needed him. He walked over, thanked me and shook my hand. This was during the whole Covid/Mask era and the fact that he still approached me with all that going on and shook my hand, truly shows how kind and humble this man is.

Appealing to whiteness is almost non-negotiable these days, and the go-to fix for that is removing dark skinned female characters. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that the black female supporting character (graciously assuming there is one) is almost always fair-skinned, and photoshopped to be even lighter in promo photos. I’m glad Dave stood up against this back then but it’s still very much the norm to do so. Especially if it’s not specifically targeted to a Black audience or has Black production heads. Dark skinned female leads like Sydney in The Bear are rare. You’re far more likely to have actors like Zendaya (fair-skinned biracial), full-figured asexualized characters played by Uzo Aduba, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, etc… or the ever-favorite trope: Black woman as drug addict, abuse victim, criminal, mammy to everyone except her own children, etc.
If you portray black women as "drug addicts, abuse victims", etc., then you are racist for reinforcing negative stereotypes. If you _don't_ portray them that way, then you are racist for erasing their struggle.
I feel like lupita nyong’o is one of the only exceptions to this role
@@anom6707 absolutely, although her primary credits are 12 Years A Slave (abuse porn for mass audiences) or Black Panther and Us (mass audience appeal but still Black-led productions and/or Black centric audience targeting). Many dark skinned actors who successfully appeal to mass audiences do so through dehumanizing roles like slave films, abuse films, minstrel-like roles, or Black-centric productions that happen to develop mass appeal
@@jm2307what about Blade Runner? Dude was a superhero.
As a trans person, I absolutely love his jokes about the trans community. its absurd to me that people can get offended by comedy, everyone is the butt to at least 1 joke no matter who they are, might as well accept it.
Pick me behaviour.
Also the thing is he didn't really make any trans jokes he kinda just ran his mouth and made unfunny statements about things he clearly knows fuck all about then doubled down when criticized then blamed the entire trans community for his friends suicide
@@Slayyyaphineyou sound insufferable, bet you had no problem laughing at his jokes at the expense of black people tho😂
@@Slayyyaphine yeah when he started those trans jokes it was way less funny compared to everything else you could sense he had some real hate towards it but also isn't he Muslim? yeah..
@@Slayyyaphine ???????? "when criticized" means they tried to take his job away. and the story about his friends suicide was a story about how the lgbt and leftist community ruins peoples lives for what they say. you have just summarized that situation in the most biased way possible.
@@SlayyyaphineYou are crying about something a comedian said
Chappelle show is still hands down one of the best. I still watch it in 2024. Sometimes we gotta let the sensitivity go and laugh and our own stereotypes.
For Real I Still Watch The Reruns On Comedy Central When There Not Milking South Park I Used To Watch New Episodes Every Wednesday Night
Man S1 of Chappelle’s show was just complete peak TV for me it was so good
Seeing him live and meeting him are on my bucket list
Nothing should be off limits when it comes to comedy.
Nah disagree, there's always a line. Or at least it's heavily dependend on context. 99% comedians have common sense tho.
Of course there shouldn't. It's art. If you can't express yourself to your fullest you are being stifled as an artist.
@@moomyverse feels like you're one of the haters, your comments are just trash in all the ones I read you're just there like a mole on skin lmaoooo
Free speech doesn’t equal freedom from consequences nor does free speech equal hate speech.
There’s some things that cross the line. Like joking about r wording someone
I love watching your videos because of how you always support both sides of controversy’s. You’re right that everyone should be able to voice their opinions.
18:47 bro if the lgbtq community could have a martyr they chose the worst one, bro said it hurt his feeling so i should hurt him. i'd say he's never heard of sticks and stones but they where most of the hate came from. also instead of using his brain this guy says he should run it by people it might affect, he didnt take that into account when he ran right through chapelle. these double standards these days, can you believe this!
I just saw Dave’s recent show and I loved it. He held no punches against everyone. He is a brilliant comedian and I’m so happy we get to experience him in the presence.
Yes, Dave Chappelle is very funny. Sure, he makes points I like. But, so do millions of activists. Just because somebody is funny and entertaining does NOT make them a "genius". Doing real hard mathematics, civic and city planning, logistics, doing ordinary retail jobs, trucking, science and technology, both original creative work like research AND noncreative but still VERY USEFUL work -- THAT is genius.
Some comedian does not need to be "genius" or "brilliant" to make funny points. I wish people would stop conflating the two.
@@theultimatereductionist7592They didn't call him a genius. But being brilliant can apply and be relevant to any field or study. In this context, Dave is brilliant in relation to stand up comedians and sketch comedy.
@@theultimatereductionist7592Being a genius and brilliant can apply to more than just your cherry picked list of important-sounding things. But yeah, getting a cdl and working as a trucker sure is genius 😂
Same here, he's doing what he does best: having a conversation.
Bokeem Woodbine is the actor currently playing Dave Chappelle.
"For what its worth" is not only daves best special, but the greatest special of all time.
Ah smoking weed and watching half baked was the best growing up . Skinny dave funny as hell
Dave is the funniest comedians I know. I absolutely adore him. Loved this deep dive. I couldn’t understand the back lash no one is off limits when it comes to comedy.
