Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light β€” argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Young Dave Chappelle was the greatest comedian of all time and I’ll die on this hill.

He still has some sparks of brilliance here and there. But fuck. Yeah. The meme is accurate.

I don't get how his bit about him supporting trans people turned him into what he is now.

Ooh! I can answer this! He made a joke about someone in his life that was trans. It hit the media that he was doing jokes about trans people. So he tried to explain how he wasn't transphobic by telling a bunch of actual transphobic jokes, which was certainly a choice that was made. That turned a lot of people off, so he followed the laughs.

The first "new" Chappelle special is wonderful! No more offensive to any one group than any other. His follow up was mostly good, but some cringing at some bad takes. Clips thereafter are pretty.... Well, you see what thread we are in. πŸ™ƒ

Chappelle saw an underfilled market for a kind-of Chris Rock "what white people think black people sound like" comic material and crammed himself into the role.

Then he saw an underfilled market for a Bill Cosby "what older white people want to hear black people complain about" comic material and crammed himself into that role.

And now he sounds like a cringe mix of Chris Rock meets Bill Cosby, which is exactly what Trad MAGA gooners will pay out the nose to see.
