Its fine if it is funny but they pick a lot of chud comments
Something something transgender something something not allowed to tell jokes anymore.
That's it, thats your "comedy" special.

I hope that hypocritical sack of shit's career never recovers.
Which one, I wanna cringe a little
He went to Saudi Arabia to make money and lost many fans. Myself included, those fuck faces killed and dismembered a journalist and deserve no international respect.
I mean it's not even that he went to Saudi Arabia and did this absurd show. It's how he handled the Fallout. If he had just handled it like a comedian by making a joke he probably would have been fine. He said "I'm sorry but you know I needed the money have you see my wife's Instagram page?" Or something like that he probably could have emerge somewhat unscathed. Battered but unbroken. But the way he handle it was just so tone deaf and so patronizing and so God damn absurd that a lot of it just had to tune out.
What way did he handle it?

This is interesting because the US government has clearly been very friendly with the Saudi regime for decades, supports monarchy / authoritarianism there militarily and diplomatically, developed the petrodollar system with them which saves the average American household thousands of dollars a year and allows the US government to run a $40 trillion dollar debt with favorable interest rates. Several advantages America has over other Western nations and the rest of the world come from this partnership.
In a sense every American makes money off of Saudi Arabia and doesn't realize it. Perhaps that's something they didn't consent to so they shouldn't be held accountable. But if the petrodollar ended tomorrow, inflation in the US would spike almost immediately through currency devaluation and a bond crisis would likely follow.
The first morally logical step would be to petition one's own government to stop supporting the Saudi monarchy militarily and diplomatically.
Tl;dr: The US is the reason Saudi Arabia has international legitimacy and respect. If anyone wants to change that, start with them.
Won’t work. Saudi spectacularly demolished some NY real estate and the US bent over backwards to pretend Afghanistan was to blame.

I haven't found Dave Chappelle funny since 2005
Tbh he had good skits and bits but Chappelle in my opinion wasn't as funny as perceived.
His comedy really is that line "but have you ever seen it on weed?"
Like he's not this philosopher comic person people think he was.
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.

While I still think Chappell is talented if he actually put more effort,
Man his comedy has gone downhill. It’s not a skill thing, it’s a: “I care about money and I know I’m gonna make enough anyway” kind of attitude.
IMO this is why artists should never be payed too much. They should make what a good doctor makes, not enough to “build a brand”
He was always this way. Born to upper-middle-class parents, growing up in the suburbs, cosplaying aa an urban poor black person to grift white people put of their money. Punching down on Mexicans and Asians, anyone he could to be profitable. Now it's trans people, but the grift has always been the same.
He has a pretty well known interview where he whines about not being able to make fun of gay people and says something about how Comedy Central didn't mind him making fun of black people and...
Well, Dave, I don't know if anyone mentioned this to you but you're black and not gay.
If he's always at some level just never really identified with other black people, or at least the poor ones, that would make a lot of things about that disconnect make sense.
When they become too rich they start making bits like "isn't going to the Bentley dealership the worst?" or "oh I hate it when I can't book first class and I have to travel on business cramped with all the others"

Went to a Jeff dunham show for free
That's all
I saw him easily 30 years ago.
His act hasn’t changed much at all. Still the same racist, low-hanging fruit as always. Just occasionally different puppets.

You ask for a refund after? I know free is free, but it would send a message.

I sat my girlfriend down to watch Robin Williams' Live on Broadway set because it was stuck in my mind as the greatest comedy show of all time. I love that man and miss him, but we had to turn that set off a third of the way through. It has not aged well
Same for my mom and I's viewing of "Good Morning Vietnam".
Yeah, uhm. Great film, if you can get past the 1980's Shock-Jock Robin Williams yelling to himself, from himself, at himself, back, forth, ad-nauseum.
Is that the one where he's got an entire table filled with water bottles and he makes it through like half of them by the end of his set?

When you thought Ricky Gervais was a mild safe bet.
Has that dude ever been funny?
So here’s the thing. In his prime in the early 2000s there legitimately was a liberal PC orthodoxy in comedy. This meant if you made a joke about a marginalised group it was implicitly understood that the humour was either in the outrageousness of it, or that bigotry itself was the true target of the joke, and that we weren’t supposed to take it at face value.
But then actual fascists started gaining power by campaigning against those same marginalised groups, and that type of joke stopped being possible even when played back verbatim. Gervais either hasn’t realized that, or is happy to play to the tastes of real bigots.
