Did everyone else love his latest Netflix stand up show as much as I did. I'll admit it's not for the Woke crowd but it's the best stand up routine I've seen in years. It felt great to laugh at some of the ridiculousness in society today.

Probably a 6/10 for me...loved Chapelle show and like the overall message of this one but some of the content just isn’t up my humor alley.

I tried to watch the end of it that was suppose to be after the credits. Wasn't on there for me. Was suppose to be a question and answer session or something. Couldn't find it.

Loved killing them softly or whatever his special was called 15 years ago when he blew up - probably my favorite stand up special of all time, haven’t checked this one out yet. The last special I watched that cracked me up was Bill Burr - that guy is hilarious.

He warned of cancel culture and after it came out..wokeville tried to cancel him.

Theres a viral tweet of some social justice warrior throwing a fit about it, and a woman telling her to chill out, followed by said social justice warrior tweeting her employer to try to get her fired.

It was a great set

He’s trying too hard. He used to be naturally funny and brilliant. He definitely lost a step when he walked away for several years. For me, it was only moderately funny. Didn’t make it all the way through

The sit down Q&A was good stuff.

The best 1 liner was there were a lot of gay men, with their wives!

Tough sell in the ATL.

Pretty good. His series is hard to top but he’s always pretty good. No shock that some ******** are bashing him. Comedy is a direct threat to being “woke”.
Watched S and S for the first time last night. Laughed my *** off

I thought it was funny. It's not his best work, but Dave at 50% is still funnier than most out there. He makes jokes about everyone and everything. You'd have a more legit reason to be offended by him if he didn't make fun of you for something at this point.

I think what made him so funny was how skinny he was and how his voice sounded when he made jokes. He is older, heavier, and his voice is deeper now (sounds like he is a smoker) so it has taken some of what I thought made him so funny away.

This show was funny because it was old school comedy which has sorely been missing during this "woke" era. I never thought he was an elite standup comedian (Murphy, Pryor, etc. are on another level), but he is still one of the best today. Chapelle Show took comedy to another level. He is definitely "elite" when it comes to comedic sketches.

He hasn't been funny since Con Air when he got sucked up in the wheel well.

Well put. I find Kevin Hart hilarious but I don't know if it's so much about his jokes as it is his voice and how he talks.

I thought it was better than his last two Netflix specials.

It's nice when comedians write jokes for laughs without worrying about offending anyone. That's what comedy should be. People need to lighten up and learn to stop taking everything so seriously.

That’s what I’m worried about, especially after seeing a couple of things with him recently. He used to sound like a cartoon character which made everything much funnier.

I thought it was good. Saw him at The Palace a few years ago and he was pretty good then too.

I liked the part about white heroin drug addicts vs the perception of black crack addicts in the 80’s

I do think skinny Chappelle was funnier though. His story about being in a limo and a baby trying to sell him drugs was great because of his delivery.

Solid show by Dave.

He’s no Anthony Jeselnik but he’s pretty damn good.

You know if you try really hard someday your IQ might hit triple digits.

it's not his IQ that is the issue for him, but the indoctrination he has received and the company he keeps. He firmly believes in various lies, half truths and the leftist distorted reality, which is why he loses his mind so easily and gets so angry when confronted by the truth.

He lacks enough humility to figure out where he is wrong, everyone else must be the lunatics when it's only the very radical left which buys those lies and other sheltered weak millennials who cannot stand reality and they hate it and hate everyone else who is not them.

It's pathetic and pitiful, genuinely worthy of pity, and precisely the people this comedic special was aimed at calling out.
