It’s not even the topics, it’s just Dave’s shows are lacking punchline. He’s taken himself too seriously like so many older comedians. I think because mainly, he is addressing his angst rather than reinventing himself. If you you can’t reinvent yourself, then your only option is to bow out gracefully or punch down in…

The last time Dave Chappelle was funny he was still taking a paycheck from Comedy Central.  

Fixed that for you.

I mean, she off-handedly referenced him in a message to someone else, without even using his name. And he’s so pathetically thin-skinned that he feels a need to respond with something so lazy it doesn’t even rise to the level of a joke?

It makes him sound petty and small, both in this swipe at Gadsby and his “I’ll only meet with you if you meet all of my demands” bullshit.

Gods, but that shot at Hannah Gadsby comes off as touchy, doesn’t it?

“Biden’s DoJ arrests Trump, 1/6 happens again, except this time they’re armed. You’re asking for a shooting war. You are BEGGING for a shooting war.”

I cannot overstate enough how much those arrests will lead directly to a shooting war.

You. are. not. lying. Not at all.

If it had rained, they’d all have gone home. Storming the Capitol is one thing. Getting wet? They didn’t sign up for THAT.  It’s cold in DC in January.

Anyone watching American news from November 2020 to January 2021-onward knows this. And we know those exact people named we in on it. And we know that Roger Stone had a hotel war room set up to manage the coup and we know that some military and police (did!) and were ready to do their part. Y’allQuaida just didn’t…

yup

I’m convinced that white people just want to be babied. This is why they are the loudest anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, and why they cry to the authorities when they start and subsequently lose a fight with a minority. They want to simultaneously be in charge of everything, but also have the responsibility of a toddler.

Eh, she got pushed back into work 10 days after emergency spine surgery for a work-related injury. I’d say the earth was already scorched and sown with salt.

While my record is not spotless, I did not:

Fuck that butcher and fuck the grief his family feels. As if anything he ever did could balance the mountain of corpses.

Why on earth do you admire Damon Wayans? He has went out of his way to show you that he is utterly horrible as a human being. He defended Bill Cosby, trashed his victims, his horrible treatment years ago of Doris Roberts on the emmy’s. He’s a dirt bag

I bet he doesn’t do anything for the next few years at least, but as time goes on and he starts seriously dropping off people’s radar for good...well, to mangle a saying, “hell hath no fury like a famous person facing irrelevance”.

“Comedians have a responsibility to speak recklessly. Sometimes the funniest thing to say is mean. Remember, I’m not saying it to be mean: I’m saying it because it’s funny.”

That seems like a lazy way to absolve oneself of the responsibility for one’s own comments, no matter how much they may contribute to a culture that devalues certain communities. I’m sure he’d defend Mike Richards’ need to speak recklessly too. Or Gilbert Gottfried.
