That last joke I freaking hate. I swear it's so goddamned lazy. I'm watching a regular YouTuber talk about some random topic and he decides to chat with his audience and he makes the exact same joke. "Hur dur, if I go jail I'd identity as a women and be super woke cause that's all they care about now and I'll get off scot-free".

I hate it.

I think "joke“ is a stretch with that one - it's not original, not funny, and delivers no meaningful commentary beyond “I'd be a rapist if I thought I could get away with it."

Chapelle was a decent comedian when he talked about what he knew and had something to say, but this is just pitiful.
