Imagine buying tickets to a well-established comedian's show just to hear them read Facebook comments for an hour.
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.
I haven't found Dave Chappelle funny since 2005
He peaked with the Chappelle show and can't admit it to himself
He should have left at the peak.
Well he did. But then he came back
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 Iâll 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. Itâs not a skill thing, itâs a: âI care about money and I know Iâm gonna make enough anywayâ 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 âbuild a brandâ
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.
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"
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
i think he is a great performer but his jokes arent that good.
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.
Went to a Jeff dunham show for free
That's all
I saw him easily 30 years ago.
His act hasnât 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.
When you thought Ricky Gervais was a mild safe bet.
Has that dude ever been funny?
So hereâs 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 werenât 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 hasnât realized that, or is happy to play to the tastes of real bigots.

What about Carlin? Haven't heard cringe about him but .... Wondering
He's unlikely to make a new special
Fair.
And his stuff aged like a fine wine
Still holds up
Usually the old material wasn't any different.
Yeah, going back to the old material usually makes me realize how far I've come since I was a edgy young adult with the "just jokes" mentality.
Randy Feltface will never age poorly.
Kyle Kinane has never let me down.
Dirt Nap had me laughing so hard I cried
Not my boy Emo Phillips
I hear Russell Brand has a new book out...
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
Weâre here for laughs, not fights.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
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
