Cool. I'm sure they did. He should move there permanently.

Late entry for weird flex of the year.
Dave's on the menu now when we start eating the rich, right?
He was well before this. When he was in his local town hall complaining that they were making affordable housing near him and letting "the poors" get too close.
I didn't hate him when he made trans jokes, i just don't find them funny and everyone should be allowed to not be funny. But i found it truly disgusting when he pulled elon musk on stage just to show off his wealthy friend. What a disgusting human being.
Sellout.
Goes to a place that slavery is still legal, they like his jokes, he doesn't see the problem.
Freeer over the by the way, where they, checks notes, literally took his script and said what he could and couldn't say.
Fuck that bigoted hypocrite
Gunna hard disagree with you homie. If Dave has any artistic dignity he would not have performed if they preemptively censored him.
So either he is a shill, or he's a shitty person and a shill.
Don't know if there is a good way out for the piece of shit.
Oh. I guess I needed the /s on the first part or there's a misunderstanding, because we do agree
Please don't take my comment personally, I'm more just screaming into the ether when I comment.
Dave should have never come back from Africa.
When Richard Pryor came back from Africa he said there were so many different types of people there and vowed never to use the n-word ever again.
When Dave Chappele came back from africa he said there were a lot of broke n***ers over there and vowed never to turn down a dollar ever again.
It boggles my mind that this is the same guy who walked away from a multi-year, multimillion dollar TV deal with Comedy Central because he saw a white dude laughing a little too hard at his jokes about race. The fact that he could have that moment of reflection, but not extend it to other marginalized groups, just shows the complete lack of empathy he has in his soul.
The whole Comedy Central thing never sat well with me. Here’s my poor ass listening to this rich mother fucker who made it big, complain about how other rich fuckers “took his money”. It was never relatable, and it just felt like rich people feuding to me. That’s when I started to see Dave as a wealthy man first and above all. My instinct proved true when he just got worse and worse and became less and less human.
He can visits the hood and pretend he’s still from the streets all he wants, even though he never was. But I ain’t buying it. He likely gets back in his truck and uses the sanitizer and complains about the little people like diddy. He’s a fake and has no idea how real people live and think. He only hangs out with billionaires.
The first time I heard Chappelle was the 'Killing Them Softly' show where he did a bit about how he didn't want to get famous. He should have stuck with that.
I think his receiving the Mark Twain prize went to his head.

It’s a shame Dave Chappelle died immediately after Chappelle’s Show ended. He sure was a funny guy when he was still alive!
That's my takeaway too. I did listen to his stand up and while i didn't think it was horrible, i had to remind myself that it's the guy from the chappelle show, otherwise i wouldn't have listened to it. Also really interesting how Neal Brennan is still really funny and i like his stand up a lot. Maybe it is just a Seinfeld situation
Honestly I stopped watching it halfway through when I realized it was just gonna be a jerk fest. Some of it was funny but the whole thing felt like comedy for controversy’s sake rather than controversy for comedy’s sake. It just felt… forced in a way that I didn’t really vibe with. I think his circular style is kinda trite at this point too, the older he gets the more rambly it all feels.
Of course they did, Dave. They're just as bigoted as you are.
And made a shit ton of money bringing laughter to slavers while we work ourselves to death and suffer from having a conscience. We really do need to get together and figure out how to actually start changing things without self imploding. Evil is very much winning.
"Hitler loved my joke about gassing the Jews" isn't exactly proving your point, Dave.
I'm sure the proud boys or kkk would love some of the racist jokes I've heard at work.
I wonder how Chapel would appreciate them.

Becoming a real life Clayton Bigsby.
He’s been making shitty trans jokes for about 10 years now. It’s so lazy…he needs to move on.
I started watching his latest Netfux special and he just wasn’t funny to me at all. Bragging about all his wealth, buying a white hippy town, defending his Saudi Arabia sellout because “haha I’m a rich n*gga”, and then a joke about a falcon killing a trans and “his dick popped out”, but it turns out killing a trans person only being a misdemeanour in SA. Har har. Just predicable, and felt like a real grift. Turned it off and watched some show with Fran Lebowitz instead - that one was at least pretty funny, if not also a grift.
I see that he is still punching down.
I believe it. I'm sure the King requested that everyone have a good time too.

“They said, ‘Well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist,’ and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. I’m sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion. And also, look, bro, Israel’s killed 240 journalists in the last three months, so I didn’t know y’all were still counting.”
he does have one well-thought message, albeit with incorrect addressing and postage
now that i look it up, he does already condemn israel much more than palestine (and gotten flak for it). he even called israel a war criminal back in oct 2023. i wonder how this hasn't caused certain senators including MAGA to try and cancel him yet...
The correct and moral decision isn't 'I work for all murderous regimes', it is 'I work for no murderous regime'.
Simple as that and he failed. And before somebody comes with 'but what about USA/China/UK' I said all. And there is also a big difference between working in a country and being invited by the rulers of the country.
Typical whataboutist deflection. He tries to hide the fact that he is a snivelling piece of shit.

Fuck Dave & his dumbass jokes too.
To this day, I will never not be convinced he went down the far-right bigotry rabbithole because Elon Musk and/or other oligarchs are paying him to take that stance.
It seems no coincidence to me that after he started attacking the trans community, he invited Musk on stage and tried to defend him from the booing crowd.
He got too rich, had a crisis of conscience, then took some time in Africa to end up deciding that money > conscience.
In short, no one's "paying him" to be a bigot, he's just the typical rich piece of shit. He defends other rich pieces of shit because that's what rich pieces of shit do.

Should've stayed "retired." Should've listened to his dad and got out, but no... gotta suck on that green dick.
I gauge all of my work against regimes that murder people, so this seems reasonable. Fucking asshole.
Looks like he’s found his happy place
