I made it through the first 25 minutes before getting bored and turning it off. As much as I loved his TV show, I never really liked his standup. I remember everybody loving his "Killing Me Softly" special from years ago, but I was like "eh." And he's gotten worse since then. But that's just me. I know most people revere him as a standup.
Haven't seen the new one, but I think he is one of the alltime standup greats.
Yeah, I saw him one time and he burned the motherfucker down. Amazing set.
The love he receives is the love that is saved

Agreed. Gonna watch it a bit later.
Curious to see if there’s anything warranting some of those up-in-arms reactions.

suppose that depends on your general point of view to begin with.
I found some of his points to be on point. he just presented them in his usual Dave dont give a fuck way.

I very much so agreed with him about the “punching down” comments. Drives me nuts that so many people assume that just because you’re making fun of someone (while performing comedy, no less), you are somehow looking down on them, or think you’re better than them. So dumb.

Yeah, it's just a little more pointed at times. And almost the entire thing was directed one way. Very antagonistic. Which I'm completely good with. He is definitely a master of his craft. I just like it when there's a touch more silliness. It seemed pretty personal. Which makes sense in the context of his friend's tragic outcome.

It's certainly seems that is what he was going for.
Saw it over the weekend. Was brilliant. Not as "LOL" as his normal stand-up, but the guy absolutely crushed it. If you're pissed off, have an agenda, are overly sensitive, or easily triggered...or are looking to hate on something...which seems these days, is almost everyone...there is plenty of fuel in that hour.
I found absolutely nothing in that set to be offensive. Even when he'd say something over the top, he'd come back and tie it all together.
It's a wild scene out there. I can't imagine getting so worked up about a comedy special. Just don't watch it. They're acting like Chapelle is a high ranking executive at Netflix or something.

They've been going after the high ranking exec at Netflix too. he isn't spared in all this, lol.
And all of the outrage is causing more and more people to watch it. Netflix will gladly take the heat and the revenue. I think it's hilarious.
I do wonder if the people who are outraged are a very, very small percentage and are being reported because that makes news and who doesn't like a lil bit of controversy.
I have this theory that has been proven in the past that news reporting is all on social medias now. No one really investigates anything. They just repeat what they read and through the pipeline it becomes fact.
In all reality the same 2 people who complained have been regurgitated so many times it feels like a story and the thoughts of millions...

Totally agree. I loved his TV show and Half Baked, but never cared for his standup. But I’ll tell you who loves his standup….Dave himself. Always taking a moment between jokes to hold his stomach and laugh at whatever he just said.

I personally think he is great.
What he has done for the whole stand up community during the pandemic is worth noting too. Out in the middle of Ohio, Yellow Springs he invited comics to do social distancing comedy shows.
He and Tosh along w Bill Burr move the needle for me.

Maybe it's something with the name Dave. No one, and I mean no one, likes Dave Grohl as much as Dave Grohl likes Dave Grohl.
I think Chappelle is funny and smart. Definitely some swing and misses though.

I need to watch this and try to figure out why and who is actually angered at this comedy special.

"All right shut down production!"

Movie is too damn funny!
Actually, I love all comedians / standup folks who stick to their guns.
