Dave Chappelle, Sticks & Stones

I'm honestly not a huge fan, but now I have to check it out. 

Finally watched this.

Anyone who got offended was missing the whole point.  He brought up every single major issue in society today and placed them all on the table.

Man knows his history too.  Favorite part was when he said that "black people can save the world again.  We can stop this gun violence thing in a minute.  Every black person needs to go and purchase a gun.  They'll change the laws immediately."

Reminds me of what California did when the Black Panthers were exercising their 2A rights and Ronny changed the laws on that real quick.

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Car ride with the "alphabet people" cracked me up.

Finally got a chance to watch this.  Pretty funny. I don’t get what all the controversy is about. If you’re transgendered and were offended, that’s understandable. If you’re not transgendered but just want to be offended on behalf of them, you need to get a life. The outrage culture is ridiculous. 

Shit was great.  If you were offended, good, that was his point.  Check
out bill burr’s new one too, it’s great also. Comedians are trying to take back their stage, too many pussies out there these days.

Dave is hilarious and a genius, but not this go around. It seems common for older comedians to resent internet outrage and how they feel it’s impacting their comedy. Rather than ignoring this or creatively developing jokes around this, it came across as more venting these resentments and an attempt to appeal to those who share these feelings (note how this show is a big hit with trumpers). It reminded me more of Andrew Dice Clay and late 80s early 90s comedy - comedy with the goal to offend.

Bill Burr's entire career lol

Anything is on the table for comedy, but offending for the sake of offending is cheap, easy comedy.  It can still be pretty hilarious, but it's not very impressive.

I agree. Easy targets, cheap shots. That's supposed to be edgy? Nah, that's lowest common denominator stuff. I had expected better from him.

Comparing this to a Dice man show  is just a bit off, about a mile off.

I mentioned before that he brought up every major issue going on today in America whether it was guns or gays. It can and should start a conversation.

Something else I noticed is all the people that mentioned they liked this on here aren't Trumpers, crazy right? 

I despise Trump with every ounce of my being, and I loved it.

Crazy, I know.

Truth be told, I was compelled to watch this BECAUSE of the outrage it caused among the left, and enjoyed 80% of it (cringed for about the other 20, but hey... I moved on with my life despite not liking what he said for that 20%).

(edited for grammar)

What did you actually cringe at?  I didn't find anything cringe worthy?

Some of the Michael Jackson stuff was a bit much, IMO.

I didn't agree with him but I didn't cringe at it.

I didn't cringe either, but my eyes rolled to the back of my head. I was like "Okay Dave, you're obviously a Michael Jackson fan so you're going to bat for him here." But whatever, it's his special. I liked it for the most part. But yeah, that part was a little silly for me.
