Damn, this is some wild shit.
Apparently the guy had a gun and knife on him after he tackled Dave on stage last night (and apparently got curb-stomped as a result thereof).
Chris Rock delivering the joke of the year, “was that Will Smith?” afterwards.

"The deadly weapon in question is a plastic replica gun, that shoots forth a blade, we are told. Lee was taken to the LAPD Hollywood Division, law enforcement sources confirm."
What a fantastically stupid idea for a weapon.
That sounds like something a 5 year old would think was a good idea.Quote:

Amazing
If trans men cook and clean as well as they swim, I'll never fuck a regular bitch again!
Heard in SLC Chappelle show. Lol.
I heard that he finished the show early because so many neckbeards were there screaming his material at him. Not the first time in his career he's had that issue.Quote:

He was getting heckled, and another dude was takin video right next to security, so he got pissed. Hecklers we're stupid.Quote:

Can’t put my finger on it exactly, but something has changed with him. His last Netflix thing was a bit off.
One of his best ever. They even got the pbs guy to narrate.Quote:

Because he was armed, nothing will come out of how wrecked he got (likely... criminally).
I still think he's one of the GOATS... But I don't dig his newest material near as much as a few specials ago.
Who jumps on stage and tackles not just anyone, but DC, and doesn’t expect to get wrecked? You can file this under play stupid games win stupid prizes.Quote:

I thought what was off on his last special was him taking what people say about him too seriously and having a grudge about it. Just move on and talk about something else Dave.
I’m speaking in more general terms. Yes, his trans fixation is part of it, but more generally his act lately seems to be built on twin pillars of ‘I’m the GOAT muthafuckas’ and his grievances/victimhood. That’s a weird combo. Just ask Melania ;).Quote:

Didn't watch his recent specials, huh?Quote:

The trans community really needs to let this go. A guy like Chappelle is not their real enemy even if they don't care for some of what he's said. Dave needs to let it go too, although it seemed like he sort of had after that last comedy special.
I'm a fan of Gervais' take: "Please stop saying "You can't joke about anything anymore". You can. You can joke about whatever the fuck you like. And some people won't like it and they will tell you they don't like it. And then it's up to you whether you give a fuck or not. And so on. It's a good system."
I think the trans jokes are shitty because it feels like Chappelle is punching down. I think punching up in comedy is a great way to speak truth to power. Punching down, not so much.
Yeah, it's not the stuff comedy is made of. But for all the willfully ignorant hot takes out there, it seems pretty clear from his own words that his problem is with the Twitter mob that he blames for killing his trans/comedian friend. And this is the guy who watched Michael Richards ranting the n-word and realized he was more comedian than black.Quote:

Has he deleted his Netflix specials?Quote:

Punching down? Dave did an entire bit on “punching down”. You might wanna look it up.Quote:

He told some jokes, he didn’t build an anti trans platform. At worst, he showed frustration as a black man being told he couldn’t possibly imagine the plight of a group of white people.
I agree that the hurt feelings and repetitive “look how much I like trans people” of his last special made it a bust. Which is fine, the previous five were hilarious, and those don’t include the two great specials he put out like 20 years ago. The guy is a comedic genius and is able to frame these issues in very poignant and funny ways. Hopefully he doesn’t let old and grumpy drive his comedy like so many aging comedians.
This is the thing I think most people are missing. It's more or less his entire point. As a black man he's jealous of how relatively quickly the culture changed to embrace LBGTQ.Quote:
