I liked Chappelle until he started doing transphobic bits...and just can't let go. It seems like he can't make a special (or any kind of statement) without some kind of jab at trans or gay people. It's quite disappointing, but he is getting on in years. It's to be expected.

And I also don't find any of the bits you posted by Patrice funny. Guess people just have a different sense of humor. :/

Nah man you don't get it, he's actually a genius who transgresses against cultural zeitgeists that everyone is afraid to challenge with pure, unadulterated intellect since he is a Free Thinker standing up for free speech. That's what comedy is all about, and anyone who dares criticize the greatest brilliance to grace earth needs to shut up and stop thinking about it because it's just a joke.

he made one faux paus about trans in 2017 and then he got enough heat over it that he spitefully did another trans bit in his next special. Neither of which were that bad.

Fact is "I used to love chappelle but then he said something about trans" = I was completely on board with the anti PC edgy schtick when it didn't conflict with my politics but now that you're saying something I disagree with, shock value humor is suddenly lazy and artistically void of merit

As if chappelle show wasn't just the shock value humor of 20 years ago.

Never thought of it like that. Sure is a thinker. Overthinking jokes is for cucks though so off brain go.

Nice straw man. Coward.

Come on man it's just a joke I said with the intent of making you think, why are you thinking about what I'm saying?
