Watching later, but all reports are they are great as expected.

One that he already had in the can, which NetFlix bought, one filmed specifically for NetFlix and one to be filmed later.

SO for those folks who shitted on Dave for leaving 40 mil on the table...It appears that he will be okay.

he has a talent that people want to experience. that's lots of money in your pocket as long as people want to hear from you.

He's doing shows on his time and his way. He's doing press on his time and his way (Only interview so far with his good friend Gayle King). And he is managing the celebrity as good as anyone has.

I don't understand what he wants from Key and Peele but aside from that part...great interview and the first special is great too.

Dont diss Patrice and Dave just because you dont agree. They were both phenomenal comedians.

Probably won't be the strongest of the 3 specials he's dropping (I hope), but you gotta give it to this man. Thoughtful, funny, he didn't rely on past hits or schticks at all

He did his thing. Solid 8/10

His voice and mic control effected my enjoyment as he seemed to be whispering at times. Cool to have him back, hopefully this is only the beginning and he sharpens his swords a bit.

Edit: 15 minutes into The Texas one and it's stellar thus far. He's hitting here.

>Watching later, but all reports are they are great as

I watched the first one last night and the second one this morning (before I take my ass to work).

He killed it. He's still Dave. The material is good. I'm scared of how high my expectations are for the 3rd one now.

Interesting thing is I saw Louis CK not to long ago and he was similarly not as progressive on certain topics. Feels like a comedic backlash.

cause man it was some spots he walked up to the line and im thinking like "Damn the thinkpiece mafia bout to come for you"

<--- Big Baller World Order

all progressives.

Kiese Laymon was going in on Dave on facebook.

I love Kiese Laymon but at some point I realized I could never live up to his ideal of what it means to be a progressive. Which is cool. At some point you define for yourself what it means to be progressive.

Dave is brilliant as fuck. If I had to pick, I think Age of Spin made me laugh more.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

the Texas standup got a steadier stream of laughs from me. From a more technical stance, Age of Spin had jokes that were built up better. I really loved how Dave would build a joke up only to take a sharp turn for the punchline.

In the Texas set, I felt like Dave had an entirely different structure for jokes where he set up quick visual jokes with his wording. Age of Spin is slightly more quotable for me but Texas had visual jokes like the bit about Lil Wayne and pussy juice.

aggressively?

It was very fast paced editing and it almost like a lot of the jokes didn't get room to "breathe"? Like as soon as he dropped jokes and the crowd laughed their was a quick edit to the next joke rather than let the laughter linger?

Almost like long takes would have been more natural and have gone at a more leisurely pace.

IDK. Having been at one of the shows he did this material the jokes felt more intimate and casual.

And now that's going to be stuck in my head when I eventually watch these specials during the week.

That almost sounds like the mistake of a rookie editor though.

Comedians to make them appear funnier than they are.

I don't think it goes well with Chapelle's style.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

On thing about seeing him live is that his material is so layered that you can't catch everything. The specials I look forward to going back to soon.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed the Texas special more than the LA one. The LA one was more polished and set, but I laughed more at the Texas one. The jacket in the first one was bothering me, and he laughed at his jokes a bit too much.

and the swag wasn't all there. That Texas special had me laughing way more.

He seemed physically uncomfortable during the whole LA set. Still funny, but uncomfortable.

and a really, really good stand up when he's on. I liked how he weaved so many things together in the LA one, that was fucking cool. Almost every bit was pretty damn hilarious overall. Going to watch multiple times.

some of those jokes are just straight up in bad taste

the craft of the jokes are brilliant, a lot of the content, especially in the LA one, were turrbl...

Dave came off mad Hotepish at times

but I def laughed at a good number of jokes in both specials.

glad he out there again.

anyone peep in the LA special: white plastic barbie and her LA fuccboi in the front row... she did not laugh at one thing. that shit was making me laugh

also "Santa Monica... Vans" hilarious

make you laugh at shit you feel like you aren't suppose to be laughing at.

Austin had better story-telling. LA might have had better punchlines. I prefer story-telling.

And seriously, fuck those people who are offended. He's 42. Are we really gonna be so intolerant as to expect middle-aged people to keep up-to-date on what's going on in current day women's/trans study classes? Or up-to-date on the current euphemisms (which are incorrectly used....like 'racialized' and 'racism') and definitions that the far left keep changing so that they can wield moral authority over anyone who didn't attend a critical race theory class last week?

On behalf of all middle-aged people....Fuck them.

This is an interesting moment because I generally hate when people spend alot of time warring against politically correctness and act like it's the biggest problem in America, BUT AT THE SAME DAMN TIME..

I tend to feel like you just articulated.

Chappelle and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are starting an interesting conversation.

"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

I used to agree with you about this stuff being non-threatening. Not anymore. My SO has been trying to convince me for years. I've finally fallen over the edge. Canada is currently contemplating an amendment to our Human Rights code which would categorize Dave's performance as hate speech. It would actually be illegal.

Dave Chappelle has done more to bring awareness to race issues than 99.9% of any of these people will do so in their lifetimes. And he's done so OUTSIDE an echo-chamber. Arguably effecting REAL change albeit subversively.

The reason I am particularly aggressive about this is because I've come to learn that people like this don't genuinely wish to effect real change. They seek moral authority and nothing else. I will NEVER use the term 'racialization' (or racialized people which has become the new term as an acceptable replacement for supposed 'out-dated' terms like visible minorities and people of color) in any way other than it's traditional definition. I'm not going to be a mouthpiece for their moral authority game and the euphemism treadmill that serves as methodology to find new ways of accusing people of racism, sexism and trans/homophobia. A racialized person is someone who has been categorized into a racial group that THEY DO NOT IDENTIFY WITH. The most common example of this in my community....is an African immigrant being categorized as a 'black people' who does not self-identify as a 'black person'. If you self-identify as a 'black person'....you cannot be 'racialized' by someone else (unless they've put you in a different category/group). You have already 'racialized' yourself.


There is nothing logically incoherent in the point Dave made. I'm paraphrasing...but how do we define his responsibility in accommodating other people's self-image?

I've never heard of the the "racialized movement" but it makes sense because it is the natural logical conclusion of the movement to allow people to self-identify social labels as it applies to race.

I'd like to think such a movement would have a much harder time taking roots in the states because, IMHOP, the Black Power, Black is Beautiful Movement, was so powerful in the US that we are ingrained to side eye any effort to not acknowledge and embrace ones blackness. Skin lightner creams? That's some bullshit. Tiger Woods calling himself a Cablinasian? Bullshit. Dating eclusively white? That's some bullshit. It's interesting because you can compare black americans opinions on some of these issues to black people in other parts of the world, Carribean, Europe and even Africa, and you can see we have much different stronger opinions about this stuff because of the Black Power Movement (I beleive).


That's why comparisons between the race politics and transgendered politics are so fraught with minefields because if the transgendered approach was applied to racial politics, people would be horrified with that sort of thinking. That is, if a person felt uncomfortable or dysphoria in their black body, our approach wouldn't be to try to help that person change their race. Instead we would work to get that person comfortable in the black body they have a let them know their race doesn't stop them doing anything they want to do, even stuff considered "white stuff". I don't need to turn white to want to play lacrosse. Compare that to the transgendered movement in which if a young person express the feeling they are in the "wrong body" it seems the progressive approach is to say, "Yep you sure are, let us help you change that". hard to see how that is good for self esteem. Imagine if we treated overweight people or anaroexic people like that.

And I could be all wrong on this but I think we are so early into this discussion and there is so little science or study of these topics that we are left mostly with the application of theory on how to deal with and after years and decades of study we might discover or look back on our current approaches and think they are barbaric and crude like lobotomies. Again, I could be wrong.


I don't know. Movements tend to overreach and if Chappelle's shows and similar stuff get labeled a hate crime their will be a pushback. That I am sure of.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

I love the 'black is beautiful' movement and I'm happy that society as a whole has made an attempt to be more inclusive and representative in our culture. Kid's cartoons....movies....dolls....all that stuff was and IS necessary in my opinion. I also support employment equity in the vast amounts of union jobs that are passed down through nepotism which is a racially exclusive practice by it's own methodology.

But to flush out Dave's joke. The trans-woman that he talks about is in danger of over-dosing on drugs. But her friend's take the time to express outrage about her pronoun. WHILE she is in REAL DANGER. That's not by accident. Dave is making a distinction between real compassion and virtue-signalling.

I'm not a typical 'anti-politically correct' kinda guy. I think what we call 'PC' has done more good than bad. That's why I included my thoughts about 'black is beautiful' and employment equity in this post.

The biggest personal example is the use of the word 'faggot' during my childhood compared to my step-son's childhood. I remember being 9,10,11,12,13. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that more than 75% of my interaction with other male children centered around hetero-normative discourse. 'You're gay'. "No YOU'RE gay'. 'You're the faggot'. 'No YOU'RE the faggot'. I take my step-sons to school and can see the change. I attribute alot of that (most of that) to Critical theory. Frankfurt School. Marcuse and Horkheimer.

I'm still trying to figure out how to reject the current manifestations of that philosophy that I see as a threat to intellect while holding on to what I value and how critical theory has benefitted us.
