Dave Chappelle released a new comedy special, The Closer, on Netflix last night. Which means, with a depressing inevitability, that Chappelle also released a new set of jokes predicated on making fun of trans people, depicting them as thin-skinned bullies bound and determined to push poor, multi-millionaire comedians like Dave Chappelle around. GLAAD has now issued a condemnation of the special, which includes a loud declaration from Chappelle that he’s “Team TERF!” in addition to other transphobic material.
Chappelle, in fact, devotes quite a considerable chunk of The Closer to talking about trans issues—i.e., the issue of trans people asking him not to peddle transphobic “comedy” that involves loudly declaring, “THAT. IS. A. FACT.” while talking, to rapturous applause, about the state of other people’s genitals.
Chappelle spends roughly the entire last third of the 70-minute special on the topic, ending with a promise to stop telling any jokes about the LGBTQ+ community, an assertion that reads less like personal growth, and more like he’s taking his ball and going home before he ends up getting treated in a similar manner to fellow millionaires J.K. Rowling, Kevin Hart, and DaBaby. (All of whom get namechecked in The Closer.)

I remember listening to Norm MacDonald's excoriating bit on "gay pride" that he performed at a club in San Francisco. The awkwardness in the audience was both telling and funny at the same time, but Norm didn't care. There was a smattering of laughter and cheering, but the majority of them couldn't stand the truth.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement!
The guy has always been funny. He dared them to come after him using his get out of jail black comedy card.
Dave won a long time ago.
The Netflix wokesters must have had a heart attack when they saw what he did. But I’m sure his contract doesn’t allow them to edit it.
Ooh, y’all ain’t gonna like what he infers about Pence.
yessir
To all Frank/Francis’s: I know panties are a relatively new thing for you, but please try and keep them from getting into a twist.
But still I loved his “Black Bush” skits.
“The n-word tried to kill my father...I don’t play that s__t!”
Tim is great, I wish him well.
“The Netflix wokesters must have had a heart attack when they saw what he did. But I’m sure his contract doesn’t allow them to edit it.”
Dave has FU money, and most people are getting tired of woke crap.
Mike Pence wont throw a hissy fit
Of course I don’t have to agree with everything Dave says. I sure as heck didn’t agree with Carlin or Pryor on a lot of things, but both made me laugh a lot.
Todays woke comedians just aren’t funny. Heck, I could even enjoy the late Bill Hicks, and he was as left as it gets.
Guess he’s over the target
I always thought Dave was a lib, but I keep hearing things about him that suggest he’s at the very least rejecting woke ideology.
Q: What is the difference between “trans” people and unicorns?
A: Unicorns might just exist.
Carlin, Pryor, and Hicks were all great comedians.
I disagreed with their conclusions on numerous things, but at least they were creative and intelligent.
I think my favorite Hicks story was the bit about reading in a Waffle House...
He’s a Muslim, which may explain some of it.
At some point in time, they are going to step one inch too far over the line and then it will be HOLY HELL FOR THEM............................
Hicks’ rant on Marketers was classic.
“Ooooh I see what Bill’s doing there, he’s going after that Anti-Marketing Dollar, that’s a huge market, we’ve done research, he’s very smart to do that.”
why do they call them “gay”? they are some of the meanest jam it up yer *** SOBS on the planet.
