Unsurprisingly, it has taken very little time for rights groups—most notably GLAAD—to take issue with one of the world’s most powerful entertainment brands paying a very famous comedian millions of dollars to tell these kinds of jokes. GLAAD issued a statement today asserting that, “Dave Chappelle’s brand has become synonymous with ridiculing trans people and other marginalized communities. Negative reviews and viewers loudly condemning his latest special is a message to the industry that audiences don’t support platforming anti-LGBTQ diatribes.”

The world needs a million more Chappelles.

Looking forward to seeing it. That’s the best sales pitch I’ve seen lately.

Chappelle has previously called them “the Alphabet People”

It’s open season on white people though Dave. Anything about how stupid, selfish, cheap, ugly, racist, homophobic, sexist or goofy we are, works fine! Put us in our place! It’s uproariously funny!!

EVERY joke can be offensive to someone who is looking for offense.

Example:

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. How dare you expose an animal to danger that way!

I love to see the left consuming their own.
They were cheering him when he made some VERY NASTY jokes about GWB on one of his standup “comedy” shows, using explicit language suggesting Bush had performed fellatio on another world leader (I forget which one).

I have zero sympathy for him.

Sodomites are some of the most humorless skanks around.

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.

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.

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.
