“Legendary?” Now Chappelle is funny, but he’s nowhere near the league of Murphy, Pryor, and Foxx. Or Dangerfield, Seinfeld, and Carlin.
”I’m Rick James, bitch!”
Dave C. is fighting the good fight in many ways, pushing back on the fear of being Cancelled, pushing back on low income housing (assuming the majority of that town agree with him),
but I’ve never found him all that funny. He’s a good storyteller, tis true. Not one and the same thing, though.
I wish him continued success standing up for independance.
Wrong
Always thought Murphy was better at skits and movies. Hit and miss standup, a little too filthy for me. Always kind of thought Jerry Seinfeld was overrated. But they started putting on his show in the lunchroom every night at work. Okay, pretty funny, “soup Nazi”, hilarious.
Could listen to Dangerfield’s wife jokes and other one liners for an hour or two at a time. His insults of Ted Knight in “Caddyshack”, wow. Thought Henny Youngman was as good or even better at one liners. Never much got Carlin’s I’m gonna offend you stuff, his atheistic stuff kinda annoyed me.
Can Pryor and Chevy Chase’s brilliant SNL sketch in which Chase calls him the “N” word even be shown anymore? Chapelle’s sketch with a white family whose last night was “N*gg***”. Hilarious. Red Foxx’s trading of insults with his female relative on “Sanford and Son”, hilarious.
Chapelle stands out these days because he’s so much better than the unfunny, bitter ideologues like Colbert and Kimmel. SNL is now horrible considering some of its former greats. A comedy goldmine sitting there with bumbling Biden and nonsense like gender theory. Used to mock these things, Clinton as a lusthound, “Pat”, a person whose gender you couldn’t tell, “Ambiguously Gay Duo” cartoon … Won’t touch these things now.
Sicko radical feminist “comediennes” like Sarah Silverman saying she would kill Christ again, “joking” about abortion. Unfunny. Sad. Sick. Mentally ill?
Bill Maher has been better lately because at least he leaves liberalism at Wokeism, the total loss of common sense, COVID insanity.
True, but he's pretty much the only modern comedian that can make me laugh. Even if I don't agree with him on everything.
