This is even more crazy for him to say when you remember his wife is Asian.
He must think that means he's "allowed" to say shit like that.

Totally, completely off topic, not hinting at anything at all
SpongeBob is a pretty good show! Classic, really.
Yeah pretty smart commentary on "punching down" humour from a kid's show. He then transitions to self-deprecating humour which is much more popular.This is a thing!? I'm intrigued.
I'll fully admit that I haven't watched any of his stuff in years. Loved the Chappelle Show back in the day, but that definitely seems like a different time.
My impression is that Chappelle just cannot handle the concept of intersectionality. It's why he insists on framing everything as certain groups against each other and can't imagine any other kind of dynamic existing.
And the part about the COVID shot... Holy shit. Pisses me off especially because there's just been over-representation of black people assaulting Asians in news. I remember reading that the majority of attackers in these racist incidents weren't black. Either way, Chappelle can fuck off.
Are there any comedians around anymore who are a) funny and b) not a complete ass-hat?

That usually works out pretty well lolHe then transitions to self-deprecating humour which is much more popular.
Ah shit I misremembered, yeah that isn't as ideal as I'd thought.That episode ends really yikes IMO. He doesn't shift to just self-deprecating humor, he makes fun of everyone there in ways that are clearly meant to be stereotypical in-universe ("fish are smelly").
It veers waaay too close to "it's okay to have racist jokes as long as you make racist jokes about everyone."
I actually think it's a big fucking miss from early SB.
He doesnt have a horse in this race.I'm incredibly disappointed by this. How a comedian can go from 8:46 to this is beyond my understanding. It doesn't seem like the same person and this is not a message I'm willing to support in any way.
It almost feels like he thinks there are no black LGBTQ people, so they are all white and thus punching down.
Chappelle further admits that he "didn't get sick at all" from contracting COVID, calling himself "the Magic Johnson of coronavirus," but that he did get stressed out by watching so many videos of Black people beating up Asians on the streets during the pandemic—before cracking, "I couldn't help but feel like, when I saw these brothers beating these Asians up, that's probably what's happening inside of my body."

I've noticed that there's a subgenre of homophobia in the black community that seems to unironically think that queerness is some sort of anti-black assault from white people in order to emasculate and control black men. An extreme example of this mentality would be the documentary on the practice of Buck Breaking where Tariq Nasheed, an infamous hotep on social media, tries to make the argument that modern homosexuality is some kind of conspiracy that has roots in slave masters punishing male slaves through sexual assault.Honestly that's how it feels, like he is going "fuck these white people trying to make it about themselves "
jesus fuck man, that doesn't even make senseChappelle further admits that he "didn't get sick at all" from contracting COVID, calling himself "the Magic Johnson of coronavirus," but that he did get stressed out by watching so many videos of Black people beating up Asians on the streets during the pandemic—before cracking, "I couldn't help but feel like, when I saw these brothers beating these Asians up, that's probably what's happening inside of my body."

Yeah, Tariq Nasheed, that's the nutball I was trying to think of in my post a few pages back. What a fucked up notion.I've noticed that there's a subgenre of homophobia in the black community that seems to unironically think that queerness is some sort of anti-black assault from white people in order to emasculate and control black men.

colin mochrie is a saint, he's a saint i tell yaI'll check em all out. Kinda heart-warming to know the guys from Whose Line are still around, and cool to boot.
I found this part to a small window into his Youtube algorithm. The whole "Blacks assaulting Asians" thing was pushed hard from the right, and this tells me he's probably stuck in the far-right Youtube cycle, which ... actually explains a lot about his last few specials really.And the part about the COVID shot... Holy shit. Pisses me off especially because there's just been over-representation of black people assaulting Asians in news.

Nah, that hit mainstream. It's actually only because we're on a left-leaning forum that we even saw counterevidence of any kind.
Maria Bamford is always great.Are there any comedians around anymore who are a) funny and b) not a complete ass-hat?
Jim GaffiganAre there any comedians around anymore who are a) funny and b) not a complete ass-hat?
I was just going to mention her, nice.
My guess is that he's seen as so untouchable by a lot of comedians that people don't even bother. And the ones who do care probably aren't big enough to call him out without risking their livelihoods.Has any other comedian even called him out yet? Has anyone...?
Random comments? Sure. Articles? Yes.
But no fellow celebrities, as of yet... His BS message about cancel culture is resonating with them, it seems... No one is speaking out.
It's nonetheless frustrating. Cancel culture isn't even a thing!!My guess is that he's seen as so untouchable by a lot of comedians that people don't even bother. And the ones who do care probably aren't big enough to call him out without risking their livelihoods.
Jimmy O. Yang special on Amazon is great.Are there any comedians around anymore who are a) funny and b) not a complete ass-hat?

One or two days ago he premiered a new movie about his summer festivals in Ohio last year, at a special sold out performance at the Hollywood bowl, and a bunch of celebrities joined him on stage and applauded him including Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, Lizzo, Jon Hamm, and many more.
So no, not really to answer your question.
