I imagine that that's exactly what this standup will be.It's exactly what happened at his most recent show. Saw him and Jon Stewart last week. Chappelle just doubles down on his transphobia and even mentions how an up and coming transgendered comedian loved and supported his jokes. It was the "I have a black friend" line of defense.
He also defended Kevin Hart and Louis CK. It was a disappointment.
I was like "eh it's not a great fit but it's also not bad" then the camera kept panning down and it kept going and going and going.
I'm pretty sure that I and most of the others here aren't looking forward to the transpobic lines and are instead looking forward to everything else he's talking about. As with all comedy specials I've seen, I never fully agree with everything the comics speak about, there's always something I'm against and it's no different with Chappelle's Netflix specials. While those comments are wild to me, the other stuff he says I rock with.Y'all, this is a standup "Sticks & Stones", from someone who in his last standup was super transphobic, and it has a teaser in which the narrator goes on about how "dangerous" it is to tell jokes for a living these days.
Maybe don't be so excited for this. Unless you're actually looking forward to what'll probably be Dave Chappelle doubling down on his transphobia.

Jerry Seinfeld is at the top of that listlove ya Dave but the framing one of the top five most famous and widely renowned comedians on the planet doing a Netflix special for millions of dollars as 'risking it all' is hilariously overwrought. i swear standup comedians are some of the most self-important motherfuckers on the planet
That can be the main subject of the special but that doesn't mean I have to like it. If most of his special's about that negativity? I'll hate it. If some of it is? I'll hate those parts. If all of it is? I'll hate those parts too. It's something I'm going to have to see for myself. I'm not going to judge it without having seen it yet like when it comes to other forms of media. I doubt he's going to go hard in the paint for it the entire hour, even when other specials have had their titles and subjects about the main point he's never done that.It's pretty clear what the main subject of this will be.
Someone in here also already said what his recent standup was like, and going by the title I imagine it's like the material that this will have:
As someone who loved Dave Chappelle but fell out bc of his antics, the show I went to last week was underwhelming if not a little disappointing. I was hoping to see growth but it didn't seem like he cared.That can be the main subject of the special but that doesn't mean I have to like it. If most of his special's about that negativity?

My problem is that between the transphobic shit, the terrible unfunny gay jokes, and the whole #metoo bit, the bad parts took up a significant part of his last couple specials.That can be the main subject of the special but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

It took a significant part of the show I saw too.My problem is that between the transphobic shit, the terrible unfunny gay jokes, and the whole #metoo bit, the bad parts took up a significant part of his last couple specials.
Saw this same show the other weekend. Yep, he goes back to those same wells.It's exactly what happened at his most recent show. Saw him and Jon Stewart last week.

Yeah those Michael Jackson stuff.......I was like nah Dave. Don't do that.Saw this same show the other weekend. Yep, he goes back to those same wells.
He also mentioned at the show that he was going to be back on Netflix at the end of the month. I was surprised he dropped that info since no press releases had been sent out, at that point. He also alluded to the fact that some of his bits from that night would be on the Netflix special.
You just reminded me, him defending Louis CK really pissed me off. I'm usually cool with other jokes because I think there is a lot of humor in fucked up situations, and certain events (e.g., Kevin Hart) have more nuance to them. Louis CK is indefensible to me though. There were also a couple Michael Jackson jokes that crossed some lines.
