This was Punching Down for 1 Hour ft Dave Chapelle. Felt pretty tasteless from beginning to end.
Yep that Bourdain bit was tasteless. I thought Dave might have been bringing that up to make some sort of compassionate or thoughtful or bittersweet observation about mental illness, but nope. The joke was "He had a great job, and he hung himself."
That audience will laugh at anything, apparently. They sure seemed to enjoy being scolded for disapproving of predatory celebrities. They seemed to enjoy having their personal experiences of sexual assault being mocked and trivialized too.
To be clear, these topics shouldn't be off limits in comedy. But you damn well shouldn't talk about them in your set if you have nothing intelligent or humorous to say.
Yeah I was waiting for him to go deeper there like he often does, the importance of mental health injected with his impeccable humor and way of approaching it. But nothing.
As someone who loved everything he released so far (bar some jokes from the last one) this fell flat completely. As a Dave fan, i'm a bit devastated to see my GOAT comedian take this route. Wasn't even funny as well.
I don't mind if a comedian is offensive, Dave usually injects thought and humor into it like few others. This was offensive for the sake of being offensive.
And when he scolded the audience by imitating them in a insulting way, generalizing everyone as that type of person.
It even says politically incorrect stand-up comedy on Netflix. People who are easily offended probably shouldn't watch it, they are not going to have a good time.
Hmm, at least for me, there's just the trailer under "Trailers & More."
I liked it. Not his best special but some hilarious jokes in there.

Next month man!Going to watch this as soon as I get home. Been looking forward to this one and I can't wait for Bill Burr's special which is out later this year too I believe
Wasn't supposed to be a q&a at the end? The show just ended for me. I don't understand

are Burr's specials going up on netflix too, or is he a comedy central or HBO guy?
Burr has been a Netflix guy for a bunch of years now.are Burr's specials going up on netflix too, or is he a comedy central or HBO guy?

What happened to Dave ? His compassion seems to be gone. It's like a different person trying to unleash his hate, he was never this mean spirited. And most of it isn't even funny.
I was furious when Dave mentioned Anthony Bourdain killing himself and the audience laughing. WTF ?
I loved everything Dave released. Except for this one. This was just incredibly mean spirited, without any humor.
Going out of your way to say your special is politically incorrect is corny as fuck. Dude might as well have called it "triggered" but that title was already taken by Joe Rogan.I liked it. Not his best special but some hilarious jokes in there.

Yeah, it's supposed to lead into ~22 min Q&A session titled "Epilogue: The Punchline"; it did it automatically for me following the credits. Looks like it can be found in the Trailers & More tab under the trailer for the special, at least that is how it is on my phone.
Gonna rewatch it tonight when the wife gets home. Seems a pretty even split on Era; I was expecting far more of the board to have noped out after the first 15 minutes.
The man makes stand up look effortless. When you're so good that it doesn't even look like you're working, that's impressive.
It was great, really good!
It kind of remind me a bit of Aziz as well.
It's another racially discriminated dude calling out discrepancies and false equivalence on the left and why it can't move forward.
Same time has been used on black communities and exemplify why blacks are feeling that the left will always fail them, that even if is fighting the right, still always in favor of white supremacy, just another side of the coin.
Basically, why Trump still winning.
I know, I really liked.
Pretty good takeWatched the special and the q&a
It's definitely as funny as usual, but it's way less deep
We have never seen a Dave like this. At the time of the Chapelle Show we had a Dave entertainer first and society criticiser second. Then in his comeback he had maturate, it was a deep Dave, "philosopher" first and entertainer next.
But today we had something entirely new, we had Chapelle provocateur, he just dived in controversies without expanding anything. I understand what he was trying to do, his second impression was a clear message, but after the 4 special it came out as weak.
I hope he goes back to deep Chapelle, if he is ever going to release a new special
that's how I saw it, and he explicitly states so about 3/4s in.It was great, really good!

That's fine to call out false equivalencies, but his comedy lacks the punch it once had because he has largely abandoned the empathy he used to inject into his comedy. Which at times gave it a social gravity almost no comedians can ever reach.It was great, really good!
