Yeah fuck that, if you lay down with pigs don’t get upset when you wake up covered in shit.
You helped cause this, dummy
Learn and make up for it, then you get forgiveness
Desperately rewriting history after not wanting to play conservative crowds anymore. Fuck off Dave. If he apologized and changed I MIGHT hear him out, but all he is doing now is shifting blame.
Remember when you prematurely ended your show because of some white guy laughing a little too hard at some of your racial humour in a way that you didn’t like? Well guess what Dave, that’s your fuckin audience now after you quadrupled down on your trans bullshit.
These are the people who you chose after you were politely asked to lay off the trans thing and you refused.
Too much of a disconnected rich guy now to give a shit what the poors think I guess.
Did the Saudi money already run out? You don’t get to cater to these jackals then claim innocence when they run with your jokes.
Iirc that was Bill Burr laughing at him during the taping of a sketch he was in
This is the guy who complains about affordable housing, right?
Fuck you Dave Chappelle.
FUCK YOU.
Dave Chapelle is what I like to call a Comedian Bro, sister to Podcast Bro. Having money doesn’t always make you a classier person.
I used to like him somewhat. But I put on one of those Netflix specials with him and tuned out around 10-15 minutes in because he was just unfunny and hateful. Same with the British bloke, who’s name I forgot. He was pretty based when he called out the actors being friends with Epstein during the Oscars but the latest gig was just “haha, girl with a cock, hahahaha lol, man with tits”. It’s just not funny. If you make jokes about minorities, at least have them be funny and not hurtful. It can be done, just not like this.
Ricky Gervais is who you’re thinking of. He’s essentially an insult comedian who became famous on a radio show ragging on his costar. In context, he’s just doing his thing…
Didn’t he become famous for The Office?
Both happened concurrently, but the radio show lasted well beyond the office. It was the most downloaded podcast in 2006, and got him a show on HBO. He’s absolutely not known for the office.
He’s absolutely not known for the office.
do you have any idea how big that show was in the UK?
holy shit mate
insult comedian
lol, someone’s upset. was it the criticism of religion? probably
Upset about what? I fuckin love Gervais
dude’s a genuine comic’s comic, he’s funny in all circumstances, but to you he’s just some insult comic who got famous “on a radio show ragging on his costar.”
like, that’s petty levels of dismissive imho. the kind of shit I expect to hear from whiney zealots pouting about their invisible friends.
haha lol found the whiney zealots pouting about their invisible friends!
Condensing english prick comedian?
Probably Ricky Gervais
Oh yeah, and also that other comedian I’ve forgotten the name of. What a dick.
I wish that skit was just comedy sketches. White supremacist (billionaire) propaganda is so effective there really are some terribly racist black people out there.
There’s always been self-hating members of the oppressed, ranging from true believers to those that think being “one of the good ones” will save them.
Dave Chappelle the older he’s gotten, the more he’s punched down. It’s not like he wasn’t doing that when he was younger, he just got worse and worse over time. Then he tried to be one of the good ol’ boys and just wasn’t rich or influential enough to fit in and now he wants to pretend he isn’t a crappy person deep down. It’s a bit hard to make it far in entertainment if you aren’t pretty self-centered and opportunistic. He just unmasked to the crowd that weren’t his audience and now he wants back in with the younger crowd again
Did the money get to him? Was he always like this and not having fuck you money kept him in check?
He was probably always like this to a degree. Thing to keep in mind is that political alignments when it comes to voting blocs aren’t all or nothing. Even if historically Chapelle has voted democratic, that doesn’t mean he cared for everything equally or at all and this applies very much to black people and racial minorities in the US and western European countries and leftist parties as those parties are seen as less racist parties so you really don’t have as much leeway to vote for other issues when your safety and basic rights as a minority group are more of a concern over stuff like economic/immigration/healthcare/sexuality/gender/etc policies. Like Chapelle will dependably care for politics that are pro-black Americans but any other race, I’m skeptical he actually cares and very likely doesn’t care for matters of gender and sexuality. In regards outside of social black american policies, he may very well be firmly conservative. It just wasn’t good for his brand earlier in his career
Similar vein would be like the past decade of popular rappers being way more embracing of the republican party than in the past. Like Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj. Like do Beyonce and Jay-Z really care about the working class or other races. Jay Z was a crack dealer and in the Epstein papers and Beyonce has consistently made use of sweatshop labor and been ruthless with her touring employees. Social progressives in regards to the what they identify with, conservative in regards to their money and possibly other identities.
Racism is still a problem but this isn’t the 70s. It’s not that surprising considering how mainstream homophobia a lot of rap used to be up to the early 2010s. So as multiculturalism continues to become more and more normal, I have expected for a long time for left/right voting splits by race to trend towards 50/50. In the past openly conservative actors/musicians/comedians/entertainers/etc were a lot more common. I’m guessing the civil rights movements going mainstream is what changed that. Then as the civil rights movements that had huge swaths of people could identify with starting passing some good enough threshold, demographic based civil rights becomes more niche and parties have to experiment with messaging and being a conservative entertainer/artist stops being career suicide
I think there should be some healthy skepticism for actors and their actual political alignments. It’s been practically required for public relations for entertainers to be seen as leftist but at the studio executive and I expect at the funding source producer level, there’s always been a high percentage of conservative representation. And publicly rich leftist, I’ve never seen them as eager to fund leftist political causes like publicly rich conservatives. Well known advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Ashton Kutcher, was quick to defend his close friend and serial rapist from that 70s Show. Stories of him and Wilmer Valderrama make them both sound predatory towards young women/girls.
Like their shouldn’t be any genetic reason why white people should be more conservative across the board of polices. The same really for LGBTQ people being progressive which is why I’m never surprised about the existence of conservative people of LGBTQ backgrounds. People always mention how western European politics are so much more leftist than American but to me that only really applies to the social safety net but that doesn’t apply to overall policy in regards to capitalism, immigration, foreign policy/imperialism-racism outside of their own borders. As non-white populations in European countries increase, to me it looks like race politics and racism have become more and more reflective of the US. I have doubts the social safety nets in Europe would have ever been passed if at the times their populations were as racially diverse as the US was in the 50s-80s
Right, he was “only” targeting transgender people for money. Way better. /s
Get bent, Dave. You became the thing you used to mock.
Speaking of, does anybody still listen to what Bill Burr has to say?
You mean ever since he sold out and took Saudi blood money?
That is the exact thing I was referring to. I hear he still does podcasts but my algo dropped him faster than I could.
Narrator: That was in fact, what the Elon Musk fan named Dave was doing.
I’ve installed “Highlight This!” Firefox extension and added all the comedians that went to Saudi Arabia there. Now whenever one of them pops out on any site I know to just ignore it.

Burr was hardest to hit when that list first came out. Dudes funny and always seemed to have a good head, (as redheaded as it is). Talk about a career ending decision, yeesh.
He’s still pretty sexist.
talk about a career ending decision
Sadly I don’t think many people care outside of the internet left bubble.
He cares and he knows his fans care
I was really disappointed by that one. I’ve loved him since his first special but after taking blood money from the Saudis I just can’t watch anymore of his shit.
Old’ Billy Bloodmoney
How did he rationalize it? Does it hold a drop?
From what i know it’s he defended the tour with the same PR nonsense all the others gave, like they agreed on reasons together. They claim it’s racist to not do a show for the Saudi people. That completely disregards the fact they performed for the Saudi family. Beyond that i haven’t listened to him at all.
Kinda disappointed about Jimmy Carr. Don’t really care about the rest.
I mean… It does fit his persona, dude will do anything to fund his endeavor to not look old.
Plus he has a history of tax fraud.
Fuck you, Chappelle
