"One of the people who was extremely gung-ho about it brought up the Chapelle special and mentioned how Dave Chapelle is actively encouraging gay people to commit suicide as proof that comedy needs to be audited first."
"I cannot tell you how angry I get when someone asks me 'how could you possibly listen to Azealia/Kanye/Ariel Pink after what they've done? How could you watch Chapelle/Louis CK after what they did?'"
"He wasn't that ornery, waxing philosophical about the evils of white people, trans-obsessed Dave we've seen in the last few specials. He was light-hearted, candid and silly. He even looked better physically. Slimmer, a bit closer to how he looked on Chappelle's show."

"So many people are angry at him for whining about comedians not being able to say anything offensive. How is this not a nail in the coffin comeback to that? I had the episode on my ipod nano where Eddie Murphys brother solemnly was like 'sorry but these sketches were too much for Dave so let's discu"
"Please keep a close eye on David Duchovny of the X Files, Dave Chappelle of the Dave Chappelle Show, David Fincher of the David Fincher movies, and David Spader from Joseph Dirt."

"I don't care about the offensive jokes obviously. It just wasn't funny. It was painfully self indulgent. The audience is laughing at random statements that aren't even jokes. 10 minutes in he's told like 5 jokes and only 1 made me laugh. This was Nanette for the anti woke crowd."

"Grimes and her husband, the richest man in world history, give COVID to Dave Chapelle and Joe Rogan, so Joe has to drop out from flying to an island in Abu Dabhi to announce for a UFC fight."

"Much like Swift, he's not particularly impressive at what he does, he's not Louis CK or Chappelle but it doesn't matter, he's a guy's guy, he talks about guy stuff, dudes identify with him and he perfectly encapsulates positive masculinity."

"I don't mean mischievous ne'er do wells like Dave Chappelle and potty mouths like Jimmy Carr, I need non political people who thrive on hate and the controversy of their own wrongdoings."

"He goes on to tell me that he thinks Nick has fallen into the edgy-comedian-to-alt-right pipeline, along the lines of someone like, I guess Joe Rogan or Dave Chapelle."
"Watching his Netflix series has been a bummer for me not just because of his cold takes and recycled Tracy Morgan bits, but mainly because he sounds like a dude ranting about people he's making up in his head after being on Twitter all day. Literally all of his 'points' are just about people being m"

"Finally watched that Chappelle special and am disappointed in him and the rest. Everyone gets a Netflix special and talks about "culture" and political polarization and gone is the comedy that involved characters and clever story lines that served as insightful commentary."
