Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful recently?

I haven't watch anything from him since forever because I don't find his jokes funny, it's mostly him complaining or trash talk other people.

His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.

Here's some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven't watched anything of his shit since but it's probably just him whining even more now:

  • Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.

  • And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!

  • If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.

  • trans-bitch from the picture.

  • A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.

  • I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.

  • “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.

  • Gender is a fact.

  • Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?

  • I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

And here's what the actual goat comedian who had a lasting impact in the industry beyond a mediocre skit series in late 90s Comedy Central and one movie might retort to Chappelle

You wouldn't even need to change that many words from the Carlin interview for it to be 100% accurate to today. Andrew > Dave, Jewish > Black. Done.

I guess in Chappelle's view women are just their cycle or something

[–] RogueAozame@programming.dev 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren't generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it's bad.

"Transgenders" is not the way to refer to trans people, but thank you for the support.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)
