We watched it last night. We did not find it that offensive. I mean there were a lot of ni**er jokes, so I get why some people would be offended. And some g*y jokes…so…there’s that too. Honestly…it was not really that funny…some interesting topics, but not much that had us laughing. It was the first Dave Chappelle thing I have watched, so maybe it’s one of those things that you have to watch a bunch of to really enjoy.

I’ve never heard Chappell or any other comedian for that matter tell N jokes.

I’m halfway through and loving it. So far it’s more irreverent comedy and less axe grinding than I’ve seen from him lately. The glory hole bit was fantastic.

He just started in on the trans bit.

“Dave, watch it, they’re coming after you.”

“One they or many theys?”

Also, as I stated, I have seen the The Closer in its entirety. I was referring to the last one I saw where he seemed genuinely angry at the "cancellation" of Cosby and Jackson.

I think he's genuinely angry that artists, actors get "cancelled." Which I get. I get angry at that sometimes too.

Ok. So his recent appearance at his HS alma mater was not what I would call a real mentoring opportunity.

In the end, I think he is still trying to be supportive. And raw and honest is him. But I can see how it can be a bit over the top.

Uh, ... yup.

If you have to say out loud that you are better than everyone in the the room/school/whatever, then, ... guess what?

You're not.

The three of you do realize that you have absolutely no idea what the context of that statement was, right?

Where were you guys when Daniel Tosh said he was going to kick a kid in the teeth?

"If I meet one more kid and ask him what he wants to do when he gets older and he replies, “I want to be famous like you,” I’m gonna kick him in his teeth. You’re never gonna be famous. Never. You have no chance. I didn’t get here because I work hard. I have a gift from God. “Everybody gets their 15 minutes of fame, buddy.” Excuse me? That’s an average. Yeah, that’s zero for you, you, you, you. Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, [points to self] 20 years, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero."

And Tosh has become an insufferable ass with what seems like no new material in a while. His schtick made him famous, congrats. I also think Chapelle is has become an insufferable ass.

Oh, and where I was when Tosh said that, I have no idea because when you posted this, it was the first I had heard what he said. Why does that make what Chapelle said any better. I don't think you can even compare the size of the audience between the two. Chapelle is recent, Tosh is several years old.

Because they are comedians. That's the whole point I was trying to make. Just because they say something doesn't mean that it is supposed read and interpreted literally as an opinion that they hold.
