    1. is he ever going to make headlines for being funny or is he just gonna live off edgy sound bites for the rest of his life?

    2. Most disappointing and unnecessary heel turn in comedy ever. Chappelle reached legendary comic status and decided to burn so much goodwill and admiration just for being called out for repeatedly punching down on trans people.

      The Dave of Chappelle’s show is long gone. A revival would only appeal to Nerdrotic/Critical Drinker types.

      You know for someone who claims to constantly get cancelled he sure is around a lot

    5. aka I’ve managed my money horribly and burned through it faster than it has been replenishing. Now that my opinions are unpopular I need to find a way to repopulate my bank account

      Riyadh’s favorite anti-woke comedian! Let’s watch this washed up loser chainsmoke while he complains about things he can’t seem to comprehend. Hey Netflix!! Dave is walking toward a stage with a stool on it, and he’s got a carton of cigarettes! Hurry!!! Give him $20 million so we can hear his thoughts on trans people!!!!!!

      Dave swears he’s the underdog. Youre a rich black bored man making life harder for poor black trans kids. You da villain cause you choose to be and we choose not to pay attention to you anymore.

    8. He hasn’t been funny in decades and I won’t support anything he does anymore. He’s just another old out of touch guy with no real sense of humor.

      lol after all that crying about don’t watch chapelle show to support him now it’s something he wants to consider revisiting? 🤦‍♂️

    10. I use to love this dude. Then… well we all know what happened. He isn’t a philosopher, he’s a comic and he forgot that in his bubble.

    11. It would be the perfect time to bring the show back, but I hope he’s gotten much more resistant for public backlash because every episode will be placed under a microscope even if doesn’t touch on the hot button issues he milked to death in his specials.

    12. He used to be funny, all he’s doing now is preaching while taking money from dictators.

      He’s made mistake of believing his wealth and ego, actually equals genius. He’s lost that perspective, he once had.

      I saw Dave do a small set like a decade ago in Buffalo. It was a great show, pretty sure I laughed so hard I cried. That said…I’m not sure a show by him would be as funny as the original episodes. Time, place, and message lined up perfectly before. Now…I’m not too sure. I’d tune in but not in confidence🤷🏿‍♂️

      I think at the time it was funny as humanly possible. But I don’t think it can carry over to now. To try and bring it back might get a few laughs but it would be like a bunch of the redo shows and movies, shit.

      I’m good on a half hour of him crying about trans people. We’re good Dave, you should tour with rob Schneider.

    17. the style of comedy in Chappelle’s show wouldnt work today.

      Even if you ignored all the controversial stuff he’s done in recent years, Reddit would eat him alive solely for stuff like the racial draft or the MTV Real World parody.

      He made fun of everything In those specials, yet the backlash is coming from one specific group he poked fun at. It’s either all ok to goof on or none of it is.

    19. He’d probably bring back his white newsreader and say “I’m trans now” lol good one Dave

    20. Him trying to do a new Chappelle show season would be hilarious, because I think it’d be terrible, because a show like that is going to get farmed online for every off color joke, out of context clip and line that’s ever spoken. I truly do not know if he even has the talent to come back to something like Chappelle show and not just dig himself into an even bigger hole. But if he does, he’ll get paid, that’s for sure, and he’ll probably not care too much about the public discourse around him.

      All he has is backlash now. Who fucking cares? Who has the money to give a shit about Dave Chappell doing anything?

    22. He was really funny 20 years ago before he got roided up and obsessed with trans people.

      I would love to see a revival. I disagree with him on a lot politically, but he is an incredible artist and I disagree with most artists I love politically. So what? Good art is good art!

    24. Active_Track_5925 on

      No mention of him taking slave money from Saudi Arabia for their comedy festival

    25. Isn’t he dead? I’m sure I heard he was dead. At least, he’s completely dead to me. Dead dead deadski.

      Dave went from doing white face to mock suburban gentrifiers to literally joining his city council to block affordable housing. Bro lived long enough to be the villain.
