[barf]

About to watch this newest Dave Chappelle special tonight. Anyone seen it?
I am expecting great things, as always. Clearly it and the new Ricky Gervais special has the lefties up in arms.

I actually just finished it a little bit ago and enjoyed it.

Material aside, the man can be a captivating storyteller.

Yeah I think he would be just as funny with any material. Super talented.

 

[S4f]

Yes, I thought it was funny, not his funniest but still good

 

[mostly22lately]

there were a few moments of goodness ... the best parts are the facial expressions he conjures, and the cadence he alters on purpose to establish the duration of comedic pause he will need

 

[Tim]

Not his best, but worth the hour.

No more trans jokes? Come on! He barely scratched the surface of that gold mine.

 

[J R Green]

I'm glad Dave has a wife who keeps him grounded.

I thought Gervais was a lefty?

Eh. I think he’s one of those centrists who is now default slight right because the left has gone so far left. Further right of Bill Maher?

Wife and I watched it last night. Pretty much spot on. Lots of laughs, but nothing had me rolling. Not his best but still good. Love how he sets stuff up. Nothing,.so far, beats: "kicked her in the pu**y".

Best joke ever. Bitch better have my stovetop!

He calls out bull where he sees it. if that happens to be on the left, he'll say it. he doesn't always toe the line, so he's bad.

HAHAHA!

Reminds me of the "How The Avengers Should Have Ended" video on YouTube, where the Avengers are sitting in the Superhero Cafe with Superman and Batman.

Superman: I guess I would be jealous...if I wasn't, like, all of you combined. If I couldn't fly or shoot lasers or catch missiles and see really far, smash buildings and wear red and...(money rustling as it starts piling up under and around the table)

Iron Man: What's that? You're fading out...

Captain America: Whoa! We've broken too many records!

Thor: We can't hear you through all this box office money...

(Avengers laugh)

(Batman sighs)

Hulk: Shawarma!

Meh. Maybe, maybe not.

But he's a REAL comedian, who isn't picky about where he finds his humor. And if it's a current hot topic, regardless of what it is, you can bet he's gonna use it.

To me, that's what makes a comedian REALLY funny. Whereas an obvious left or right comedian can come across as "not funny" to people on the opposite side of the political spectrum (because there's an obvious agenda undercurrent), a comedian like Ricky Gervais can make anybody laugh, even if it hits sensitive political soft spots with people, because it's quite clear he's in it for the humor. And, honestly, if you can't see the humor in a lot of the BS we live and deal with on a daily basis, you're a lost cause anyway.
