Dave Chappell’s- closer

Any watched his latest Netflix special? I thoroughly enjoyed it. Apparently it has some people going crazy over it

Long time Chappelle fan.
His recent work IMO has been kinda lame. With The Closer being no exception.

Laughs few and far between.

Guy's got to get his head out of his ass and remember he's a comedian, not a TED talk presenter.

Yeah, he cross the conscious barrier and making a point, but at the expense of funny.

The best to accomplish both was the Great Richard Pryor.

I appreciate listening to the man speak. The way he crafts his jokes you never know whether its a serious story or a joke until the very end. Also a master of the call back. Its his later work I appreciate most. I feel smarter for watching it while having a good time. But if you just looking at belly laughing nothing can touch his early special killing me softly.

Bill Burr is my go to guy these days. He consistently knocks it outta the park! big grin

I was telling my bro the only white comedian I listen to is John Mulaney. So he asked me what about Bill Burr. I said Bill Burr aint white lol lol lol

We the black delegation choose Bill Burr, Garry Owens and Michael Rappenport

In reply to bravos The “Closer” was more a message than a LOL comedy --- look Chappell is the same guy who walked away from his TV show leaving $50 million on the table – that was a message – so is the Closer ---who dont like it - tough

Prime Chris Rock was good.


Man has to tone down with age, his audience is now older! can't be like Madonna.

In reply to camos

Yeah fuh sure. I realize that as i got older I like the laugh out loud stuff less than the stuff that makes me think.

 
SnoopDog 2021-10-27 19:15:04 

In reply to Jabari18 & Camos

Chris Rock is my generation.

But when you watch videos of Pryor in his prime (all coked up) you really see how much more fluid and accomplished he was than today's guys.

I also rate George Carlin above guys like Rock and Chappelle. I'm not dissing these guys. It's just that I think guys like Pryor and Carlin were that much better.

Carlin had the ability to make red neck conservatives laugh at jokes about Reagan and Nascar. They might have been offended, but the joke was so funny they couldn't help but laugh....and clap. big grin

In reply to SnoopDog

George is goooooooooood!

big grin

 
velo 2021-10-27 20:07:56 

chappelle as he has gotten older his style of comedy has changed into a more politically and social conscious vibe that might not be for everybody what i do appreciate is that unlike eddie murphy or kevin hart he has never apologised for anything he has said in his past comedy routines.

 
Jabari18 2021-10-27 21:55:47 

In reply to SnoopDog

Bro saying that a comedian is beneath Carlin and Pryor (or Dave or Rock or even Hart) ain’t a diss.

Have you taken in much Bernie mac?

Also a man who I find deserves to be in the convo but never mentioned is Damon Wayans

George Carlin was the best in my view

Much respect to Dave. Don't bow to dem, GOAT.

 
JahJah 2021-10-28 12:48:50 

Bill Burr is funny...but it's mostly mindless stuff...which a serving of yelling nonstop. A funny Gilbert Gottfried?

Chappelle made a movie, nobody is willing to distribute it. Cancelled a bit.

Tommy is hilarious.

 
Trinidave 2021-10-29 12:45:32 

TriniD has said it many times before, and he'll say it again. Dave Chapelle is ah phorquene genius. And TriniD does not use de word "genius" lightly.

We're witnessing genius in this artform. And you don't have tuh agree wid Chapelle to know dis.

I also rate George Carlin In reply to SnoopDog


I discovered him after his death.....serious delivery skills.

The man touched on social issues, topics that were not yet invented.

I think Dave C made a decision to use his platform to educate and to make people think. Respect.
