I feel like 99% of the country doesn’t feel offended by the special and they love it. That’s the real problem with giving news time to these 1% of people
It takes a lot of pressure off everyone when you come to realise the news sells what is hot, not what is helpful. It is just a business and has leaned into ratings/$$$ more than morality.
this would only be true if the largest media conglomerate in the world, Fox News, was also against it. Which they are not. More people watch Fox News than anything else. So the claim that the pro-Chappelle people are being suppressed is wrong.
"I don't understand all the choices people make, but I know that life is hard, and that those choices should not disqualify you from a life of happiness, dignity and safety in it" - Dave Chappelle This is at the root of his comedy, this is real empathy.
They know he's not hateful or bigoted. He never NOT ONCE implied anything but empathy for them in every single special. It's just that he said he's #teamterf and "listen to women", which they consider to be akin to violence. Saying men cannot be women is considered hate, according to them
Totally agree. I actually don't mind cancelling some hateful bigots for spewing their hate, but the only time dave is spewing hate is at the annual playa haters ball.
Only watched the special because of the controversy. Laughed so hard I cried for most of it. Went and watched his other Netflix special, equally funny. Thanks cancel culture for introducing me to stand up Chapelle.
@@PinoyAbnoy it might affect my enjoyment of the performance, but I wouldn’t take personal offense its not like I expect the comedian to know my life story when I get there
As they should. Comedians are the most truthful people. Politicians are the exact opposite. One deserves respect, and one deserves to be laughed at. Figure out which is which...
I'm queer, wear women's clothes, had gender confusion my whole life and love Dave Chappelle. If you cannot laugh at yourself, you do not accept yourself. Your perception of me is not me, therefore how you perceive me is of no relevance to me.
@bobby macdermott First off, as one who has been shunned, tormented and abused, since I was nine(1969) for being gender fluid long before you were likely even a spark in your daddy's eye, I can say it is you who is the knucklehead. The abuse was most dominant when no one talked about people like me, families were ashamed of people like me and the med establishment considered us insane. That has all changed because people started talking about it for good or for bad. I know who I am, and knowing who I am I can laugh at myself. If you are so easily butthurt by what someone says, who you have no emotional connection with, then you have the problem and need some counselling.
@bobby macdermott For the record, you are the one spewing vitriol, coming here all butt hurt and angry over a comedian's jokes. What central point? That you cannot differentiate between a comedian's jokes and reality.
@bobby macdermott Chappelle nor you are responsible for what someone else views and/or their ability to deal with it. If they cannot deal with it, it is their prerogative to not watch it, it is not their prerogative to shut Chappelle up. How about I find what you are fomenting fostering to be totally offensive and call for your voice to be silenced? I do find it offensive, dangerous and tyrannical. But, I'd be a hypocrite if I told you to shut up, rather I will just not read your replies anymore.
You miss Dave's point if you make this about him. I am positive he'd rather you fight for free speech so that all of his friends can make a living doing what they love. #HeDoesn'tPunchDownHepunchesLines&IsBrilliant
They did it to your elected president, you think they can't do it to a comedian? Big tech, the media and the machine are all democrats and they think Dave committed hate speech. That's a big offence for them.
Humor and sarcasm are ways of softening the extreme biases of controversial views. It helps people open up to sensitive topics and is crucial to understanding differences in opinion and reducing polarization.
@@devghost9913 Black people have been saying this forever and have been ignored. Laughing at ourselves is literally just part of our culture; we know it’s one of the few ways to further progress and effectively tear down psychological borders.
Thank god for people like Joe Rogan having so much influence, it's nice to see voices of reason in the showers of insanity that seem to run rampant these days in society.
This is a question only a transphobic person would ask. Why do people give such pushback to calling a trans person a trans person? You spend so much energy criticizing and denying their existence when you can just let them live lol makes zero sense
The man is true to himself and his humor, I believe, comes from a perspective that's not from hate but from true love of his fellow brothers and sisters of the human race and in general we are just funny creatures and we should be able to laugh at each other and ourselves. We need more Chapelle and less woke that can't deal with their feelings. Make fun of them Dave, I'm too late on that one I'm sure.
Ct If a white comedian spewed racial jokes about black people, he'd be canceled rightfully and there would be no argument about it. Chappelle's can spew anti trans rhetoric by saying he is TRANS EXCLUSIONARY (The T and the E in TERF) and somehow that's OK. That's hypocrisy. H5
When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s talking trash to friends was a form of endearment, it showed that there was so much love that even offensive language had no affect and just generated laughs.
@Lira G Most of the ire towards the LGBT community is due to blowback from when they attack religion or individuals for perceived wrongs. When you give out as much hate as you get you can't complain.
@Lira G I don't believe in GOD but I do believe in mental illness!!! People that think we should all feel, think, speak and believe the same thing is crazy.
My family is like that. If they tease you they like you. I'm not sure if I'm going to explain this right, but sometimes it's uncomfortable when a person is ALWAYS nice and polite. I hope people don't misunderstand that.
Funny, considering that Chapelle didn't give a shit about Daphne since he even misgendered her. But the way you phrased it, it's quite clear you also don't care about trans people at all considering how by that story, Chapelle probably had something to do with her suicide.
@@liz1646 You're out of your mind if you think "Chapelle didn't give a shit about Daphne." He misgendered her in a humourous manner; which is a type of humor she appreciated. There is no hate in his heart with regards to trans people. Daphne understood. It's kind of gross that you're disrespecting Daphne's memory like this.
@@liz1646 Your head must be pretty far up your ass lol it's crazy how some people can actually believe that they know someone elses personal life that they have never met before.
You want real inclusion? In the Closer, Mr. Chappelle manages to tell one of the most impactfully HUMANIZING stories regarding the struggle of the trans community I have ever seen on screen... and somehow an oblivious minority of fragile minded activists not only misses it, but I would argue their outrage over the special is actually inoculating the very audience it might have moved to a kinder perspective -- in effect causing further entrenchment of unfavorable stereotypes. In my mind, that is the real loss here. It worked as a powerfully humanizing story, not only because it was raw and unadorned, but because it was devoid of the usual propaganda. In a sense, to be ALSO included as a butt-of-the-joke is one of the truly egalitarian and redeeming features of good mature comedy, but that ONLY works if you invite everyone to the table and take turns giving them a good go over. Sometimes it seems protected classes and taboo perspectives are doing more to dehumanize groups of people than all the bigots combined. :(
@@ballsackinater GTFO with that. Love Dave man but no one’s above the industry. Too many other comics out there. Not to say they’re as big as him though.
so can white people make jokes about black people now? what if they have a black friend? will they get a hall pass? and what if it's funny?? comedy is comedy! let's just all laugh at everyone!! blacks, whites, gays, ourselves.... let's do it!!!
@@hknowstheway8898 actually yeah white people can make jokes about black people. They’d also have to make jokes about whites. There’s a difference between funny and hateful
In the show Dave talks about an exchange between himself and Daphne, in which he 'claims' that he doesn't understand transgenderism. Daphne replies "I don't need you to understand me. I only need you to believe me, that I'm having a human experience." All the bullying and harassment that Daphne suffered in the days after she came to Dave's defence seeked to rob her of her humanity. They stripped of all other elements, whether it be parent, fledgling stand-up, etc. All they seen or seemed to care about was that a transwoman spoke her mind, not the hive-mind and spoke from her heart, not from a poltical dogma. That's the beauty of humans, we're all different. They tried to paint her as a traitor to a community, the trans-community. As if one small part of her being meant that she would forever have to be a representative and a congruent part of that community. So one comedian reaches out to another, one human being collaborates with another human being in trying to understand the human experience - what makes us laugh, cry, scared, joyous - in order to find common ground for all communities and they drove a human being to feel that their life was unliveable. So the next time someone advocates for trans-acceptance and mentions the high number of trans-people who take their own lives, tell them that they themselves should take responsibility for that number being so high.
Dave was calling out the movement for crucifying one of their own because she didn’t March in lockstep. That’s why they’re so damn pissed! He held up a mirror and they didn’t like it.
No one even knows if it was trans people who caused Daphne to commit suicide. Dave didn't hold up a mirror. He invented a picture based on limited information. I mean, Dave didn't even know Daphne had a daughter till after she died. How much did he really know about her and her life?
@@KH-ch9wz Bruh yea. I was like "damn they just had to be in shot of the camera." Like I dunno it feels like a micro version of the real world. 30 or so people in camera shot laughing while 2 were not.
Dave Chappelle is one of the countries greatest pills. He is the medicine that we take to heal the rift between our different groups. Once we can.laugh at each other, healing begins.
Normally I wouldn’t have watched the Chappell special but due to the uproar from the woke crowd I had to check it out. We ended up binging on all his Netflix specials. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. The man is brilliant!
Am I the only one who thought that not only was it funny but Dave’s overall story was full of compassion, and quite poignant. I caught myself multiple times laughing in spite of myself. I just don’t understand how anyone who watched this Special until the end could have issue with it. 🤷🏻♀️
DC actually hit the nail.on the head with this specific point and he even addressed it in the show: people don't actually listen they hear buzzwords and jump to be offended
My man Dave had pain in his eyes. I laughed but I kept going back to watching his eyes and seeing sadness. I'm glad his specials are done for now. He needs to get away from these toxic people.
“Watch the entire episode for free only on Spotify”. Dude. I wish I could see these on Spotify. Spot doesn’t show Joe’s podcast in several regions, including mine (Pakistan). I used to listen to this *religiously* 😂
There is a theory about the left making children capable of adult decisions and hence giving tacit approval for that movie, but more importantly 'adult decisions' . Having said that the message on cuties was pretty clearly anti child exploitation even if the means was suspect. (literally rather than figuratively showing us)
I'm mtf trans and find Dave Chappelle's LGBTQ, including or specifically the T, jokes to be fg hilarious! Thanks Joe for explaining what hardly needed to be explained, except apparently it had to be. Gosh. Well, if nothing better, the whole thing has at least created a dialog.

Even if they heard it right, he said "mean" things so they'll do all kinds of mental contortionism to find a way to make that line seem hateful too. Once you say one thing out of like most people shut their brains off and refuse to be realistic about anything else that comes out of your mouth after that.
I live in Canada and noticed that Netflix didn't put chappels special on the front page, I know for sure it would be at least in the comedy section or popular section but it wasn't anywhere to be found, I had to use the search box and type in the name for it to show up.
Why is nobody talking about the story Dave told about his friend who was a transperson? That story almost made me cry, and it is so clear that Dave really does care about people. Seriously go and listen to that story; powerful, powerful stuff!!!
I watched the special on an extended lunch break today, most affected I have ever been by stand up comedy. Laughed all the way through but the closing 20 mins on another level altogether and broke my heart the story he told so well that you refer too. I'm an atheist but God better fucking bless Dave Chappelle 🙏
Thank you Joe Rogan Experience explaining this with plain yet very intelligent conversation!!! I don't think those that are giving Dave so much hate , really listen to the WHOLE stand-up...
It’s impossible to cancel Dave. Plus, that “offensive” joke was actually a nice story about his friend. I’m more offended by the people that were “offended” by it.
It was almost the equivalent of "I have a black friend so I can't be racist". Daphne sounded like she had health problems besides being trans and he could have talked about that if he had dived into her story more. You can do that without touching on specifics the family may not want out there. It seemed like a story to make your average person feel good and guilt trip trans who attacked Daphne over him.
@@kpaxxapk6397 Prejudice and racist are not the same thing. This is like getting sex and gender confused. They are not actual synonyms. You can think nothing but positive things about a people and ne racist as fuck. This is not a philosophy thing. It's English.
I really like what Mike said in the end there. Some people have never had real friends in order to understand that not every playful joke is hate or harassment. It can be a sign of the highest trust and friendsip.
How can they... they'd have socialize... in person... face to face... but ppl play video games virtually with each other, text dating, and equate love to "likes".
@@x-mess true :) These various forms of social media have been a net negative for reality and western civilization. Too many people now think of other folks as stereotypical extremes (based solely on online troll encounters), too many ridiculous and unproductive people have a voice, and they have tried to use their petty power to bring society to its knees.
I am also getting a vibe from the "victims" that they are taking jokes as literal, more on a mocking way and bullying than just plain jokes. Could be ADHD at play here, many of the people affected by it struggle to make friends because they just don't get others. I have a cousin that has ADHD, he would take things literal all the time, struggles to set boundaries, lacks friends and at one point he identified as trans. At some point during the beginning of the year he started to smoke weed, developed schizophrenic symptoms, and eventually full blown psychosis. Weed is known to trigger schizophrenia on some people with other mental issues and I warned him about it since I also use it ( I research everything lol). Before he went into psychosis he was fully immersed in the Qanon conspiracies, full on 5G nanobots tinfoil hat and was even seeing shadow people. He stopped being trans after getting committed and given meds. He feels deeply ashamed of dressing like a woman and taking hormones, he doesn't understand anymore why he did it. I believe trans people really do feel like women, there is something going on in their brains that makes them different. There definitely are trans people that become happy living as women but other people struggle with life just as hard after transitioning. The jokes are not the issue, this is getting out of hand and people are ignoring facts because its easier to live in a lie than to face reality.
It's actually really sad to consider that a lot of these people have never been close enough to someone to make or receive a hilarious and brutal joke. I grew up in a multicultural neighborhood and we were savages to each other- but our little gang fought for each other and had each other's back .
This is unprecedented... Comedy and the artform is undeniably under attack and Dave Chappelle is the best man to address it head on during these delicate and sensitive cancel culture cslls and boycotts. We all owe him a bended knee for for his heroism in the face of adversity and seeing this in our lifetime is amazing. Much respect to you and for you Dave Chappelle or otherwise known the G.O.A.T! 👏👏👏
“Those who are determined to be offended will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt.” -Christopher Hitchens
You gotta admit it's a ballsy strategy of the protesters though, trying to attack chappelle at the money level, if they fail, all they accomplish is 50 million extra streams for Chappelle and netflix
The controversy in the UK media got me to watch the special. I have since gone on to watch all of Dave's material. I thank those who criticised Dave for getting me to finally get around to watching his stuff. He is class!!!
Your ridiculous police will be at your house shortly. "Roight! What's all this then! Let's have a look at your CZcams commenting license, there's a good chap!"
Making you laugh while talking about someone’s Suicide. Only a brilliant comedian pulls the light out of darkness like that. I would be honored to see Dave Chapelle in person. Definitely on the bucket list.
I wasn't at all offended by the show and do not for a second believe that Dave nor anyone should be cancelled...but let's not act like Chappelle's set was nonstop jokes. Dave has a way of doing half commentary half jokes, which he's great at weaving but guess what, you do that sorta thing then you open yourself to some people focusing on the commentary portion and speaking out about what they disagree with. In fact, I feel like most of it was him just speaking his mind so yes, some people are going to take issue with what he has to say even if there's no animosity behind it.
@patricia fernandez • that small group do not want to see where he is coming from because for some god forsaken reason they think they are actually special.
I only watched the special because of all the controversy. He's not usually my comic style, but I came away with a huge amt of respect for him. He embodies the 'Shadow' that so many of us try to hide, and he did it in a very open and genuinely caring way that wasn't mean or hurtful.
People always need a bogeyman. Doesn't matter who it is. Having a bogeyman means you can always be the victim and never have to be accountable for anything
The entire trans community is freaking tf out about Chappelle, it's ironic how they blame Chappelle for his friends death, yet the trans community going after her played a huge part in her suicide

@@amyh4606 I doubt you watched Chappelle's special, or this video you're commenting on. If you have and you still think Rogan and Chappelle are transphobic, you are a fool and should take your cry-baby bullshit somewhere else
The funniest part of this, is that Dave was calling himself transphobic while speaking about the pain that caused him to lose his transwoman friend. He wanted this reaction to prove how stupid cancel culture can be. Why would a transphobic person befriend a trasgender person and give that person a shot at his comedy show?? Obviously, Dave isn't motivated by money or cloud or likes.... He didn't need to do those type of jokes, to build an act.... He did those jokes, to prove a point.
I’m not defending people that are protesting Dave but there are plenty of racist and homophobic people who have a person or persons in their friend group who fit the description of what they hate for example “how could I be racist I have a black friend etc “
@@Pissoff56 Let's actually try answer that. How intolerant can one actually get if they can look past their racism to make friends with a black person?
@@robincray116 a lot of people simply tolerate a person because of what they can provide, I knew a guy in my company that was always cordial with me but he turned out to be a racist but because of my position or rank he hung around me, the same reason certain family’s would adopt a black child but still be racist towards them
@@robincray116 There's a documentary about a black musician, Daryl Davis, who has gone around the country attempting to befriend Klan members in order to try and bring then back to reality. I remember one clip where one Klan member talks about his real and deep friendship with Davis...but he was still a Klan member. They just use the "he's one of the good ones" trope. Another example, extremely misogynistic men still get married to some poor woman, right? There's a reason "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" is a terrible way to dismiss accusations of racism. Now whether this is true of Chappelle and Daphne is difficult to know. I read that one of her last Tweets sounded like an apology of sorts to her peers, and perhaps recognizing that she may have been mistaken about her role in the whole situation. But who knows what was going through her mind?
No, it’s not a problem with people, it’s only with certain people. For most of us, if we don’t enjoy something we’re watching or listening to, we simply turn the channel to something else. The people that’s complaining are the only ones that are hating. They want whatever it is that they don’t like, agree with, approve of, etc to be removed and done with. That sounds a lot like communism to me.
100% agree, at my job we usually say that you have to earn the respect to be made fun of. Only when we know you well enough do we taunt you and never with hate/negativity.
When I worked overnight valet on the Las Vegas strip, I picked Dave up from a nightclub in the hotel car (he called the hotel for a pickup). While on the car ride back, he was plastered, but he was one of the NICEST guys I have ever met. A genuinely happy dude. In the years since then, I’ve seen him whenever he stays at the hotel and of all the celebs that stay there, he’s one of the very few that will chill out up front, not use the back VIP entrance so no one sees him, and he’ll sit there talking to fans and taking pictures with them. I’ve never seen him say or do anything that made him seem “better” than anyone else. That’s a LOT more that I can say than some of the other celebs that I see.
Chappelle’s special was healing and unifying by how he landed it. He humanized everyone and in my opinion brought everyone together. But those who want to be offended take pieces out of context of the whole and of course can find sections to provoke and enrage. It wouldn’t be comedy otherwise. But if you follow it til the end it becomes a loving message IMO
I thought the same thing.. it was unifying, honest and inclusive. That's how a lot of straight people speak or think, we just cant express it in our ball busting 'style' yet we have to respect everything said by anyone LGBTQ or middle class white women no matter how bizarre or different to how a straight person would be, speak or live.. but we have to be inclusive to all that and adhere to the rules set by these groups or we are teansphobic and xenophobic etc. Dave put it in a respectful way and in an honest way that the average straight person would react. Nobody can do anything right these days unless it's got the LGBTQ stamp of approval... maybe respect goes both ways?? Or is that a revolutionary idea?? I think not...
@@amberlyelizabeth1925 ok and guess what, there’s actually ppl who actually rape ppl so if you’re gonna bitch about dave then why don’t you report your perpetrator
@@amberlyelizabeth1925 making fun of rape and rape being a part of a joke in context are 2 very different things. I'm very sorry that you experienced such a horrible thing. The person responsible should be hanged. I have to respectfully disagree that he was joking about rape though, in context his joke in no way made fun of rape, nobody thinks rape is funny. Please try and see the whole context around his jokes and his real intent if you are going to criticize him because he does in no way make light of rape or joke ABOUT it in a way that's making fun of rape. Context is everything.
Dave Chapelle is leading the charge against hypersensitivity, he has my 100% support as someone who is compassionate, and well thought on the subjects our society faces. Joe & Michael made great points here about how media consumption is being funneled so you as the viewer are limited to opinion based content.
i dont think thats really true. I dont even think he is a well thought person. He just parrots marxism. Norm Macdonald was better, smarter and the last comedian who thought critically.
I watched the entire special. I did not feel any hate coming from Dave. I actually thought his closing comments "no more specials until we're all laughing together" was heart felt.
@@YouScareMe1 No, that’s a red herring argument. Once people and authorities start policing other people’s feelings thoughts and opinions you no longer have a free society.
@@benjamin3290 Never said anything about policing thought or opinions. The man obviously has a problem with people criticizing others if they hate minorities.
Joe says I was getting to that and this dude..sorry. lmao I can't stand this dude. He thinks he is smart but knows nothing about real history. I have listened to him a a few times and amazed by how stupid he is. He is one of the few people I really do hate on CZcams
I am astounded by the people who think so highly of their own self worth, that they believe their feelings should dictate what other people can and can't joke about. Either everything is ok, or nothing is.
When Chapelle said "Cause it takes one to know one" I almost cried, everything he said had a meaning and a purpose. What an amazing special it is and what a Genius Chapelle is.
I truly agree with you. And man that quote of that she was going to open for who many people say is the Goat man. I clapped like hell yeah. Amazing how some didn't understand how her death effected him because he lost a friend not a transgender person...
I love how black people who start these revolutionary movements. In 50 years, he’ll be in our history class “ Chappell fought for our freedom of speech by not getting off the stage”
Couldn't agree more, the last 15 minutes truly was incredible, I was thinking about it for days after I watched it. It made me feel more understanding and accepting towards the transgender community, not the other way around. The fact that, that message got lost in translation is just sad
@@honestal2684 Exactly he just wants people to agree with him and tell him he's right. All the while he calls himself the GOAT while there are people like Pryor and Carlin. Chappelle needs to chill and write a joke or two or his next special is gonna be a tedtalk.
Comedians are so important in our society. You don't have to agree with their views but I'm here to tell you that anyone who makes me laugh, has a place in my heart. Whomever it is, will always stay within my memory❤
It was such a good special. Anyone who is outraged didn’t really listen to what he was saying. He is such a compassionate accepting person and takes his performances beyond comedy and makes them almost like lessons.
@@dudeimgeorge I disagree. I think that he used his platform to represent a cultural message that he stands for all while still making jokes. It goes to show that people like him can have a meaningful conversation while still being light hearted and funny. It emphasized him being the goat.
I laughed a lot and got emotional with the whole story he shared, I actually gained more sympathy and respect towards trans people. It's bafflig to me people see the special as "spreding hate".
What Chapelle did is skewer the self-righteous, holier-than-thou, oppressor vs oppressed narrative pushed by far left activists dominating the narrative within the gay and transgender movement. They don't like having the mirror held up to them (because sometimes the emperor is wearing no clothes), so they want to execute the court jester. They are the latest version of the censorious, controlling "church ladies".
It makes more sense when you realize that people actually *enjoy* being offended, and will go out of their way to find reasons for it -- no matter how trivial or ridiculous.
The irony is the Twitter 'trans activists' are the ones spreading hate by associating trans people with their whiny, poisonous, self-obsessed behavior.
He's the GOAT, people getting canceled left and right so Dave goes out and puts himself in the firing line for two specials. Not only does any effort to cancel him fail, the man wins the dam mark twain award.A Year later he releases his last Netflix special, he informs the audience that it will be his last one for a minute and explains why. And closes by canceling himself until all the nonsense is over. 100% GOAT
Man, for me this last special was some kind of half-ass apologize / explanation sprinkled with statements that are not there for sake of comedy, but to prove that he's not afraid of saying nothing. I actually think that comedians should joke about all sorts of things and say outrageous things for comedy. But this special didn't hit me as comedy. It seemed like an explanation.
I agree with what he said about bros being bros...every were I have ever worked at or experienced in a new way ...the boys allways busting each other's chops lol
I really appreciate Joe Rogans take on this . It’s the best one I’ve heard. Dave Chappele is my favorite comedian, and if people really listened to his show, it was a tribute to his friend Daphne, and not only that, was a defense of trans rights. His plea to the community was not to be so cruel and vitriolic in their judgement of others. He’s funny. That bit about, “why do these bitches think I hate women” 🤣 had me rolling laughing as a woman. The joke was embedded and the delivery was on point. He’s funny and loving - “empathy goes both ways “
It was extremely funny and I’m 100% sure Dave Chappelle isn’t transphobic or homophobic but it’s the fact that he continues to use those slurs. Thats what I think is throwing people off
It's because he exposed that community for being so vitriolic and actually bigoted that they drove one of their own to suicide. They hate when their hypocrisy is so easily exposed.
There isn't any outrage. Everyone at the special laughed. There's like 10 bloggers, and the few who want to own everyone are giving em platforms to blow it out of proportion. Outrage culture is a myth.
Watch it again. When the camera pans to the middle of the crowd there are two ladies with blue and pink hair that laughed at all the black jokes and white jokes, but went stone faced when the subject went to feminism and LGBT. Noticed them at the beginning of the show and felt bad that I automatically assumed they would act this way, but I was fucking right. They looked pissed off like they had been personally attacked the last third of the show
I feel like 99% of the country doesn’t feel offended by the special and they love it. That’s the real problem with giving news time to these 1% of people
.00001 % of the population doesn't like it.
Absolutely agree.
It takes a lot of pressure off everyone when you come to realise the news sells what is hot, not what is helpful. It is just a business and has leaned into ratings/$$$ more than morality.
this would only be true if the largest media conglomerate in the world, Fox News, was also against it. Which they are not. More people watch Fox News than anything else. So the claim that the pro-Chappelle people are being suppressed is wrong.
Definitely
The backlash is literally proving Dave’s point
Lol exactly. That’s the irony of it all. They’re playing right into his hand.

They know he's not hateful or bigoted. He never NOT ONCE implied anything but empathy for them in every single special. It's just that he said he's #teamterf and "listen to women", which they consider to be akin to violence. Saying men cannot be women is considered hate, according to them

Totally agree. I actually don't mind cancelling some hateful bigots for spewing their hate, but the only time dave is spewing hate is at the annual playa haters ball.
Only watched the special because of the controversy. Laughed so hard I cried for most of it. Went and watched his other Netflix special, equally funny. Thanks cancel culture for introducing me to stand up Chapelle.

I'm queer, wear women's clothes, had gender confusion my whole life and love Dave Chappelle. If you cannot laugh at yourself, you do not accept yourself. Your perception of me is not me, therefore how you perceive me is of no relevance to me.
Good for you! Completely agree.
@jacky duluoz so since you didn't laugh he ain't funny??? Your the 🤡🤡🤡 we talk about
@bobby macdermott First off, as one who has been shunned, tormented and abused, since I was nine(1969) for being gender fluid long before you were likely even a spark in your daddy's eye, I can say it is you who is the knucklehead. The abuse was most dominant when no one talked about people like me, families were ashamed of people like me and the med establishment considered us insane. That has all changed because people started talking about it for good or for bad. I know who I am, and knowing who I am I can laugh at myself. If you are so easily butthurt by what someone says, who you have no emotional connection with, then you have the problem and need some counselling.
@bobby macdermott For the record, you are the one spewing vitriol, coming here all butt hurt and angry over a comedian's jokes.
What central point? That you cannot differentiate between a comedian's jokes and reality.
@bobby macdermott Chappelle nor you are responsible for what someone else views and/or their ability to deal with it. If they cannot deal with it, it is their prerogative to not watch it, it is not their prerogative to shut Chappelle up.
How about I find what you are fomenting fostering to be totally offensive and call for your voice to be silenced? I do find it offensive, dangerous and tyrannical. But, I'd be a hypocrite if I told you to shut up, rather I will just not read your replies anymore.

"Your Boos Mean Nothing, I've Seen What Makes You Cheer"
Hahaha perfect quote for this
You want real inclusion? In the Closer, Mr. Chappelle manages to tell one of the most impactfully HUMANIZING stories regarding the struggle of the trans community I have ever seen on screen... and somehow an oblivious minority of fragile minded activists not only misses it, but I would argue their outrage over the special is actually inoculating the very audience it might have moved to a kinder perspective -- in effect causing further entrenchment of unfavorable stereotypes. In my mind, that is the real loss here. It worked as a powerfully humanizing story, not only because it was raw and unadorned, but because it was devoid of the usual propaganda. In a sense, to be ALSO included as a butt-of-the-joke is one of the truly egalitarian and redeeming features of good mature comedy, but that ONLY works if you invite everyone to the table and take turns giving them a good go over. Sometimes it seems protected classes and taboo perspectives are doing more to dehumanize groups of people than all the bigots combined. :(

@Big Dongle u live under a rock? U never saw Chappell show????whyyyyy
No comedian is going to attack Chappelle because they would probably get a lot of hate
In the show Dave talks about an exchange between himself and Daphne, in which he 'claims' that he doesn't understand transgenderism. Daphne replies "I don't need you to understand me. I only need you to believe me, that I'm having a human experience."
All the bullying and harassment that Daphne suffered in the days after she came to Dave's defence seeked to rob her of her humanity. They stripped of all other elements, whether it be parent, fledgling stand-up, etc.
All they seen or seemed to care about was that a transwoman spoke her mind, not the hive-mind and spoke from her heart, not from a poltical dogma.
That's the beauty of humans, we're all different.
They tried to paint her as a traitor to a community, the trans-community. As if one small part of her being meant that she would forever have to be a representative and a congruent part of that community.
So one comedian reaches out to another, one human being collaborates with another human being in trying to understand the human experience - what makes us laugh, cry, scared, joyous - in order to find common ground for all communities and they drove a human being to feel that their life was unliveable.
So the next time someone advocates for trans-acceptance and mentions the high number of trans-people who take their own lives, tell them that they themselves should take responsibility for that number being so high.
Dave is literally funniest man on earth and such a loving person. Anyone that takes his jokes personally obviously needs to do some soul searching 😜🤣.
Dave was calling out the movement for crucifying one of their own because she didn’t March in lockstep.
That’s why they’re so damn pissed! He held up a mirror and they didn’t like it.
This is a common occurrence, they never do.
Did you see the frowning “ham planets” in the audience of “The Closer”? They weren’t laughing at the end. That was hilarious.
Dave is The GOAT
No one even knows if it was trans people who caused Daphne to commit suicide. Dave didn't hold up a mirror. He invented a picture based on limited information. I mean, Dave didn't even know Daphne had a daughter till after she died. How much did he really know about her and her life?

It was almost the equivalent of "I have a black friend so I can't be racist". Daphne sounded like she had health problems besides being trans and he could have talked about that if he had dived into her story more. You can do that without touching on specifics the family may not want out there. It seemed like a story to make your average person feel good and guilt trip trans who attacked Daphne over him.

These various forms of social media have been a net negative for reality and western civilization. Too many people now think of other folks as stereotypical extremes (based solely on online troll encounters), too many ridiculous and unproductive people have a voice, and they have tried to use their petty power to bring society to its knees.
I am also getting a vibe from the "victims" that they are taking jokes as literal, more on a mocking way and bullying than just plain jokes. Could be ADHD at play here, many of the people affected by it struggle to make friends because they just don't get others. I have a cousin that has ADHD, he would take things literal all the time, struggles to set boundaries, lacks friends and at one point he identified as trans. At some point during the beginning of the year he started to smoke weed, developed schizophrenic symptoms, and eventually full blown psychosis. Weed is known to trigger schizophrenia on some people with other mental issues and I warned him about it since I also use it ( I research everything lol). Before he went into psychosis he was fully immersed in the Qanon conspiracies, full on 5G nanobots tinfoil hat and was even seeing shadow people. He stopped being trans after getting committed and given meds. He feels deeply ashamed of dressing like a woman and taking hormones, he doesn't understand anymore why he did it. I believe trans people really do feel like women, there is something going on in their brains that makes them different. There definitely are trans people that become happy living as women but other people struggle with life just as hard after transitioning. The jokes are not the issue, this is getting out of hand and people are ignoring facts because its easier to live in a lie than to face reality.
that's cold
It's actually really sad to consider that a lot of these people have never been close enough to someone to make or receive a hilarious and brutal joke. I grew up in a multicultural neighborhood and we were savages to each other- but our little gang fought for each other and had each other's back .

He didn't need to do those type of jokes, to build an act....
He did those jokes, to prove a point.
cloud? You mean those puffy things in the sky? I think Dave is not motivated by clouds you are right
I’m not defending people that are protesting Dave but there are plenty of racist and homophobic people who have a person or persons in their friend group who fit the description of what they hate for example “how could I be racist I have a black friend etc “
@@Pissoff56 Let's actually try answer that. How intolerant can one actually get if they can look past their racism to make friends with a black person?
@@robincray116 a lot of people simply tolerate a person because of what they can provide, I knew a guy in my company that was always cordial with me but he turned out to be a racist but because of my position or rank he hung around me, the same reason certain family’s would adopt a black child but still be racist towards them
@@robincray116
There's a documentary about a black musician, Daryl Davis, who has gone around the country attempting to befriend Klan members in order to try and bring then back to reality.
I remember one clip where one Klan member talks about his real and deep friendship with Davis...but he was still a Klan member.
They just use the "he's one of the good ones" trope. Another example, extremely misogynistic men still get married to some poor woman, right?
There's a reason "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" is a terrible way to dismiss accusations of racism.
Now whether this is true of Chappelle and Daphne is difficult to know. I read that one of her last Tweets sounded like an apology of sorts to her peers, and perhaps recognizing that she may have been mistaken about her role in the whole situation. But who knows what was going through her mind?
No, it’s not a problem with people, it’s only with certain people. For most of us, if we don’t enjoy something we’re watching or listening to, we simply turn the channel to something else. The people that’s complaining are the only ones that are hating. They want whatever it is that they don’t like, agree with, approve of, etc to be removed and done with. That sounds a lot like communism to me.
Really Lucy? Gee you're so enlightened for a clueless dolt.
@@LotteryWinner20012 you insulted her without making any point of your own. Sounds like a definition of a clueless dolt to me 😉
100% agree, at my job we usually say that you have to earn the respect to be made fun of. Only when we know you well enough do we taunt you and never with hate/negativity.
When I worked overnight valet on the Las Vegas strip, I picked Dave up from a nightclub in the hotel car (he called the hotel for a pickup). While on the car ride back, he was plastered, but he was one of the NICEST guys I have ever met. A genuinely happy dude. In the years since then, I’ve seen him whenever he stays at the hotel and of all the celebs that stay there, he’s one of the very few that will chill out up front, not use the back VIP entrance so no one sees him, and he’ll sit there talking to fans and taking pictures with them. I’ve never seen him say or do anything that made him seem “better” than anyone else. That’s a LOT more that I can say than some of the other celebs that I see.
AL JOSEN WAS A STANDUP DUDE TOO...
That's awesome bro. i met some celebs that were total jerks. what are some celebs that you met that were jerks? and what did they do?

@@jonathanmangum4347
SO BASICALLY IF DAVE WAS WHT HE'D HAVE ZERO CAREER...
Chappelle’s special was healing and unifying by how he landed it. He humanized everyone and in my opinion brought everyone together. But those who want to be offended take pieces out of context of the whole and of course can find sections to provoke and enrage. It wouldn’t be comedy otherwise. But if you follow it til the end it becomes a loving message IMO
So true man, that story at the end pulled at the heart strings, "I am a human having a human experience" too good
As a rape victim I don't find his "jokes" about rape healing
I thought the same thing.. it was unifying, honest and inclusive. That's how a lot of straight people speak or think, we just cant express it in our ball busting 'style' yet we have to respect everything said by anyone LGBTQ or middle class white women no matter how bizarre or different to how a straight person would be, speak or live.. but we have to be inclusive to all that and adhere to the rules set by these groups or we are teansphobic and xenophobic etc. Dave put it in a respectful way and in an honest way that the average straight person would react.
Nobody can do anything right these days unless it's got the LGBTQ stamp of approval... maybe respect goes both ways?? Or is that a revolutionary idea?? I think not...
@@amberlyelizabeth1925 ok and guess what, there’s actually ppl who actually rape ppl so if you’re gonna bitch about dave then why don’t you report your perpetrator
@@amberlyelizabeth1925 making fun of rape and rape being a part of a joke in context are 2 very different things. I'm very sorry that you experienced such a horrible thing. The person responsible should be hanged.
I have to respectfully disagree that he was joking about rape though, in context his joke in no way made fun of rape, nobody thinks rape is funny. Please try and see the whole context around his jokes and his real intent if you are going to criticize him because he does in no way make light of rape or joke ABOUT it in a way that's making fun of rape.
Context is everything.
Damn!! What he said at the end is something that needs to be talked about more. Very well put!
It’s very viscerally human and the heart of comedy. Being comfortable with differences, being tolerant and coexisting with others outside your “tribe”
Very well said, Joe. You are the man, my brother. ☮✌🏿
We're paying too much attention to what the 0.001% Twitter mob says. Walk away from the toxicity of social media.
Twitter is not a Real Place - Dave Chappelle
“Apparently they dragged me on Twitter... I don't give a fuck because Twitter's not a real place.”
- 🐐
In 20 years time it will be indistinguishable and you will have no freedoms.
Slightly melted Jeremy Renner is making some valid points here.
LMFAO
haha cant unsee it now
Yoooooo
Jeremy Render
Oh no
Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr are my favorites and they both are agitators and both infinitely funny.
Daves jokes are secondary to the REAL talking points let's get that straight...GOAT!!!
Dave Chapelle is leading the charge against hypersensitivity, he has my 100% support as someone who is compassionate, and well thought on the subjects our society faces. Joe & Michael made great points here about how media consumption is being funneled so you as the viewer are limited to opinion based content.
Chapelle backtracked on his support for Trump and he said he’s not making anymore LGBTQ jokes, because he couldn’t handle the criticism.
@@rusty1491 RIP Ronnie Tutt , 1100 concerts with Elvis , 1969-77
i dont think thats really true. I dont even think he is a well thought person. He just parrots marxism. Norm Macdonald was better, smarter and the last comedian who thought critically.
@@rusty1491 Im pretty sure he just doesnt want this to be every act he does in the future because people wont stfu and move on.
@@thythighhighnigh6fkn975 FYI It's okay to watch comedians who don't share every single one of your views.
I watched the entire special. I did not feel any hate coming from Dave. I actually thought his closing comments "no more specials until we're all laughing together" was heart felt.
Who cares if there was hate, hate is not a crime. Dave should be able to hate whoever he wants.
They literally believe the idea that men cannot be women is both hateful and violent. This is what the T ideology believes. Literally.
@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 That type of mentality is why Nazis and white supremacists still exist.
@@YouScareMe1 No, that’s a red herring argument. Once people and authorities start policing other people’s feelings thoughts and opinions you no longer have a free society.
@@benjamin3290 Never said anything about policing thought or opinions. The man obviously has a problem with people criticizing others if they hate minorities.
Everyone needs a friend that’d defend you like Joe does Chappelle.
That last line describes the military perfectly
Dave Chapelle is super smart. His comedy comes full circle and punches you in the gut. In a good way. He’s hilarious and genius in joke making.
Definitely a comedic genius! Rogan has talked about him quite a bit as being the same thing.

Chapelle points out our differences in an outrageous way, so that we will recognize our similarities in a meaningful way.
Everybody can’t take a punch lol
Joe says I was getting to that and this dude..sorry. lmao I can't stand this dude. He thinks he is smart but knows nothing about real history. I have listened to him a a few times and amazed by how stupid he is. He is one of the few people I really do hate on CZcams
I am astounded by the people who think so highly of their own self worth, that they believe their feelings should dictate what other people can and can't joke about. Either everything is ok, or nothing is.
Completely agree 100 💯!
This crazy going on is ridiculous people need to keep their feelings out of everything!
AMEN. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very well put. It cannot be BOTH ways.

You know what it’s called? Narcissism overdosing on more narcissism.
Being a blue collar we GET banter, its healthy, funny and a great ice breaker. There is another level of understanding and comfort lol.
1:33 I was... getting to that
Dave Chapelle already canceled himself before…he isn’t afraid of “cancel culture”
He waited for the right time to drop that bomb on y’all
This is really insightful.

When Chapelle said "Cause it takes one to know one" I almost cried, everything he said had a meaning and a purpose. What an amazing special it is and what a Genius Chapelle is.
Easy,
What’s the name of the special??
I truly agree with you. And man that quote of that she was going to open for who many people say is the Goat man. I clapped like hell yeah. Amazing how some didn't understand how her death effected him because he lost a friend not a transgender person...
I have lots of problems getting spotify to run the video off the free account.
I love how black people who start these revolutionary movements. In 50 years, he’ll be in our history class “ Chappell fought for our freedom of speech by not getting off the stage”
Wtf is this comment. This isn’t what black people do my guy

Wtf.... yeah nvm
Chapelle is a genius. The way he ended The Closer was brilliant. It’s a must watch!!
Couldn't agree more, the last 15 minutes truly was incredible, I was thinking about it for days after I watched it. It made me feel more understanding and accepting towards the transgender community, not the other way around. The fact that, that message got lost in translation is just sad

I got very bored I felt like he was complaining to much and told few jokes
@@honestal2684 Exactly he just wants people to agree with him and tell him he's right. All the while he calls himself the GOAT while there are people like Pryor and Carlin. Chappelle needs to chill and write a joke or two or his next special is gonna be a tedtalk.
@@MariosR38 when did Chappelle call himself the GOAT?
I like that Rogan just takes the time to slow things down.. How somethings aren't just obligations in today's world is scary..
Comedians are so important in our society. You don't have to agree with their views but I'm here to tell you that anyone who makes me laugh, has a place in my heart. Whomever it is, will always stay within my memory❤
It was such a good special. Anyone who is outraged didn’t really listen to what he was saying. He is such a compassionate accepting person and takes his performances beyond comedy and makes them almost like lessons.
Exactly when you really listen its all jokes not one bit malicious, and we know this from dave anyway.
It was not that funny. He did nothing wrong tho as well. But man that being his last standup for a while...sucked.
@@dudeimgeorge I disagree. I think that he used his platform to represent a cultural message that he stands for all while still making jokes. It goes to show that people like him can have a meaningful conversation while still being light hearted and funny. It emphasized him being the goat.
Hope he learns the lesson too
@@elfglow4557 what lesson
I laughed a lot and got emotional with the whole story he shared, I actually gained more sympathy and respect towards trans people. It's bafflig to me people see the special as "spreding hate".
I agree the moment when Dauphine said you don't need to understand me and yelled at him made me really think about it.
What Chapelle did is skewer the self-righteous, holier-than-thou, oppressor vs oppressed narrative pushed by far left activists dominating the narrative within the gay and transgender movement. They don't like having the mirror held up to them (because sometimes the emperor is wearing no clothes), so they want to execute the court jester. They are the latest version of the censorious, controlling "church ladies".
It makes more sense when you realize that people actually *enjoy* being offended, and will go out of their way to find reasons for it -- no matter how trivial or ridiculous.
it was a funny special
The irony is the Twitter 'trans activists' are the ones spreading hate by associating trans people with their whiny, poisonous, self-obsessed behavior.
Man I love you and Dave. Been watching old fear factor. Just cause it is on. But still good.
These are the days that we miss the genius of Greg Giraldo
Daphne was his opener.
Called the special the closer.
He dedicated an entire special to her, yet is being "cancelled"
Exactly! Dave is accused of being hateful but who were the ones who actually showed hate towards Daphne?
Dolphins rape people
@@merly2888 HELL YES!
Daphne and don't forget Norm :)
Don't forget he started a fund for Daphne's daughter...
He's the GOAT, people getting canceled left and right so Dave goes out and puts himself in the firing line for two specials. Not only does any effort to cancel him fail, the man wins the dam mark twain award.A Year later he releases his last Netflix special, he informs the audience that it will be his last one for a minute and explains why. And closes by canceling himself until all the nonsense is over. 100% GOAT
Dave cancels cancel culture, how GOAT is that???
Man, for me this last special was some kind of half-ass apologize / explanation sprinkled with statements that are not there for sake of comedy, but to prove that he's not afraid of saying nothing. I actually think that comedians should joke about all sorts of things and say outrageous things for comedy. But this special didn't hit me as comedy. It seemed like an explanation.
@@rafaelferes4362 his stand up comedy style are definitely different now. maybe hes ran out of materials, or hes getting washed up
I agree with what he said about bros being bros...every were I have ever worked at or experienced in a new way ...the boys allways busting each other's chops lol

I really appreciate Joe Rogans take on this . It’s the best one I’ve heard. Dave Chappele is my favorite comedian, and if people really listened to his show, it was a tribute to his friend Daphne, and not only that, was a defense of trans rights. His plea to the community was not to be so cruel and vitriolic in their judgement of others. He’s funny. That bit about, “why do these bitches think I hate women” 🤣 had me rolling laughing as a woman. The joke was embedded and the delivery was on point. He’s funny and loving - “empathy goes both ways “
It was extremely funny and I’m 100% sure Dave Chappelle isn’t transphobic or homophobic but it’s the fact that he continues to use those slurs. Thats what I think is throwing people off
It's because he exposed that community for being so vitriolic and actually bigoted that they drove one of their own to suicide. They hate when their hypocrisy is so easily exposed.
There isn't any outrage. Everyone at the special laughed. There's like 10 bloggers, and the few who want to own everyone are giving em platforms to blow it out of proportion. Outrage culture is a myth.
Nah it's real. Chappelle is black and he can get away with more
Watch it again. When the camera pans to the middle of the crowd there are two ladies with blue and pink hair that laughed at all the black jokes and white jokes, but went stone faced when the subject went to feminism and LGBT. Noticed them at the beginning of the show and felt bad that I automatically assumed they would act this way, but I was fucking right. They looked pissed off like they had been personally attacked the last third of the show
@@Sinsofcarolina I saw that too! Who cares? I say If you don’t like Dave leave him for the people like us who do! Simple
Outrage culture is a myth that exists in the fake place called Twitter
Ah you didn't notice two big women in the front row
Dave is a true artist and social architect
need alternative location if everywhere has canceled his movies let screen it and other movies elsewhere
