Netflix Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer

I can give a belly aching laugh at Deon Cole comedy, his last special was phenomenal, or Chapelle. I laughed loud as hell when he did the "Everybody Hates Chris" ending. Comedy can make a point but it still needs to be funny. I think the issue some have with not only Chappelle is that comics were typically seen as giving their pov on the world in a comedic way and the past few years have seen that transform into "I'm just gonna bitch and moan about shit I don't like"...and that's rarely funny.
I laughed a lot harder at this special the second time when I was watching it with other people
That kinda thing makes a big difference with comedy too

I do think it's also interesting that people will somehow listen to the complaints of comedians that don't make sense or actually match up with that comic's reality yet reject those same complaints from other people as being overblown or not even real.
For me it's a yes. It's a comedy show. You supposed to be laughing throughout IMO
I've seen some specials from comedians go political or just start talking and not making a joke. IMO you watching it to laugh
Nah it doesnt i dont have an uproar reaction to think the shit was funny i had a couple of moments in the special
We spend way too much time comparing and contrasting people work..
And comparing and contrasting reactions to said art
Wow. Submersible joke was funny af to me. i lol
This shit was funny as hell man
If I left it up to social media or even some of the reviews here you'd think this nigga fell off or he was a crazed bigot.
Dave just being The GOAT
Solid special I think I enjoyed this better than the last one. Like someone already in here mentioned its more light hearted than some of his previous joints

This is exactly how I felt. Even before the LGBTQA backlash I thought Chappelle was drifting too much towards preaching rather than telling jokes. It's hard to believe he wrote most of the material in the Dreamer and wasn't just venting on stage. It felt more like those impromptu sets he does where just talks.
I don't even mind the venting per say. Just make it funny. I'm beyond tired of comics getting on stage in front of hundreds/thousands of people to complain about how "Nobody can do comedy anymore." Clearly the audience and millions Netflix pays for these specials feels differently. So just tell the jokes.
It was about an hour long...
2/3rds of what I watched was him actually telling jokes cos I know I chuckled and laughed at them and the audience as well... The remaining third was him with old tales which I don't/didn't mind...
Show was tight IMO ...

What made it so funny was it reminds me of something you would here in a cartooon especially how he said it
Especially when he circled back to it and was telling his wife naw this is how you say it lol
Well, to be fair, he did warn us that it was wack.
Yeah i think the build up threw me off, made me expect something way funnier.
lol Nah, I knew it was gonna be wack. Dave is funny, but he's always had a little of that corny white boy humor in him too. Every now and then he lets it out. He can't help it.
