Watched the Dave Chappelle specials earlier. They were quite funny. I think he had some good things to say but some of it just wasn't that hilarious. The first one was probably the best of the two. I wish he made fewer jokes about race personally because he has a lot more to contribute, and his race jokes were kinda hit and miss compared to other stuff he has done.

As for Bill Burr, I'll probably check it out tomorrow. I've heard some bad things about it but also some positives (on this thread). The criticism stems from him apparently losing his edge. I've not watched it yet, but I hope that's not the case.

It's definitely a step down, but enjoyable nonetheless.

He should have made a special just recycling all his jokes from the Joe Rogan election night coverage.

Yeah I'll judge for myself. But after listening to a few of the podcasts he has done with his wife, I can a reason why he may have toned it down a little. She's a little bit nutty when it comes to the topics he does best (feminism and race relations).

no way, the second was way better imo.

as far as bill burr goes, yeah his newest special wasn't all that impressive. i think he's made a great transition into the podcast world and writing for his show, so even if he's momentarily lost a bit on his stand-up, he's making up for it in other fields. not to mention he was on one hell of a roll prior to that, can't keep it going that strong forever.

The Bill Burr special was alright. Started off badly for me by calling Trump a racist about 10 times. But that's alright, kind of come to expect it. The Hitler/Stalin bit was great, and his fat shaming part was good. But I think the rest was kinda tame.

I can honestly say that when I watched the special, I didn't laugh a single time. I thought that was weird, but then other people said the same thing.

Donald Trump is pretty funny. Look at that ridiculous man, thinking he's the president of anything other than sporting bad toupees.

I ditto the sentiments regarding Bill Burr's special. I felt like I was missing someone. The audience was dying and I'm like what?

Joe Rogan can really be pretty bad sometimes but his recent special on Netflix is killer. He does a skit towards the end how it was the coven of Kardashian women that drove Bruce to become a women. It's hilarious and he uses some great physical comedy at times.

i liked the special but that bit was by far my least favourite part.
