Just because I didn't find it offensive doesn't mean other people can't overreact.

There were some good lines for sure, no denying that. The majority of the special rested on attempts at being offensive without much of a joke behind them, which just winds up being boring imo.

Ok, how did you feel about the OJ special?

Name a special that is more provocative in 2019 on Netflix.

He did a sketch on Chappelle defending Michael Jackson that was in the same brand of humor. His humor hasn't really changed. You have.

I wasn't even aware that he was doing standup, I'll look into it.

Idk, I haven't watched many. You were offended by the new Chappelle special?

Same brand of humour=/=same quality of humour.

It's not any criticism. It's your specific criticism seems that way. Like saying that he's just trying to be offensive is the same criticism Chappelle show got. So where's the disconnect? I could understand if it is just not your style of comedy, but if it is and the minute he starts staying things that go against your politics it's suddenly not funny... Yeah I'm thinking it got spoiled by your PC filter.

You don't seem like much of a comedy fan. I might be wasting my time.

but point taken that timing does matter to a degree, the bit is stale at this point, evolve your act

No his act is extremely important right now. Because people want to destroy that brand of humor. You're not supposed to punch down. That's why Dave was so in your face about it this time cause last time he got some flack for very mild tranny jokes. So this was a guy with f*ck-you money saying let me joke about whatever I want to joke about.

Nah you're definitely on some reactionary ad hominem strawman business. Stanhope has a similar brand of humour that he backs up with genuinely funny jokes. I think your ability to interpret criticism on this subject has been spoiled by your anti-PC filter.

There's absolutely no shortage of this but sure, his mediocre special is important.

I only watched about 40 minutes because I was underwhelmed, is the last 20 minutes some God tier that I missed out on?
