You literally have to be a contrarian dickhead in any thread about movies or TV it seems.Sorry, am I offending people in a thread jerking off a comedian for his critique of offence culture and his refusal to be censored?
How silly of me not to recognize this as a safe space.
You'll get over it, sweetheart. I pointed out that Chapelle is recycling the same jokes he's been doing for 20 years. And other parts of the special were just dedicated to responding to controversies from his last special. He's drumming up these controversies in a cynical (and very successful) attempt to get headlines, but the worse part is he's too lazy to even bother drumming up new ones. Just because this unpleasant truth causes your brain to go into cognitive dissonance mode, doesn't mean it isn't true.You literally have to be a contrarian dickhead in any thread about movies or TV it seems.

It's just a blatant cash grab from morons who can't see through it. If you want to be one of those morons, be my guest. But I'm actually trying to help the idiots of the world by pointing out when they're getting scammed. But of course, it's easier to scam people than convince them that they've been scammed.
I dont know. What does that picture meanDoes this sum it up, or nah?
You clearly didn't watch the special. And this "lazy" line is literally plucked from an op-ed by Ernest Owens 2 years ago that has been endlessly trotted out as the default adjective to describe Dave among a certain segment of the blogosphere and twitterati.You'll get over it, sweetheart.

I thought this special was a masterpiece, maybe one of the best I've ever seen, and the material was very finely tuned, even when he mixed in improv. There were a couple misses, but it was pretty clear that this was painstakingly crafted and workshopped in clubs over time. Dave works in a frame that can sound the same, but really never is. I can understand not liking it because it was calibrated to polarize, but to call it lazy or recycled is an insult to the craft.
I couldn’t get into it I blame communism and da juiceYou clearly didn't watch the special.

Understandable.I couldn’t get into it I blame communism and da juice
I quit drinking and my best friend passed onUnderstandable.
Sorry for your loss man.I quit drinking and my best friend passed on
I was hoping it would cheer me up but it didnt
Haha. I've never heard of some cunt called Ernest Owens nor have I ever read anything criticizing Dave that wasn't some shrill nonsense about him being offensive. Almost everything I've ever read about him has been gagging on his nuts. If more than one person is calling his material lazy, it's because that's exactly what it is.You clearly didn't watch the special.

You should watch the whole special, not the clips. The thing about it is it's meant to be consumed as a whole piece. I'd say this material was in a similar frame as Dave has used before, and all comics have their frame, but the cadence, the timing, and even the content were a pretty substantial departure from what he's done in the past. This one is miles apart even from the last two, the first of which, Equanimity, I think falls into your description of feeling played out and recycled.Haha.

How the fuck else would you describe doing the same joke in your stand up and your TV shows for 20 years? If this was a comedian you didn't like trying to pull that shit, you'd be right there with me calling it out and the non-delusional part of your brain knows it.
I should be pre-disposed to being a Chappelle nuthugger myself. I loved his early stand up, Chappelle Show, hell even Half-Baked and most non-stoners shit on that film. But it doesn't matter how much I like someone, if they start serving me shit sandwiches I don't just eat them and ask for seconds.
I’ll have to give it another trySorry for your loss man.
Nah, when I want that, I watch Trudeau.I’ll have to give it another try
I only watched 15 minutes
Is it about how gr8 Marx is? Is dat y you love it?
If you can't see that literally making the same jokes and talking about the exact same topics special after special isn't lazy, then it's beyond hopeless to convince you otherwise. It's the definition of lazy. You're right about the the shows being carefully calibrated but not in the way you think. He's worked out how to generate headlines on the same topics.You should watch the whole special, not the clips. The thing about it is it's meant to be consumed as a whole piece.

Owens was the first to apply the word "lazy," which, the way he used it, is a writerly term that refers to the way people take shortcuts in descriptions or character development. It was a way to critique the preparation rather than the performance. Once he said it, others started using it, even though using it in this context is practically something you'd only hear someone say in an MFA program. It contaminated the blogs and Twitter and now it's become the lazy way of critiquing Chappelle.
