The cycle goes like this: First, the up and coming comedian gains renown for his clever and perceptive jokes about the rich and powerful, and the idiosyncrasies of the public. Then as he becomes rich and famous he starts smoking $75 cigars. Finally, he loses all contact with the public at large and identifies himself as part of the wealthy and detached group that he used to make fun of. His jokes become mean spirited, because he has become mean-spirited as his ego replaces his good sense. Finally, he blames his declining popularity on the public who have become too woke to get his "jokes".
It would appear that Dave Chappelle is no better educated than old white, Southern Republican lawmakers when it comes to knowing anything about women's reproduction and anatomy.
And his choice of wording rivals their misogyny: for instance, about one in three births in the U.S. are via c-section, hence no having "to pass through the legs of a woman."
And, even, if like these old white relics playing 'obgyn,' Chappelle believes birth begins shortly after a sperm starts its mission in the vagina (again, "through the legs"), a significant number of births occur without any sperm journey: in vitro fertilization has vastly reduced men's already side character role in pregnancy.
One can only conclude that Chappelle is another transphobic bigot masquerading as an expert and not-funny bully. Let's not forget the true comic's mission is to punch himself or punch up. Punching down just makes you a bully.
A comedian becomes irrelevant when he forgets the lines you never cross. There are NO funny jokes about rape or molestation or racism or murder or marginalizing people. I mean perhaps there are but it’s not the victims you want to laugh at. Hell you can’t even laugh about the perpetrators. Those jokes simply “do not write themselves”.
Well, yes, Mr. Chappelle, if you lie down with bigots, suddenly they (and other people) stop thinking your "Black KKK leader" skit was a joke and that you are one of them.
No qualifiers needed, Chapelle’s ego is bigger than his intelligence. See also, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, the entire Trump administration and I could go on, given the number of stupid egoists who now run our country.
I was sad to hear Chappelle's bigoted jokes several years ago. Stopped watching him then and never looked back. Life is too short to give money to bigots.
Ahhhh the lament of Schrödinger's Comedian. Because if you complain he really was just joking and you're the problem. What happened, were the leopards about to eat his face too?
And Diarrhea Slider Barbie in the picture there is sure shining in her audacity. Given the makeup of the audience when she was breastily bopping her beau's bologna during Beetlejuice...well, she came THIS close to being on the Ultimate Bad List.
"Anti-trans bigots like to conjure up the image of the imposing, muscular man in a dress “posing as a woman” so he can freely abuse women. That seems like an awful lot of work when he could just run for Congress."
Chappelle admits to punching down. That kind of joke is rarely funny, and usually not accurate because they reflect the "comic's" biases rather than what it is true about the marginalized groups that they are targeting. The best jokes punch up and accurately reflect what is true about those in power, or the comic pokes fun at his or her own self.
Oh, NOW I get it. I didn't click through the Macbeth link, so I was puzzled. "Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped" is the line I think...

Funny how that works.

The moral of the story: You can take the dad out of Ohio, but you can't take the Ohio out of the dad. I can say that, my father was born in Canton.

Now THAT'S a joke!

My three C-section kids would be surprised to learn that.

My grandson Knox would also be surprised to learn that.
Yep.
God forbid someone take his words in context, LOL
