Dave Chappelle

[ScarySpikes]

So what's it's going to take to have a motion picture armorer's group to codify universal procedures, standardize equipment, set procedure, and consumables (dummy bullets specifically)?

I can see this from an work-safety angle, and all relevant cast and crew may need to be briefed on firearm safety in pre production ect.

I don't think much will change, considering all the movies with guns, number of rounds/blanks shots, within the last 50yrs, 2 dead people is exceedingly small.

I think you are in the wrong thread here.... but a lot of those codes already exist, it's more about forcing production companies to follow them and not cut corners.

So what you are saying is, for all the belly aching about being cancelled, Dave Chappelle has done more than anyone else to get Dave Chappelle's content removed from Netflix.

Little more context and full story would be nice.

That lol. Apples to Oranges comparison.

I believe it's referring to when he didn't like that they were streaming Chappelle Show w/out renegotiating his contract for it. If I recall correctly there was some little clause about it that they glossed over, he asked his fans to boycott it, they did, Netflix pulled it after a mass boycott. I don't remember if they renegotiated and he ended up getting paid or not but they appear to have made amends and moved on with business.

There's a big difference between a creator pulling old work for contract negotiations vs new work being shouted down and uninvited. Can't really say he's not being cancelled if he's actively getting uninvited from shows / showings and such where his work would presumably be screened and put into money making mode.

Oh so we ARE supposed to be fact checking jokes for proper context, etc.

If that post is before was really about his conflict with Netflix over Chappelle's Show, yeah, not even close to remotely the same thing we're talking about in this thread.

Also, he's not being cancelled. He made his choice and if certain venues are choosing not to book him, that's just consequences of choice. If that's what's happening. Comedians deal with this all the time over things they do or say. Lot of comedians have venues they can't/don't go to anymore. Rogan was banned from the Comedy Store in LA for quite awhile. That wasn't him being cancelled.

This term cancelling and cancel culture is way over used. "Cancel culture" has existed as long as humans have existed.

I didn't see a joke in your post.

It made me laugh.

Surprised there isn’t more discussion about the two “space Jews” jokes he made. That struck me as the edgiest thing he said.

TBH, those jokes kinda went over my head. Can you elaborate on why you think they're so edgy?

Or the "I watched a whole lot of Black on Asian crime videos while quarantined. That was what was happening inside my body when I had Covid" or something similar.

there's also the tension between everyone thinking Adolph Hitler is the worst person who ever lived, meanwhile a lot of other folks wonder "Have you heard of King Leopold?"

Wasnt he basically associating Israeli aggression with Judaism and suggesting people are being persecuted at the hands of the Jews. Calling out the humanitarian issue with the conflict and pointing the finger at the Jews.

In “Space Jews” the earthlings left earth, lived somewhere else, then came back and took over earth in a forceful manner.

Or the "I watched a whole lot of Black on Asian crime videos while quarantined. That was what was happening inside my body when I had Covid" or something similar.

I thought that was moderately funny…immediately thought of king fu etc though and how it would actually be a good fight. Definitely not a PC joke…

I thought they were sort of funny and the kind of jokes one would expect from Chapelle to be honest.

Overall the whole set was only "ok" but the audience seemed to like it more than I did overall.

The only reason I watched it at all was to see what the massive controversy was about and came away feeling like he got the exact reaction he was expecting when he pushed the LGBTQ+ "buttons."

 

[DefyInertia]

I came away feeling like he was trying to make peace while at the same time trying to be understood and take a hard line on the black struggle.

Audience will laugh at damn near everything in these specials. They expect everything to be funny for the price they paid to be there so even if a joke misses its mark, you still get courtesy laughs. You could watch a show on Netflix that absolutely sucks but it'll still get laughs for jokes delivered.

That's why I like actual comedy clubs. You still get courtesy laughs but if a joke falls flat, you might hear crickets.

Said it probably at least 3 times in this thread but that's why I recommend people that watch a bunch of stand up on Netflix or TV go to real comedy clubs if they haven't or just more often. It's just a different experience, not because it's live, the sets are different. You don't get the amount of random crowd work watching Netflix specials. Last time I went to a club down here in OC, the guy was like "We got any black people in the house?" (Because there's like 5 of us in all of south OC), raised my hand, and he says "No, I meant real black people. Not you, Carlton Banks." Probably one of the biggest laughs of the whole set.

I gave this crowd some serious side-eye when he was talking about his story of "Clifford". When he said "when the cops show up, they SHOOT HIM"

*laughter*

Like seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK.

True enough on the laughs on even bad jokes on specials and the value of live performances that are not filmed.

I had to look up who Carlton Banks was, he looks a lot more preppy than the pics I've seen of you on BARF though.

That joke is funny though.

I liked the Clifford bit. But he took awhile setting it up and there was a lot of laughs at parts of the set up to get to the punchline that people were laughing at. I'm thinking just wait for the funny part but that's normal for these things.

Its one of my favorite bits from the show and what could have been one of the most impactful, but he decided to tell other jokes that would steal its thunder in the public reaction, which is unfortunate.

but that laugh at the non-joke was super fucking weird. it wasn't even an awkward chuckle murmur, it was a full audience roar.

direct hit on the state of israel and zionist jews who came back to their "rightful nation" where they inflict their own crimes against humanity against an already existing population.... after suffering war and humanitarian crimes in the EU up through ww2.
