The Stand-up Comedian Thread

[The Argonaut]

Thanks for having the wife and me to your dinner party.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm watching the first one right now. I've enjoyed Chappelle's stuff in the past but this is doing nothing for me. 27 minutes in and I haven't really laughed once

[Jorge]

His impression of his wife's friend Stewart is kind of funny

Thanks for having the wife and me to your dinner party.

[Jorge]

This is boring as fuck

[Jorge]

He just did the whole "literalistically deconstruct an old piece of pop culture absurdity" thing. About the Care Bears. When did he become so hacky? Does it happen automatically when you turn 40?

[Jorge]

Okay the 70s political assasinations into Bill Cosby segue got me

[The Argonaut]

The second hour is definitely better than the first. cool. That was fun.

[Jorge]

The one I just watched ended on a high note but there was a long period of ... just, nothing. Really boring jokes.

[The Argonaut]

I can see how one could feel that way if they did not already have a deep and abiding love for Dave Chappelle buried in the most sacred parts of their soul.

Just finished this and felt the same way.

[Norah]

yeah I don't think it's that since Killing Them Softly is one of my all time favorite stand up specials too

It's not the style I have a problem with, it's just many of his jokes in this weren't very good, especially in the first half

[doug rr]

I believe the new Louis CK special drops on Netflix today.

[The Argonaut]

That was the best Louis stand-up special in a few years.

[LoathedVermin72]

This Chappelle special sucks.
