Chappelle isn’t as funny as he used to be, but I think the point of this special was to call out the cancel culture, which he did right off the bat.
After knocking the audience for being the kind of people who dredge up something someone said or did years and years ago, just so they can cancel that person, he proceeded through an hour of saying the exact things that people are getting cancelled for. He was — by the standards of the woke scolds who own and operate pop culture today — racist, homophobic and sexist. He defended Louis CK and Michael Jackson. He said that if women get the final say on whether to abort a child, then men get the final say on whether they have to support that same child — “My money. My choice!”
He defended gun ownership. He mocked the scourge of opiate addiction — “Now white people know what black people went through during the crack epidemic.”
He basically said, “Here I am. Cancel me.”
It was uncomfortable to watch at times, and some of the jokes were a little weak, but it’s an excellent example of comedy that’s both funny and socially relevant.
BTW, grown men don’t sleep in beds with young boys who aren’t their sons.
