Fr? That’s dope and well deserved. God bless everyone @RRomaynebro

No.

Is this true?

@@kellietaylor9913 Yeah, it's true. They worked a deal out.

Shame he took it back.

So you're saying he's such a great comedian that he doesn't even have to tell jokes anymore? 😂 Believe me...some of us have noticed. His specials are definitely not half as funny as the Chapelle Show, and that's being generous.

True the best comedians can talk about something serious or intellectual and it’s just funny because they’re funny. Patrice O’Neal is a great example too. He could be breaking down male and female psychology and have everyone in stitches

RIP Trevor Moore

Yes he is

@@dylanherron3963 I believe Chris's criticism comes from love of Dave's old stuff, when he was actually funny. A lot of us feel that way

💯

You said it. Truly masterful storytelling.

Yup yup. I’ve watched this a couple times over the few years, and I just sit here and hang on to ever word his says. Goat 🐐

He had me in the palm of his hand through a video

They were desperately waiting for a fucking joke that never came. Dave is a has been.

His natural ease in dialogue is unatched.

Well structured essay, good intro, it flowed, good transitions. This was well done

they're kinda the same thing except for comedy is a subset of storytelling. I say it's a subset because not every story is comedy, but every comedian who isn't a good storyteller isn't a good comedian.

She indeed is 🤍

That's awesome

I met Dave outside of his hotel in Indianapolis right after he started performing again I was like 15 maybe 16 and I loved His work lol first thing he told me when he walked up was don’t do drugs kid. 😂because I was freaking out that I was meeting dave Chappelle and it was just gold he gave me and a bunch of other people autographs and I got a picture with him too

That's awesome, and he's right about your sister!

Did u think he was acting this whole time

respect. real shit

they were laughing the whole time whilst he was trying be serious. it was annoying af

They were laughing from anxiety because it's real, and ancient: innocent, decent person gets screwed. That explains their laughter and their silence. Laughing because it exposes a truth that causes anxiety; silence in the face of a shame that transcends a name.

@@steponikchad9859 they were also just clueless to where he was leading them. Like the people trying to clap for HBO.

A lot of people were just clapping where they're not supposed to, it's so cringeworthy. I guess it's because they were probably drunk and wanted entertainment, like poking a monkey and saying do something.

My attention span is generally short, but l wasn't even taxed whilst watching this! 😊

He reminds me of Robin Williams 😢😢😢, just kept you hanging on every word

Loved this assessment of Dave Chapelle.

He is truly amazing. Realest 🥷 alive.

I think those ppl there were brain dead honestly. They would start clapping and cheering when Dave was being serious talking about how he got fucked over bc it was in the contract. Even before that you had a handful of ppl slow clapping confused if they should clap or not

He's just a copy of Richard Pryor, the real goat

@@chedibumba2163 there's always one of you idiots claiming that same shit just because you foam at the mouth for another person.

I like his jokes better than his stories.

Yeah, people have really a bleeding heart for a poor superstar being screwed out of his third yacht because of fine print.

agree.

Something about the way he tells stories is so captivating. The audience clings on to every word he speaks.

He’s lived a lot of life

Agreed

This isn't the real Chappelle and anybody who thinks it is isn't a lifetime Chappelle fan. This imposter isn't funny at all. The real Dave was 1000x funnier then this cløne.

They get their legal practice from the same institution there's no way they aren't working together. It's all a hoax.

Im sorry. It's real. My attorney married my husbands attorney months and thousands of dollars into our divorce...sleeping with the enemy.

Thats the truth. Real messages behind it.

Joey diaz is a good storyteller too

@@nativaconcepcion3991 lol- same here... comedy gold!! 😅😅😅

There have been a few. Bette Davis is one, maybe the first. The giant she went against was Warner Brothers, during the era when the studios ruled the lives of their contracted actors.

I wouldn't see it as "killing" him. Keeping a person alive and forcing them into a new line of work could be a net gain for that person, especially when "the man's livelihood" is simply scamming people. That being said, I think that "scam" can be applied much more broadly than it currently is.

He's voice is like a better Morgan Freeman. Listen close

It's from chain smoking cigarettes...lol Listen to his earlier stuff...

And that’s why people want to silence him

@goggles789 that’s why I said “want to”

This same monster that Dave is talking about is the one that HATES Donald Trump, because they can't control him.

they hate how it fucks is a bit of a harrasment to a woman thats been f_cked without her wanting it.

and it's the truth which makes it hit even harder

Dave was saying something without having to spell it out. The monster is the industry which is the global elite or “Illuminati” who control all celebrities. They do anything to keep their “artists” in check and that’s evident with what happened to Chappelle. The minute he had enough and took a stand, they started their typical smear campaign and made up stuff to try to put their puppet back on the string. Chappelle should be applauded for taking a stand against this evil system although him continuing to speak on it makes me worry for his safety. Any past people who have spoken out so openly were either jailed or killed.

And not a word about who the real monster is. Kinda pathetic.

Well you can’t be one without being the other

Talk to George Carlin he’s rolling in his grave that Dave’s jokes are vein, self obsessed and race based

Sarcasm

More often than not comedians are more like philosophers nowadays. They’re only funny cause reality today is stranger than fiction. No better funny material than the truth

@@joebrowser775 it seems to be the case actually you shifted my perspective

The realest

@@kevin1seven923 no doubt

he came a long way doing that cumshot on the bus joke...

Him AND Carlin

Chappelle is amusing but he just isn't that funny. Louis CK is funnier and Carlin was better at lecturing. Chapelle is a good mix of the two (because, by God, Carlin just was not funny at all, and Louis CK doesn't preach), which makes him amusing.

Wow you're beautiful

@@nathangebreselassie8515 I promise you nobody gets bored listening to Dave Chappelle.

John Harris, you are absolutely correct about Dave's life adventures and how he reaches people through telling his stories and jokes through comedy. He's literally in the top 3 who's comedy and jokes actually makes me laugh HILARIOUSLY.

Totally agree. Carlin was always a hero to me, still is, and so is Dave Chappelle. Chappelle's magic is that he can make you feel sad, introspective, provoke your thoughts and be incredibly funny all in one act.

I for one find him very intelligent And funny.

The man is very intelligent. No wonder he’s so successful in his career. He was born to do this ❤❤❤

Every person should granted that type of understanding. His strength can be seen as an inspiration and so can others still under the same situation and have a smaller Mic to air their story.

I agree 100%. It's fortunate that he signed with Netflix, but he was going to succeed no matter what.

@@LastBruhStanding that was a good ass play by netflix tbh "Yo if we take this down im pretty sure we get dave chappelle

He has a way of making you forget that it’s a comedy show so that when a joke lands the value is increased by the sincerity. George Carlin was also able to pull that off. Not many can.

word!

Greatest comeback ever! I knew it was a lie when I heard that craziness. Glad to see that Dave is back! 😉🎉🚀🚀🚀

Then they got their guard dog Oprah to interview him and she asked him loaded questions that she knew he couldn't answer out of contractual obligations.

@HolyHammerOfByzantium Id like to normally think I wouldnt fall for this shit but it was hard not too at the time when he just vanished and they were allowed to set the narrative. It's fucked up, if Dave ever comes out, ill stump up for a show to see the dude.

Yeah that was CRAZY

The last laugh was on them.

Thanks for that beautiful comment

This is old, you can watch the show now, he got paid: “When you stopped watching it, they called me,” Chappelle, 47, said in the clip. “And I got my name back, and I got my license back, and I got my show back, and they paid me millions of dollars. Thank you very much.”

Yup, f the Chapelle Show.

I guess Comedy Central finally paid Dave. Well Great, cause the execs at Comedy Central were going to get %

Yeah, what Nina said. No reason to boycott now that Dave won the battle.

@@kernelxsanders And he did it by using his head, not stooping like them and using lies

@@sebastiencote503 Umm.. you still paid Comedy central for which he didn't his royalty.

Just saw Redemption Song. Happy times are here again, Duke! ;D

I'll watch it

Why would you not watch it? You think Chappelle is going to give you some of that money?!

He's just mesmerizing

His material is relatable and well thought out. It's not comedy anymore - it's storytelling at a doctorate level. That's what makes it so hard to replicate.

Man I agree, it kinda makes me sad how dumb the people are in this video, it's like they didn't even realize that he's putting his heart out there,especially when they were cheering at the part when he expressed that he couldn't even use his name, because it is the contract. People are so dumb.... Dave's an absolute legend
