Dave has now transcended "comedy". He can get on stage with absolutely NO "comedic bits" and deliver pure entertainment on a level like no other. But in addition, he has become somewhat of an comedic activist, in the vein of George Carlin and Dick Gregory....telling stories and giving commentary on the way life is...and what is wrong with our world....and we can never "look away". Dave doesn't have to tell a single joke, and is innately captivating. This is a skill, rather a gift, unlike many we've seen in entertainment. He is carving out a path for himself that others will attempt to follow for the next 50 years.

theres never been a harder mic drop in the last 30 years. Dave doesnt deserve it, he literally earned it, through 3 generations of comedy and 5 generations of heroes.

[@TheGhostofMrArthurs]

agree to disagree, but I see it as a man who didnt value his worth that high initially, he wasnt an up and comer, he was 27 and had multiple sellout specials and some movies under his belt. He has went on to amass over 50mil in worth AFTER walking away from the 50mil that he was offered 15 years ago. No one knew what the world would be like in 2020 as far as access to entertainment. Dave wasnt saying shit when all those sets of his show were being sold. Fuck Dave, dave wants people to stop watching a show that wasnt ONLY his, just so he can get another 50mil. No, the rest of the cast and crew on that show worked just as hard as he did.

I don't think anyone understands that he left Chappelle show without getting paid! You know how much guts it takes to say no money can control me! I'm out!

[@TheSingularitarian]

It was never about control. It’s clear Comedy Central let him do whatever he wanted from the very beginning. He was under too much pressure to produce content at the level the network and, really, the world had come to expect. He was being called the funniest man ever and stuff like that, and CC wanted 12 episodes a year. If you go back to season 1, it’s legendary. But by season 2 they were having a hard time coming up with written content and it shows. The pressure to meet the high standard was too great and Dave split to Africa.

[@Die-CastMetal]

There’s a balance in our world between positive and negative that is inescapable. The key to mastering this balance is through our emotions. Beyond everything right or wrong, without control over our emotions will always lead to an incredible injustice unknowingly perpetrated by ourselves. Although your anger and frustration is understandable, your self control and reflection over the years allowing your mistakes to be a lesson must be commended.

God this was like one of the WORST audiences! They clapped at so many inappropriate moments... Dave really is one of the best storytellers

[@an_oracle]

I will say one of the things I've noticed is that because Dave gets so serious during some comedy specials the audience isn't always sure when to laugh/cheer/applaud and if you should or shouldn't, but no matter how serious Dave gets he never says or does anything to make the audience feel bad or guilty for doing so at the wrong times. Sometimes when they applaud too early he'll say things like "well wait hold on" but it always sounds like a friend talking to another friend. Its really cool that he can get serious without actually killing the mood, it's one of his greatest strengths imo

[@handsomebachelorlifestyle1673]

@@an_oracle this is exactly my take as well. It's like listening to a friend who's depressed talk to you about their issues, and then they throw some jokes in the mix and your not sure whether you should laugh or not.

[@Jameslawz]

That's a little unfair to say. The old Dave Chappelle was about social commentary, the new Dave Chappelle is about social justice, his new stuff is very intense and in your face, it's not really a comedy show but more talking to the audience about morality from his point of view whilst keeping it funny and light hearted at times. A lot of the topics he speaks about now are social taboos (transgenders, LGBT, police violence towards blacks, an unfair system in America towards ethnics and minorities etc.) In a political climate where the Liberals are trying to sweep the dirt under the rug and pretending these issues don't exist and act shocked when they do, he's cutting through the crap with a sharp knife and reminding us that nothing has changed, things are nice now, but systematically there is still disproportionate racism that still exists in this country. Now what does that have to do with the audience? Well they came for a comedy show and instead they have a man speaking very passionately about subject matters that are close to him, therefore it's hard for them to find an "opening" to clap and laugh since a lot of Dave's jokes are hidden in passes and disguised as jokes which is what we are familiar with, but when he doesn't give the audience a time to breathe during his rants, it can seem like it's "awkward timing". Just my analysis on it and as a long time fan of Dave Chappelle, great mind but even he can be caught up in his own bullshit sometimes to see the world around him, which is ironic coming from the guy who used to run social commentary as his main act (mainly focused towards the unfair treatment of black people). He's trying to come across as more prophetic and wiser but at the risk of sounding naïve and ignorant to the new world we live in. Still love what he does but he need to get back to the jokes and talk about the world around us, that's what we loved about him in the first place.
