Why Dave Chappelle's 'How Old Is 15 Really?' Is Genius - Joke Genius

www.comedyhype.com/ - In 2004's 'For What It's Worth' comedy special by Dave Chappelle he would take aim at the conversation of R. Kelly's trial and ask the question 'How old is 15 really?' Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_

Great video. Piece of advice for later. We hear people say things like, "Black boys are 18 times more likely to be tried as an adult than white boys for the exact same crime." We hear things spoken of in a multiplicative way so often, it's kind of lost its impact. If you phrase it as, "For every one white boy tried as an adult, 18 black boys are tried as adults for the exact same crime" it has a much bigger impact or even, "For every 19 boys tried as adult, 18 are black and one is white."

[@andrews6696]

Not quite. You're falling for baseline fallacy. 18 times more likely =/= for every 1 x there are 18 y. Lets say that tall people are 18 times more likely to drive a honda than average sized people. There are 10 average sized people for every tall person. That would mean for every 28 people who drive hondas 18 would be tall and 10 would be average sized.

My mind was on Erica Pratt earlier this year & I looked her up. Given her age at the time of her abduction & her escape, this child should've been hailed as a national hero; we should still be talking about her. The media spent maybe 24hrs covering her story & moved on. I don't even think the public was ever informed about the specifics of her capture, her captors/their consequences, & her life since the ordeal. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Smart had a book deal, countless interviews, hosted her own TV show, a TV movie about her life, etc. The media's bias is real.

Yes! Most bring up Killing em softly which was great also, but this one is on another level...

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Dave is like "Lil' Mooney". He's just as, if not sometimes more, socially brilliant with his jokes as Paul Mooney was. Just like Mooney, Chappelle is a comedic genius, hands down.

[@lefty4letty]

as he said, he's always been talking about racism but they don't listen. theyre still not listening, proving him right.

[@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect]

I wasn't sure where this was going, but I was pleasantly surprised. Good job in breaking this down and props to Dave Chappelle for bringing social awareness to particular issues and still being funny at the same time.

[@buffyshillings3138]

This was a fantastic piece. Keep these coming ya’ll 🙌

[@hlaw2830]

Lol, it's dated as fuck, if any of this were true today, you'd have heard about the two white kids and one Latino who were shot while these racists were screaming about how Tamir Rice wouldn't have been shot if he was white, and if we treated black people like they were responsible for their actions, people wouldn't be rioting over police *returning* fire.

[@mellieemerton3080]

Thank you for your analysis, I found it very educational and I love learning

[@bradchinn7676]

This is a great break down of Chappell's bit. I've actually made similar points on this very bit with guys at work. Thanks for confirming my take away from what I also thought was a genius joke from a master at making us all think for a minute.

[@YoungSwaggness]

Dave was spot on and so was Patrice R.I.P

[@josephwirtz7120]

I call that "floating a brick on a feather". Hitting people with a hard topic in a soft manner. Musician's, Comedian's, and Writer's often perform this difficult task. I am grateful for a man like Dave. Makes me proud to be from Ohio. Aloha.

[@divinemokeira]

Yessss! Please cover his most recent stand-up that has been buzzing like crazy! I would love to know how you break it down and view it!

[@wolfierobblack]

Woe, that was well done… great job on the break down man. ✅ 👍 points made and received..

[@rbr1170]

Dave is a genius comic. Man the way he walks on the edge of a blade with every joke is just amazing.

[@awordbyrmlloyd]

The problem to me is that black children are always being aged up and it is the reason why R. Kelly was getting away with things for so long.

[@BlkSuperman77]

Right. That’s the problem I have with it.

[@MsPbass]

That’s his point, WHY are black children being “aged up” when their white counterparts are not? The objective of the stand up in addition to being funny, is to get folks to think critically about why society continues treat/think of blacks differently. Not to mention the fact we perpetuate this “age up” foolishness within our own communities.

[@Colechamdiceman]

Or the fact that he was rich and the rich, historically, are hard to punish... Or the fact that, just like this vid started out, 'they're locking up our people' mentalities end up helping out criminals

Have you been to a bar? So many underage whites girls

[@Johenz]

@Otto Rocket yup, it’s insane how many you’d see w fake. Some look 12 and still get in

[@xflamealchemistx123]

My favorite part of Chappelle's stand up is always his "food for thought" lines he puts into his comedy. Definitely makes for critical thinking after seeing his shows.

God, do we need Chappelle these days. I'm sure he's exhausted. But damn, do I miss his insights and ability to get even unwilling people thinking a bit.

[@nickdibart]

We could really use some George Carlin as well. That guy was much smarter than people thought.

Chappelle has a podcast.

facts. but people don't believe that it's not a racial bias. when it come to people of color.

[@Mackaygolf]

It's not. It's a profit bias you simpleton.

[@rufusswashingtin2218]

the bias is blacks are never criminally punished for their behavior, allowed to spew racist anti white hate and make up silly claims of persecution with the media acting as their PR team,

Chapelle is one of the greatest comedians ever. He found a way to get popular and still be able to address important issues that many people might be ignorant too. Chapelle is GOAT

missing white woman syndrome applies today. Media was all over Gabby Petito but no word of Lauren Cho who went missing but now have found her remains.

Gabby was an influencer. I wouldn't really rely on the news for people going missing. Only some blow up while many aren't even noticed.
