    In addition to all of the other reasons we hate Dave Chappelle, he literally has exactly 2 degrees of separation from both :epstein: and :maxwell:

    He and Carrot Top should start a club of comedians who had a meteoric fifteen minutes of fame and are now weirdly buff assholes.

    he’s not poor

    Dave came from a "middle class " family. His jokes about poor African Americans were never from lived experience and might explain why he has become who he is now

    Back in the day when I heard he went to Africa...I guess I just assumed he went to like Liberia or something, I mean hanging out with a nation built by ex-slaves just to get his bearings, center himself in his value in the context of a relatable but non-American people or something. Nope, SOUTH Africa...wow. Just...wtf. I didn't know that.

    It's too bad, too. Half Baked was the spiritual successor to Cheech & Chong;s Up in Smoke as the sequels to that film are forgettable.

    There's only a small number of films that truly embody the experience of being really high, just that je ne sais quoi vibe with that exact quality of human experience.

    What a waste. Wealth and power are just poison and should be vigorously avoided.

    “On the Nose” did a whole episode about Dave’s antisemitism (alleged? Real?) and whether or not he was defending Ye on his SNL monologue. It suffered a little bit from “explaining the joke too much,” but it went into a lot about black humor and Jewish humor coming from histories of trauma and persecution- and what happens when the comedian who uses that tradition is in a place of wealth and comparative priveledge.

    He was close friends with other famous black performers like Kayne West and showed up in several videos Kayne filmed expressing his sanity after his mother’s passing.

    Kayne. How did this happen? It's the same mistake twice in a row. Do they not know how to spell Kanye? Do they have a spell checker that doesn't know Kanye but loves Kayne? It can't be a typo.

    I am troubled.
