Well, I went in expecting it to be funny and not a total disaster, but all he did was repeat old jokes from the Chappelle Show from 20 years ago. It was really bizarre and I have no idea why Netflix aired this or spent so many millions of dollars producing it. Within the first five minutes of his set, he just stood quietly and then shouted "I'm rich, bitch!" Then didn't say anything else for like 20 seconds while waiting for applause -- which didn't come -- before shouting it again, but louder. "I'm rich, bitch!" Then he did it several more times, each time more aggressively than the last.

I guess the whole point was to do impressions, and that's a thing he's trying to return to, but then he just went and repeated more of them like Prince except he acted out Prince overdosing on opioids on stage. After that Chappelle started slamming the microphone into his groin while shouting "pow! pow! powwww!"

Words cannot describe the scene.

Finally he did his Wayne Brady impression and he would say "is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" And he'd do that over and over. It was obvious the crowd had already thinned out at that point as people were walking out. He also whined a lot about nonsense. Anyways, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I don't really know what's wrong with standup comedy these days. Is this the best we can expect from our overpaid celebrity entertainers?

What are the good stand up specials on Netflix? I’ve only watched John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid and that was fantastic, and Kid Gorgeous was pretty good.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

He's an old moron who couldn't adapt to modern sensibilities and humor so he bitches and moans about it while stagnating and remaining incapable of creating material that is compelling in this day and age.

i watched it recently and i agree. he actually just spent an hour or so looking in the direction of, but not quite at, the solitary camera, and it was surreal when about 40 minutes in i realised he hadn't blinked or said a word at all. i was crying out of sympathy but also it was very funny

I was in the crowd for that filming and I would estimate at least 1/5th of the people in attendance were openly masturbating during a significant portion of the show.

It's like a Gallagher show except instead of fruit it's jizz and instead of it coming from the stage it's coming from the 40 year old white guy sitting next to you. No pun intended. Or was it?

I can’t tell who’s lying and who’s not lying; but I’ve been up for 2 days off nasal spray. I don’t think Chappelle did this stuff but I am not about to find out for myself . Who can I even trust

I enjoyed it except for his “what if i was a chinaman trapped in a black dudes body!” *does terrible impression of Asian person* joke.

That bit has been done better 100 times by other comedians. It was some hack poo poo, Dave.
