Just to note it's very ironic how all these supposed anti-outrage threads pop up giving out about the giving out

And we don't see, 'Chappelle crossed the line and I'm outraged' thread or 'Fair play to your wan Greta getting in the boat' thread.

That's because that line of thought is being spouted all across news outlets and social media already. It's a reaction to what we are being told and is a place for people who disagree with the outrage to discuss.

It invariably attracts people like yourself who think it's witty to say "ooh your being outraged at outrage", when that's not the case.

Did you get triggered? Apologies I hate that language.

My point stands. There's threads on complaining about complaining is there not and none from the other end? Or are you trying to bring the entire internet into the mix? I'm not Neo, I can't tell you what other sites are at.

I'm not that familiar with Chappelle's work - maybe his other stuff is that of a 'genius' (as one poster on this thread referred to him), but I found that show quite underwhelming.

The Michael Jackson stuff reminded me a lot of a twenty-year-old routine Jerry Sadowitz did on Gary Glitter:

"You know, it really comes to something when Gary Glitter, the king of glam rock, one of the greatest rock stars this country has ever produced, can't fuck who he wants, where he wants, when he wants... We dont know know what happened, we weren't there."

I'm not saying that he copied Sadowitz (whose routine was far more graphic and genuinely shocking), just that he used the same style of bleakly absurd twisted logic for laughs. Nobody who's watched a lot of comedy would see anything new or original there.

The transphobic material was particularly lazy - the "I identify as..." comparison is the kind of thing you'd expect from some tiresome idiot on Boards. You'd think that a professional comedian who wants to attack trans people would find a more original and provocative angle, but nope.

Greta outrages me just by looking at her, reminds me of some evil kid from a movie. What an evil head on her.

You were ok with the jokes about poor white heroin users I take it.

Personally I didn’t like the mike Jackson stuff myself. He was on firmer ground with Kevin Hart.

The anger she inspires among miserable right-wing men is quite something.

Isn't that what I said...a gift from the left....she should be in school. I think I'll pin up that picture of her in the antifa t-shirt and throw lumps of coal at it.

He's still funny but he's desperately grasping at the occasional profundity that made him a great comedian as opposed to a good one. He's past it and just sounds like a quasi alt right buffoon - but still a funny one.

Where did I say you're meant to like her?

I don't like her (or dislike her - I'm ambivalent to her) and I disagree with her being used as a puppet when she should indeed be in school. But there's no need for adults to jump on the bandwagon of insulting a teenager. They can think for themselves and express their view without resorting to the insults.

Not sure why we got onto Greta but these attacks are childish. And climate change is real.

Having the modern Left be outraged at one is hardly an achievement.

Like a Priest in the 50s screaming that one was going to go to hell.

This is the most important hour of stand-up in the last ten years. It is the first time in years that a global comedian has dared to joke about the new sacred cows. It is an amazing piece of work.

I just watched it there - enjoyed it! Some great stuff. Have moved onto the Killin' Them Softly now, I forgot the Clinton stuff, so good!

Who are the sacred cows? Which joke exactly?

The LGBTQ section. The reverse racism. The Michael Jackson paedophila material. We haven't had comedy like this recently.

They're not proven liars - you just have a bizarre inability to view Michael Jackson as possibly capable of wrongdoing.

Well actually, the two lads have been proven to be telling fibs. There have been numerous things like depositions and what have you, released that punches holes in their stories. I also read there is some Jackson show in LV that one of the accusers begged to choreograph and when he was refused by Jackson's estate (whoever that is) that's when he suddenly came up with this accusation.

Chappelle and anyone else have every right to believe they are lying with the evidence on show. If a judge can say to them, "no trier of fact, in their capable mind, could believe your stories" last year, I'd estimate, on this occasion, that it's a money grab with them two.

And no, I'm not a defender of anything or anyone, just stating the facts of that particular matter

Anyways, Chappelle is great :cool:

I think we can all agree we wouldn't let our kids sleep in Michael's locked bedroom if he was still with us today

Wouldn't let any of my kids sleep in anyone's bed. Enough stress as it is

All pure speculation on that front and I tend not to get involved with that. Could all have been perfectly innocent like the vast majority of them say. Might not have been

Who knows? One thing is for sure, none of us ever will so I'll leave it at that

Didn't like people laughing as soon as he mentioned Anthony Bourdains suicide, what was his point though, comparing Anthony Bourdains life to his friend? I didn't get that joke anyone one explain? I'm a big fan of Dave Chapelle by the way.

I never said it wasn't. In fact, I said it was wrong.
