every time I get summoned here, I have a quick look around and find that this place gets worse and worse, it's like a black hole which mangles everything that gets sucked into it. src

I wish jannies linked back to my post when they made it a snappypasta

He’s the best comedian of our time. No one else compares.

I think Norm does

norm is without a doubt on par with chappelle

norm on snl was legendary

In terms of just standup specials he was the greatest.

Why do people always rave about norm on snl. Are you like a bajillion years old? Norm has gotten significantly funnier since then

I just really liked how obnoxious he was with the OJ stuff. You couldnt get through 1 segment without him staring at the camera and deadpanning "OJ Simpson is a murderer". In context it was hilarious.

Whenever I watch those it makes me sad that I was never around for a time when SNL audiences would actually boo people. Other than one Kanye clip I literally cant think of an instance I've seen them do it since then.

...or so the Germans would have you believe...

ya meanwhile Dave today is a pale shadow of his Chappelle Show-era self

Still own Dirty Work on DVD

Snl is trash, norm is meh

True Norm may be the best you got me there.

Agreed. Just watching it, I knew there would be some outrage over out of context jokes.

He bad mouthed Hartford in Hartford. Dude had balls at least.

If you think that’s something, you need to see Bill Burr ranting about Philadelphia.

You one bridge having ass city

TWELVE MINUTES LEFT

AND I WILL BE SELLING MY CD AFTER THIS

Norm talked shit about Hartford?

CK, Burr, Rogan, Chappelle, Norm, Trussel, Shaffir... What a fuckin time to be alive

ok maybe Burr is up there with norm and Chappelle but def not rogan….his stand up is cringe city.

Joe Rohan knows a lot about standup, all his comic friends like his standup, and he does a lot of a stand up, yet his stand up sucks. It’s a mystery.

Joe Rogan knows a lot about UFC, all his fighting friends like his commentary, and he does a lot of a commentary, yet his commentary sucks. It’s a mystery.

It’s like how the best historians are also the worst at teaching history.

That’s what happens when you overthink it.

agreed, Rogan's stand up is shit

Rogan is fun to watch when your baked out of your mind, but yeah he's definitely not up there with Chappelle and Burr.

I love JRE and am a huge fan of Rogan in general just not into his standup but to each his own

Lmao how is Rogan on that list

Watching his podcast is very suspenseful waiting four hours for him to make a funny joke

Knew I'd get flack.

One thing I'll say in my defense is that several high profile comics think very highly of him.

Each their own, I think he's in the hall of fame with the rest.

Flak

I wish that CK could just make his comeback already. That did is a genius. He masturbate in front of four people who agreed to let him masturbate in front of him and now at all have to walk around pretending as if he's the moral equivalent of a pedarest.

Uhhhhhhhmm, as a literal sexual assault survivor seeing Louis CK is LITERALLY like getting assaulted all over again. I have the right to banish people from society by saying this, don't question me or else you're literally a rapist.

Never understood why he apologized. CK Louis did nothing wrong. He masturbated to consenting adults, at a time in his career where he wasn't prominent or influential. And even if he was (which he wasn't) the "victims" still consented

What he did was Shady because some of the people involved were under him in the workplace, which can constitutes harassment because it puts them under unsure pressure to have to say no to a superior who might lash out. In general you should not fuck people at your workplace, and especially you should not touch coworkers junior to you with a ten foot poll.

Nonetheless none of the women involved seem to really be making a big deal about it anyway, they just admitted it happened and mostly laughed about it. One girl actually literally just turned him down, he took no retribution and didn't abuse his power or ask her about it again afterwards. Sarah Silverman was also technically part of it but she pretty much just laughed about it and didn't consider herself a victim. But in terms of power relationships she's also at a higher level I guess than any of the other girls mentioned, if Louis CK at his height had made some calls he could have ended them, and it's not really fair to subject someone to that pressure. But he never did use such power, and they don't seem to consider themselves hugely victimized. Regardless several years banishment at this point I think should be enough.

It's not the victims making a big deal about it anyway, it's third parties, like being metooed is its own thing now and totally unforgivable and CK just around up putting himself barely on the side of legitimately metooed in most people's eyes.

And a bit RIP to Patrice O'Neal

RIP

Rogan but no Mulaney? Trash taste

Mulaney is massively overrated

Nephew delete this

no Al Jolson???

Rogan?

Gtfo

His skits are better than his standup.

Apart from that, I havent watched the set yet but there is very little doubt in my mind that MJ raped little boys. And even if he didnt, the shit he verifiably did do was already pretty fucked.

His early stand-up had a lot more sketch style narrative as well.

trannies still mad from the last one

No one else compares.

gay comment. Dave is S-tier, but plenty others compare.

you're gay.

u wouldnt say that to my face pussy im 6'5 and 300lbs jacked af

oh yeah im 7'0 380 and way more jacked than your small pussy gay ass.

uhh... my apologies s-sir tips hat in respect

its okay fren have a pebis.

Na, Doug Stanhope is the comedian of the age.

True I meant to put Stanhope in there he’s great also

Oh fuck yes Chapelle is gonna be Cancelled. I was thinking of making a betting pool but it looks like they remembered.

Pretty sure he has already been cancelled a few times.

Cancelled or /#cancelled?

I'm really shocked Jim Jefferies hasn't gotten canceled yet, that's got to be the most blatant example of someone evading cancellation with pandering woke shitposting, maybe second only to Fantano (who mainly escaped because of how bad the first canceler botched it)

Huh?

Fantano escaped but at what cost?

his dignity, his creative voice and my favorite youtube channel OAT. Rip thatistheplan

Was thatistheplan his meme review channel?

yee

Rest in Peace. His music videos bored me.

I like some of his reviews, but they're kind of pedestrian for the most part. He's the Roger Ebert of music reviews, with similar strengths and limitations to boot.

Fantano had to marry a black woman to escape

El clasico

Colbert is the only one that actually made me sad. He want from a guy with a hilarious and unique identity to another generic talk show host.

I refuse to accept that we have similar taste in comedy.

Colbert was one of the few that I felt like most everyone would find funny. Even a super diehard republican I knew in high school loved him

   Colbert:
Donald...   Trump.

   Audience:
Wheeeeeeeeeeze!!!

[removed]

Not quite as groundbreaking as my "Drumpf" sketch, but still pretty cutting-edge.

Shut the fuck up John Oliver.

Hey have you seen this EPIC John Oliver rant

John Oliver: Republicans are like "Duuuurrrrrrr I shidded my pants", but Democrats responded with a very meaningful position that I will lay out in detail for the next 30 minutes.

Omg haha you just totally summed up all of his shows, are you like some kind of genius XD

“..which is even more adjective than a noun verbing in a context, YOU DONT VERB IN THAT CONTEXT VERB YOU JUST DONT”

John Oliver is more Manatees with balls than family guy

I like it when you say things I agree with but I don't like it when you criticize the things I like

Trouble is back in the day, most die hard republicans knew his take on conservatives was mostly satirical... the last few years though it went frontline in cheek to outright straw manning and smug mockery

And they deserved it for pretending they weren't all war hawks

That's the Democrats. Republicans have never pretended not to be hawks.

Run by me the numbers of sovereign nations attached by Obama and Clinton(s) vs trump and bush one more time?

Neither one is 0. Acting like a hawk while claiming to be a hawk is not pretending. Trump used some anti-war rhetoric but also plenty of pro-war rhetoric, everyone knows he's senile and half the Republicans hate him anyway.

Clinton was anti-war until he realized he could distract from his impeachment hearings by bombing medicine factories. Obama said he would pull all troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and sent more instead. Bush said he was going to go to war in the Middle East, and went to war in the Middle East.

You forgot somalia, libya and syria.

I replied to the wrong person... I wanted to ask that of the boob above me who went full “wAr MoNgErInG ReDs”!!!

But yeah you’re still forgetting Somalia,Libya and Syria... I’m assuming you meant Serbia with the impeachment deflection (which I would propose is much worse, considering the impeachment of trump has been called for much louder since day one of trumps presidency than anything bill faced, and so far as yet the republicans and trump haven’t needed to bomb anyone to deflect that, even in a internet age.... ) somehow you’re also forgetting that the question was “how many sovereign states has trump declared or waged acts of war upon”?

Since I was born in 1986, Democrat’s have bombed or violently interferes with more nations than any republican, and that’s fact

Obama and Clinton(s) made war on many more nations than trump and bush’s put together but ok

go watch strangers with candy and re-assess

He said in an interview he was glad to end the character because it was unsustainable. Something about him not thinking it was funny anymore.

ratings say otherwise

he was in the tank until he decided to embrace full blown TDS at which point his ratings did a 180

What happened to Fantano? Didnt know he had a stirrup

a website tried to call him alt-right or pandering to alt-right. he sued them and they took the article down.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a blatant media hit piece as that Fader bullshit. They tried to fucking openly end the guy for clicks and over what I presume is jealousy at his massive success.

Fantano has always been woke. He's just become increasingly vocal about it now that there's a Republican president.

How the fuck can you sure someone for calling you alt right

Can lintards sure rightists now for claiming their communists when their really just spineless libtards who will never do anything

idk, he never really talked about the lawsuit publicly. but the article resulted in him having to cancel a tour, and i think his manager dropped him.

so it was probably over financial losses related to that.

ehh, yes and no. He definitely has opinions now that I can't imagine him holding 3-4 years ago. But he's always been very left leaning, which is probably part of what made his TitP commentaries more interesting than the average anti-sjw dreck.

Jefferies can't get cancelled because tighty whities hate him

Tighty Whitey: Uptight, racist white guy

Jim „women don’t like shit in their vaginas“ jefferies

He'd only get canceled if he lets himself get canceled. There's nothing anyone can take from him. He'll still get booked.

Chappelle will not be cancelled, that dude is bulletproof.

You can only really be cancelled if you let people do it to you.

*if you're already rich and extremely successful

Dave Chappelle hasn't been cancelled and her literally refered to bill Cosby as a hero who do happens to rape

Oh fuck yes Chapelle is gonna be Cancelled. I was thinking of making a betting pool but it looks like they remembered.

Don't pretend you have friends

A few but they wouldn’t be online enough to know what any of that means.

He isn’t

Look at all these bigots trying to silence the black man.

Straight 👏🏿 black 👏🏿 men 👏🏿 are 👏🏿 the 👏🏿 straight👏🏿 white 👏🏿 men 👏🏿 of 👏🏿 black 👏🏿 people

Based.

Imagine thinking Netflix isn't paying these (((journalists))) to write outrageous articles to advertise Chappelle's new special.

Nobody's getting cancelled or anything.

It's kind of amazing how effective just ignoring people is at avoiding getting canceled. In Virginia the entire line of succession for the governorship is people who appeared in blackface, besides the black dude, but he got metooed. Every Democrat and also the Republican leader of the senate.

Dude talked about how much he loved Michael Jackson and nearly moonwalked and now nobody even remembers.

Dan Harmon is the one guy who managed to prostrate and humiliate himself sufficiently to be forgiven. His entire shtick is that he's a douche narcissist who knows he's a douche self loathing narcissist and loathes himself though, prostration comes easy to him.

That scandal was gold. Northam and Fairfax were massively lucky, their scandals cancelled each other out

lol. If it is an ad, then it worked for me.

I've taken up to just doing the exact opposite of what wokies say not to do or watch or think about and the results have yet to disappoint 👌

Sometimes I stop and think about how there are people out there who unironically browse VICE and genuinely consider it to be a reliable source of news and entertainment. Óvò

But do you remember when it was?? When we all watched the bearded dude do crazy shit, and all the war correspondence?? Vice used to be top notch.

Can we get an F for vice

I should've specified present day Vice

It's hard to blame them when you realize really it's just.. the death of liberals y'know?

PC culture ruined them, and because they won't stop, people are turning to conservative retards.

It’s what happens when you start basing moral value on which political polices you think are good and bad.... you end up with the pissing contest we see in lefty twitter.

It sounds like you are just smugly dismissing moral values you don't care about as "political". I hate the way rightists pretend as if they have no politics, you do, you're just pretentious and refuse to call it that.

It's always funny seeing leftist act like they have the moral high ground when they're okay with baby murder and keeping illegals as second class citizens so their fruit is cheaper.

The turn to the right happened first, don't pretend like you were asleep for the past decade. The republican party has never been more extreme or held more power. This is despite the democrats running a centrist in 2016. People don't want centrists anymore, that was the mistake.

What policies have the Republicans changed? They seem pretty consistent while Democrats have changed theirs a lot from even Obama's years.

PC culture is not liberalism. It's shitty idpol, the next generation's "cursing in rap should be illegal on the radio". Perl clutching morons who think taking offense is a moral imperative.

while both sides do some Idpol libs are the only ones pretending like its a good thing.

def agree on the second point.

White pride losers do exactly the same thing.

VICE in Afghanistan with that Marine unit was pretty OP.

I liked the one where they visited the Romney compound that was warring with drug cartels.

Wait? What?

A lot of their documentaries - at least the ones NOT about indigenous transgender marijuana farmers - are really quite good.

about indigenous transgender marijuana farmers

I would watch that.

Yeah but would you watch it 12 times?

Vice guide to travel was awesome but dunno if they do that anymore. That fuckin Liberia one...oof

they had a good one recently about people who were imprisoned by ISIS it's on their yt channel. but vice's content has been super hit and miss

They actually did a good video about “Black Conservatives in the USA”. It was actually pretty fair. I was expecting a straight hour of them dunking on them and implying they were House Nigs.

Nowadays it’s like Vice is just intentionally going for only the “rage clicks”. They’ll just take any topic/person/band/culture that anyone likes and post a headline saying it’s shitty so that people will click on it out of rage that Vice is insulting their favorite thing. Then Vice makes the ad revenue off of that. They’re like an insufferable attention-whore who no one likes anymore so they just insult everything so they won’t be forgotten and irrelevant.

... it's very effective!

Ikr? People actually browse western media looking for truth.

think for a moment...you are a journalist for VICE...your predecessors spent months in the Ukraine, on the front lines, reporting daily progress by both the native militias and the Russian separatist forces... last week, your best bud spent 4 or 5 days in Uganda working on a video about how all the locals were bug-eyed, shitfaced drunk every single day off their banana liquor brewed in every village and township by a local mother. And now you are reduced to counting how many microaggressions Dave Chappelle has in his new special. I would slit my own wrists on principle.

I’m gonna go watch the new Chapelle special right now just because of these stupid articles.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be the type of person who chooses to let comedians offend them. Then I realize those people must lead very angry lives.

With all the rapists and pedophiles and other vile creatures in pedowood you'd want to be a bit suspicious of their smear of a dead man years after the fact, like they didn't turn on Polanski or any of the nickelodeon execs or Spielberg or any of the rest.

Spielberg?

The rumor is that he molested Heather O’Rourke. One of the girls from the old TV show “You can’t do that on Television” supposedly witnessed it. I’m not sure if they say anything else about him.

Lol

There is some hearsay out there from an actor from "you cant do that on television".

She said she saw him molest some bitch or something who was a kid.

Idk for sure but at this point anything i hear about hollywood fucking kids i sort into the "probably" category

Rich people do what they want, get rid of rich people.

I didn't know he made a new special. Now thanks to the woketards the message reached me and im going to watch it today

honestly it's the funniest shit he's done since the show, he's got that old energy back

I have high hopes after reading this. I tried watching some of his stuff after he came back and he just seemed a little tired, the vocal fry was off the charts, felt like he didn't really want to be there a whole lot.

you'll know by the 10 minute mark if you're gonna like the rest of it, he comes out HARD

you're SO close to figuring out that this (along with almost all the other netlifx scandals) are manufactured outrage designed to catch your ever-fleeting attention

so close

It will take me another three weeks. I keep you updated

he defended mayos when no one else would

I agree with him

Nice. This means its good.

He plays with saying he doesn’t believe and then the problem of acknowledging with reality of accusations. He says “But it’s Michael Jackson!” And how hard it is to stop loving his work. He is playing with the issue and the public difficulty in dealing with these situations.
