I hope not. Carlin stopped being funny years before he died.

Watched it. Was pretty funny. 8/10. Would watch again.
Not as good as alot of today's comics though, but I do appreciate what he was trying to do.

I love offensive humor if it has a fun angle on it, and Chappelle again knocks it out of the park on this, except in a couple places.
The angle that Louis CK's abuse wasn't that bad is just misogynistic bullshit. And I expect misogyny in comedy but that's so damn ridiculous I'm shocked Dave was that lazy to argue it. I'm also not interested in re-litigating Michael Jackson's accusers potentially lying, because the fact that Michael Jackson treated them well aside from sexual exploitation is a joke that's been made on SNL since Norm McDonald. The LGBT sharing a car bit was inspired. Most of the special was, and it has the odd perspectives and hilarious angles that you expect from him. But those are two lazy-ass jokes that are so asinine, I'm irked they even graced his special. |

Man, I love Chapelle. He's the best at making you laugh and making you think just by telling stories. The best thing is that he does it without being judgmental. He makes you think about it while being able to laugh out loud at both sides of the issues. Hands down the best around in my book. Also love Norm McDonald.

And the 'prosecution' of the matter is simply a change in the social currency of the individual in question. This isn't a matter of coercion or quid pro quo, and we never got a forum where we actually delved into the specifics of what possible implicit or soft power CK may have exerted. The whole thing stinks of excessive narrative construction after the fact. Some see a powerful comic 'imposing' his good graces in order to engage in 'perverted' acts. It is just as plausible to see a lonely schlub away from home reaching out to compatible colleagues for potential mutual release.

Some people like creepy. And FTR if there are more accounts out there I haven't heard them, but he; jacked off while on the phone and jacked off while someone watched. Not my cup of tea, but different strokes [npi] for different folks. And repeated conduct, if anything, obviates evidence of a violation. For instance, CK has done similar stuff with Sarah Silverman. Sometimes she indulged him, sometimes she told him to cut it out. No evidence he balked at either situation. the only differences there are, again this nebulous concept of relative power in the industry, and personal assertiveness. Neither of which has anyone established was on CK's mind at the time of the interactions.

With Cosby, it was multiple reporting LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS after consuming something Cosby supplied, and waking having been violated. With CK, it was multiple people where he ASKED THEM 'hey, you mind if I do this?' Whatever your personal proclivities, 'hey, mind if I do this' is part of how IT'S SUPPOSED to happen, not 'smoke.'
