He then addressed the controversy surrounding his anti-trans material, saying, “If you guys came here to this show tonight thinking that I’m going to make fun of those people again, you’ve come to the wrong show. I’m not fucking with those people anymore. It wasn’t worth the trouble. I ain’t saying shit about them. Maybe three or four times tonight, but that’s it. I’m tired of talking about them. And you want to know why I’m tired of talking about them? Because these people acted like I needed them to be funny. Well, that’s ridiculous. I don’t need you. I got a whole new angle coming. You guys will never see this shit coming. I ain’t doing trans jokes no more.”
He then said he was going to transition to joking about “handicapped” people instead because “they’re not as organized as the gays. And I love punching down.”
A few minutes later, Chappelle revisited the topic, saying, “To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to repair my relationship with the transgender community cause I don’t want them to think that I don’t like them. You know how I’ve been repairing it? I wrote a play. I did. Cause I know that gays love plays. It’s a very sad play, but it’s moving. It’s about a Black transgender woman whose pronoun is, sadly, n***a. It’s a tear-jerker. At the end of the play she dies of loneliness cause white liberals don’t know how to speak to her. It’s sad.”
This just comes off as whiny. “I’m getting cancelled again by being given another special, boo hoo.”
And then uses literally the “one joke” conservatives have about pronouns. There’s nothing funny or creative about that joke. It’s been told a billion times by conservative talking heads.
There’s an entire subreddit dedicated to it. r/onejoke
And he’s a fucking genius. Because, as far as I can tell, all of his trans jokes are really funny or nuanced. But his handicap jokes, some of them are just downright lame and insulting.
And everyone’s coming after him for his trans jokes, not his handicap jokes.
You can’t punch down on transpeople, their propaganda reach is massive. People are AFRAID to say the littlest bit negative about them.
That’s why the handicap jokes. He wanted to show what actually happens when you punch down: nothing. No one gives a shit.
Anyway, that’s my headcanon. Otherwise, some of these handicap jokes are completely inexcusable and don’t live up to the standard set by his trans jokes.
Imagine jumping to the defence of this guy 🤯🤮
This joke is fucking hilarious
