[Chappelle’s] never been more self-involved or less funny, his latest material a flimsy dismissal of his past transgressions that doubles down on the laziest of them at the same time. That this should find a home on Netflix mere days after the platform adds Ricky Gervais’s similarly grievance-driven Armageddon points to the emergence of an unsavory new niche in comedy.
Though the two both rank as A-list celebrities on merit of their illustrious careers, their latest work has seen a quiet, unceremonious and frostily received release. These bits offer no insight, and in many of their longer-winded passages, scarcely contain anything that could be classified as a joke. These once-esteemed talents formerly dedicated to puncturing racial tensions or hollow pieties now argue only for the unfairness of their own persecution, and their bravery in resisting it. This is Crank Comedy.
Ok so stop talking about them
To quote Seinfeld some more, “That’s a shame.”

We have to consider the time it happened. In the early 90s there was nothing wrong with sending one’s limo to pick up a high school girl after school. 🤮 /s
Yes, there was.
Hence why the person you replied to marked their statement as being sarcastic.
They look like siblings
Why are we lumping these two together? Gervaise isn’t my favorite but he’s just being political. Chappelle is making fun of trans people.
Chappelle dickriders insist ‘he can say anything he wants!’
He can and did.
And what he said makes him an asshole.

I thought the Gervais special was decent.
Chappelle not so much
Cappelle’s special was decent, not my favourite. But Ricky Gervais’s was brilliant as always. Can recommend.
Yeah these guys are on Epstein’s list - trying to drum up support from the conservative crowd before shit goes down.
Didn’t Ricky insult an entire room full of elites over how Epstein was their friend and not his during some award ceremony?
