    dude isn’t even funny in the first place. he can’t do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn’t a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.

      I went to see Rob Schneider perform comedy round 2015. Tickets were free for a Saturday night. It was at 80% capacity, which is unusual since it’s always sold out.

      He was pretty rough and attempted to be edgy. He already had gay jokes and there was polite laughter, but nothing compared to the professional comedians who opened for him.

      Honestly I thought he’d quit after a few years.

        blame adam sandler.

        Hes been clinging to Adam Sandlers career and been artificially buoyed by it for over a decade.

      Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful recently?

      I haven’t watch anything from him since forever because I don’t find his jokes funny, it’s mostly him complaining or trash talk other people.

        His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.

        Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:

        • Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.

        • And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!

        • If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.

        • trans-bitch from the picture.

        • A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.

        • I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.

        • “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.

        • Gender is a fact.

        • Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?

        • I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

        And here’s what the actual goat comedian who had a lasting impact in the industry beyond a mediocre skit series in late 90s Comedy Central and one movie might retort to Chappelle

          You wouldn’t even need to change that many words from the Carlin interview for it to be 100% accurate to today. Andrew > Dave, Jewish > Black. Done.

            What sort of non-bigoted story do you think capable of containing all those particular posted punchlines?

                Do you think trans people think those jokes are not that bad?

                It seems more like you don’t care that they’re hurtful.

                  Chappelle makes fun of everyone, sounds like you’re just mad because this time it was about you.

                    I’m not trans and I’m not sure why you think “he makes fun of everyone” is an excuse to say hurtful things.

                I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else

                Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”

                  Especially when the people who watched it criticized it.

                  Of course, some people posting refuse to even believe that.

            That was… The point though? He thinks trans women aren’t women. That was like a full third of the show’s transcript, and I even left some off

            So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?

            I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people

            Or something

            Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess

        He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren’t generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it’s bad.
