New Chapelle special was really good, the closing story was a lot heavier than I expected shit to get.

You mean aside from the part where he was being really transphobic and complaining about "cancel culture?"

I guess so, since I didn't see either happening?

Is this not the show where he spread misinformation about JK Rowling being cancelled and labeled himself a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF)?

he calls himself transphobic throughout the standup because he is making fun of the people who call him that because they cant take a joke. The entire show was him saying, "Fine, yall gonna call me offensive? I'll give you something to be offended about."


Not one instance does he call for violence or meanness towards the LGBTQ+ community; in fact his ending story is about how those same people calling him transphobic bullied a transgender comedian (Daphne Dorman) to the point she committed suicide because she stood up for him. When people bully  a friend of yours to the point she kills herself, I think you earn the right to be an offensive asshole right back to them.

He is a comedian who makes offensive jokes; Is Jimmy Carr a pedophile because he makes a shitload of jokes about fucking kids? Probably not.

Also, that clip leaves out the punch line, which... he ain't wrong.

People have been telling me that Cheech and Chong movies are so funny for years.

Definitely a niche market.

Cheech and Chong had a reputation for being wildly funny.  They were a big hit with a lot of hippys.  I don't recall anyone in the establishment thinking they were funny, which I thought was odd because mostly they were making fun of hippys.  I only saw one Cheech and Chong movie.  My friends, all thought it was hilarious, but I never had any compelling drive to see them again after that.

I was high as a kite, still didn't find Cheech and Chong funny.

Sad, because I like both of them as well.

They reminded me of the guys I knew in high school, the ones that volunteered to help mow the school grounds because they couldn't stand sitting in a study hall.

They were somewhat amusing.  Not really funny.  But then Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were not all that funny either.  Even Abbott and Costello movies were not that good.  Their skits were usually funny as hell, but the movies were just too long.

I think cheech and Chong best piece was the kamikaze….”Any questions?”  “You out your fuckin mind?”
