Netflix Special 2017 Dave Chappelle. This vibe didn't change in the two of the three Netflix specials I had the liberty of catching Thursday evening. No one famous was in the small screening room I sat in, Chappelle wasn't there to take our questions, but I didn't care. I was anxious to see what one of my favorite comedians had up his sleeve again. Most of the first special was based on events that happened in 2015 and 2016. He mentioned bombing a show in Detroit so badly, he went out afterwards and gave bubble gum to homeless people so they could be hungrier. He talked about each of the four times he met O.J. Simpson in the only way he can. One time in particular, he recalled telling one of his agents, “get over yourself,” after running into the Juice after the acquittal and emphasizing that Simpson rushed for over 11,000 yards. He touched on how technology and information are desensitizing us, and how he flaked on a Flint, Mich. charity event because Chris Rock had an extra ticket to the Oscars. He also poked fun at himself for not being as monetarily successful as he should’ve been in a bit about when he took his son to see a Kevin Hart show. "I was furious," Chappelle screamed, painting a picture of his flesh and blood slapping his knee to Hart's antics on stage. "N----, I tell jokes, too!" Unsurprisingly, everything hit. That's until he started making jokes that will certainly make people uncomfortable in our current PC reactionary culture. Chappelle poked fun at white women and white gay men’s claims of discrimination by driving home the point that it still doesn't compare to the ways black and brown people are treated in this country. He also mediated on Bill Cosby’s rape allegations as he tried to come to grips with them as a black comedian who looked up to Cosby. He compared the Cosby situation to chocolate ice cream. Let me explain. As a black comic, Chappelle noted that Cosby had a huge impact on his career. He asked the crowd, "How would you feel if chocolate ice cream raped people?" He felt torn about Cosby's fall from grace and started rapping off all the good Cosby has done like being the first black comic to win an Emmy or his various college funds, among other things. Chappelle said that Cosby's like a superhero that goes around town asking women if he can pat their vaginas in order to gain power to save people. The catch is, if said women refuse, he's forced to rape them. Essentially, the punchline was how Bill saved more than he raped. Despite it’s obviously squeamish nature, that joke hit too. The first installment felt more like a comeback, stand-up comedy , even with some of the topics feeling dated. The second one felt more like a primer for something bigger and new—more lighthearted with jokes about masturbation and marriage. He also looked back at new hecklers—touching on the time a man threw a “premeditated” banana peel at him in Santa Fe. The genius stand-up comics always make us uncomfortable. George Carlin challenged our personal views, Richard Pryor did the same with the same conversational style Chappelle has, Eddie Murphy did with his vulgar delivery. I believe Chappelle is in that conversation—frankly, he has been for years. He's this generation's most influential and important comic.
