Kinda sad seeing him and Ricky go down this path. Part of what makes good comedy is being unapologetic, but when their takes are off-colour enough that they need to explain them and spend whole specials explaining themselves I think they've lost it, what a strange hill to die on (I say this being a huge fan of them both prior to their most recent specials, I guess as we all are)

Chappelle has been a hack since the end of Chappelle's show IMO. He got way too full of himself and basically thought he was the greatest shit since sliced bread. And then he resorted to being a piece of shit edgelord to try and claw back any standing he had through shock humor and it's just sad. Then of course he played the victim and said he was being cancelled. Nah Dave, you're just an unfunny piece of shit.

ricky's success at legitimate entertainment was all due to stephen merchant, which is why he's stuck being a bigot on netflix "comedy" specials.

and chappelle was always rubbish

Extras is the best thing they ever did, and yeah it would have been shit without Merchant.
