> REVIEW: "No one does an angry rant quite like this vein-popping 47-year-old. This slick special combines a touch of class with Burr's vitriolic rage and unfiltered, uninformed opinions, and it's a wonderful juxtaposition."

-------------------------------------------
Exposes The Myth Of Outrage Culture, follows Dave Chappelle’s Sticks and Stones;both framed as a backlash against outrage culture, with much of the material deliberately designed to offend. Paper Tiger, however, didn’t provoke much controversy at all. Despite Burr gleefully pushing back against modern sensibilities, mocking feminism, the #MeToo movement, and Michelle Obama, the special currently sits at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes The backlash against Chappelle was framed as an example of oversensitivity, as evidence that you’re “not allowed” to make offensive jokes anymore. Burr’s special is also being heralded as another bold attack against humorless “wokescolds,” but somehow, never attracted the accompanying backlash. - DirectorJaime Eliezer KarasStarsBill BurrComedian Bill Burr takes the stage in Nashville and riffs on such topics as overpopulation, fast food, dictators and gorilla sign language.STANDUP maybe

watched season 1, 4 episodes - just fun to watch, came off as honest, similar to comedians in cars drinking coffee but with food. Liked the host & a pot smoking Seth Rogan showing off his home town Vancouver. Abandoned the episode "Marrakech" though - didn't recognize the actress but whoever she just came off as an airhead.

Dave talks about not actually growing up in the projects, the hate he received from the transgender community, and from fake news. IMDB: I am slightly sick of the Trump stories, not because I like him but because it is everywhere. But Dave Chappelle is great at it. I think he can people laugh who also disagree with him. I liked Hillary but I still laughed through his jokes about election. - DirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleDave jokes about the sexual assaults dominating the 2017 entertainment news and how and why people allow themselves to be abused.STANDUP Dave Chappelle - part 2 'Equanimity & The Bird Revelation'
It's a small club setting making things low key and like he's there just having a conversation with us jokes about the sexual assaults dominating the 2017 entertainment news and how and why people allow themselves to be abused.
It's important that people can find humour even in the darkest things, his most intimate special to date, It's real & introspective too; highlights include Louis CKs "freckled p***is"; the most compelling argument (maybe once and for all) about why Michael Jackson's allegations were unfounded due to how he showed off his place to the kids; and a complex story about a cold pimp in France in the 40s who he connects in a long and winding way as to why he quit the Chappelle Show and kept a lower profile. - 20171h 7mTV-MA8.1 (13K)TV SpecialDirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleMorgan FreemanDave Chappelle gives his usual skewed insight into the topics of race, technology, OJ Simpson, and more in a stand up special filmed in Hollywood.STANDUP Dave Chappelle - part 1
'Dave Chappelle Collection" better than part 2 - filmed in Hollywood.
It has been 10 years since Chappelle has done a show in L.A. The show takes on transgender, disenfranchised politics, O.J., and most of all Bill Crosby. The O.J. stuff is probably the easiest to digest and the most fun. The Bill Crosby through-line is probably the most personal. It is the conflicted musing of a younger man about his fallen hero. - 20171h 6mTV-MA7.9 (12K)TV SpecialDirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleMorgan FreemanDave Chappelle gives his stand about racially charged run-ins, celebrity scandals and fatherly dilemmas in his stand-up set at Austin's Moody Theater.STANDUP Dave Chappelle - part 2
'Dave Chappelle Collection'
my least favorite - filmed in Austin Texas. I liked the whole bit with the bunch of kids throwing a banana peel at him, he does remind me of Rick James. - DirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleDave Chappelle takes on gun culture, the opioid crisis, and the tidal wave of celebrity scandals in a defiant stand-up special filmed in Atlanta.STANDUP Dave Chappelle
rewatch for end bit after credits
Me: My introduction (and probably the best) to Dave Chappelle. He's very crass, politically uncorrect and so very very funny!
Plot: Dave takes on gun culture, the opioid crisis & the tidal wave of celebrity scandals in a defiant stand-up special filmed in Atlanta.
IMDB: it was refreshing to hear someone truly saying jokes with no regard to "correctedness. Still reliably dropping some awkward truth bombs, especially on the witch-hunt of Louis CK, the LGBTQRS folks, offence archaeology, false accusations & the terribly oppressed French actor Jussie Smollet. He's made a show that will make pretty much EVERYONE feel a little uncomfortable at some point or other, and that's something we all need from time to time. - DirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleDaphne DormanAs he closes out his slate of comedy specials, Dave takes the stage to try and set the record straight; and get a few things off his chest.STANDUP Dave Chappelle

Canadian *** back on NFlix 2023
Me: best talk show I've seen in forever! He has a great ability to set his guest's at ease. As a Netflix the content restrictions are shall we say relaxed:) I 1st watched his stand up comedy special " Norm Macdonald: Hitler's Dog, Gossip & Trickery" to get a feel for his style, it's terrific too! Episode 1 wasn't so great, they get better. My personal favorites, Drew Barrymore, Judge Judy, David Letterman, Michael Keaton, with Chevy Chase that standout.

> review: uses his special to make fun of aging, Americans, kids, and many other facts of life. Globe and Mail said, "His gift for obscenity is authentic and sometimes breathtaking, and he's an equal-opportunity satirist. He can make everyone uneasy and sometimes that's the most necessary, incendiary kind of comedy." - DirectorJohn L.
