  1. “Killing Them Softly” era Dave would be ashamed of the current iteration Dave

  2. I mean, don’t kill the messenger, but he’s not exactly wrong about this….

    An entire audience of thousands, including yourself, pays a good chunk of money for tickets to a show, and you’re just going to disrupt it so you can snag a clip for your Social Media?

  3. He doesn’t do anything *but* complain these days. It’s been like 20 years of this.

  5. This guy used to be funny before he became the person he used to make fun of, an entitled piece of shit

  6. If you can’t take heckling due to your views on a war or whatever political…maybe don’t make those “”jokes””?

    Or at least reply back with a joke..

  7. Yay! Time to hear Reddit’s thoughts on Dave and how he used to be funny and isn’t any more.

  8. Resurfaced by the media to try and rile people up.

    I’m over Dave. He was funny and then he hit 45 and now he’s an old grumpy asshole. Not an interesting or rare trajectory.

  9. We still care about Dave Chappelle? He’s not the Dave we grew up with he’s basically “Ugh Kids today” the person.

  10. Dave wants to be deep and influential but forgot his job is to make people laugh. Getting heckled? Make a quick joke and keep it moving

  11. I still think he’s funny. I don’t know anyone who says he’s not funny anymore. Where do these non Dave Chappelle fans hang out so I can encounter one in real life.

  12. once again he isn’t wrong and the way he responded was exactly how I would expect him to. Nothing to see here thanks again media for your brilliant writing

  15. Somebody’s a little too sensitive, huh? Poor Dave’s widdle feelings

  16. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Dave Chappelle hasn’t been funny for a long, long time.

  18. how do you care about hecklers at any venue larger than a small club

  19. From comedy icon to right-wing dog whistle, the fall of Dave Chappelle is a tragedy of his own making.

  22. He basically said:

    The Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on Oct 7 was wrong

    Israel attacking Palestinian civilians is wrong

    Are any of these false statements?

  24. Wtf are all of these comments? Bots? Someone tell me what’s wrong with anything Dave said in this article?

  25. does his decline have anything to do with not working with Neal Brennan anymore? Is it possible Dave was never funny if left to his own material?

  26. Leave comedians alone. This cancel culture shit has to stop. I’m sick of this humorless, gotcha attitude that is so popular now.

  27. “If you are in America, the best thing you can do is to make American Jews feel safe, feel loved, and supported so they can know they don’t have to support a country that is committing genocide just to feel safe”
