He made fun of trans people and trans people pushed back.
If you support trans people in Saudi Arabia the government throws you in jail.
So I use to live in Riyadh and worked for a defense company. I left during covid and seen a lot of hate filled shit there. The people in general, were very nice but I’m an American and male.
My wife is not an American or Saudian. She would be harrassed and even hit by the locals. They looked down on her unless I was around.
At work, I would routine run into non-Americans/Saudians. Holy shit did they treat them bad. From forcing them to do degrading stuff or just belittle them in public.
Those were just the “normal” people. The royal family members were on a completely different level. Everyone used encrpyted chat services and if you posted about anything illegal, expect the Matowa (secret police) to visit your ass.
Fuck all those going there and speaking all rosey for blood money.
This guy is a clown and not the funny kind. He likes to pretend he’s still one of the little people from the streets, all he cares about is money.
Clown? He’s a cheap whore. And i don’t mean the sex worker kind. I actually respect those.
What happened to this guy? Like seriously. He went away and then came with this fucking terminal brainrot and he just can’t stop saying stupid shit
You can’t make observational comedy about being a young and hungry comedian/writer when you’ve spent the last decade being wealthy and out-of-touch.
If he was still clever, he probably could’ve threaded the transphobia needle and either figured a way to make it right or made it so funny that enough people would enjoy it regardless. But now he’s cranky and spoiled by success so he’s just going to get angry, which is even less funny.
he had a chance to switch material towards kind of humor George Carlin started doing later in his career - discussing serious subject matter in somewhat jovial manner with continuous punching up. Instead he chose the worst kind of punching down and when you’re a rich guy mocking the poor and struggling - yeah, that’s just bad.
thx
Dude is a rich fuck who still bitches that other even richer fucks “stole” his money. And my poor ass is supposed to relate. He has been rich for most of his life but likes to pretend he’sa regular guy. He lives on another planet surrounded by bubbles of assistants and staff that kiss his ass
but he can’t say offensive things for shits and giggles. so it is mathematically relatable.
The irony of a black man who has felt the impairment of his own freedoms so clearly and so often, now taking coins to make joke about the same to those who would themselves be his enslavers in a slightly different circumstance. Look at who does all the shittiest jobs in Saudi Arabia.
“It’s easier to talk here than it is in America,”
Yeah, as long as you don’t say anything about the imprisonments and murders without fair trial, religious intolerance, or make fun of the kings Mu’umu’u.
Who the F does a “Comedy Festival” in Saudi Arabia, of all places? What’s next? North Korea? The USA?
Facts, the usa is now one hundred percent policing language on governmental and societal level.
Also facts: im a bout to be called a nazi by a teenager, because they want to police my language.
Also facts: going to eat some spaghetti
Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”
Based and true. Nobody read the article.
Bill Burr is the only one that really got to me. I loved that guy. But I just can’t see him the same way anymore
He’s dead to me now.
I’ve watched his ignorance and complete separation from humanity occur in lock-step with his increasing privilege and earnings.
Same for me. He seemed so… Honest. He walked that line between left and right, not siding. It made me think, “this is a genuine guy”. Fuck me, I guess. Truly affected me more than most things lately. I realise that makes me sound cold, given recent events, but it did. Again, fuck me, I guess.

He must have been really hurting for money.
Dear Dave Chepple, Billy Burka, and the rest of hypocrite moralless indignified sellouts:
You have looted blood money from the taxes of oppressed unrepresented beheaded people in a dictatorship. The executioner asked you to dance to distract the world and cover up the blood of slaughtered protestors and humanright activists for him while he beheads them. And you gladly obliged.
So just answer my questions with your freedom of speech Dave.
You know you were not paid by the “6000” attendees. The tickets cost from $13 to $80 for the whole week with each day featuring more than 1 comic.
So how did you alone get paid $1.6millions Dave? What’s the name of this organizing company? Where did they get this money from which they gave to dance Dave? Why is this Muslim Arabic country overpaying international celebeities to perform there? Not humanright washing… no… no.
What happened to the Saudi citizens who complained about their wealth in billions of dollars going to overpaid LIV athletes, boxing athletes, soccer, esports kids, Hiphop concerts, and now you Dave?
he hated that he was called out for being a transphobic person, thats the real reason. now that hes in a country that hates lgbtq+ he feels welcomed.
Based on some of his accounts of his experiences I get why he might have a chip on his shoulder. Callinh the police on a black man for no reason just to harass them is practically attempted murder in the US and is an unacceptable step up from online comments.
That being said, saying a country like Saudi Arabia where the state will throw you in jail for speech with no due process is the same is a complete lack of awareness.
Funny how all other countries are lacking the range of having different opinions about things among the different groups of people. Saudi Arabia hates lgbtq+? With such a view, does that mean the USA love guns more than school children?
does that mean the USA love guns more than school children?
Yes. I say this as an American. If America actually cared about children we would have been able to do something after Sandy Hook. America contains people that aren’t stupid about guns just as I’m sure SA contains people that don’t like slavery. But the good ones aren’t in charge.
Uncle Dave
Excessive income causes brain damage

I love your comedy Dave, but the sell-out you’ve become invalidates your position as a truth-teller right when America needs you the most. You built your career on raw talent and hard work without bowing to your masters at Comedy Central, and you don’t need to do this either. If you ever manage to un-sew your lips from the royal prince’s gold-shitting anus, please come back to us.
people calling out anti-trans jokes really broke his mind.
Lol that’d be stupid. Trump can’t do anything while he’s off U.S soil
Ever hear of a guy called Anwar al-Awlaki? Drones can get you anywhere.
Talk about cancel culture, amirite?
Ah okay, great point lol
