Let’s get one thing clear—Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais are privileged middle aged comedians who punch down on vulnerable targets in a desperate quest for relevance.
At least that’s what I’ve learned from reading media coverage of their recently-released comedy specials. Turns out many custodians of comedy are not pleased with the comedy titan’s latest offerings. …
Gervais and Chappelle’s latest specials both topped Netflix’s global charts, and Gervais just scored the first-ever Golden Globe for Best Stand-Up Special. Nearly every comedian on earth years to be so “frostily received.”
But the real problem is all you Netflix watchers who refuse to greet Gervais and Chappelle with the frostiness they deserve! Turns out Americans want problematic comedy. What’s even worse for the activists with bylines is viewers around the world want it too.
