His stand-up was never great, though it could be good. Chapelle's Show was great though he had other writers for that one, principally Neal Brennan, whose stand-up is quite funny.

FM Gramsci,

Here's an older stand-up from him:



This was prime era.

In this one he seems more in character with Chapelle's Show. I wonder if he wrote this alone. This one is better, though.

the material is good enough on paper. I just don’t feel like he was into it.
Audience of tech bros and he barely mentioned his Asian family. Lost opportunity.

I didn’t watch his show until I’d already heard loads of great things about it, and what a disappointment it turned out to be. This was before all of his worst bullshit, too. At best, it was moderately amusing. Never laugh-out-loud funny.

The one bit from his standup that cracked me up was about how conflicted he felt re: Michael Richards’s racist meltdown as both a black man and a professional standup. “You can still win ‘em back, Kramer!”

Crap.

Hard disagree, I think he had some stand-up routines that were fucking fire until he got hooked on trans bashing. I don't like Neal Brennan.

Chappelle Show fucking sucked in a lot of ways. There were some classic skits but the best shit was just Charlie Murphy telling stories. The net effect of the show was white guys feeling wayyyy too comfortable saying "NIGGARS!!!" which I think is why Chappelle ran away to Africa.

I saw him live before the show came on, and he was fucking hilarious.

Hmmm, not “for me” I guess. I’m not big on Dice Clay kind of humour.

I really wouldn't put him in the Dice Clay category. For one, Dave could be clever and insightful.
