shcoleman Review of Dave Chappelle: The Closer

Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021 TV Special)

Dave will always make us take a close look at ourselves

[10/10 · 7 October 2021]

I will always think that Dave Chappelle is a master at accurately capturing the human contradiction and showing it to us in comedy. How else could someone present such travesties really? Humans think they are so much better, so set apart, so altruist and good. We think that so much that we will split into groups and start to throw stones at other groups. What irony! Dave captures these errors in humanity in such a clever way that I don't think I've ever seen, or will ever in my lifetime, see someone else be able to do it. And by "able" I mean take the blowback that comes from telling truth on a grand stage and poking fun. I know you either love him or hate him. I think he is a genius. And he loves humanity. He loves people. He would not be able to do this if he couldn't see it all. He truly is the GOAT!
