It's just weird that Dave's made the defining theme of his comeback arc him Vs the gays over the course of four specials.
I kind of get it, because that's one of the main arenas where the landscape of comedy has shifted since his comedy central days so he could have something insightful to say about how social values have changed, which he did with his dababy material.
But, at the same time, most of his content on the LGBTetc in his current incarnation have leaned on "queers drive like this" jokes that were fairly obviously at the expense of that demographic. It wasn't really till the third act of the closer that he went out of his way to humanise them, and even then the whole bit was predicated on "I have a trans friend".
If he just peppered his sets with some really concise and funny jokes on the topic and then moved on he'd be good. That "impossible p*ssy" joke was classic Dave at his best: slightly goofy, very visual, undeniably hilarious.
But instead most of his takes on the subject took the form of rambling diatribes that weren't always in the service of comedy. If you're going to reinvent yourself as some kind of truth teller then don't be surprised when you get held to a higher standard than a jobbing road comic.
It comes off a little disingenuous to say "I don't have an issue with trans people" when he's made them the uniting focus of so much of his recent work. I really wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have strong feelings about them either way but just settled on this approach as a way to generate some kind of controversy for an artist in need of an edgy comeback who's otherwise been quietly living as a multimillionaire for the last two decades. Which would be a shame, because I think he's too much of a naturally gifted comic to spend the second wind of his career rolling around in this nonsense.
Would also like to hear where actual black trans people stand on his material.
