It was obvious the Chappelle Show was aimed for a non-black audience...2021 nikkas just now figuring out why Dave retired from the Chappelle show
You nikkas are some real bozos. Did you even know Dave turned down a sitcom on ABC because they tried to change the starring female role from black to white to appeal to more white people?
Dave did his show for cool, smart people regardless of color. He started feeling uncomfortable when the white bro idiots started being a bigger part of the audience.
I'm talking specifically about the Chappelle Show
Nobody is acting he’s Robin Harris or Bernie Mac, folks are revising his comedic history like he’s Key And Peele or Childish Gambino. He was malleable and thought a lot of other comedy shows were corny. That didn’t make him any less popular with black ppl. People are equating his malleability with not being able to hold down a black crowd or not having black viewership. How easy is it to get on Def Comedy Jam in the 90s, Irregardless if that was his vehicle to stardom or not?
IDK what this means. I know nobody was talking about Chapelle pre show like that in the black community like those dudes.
He was big enough in the black community to be offered a spot on The Kings of Comedy which he turned down.
This is the ignorance i keep speaking about. Y’all make these proclamations from ignorance.
3 of those dudes were on network sitcoms. One was a staple on comedy specials and popular hood movies. Dave had half baked
BET and TV One do not simply have "more black people" as workers.
They were both founded by black business people (Robert Johnson and Cathy Hughes, respectively),
and their programming has been historically targeted towards black people specifically.
Comedy Central was founded by white programming execs, and has been demographically targeted towards white male viewers since its inception.
Btw, Kevin Hart turned down a Comedy Central offer to produce Real Husbands of Hollywood for BET. So for some black people, actual black ownership/control matters over lip service militancy.
That seems to be the new narrative being spun. I mean, I’ve heard ppl say it before all of this, but it was alway considered a very unpopular narrative that was often shutdown and ridiculed. I wonder what changed?![]()
The Coli cares. There are multiple trans threads posted everydayTalking about trans people is some white people shyt. I ain’t gon lie… who gives a fukk about trannys. Let’s talk about something more interesting other than Trannys.
You can rate Chapelle specials by how many times he uses the mic to slap his thigh and signal to the audience to laugh. He did that about 220 times this special, the most amount, making this special the least funny of his.
killing them softly, had one thigh slap.
we had a thread yesterday about renewable energy in west africa that got a total of 10 replies
