As someone who's always appreciated Dave Chappelle but never really absorbed him like many people my age, watching this special had me rolling.

Watched it. Never made me audibly laugh, but it was okay. I think being a recluse for all these years has made Dave a bit out of touch.
Just watched, lmao at the " they were performing some kind of gay CPR" part

Watched the first special at work today again and I was rolling.
The joke about being boo'd in Detroit and buying all that gum so people can chew something and still be hungry.....dead, insert Pinocchio gif
Dude is what, 7 years older than me? Maybe a little older so I can totally relate to that wheaties box part.
Someone groaned at one of his jokes and he was like "you better toughen up, cause it's going to get worse"
Then of course all the things people had problems with in this thread but I'm beginning to think people think things are funny until they can relate to what is the joke, which then suddenly said jokes are not funny. I'm honestly surprised more people are mad at transgender jokes than Dave dropping the F bomb.
OJ stories, also funny.

Watched both today. They were both great.
Dave still got it haha. I hope he shows up more often instead of going away for another 7 years.

Preferred the second but both were great, he's at his best when he's a bit angry about something imo.
My other observation was that Chapelle is just getting old. He's going to be an excellent old grumpy man comedian in 15 years.

Getting old will do that to you as well.

Second one is definitely better. Better material, better delivery, and better audience. The first audience got hilariously awkward during some of his spiels and you could tell they weren't in it. Second crowd was feeling it more.

what impressed me the most is what seemed his ability to understand his audience and improvise then seemingly flow back into his structure without an obvious notice.
I'm talking the part in 2nd episode where he was making pussy jokes and he got 2 hecklers during that part, they warent yelling any hate it was like "we love you Dave" from a lady, he gave her a little verbal beatdown which is the right thing to do, but it seemed to genuinely stress him out and make sit down, have a smoke and ask "does me saying pussy offend you" to the crowd then naturally freestyles from there and did a really good job.
What I gathered was he seen that as "We as Women love you Dave, please don't joke like we are just objects" and then while staying on Pussy jokes changed his tone on the fly to a much less misogynistic tone about how he finds it funny how little Wayne says "Pussy Juicey"
It really showed me this man is a true talent for that little wrinkle ironing

I expected them to be better but good stuff. My favorite joke was the white feminism one "You was in on the heist, you just didn't like your cut!". Sums up some of the racist ass suffragettes from early last century too.
Saw this on Andre's twitter feed. Him, Jeff Ross, Chappelle, and Rock all on the same bill tonight in New Orleans. Must've been an insane show. Hurry up and release those Rock specials Netflix!
TIL Eric Andre is dating Rosario Dawson.

First episode was terrible, second was pretty much perfect.
Only good part in the first were the cuts to DMX's girl.
that's who that was?? lol I looked at her reactions each time it showed her.
So I watched both and while I'll enjoy anything Dave puts out I kinda felt it wasn't up to par as Dave's previous work. Killing them softly, For What its worth aside I even think his Half-Hour was superior to the both netflix shows. Felt like it had a lot of ups and downs whereas those shows rarely had lows. Let's hope the 3rd one is his best and can stand next to his legendary KTS and FWIW specials.

Rewatched both last night with friends
I think the 1st one is still the strongest. Even funnier than the first viewing because of the unique way its structured.

Finished both and really enjoyed them. First is definitely the better of the two. The weaving of OJ jokes into the narrative was masterful, and the Bill Cosby final punchline is simply a knockout. I would have cut the gay man movie idea, that was the only bit that felt weak to me. Very strong set with no hyperbole the best punchline I've ever heard. Only way to improve this would to be tweaking the delivery of the movie idea bit.
In the second one, I like the vibe of the show a lot what with him chilling with a cig and shooting the shit. I thought his LGBT jokes were weak - I think its a consequence of him wrestling with not being able to say what he really wants to say. For example in the Netflix version he says "but to what degree do I have to participate in your self-image?" whereas in a leaked recording of the same bit from a few months ago he says "but to what degree do I have to participate in your fantasy?" I know Dave wants to be contemporary and to an extent edgy, but I don't think its working out with this topic.

Just got done watching the first one. Pretty good. The Kevin Hart and OJ stuff was hilarious.

I love how he gives his son a nerdy white voice for no reason.
