Dave Chappelle: The Closer

It takes courage to do this set, even for Dave Chappelle. He did a brilliant job. A true master of walking the fine line and this might be the last time you see him do it in a while.

Was it the funniest special? With the most jokes? - No, probably not.

Was it captivating and entertaining? - Hell, yes!

As most people have already understood: Dave Chappelle is not JUST jokes (anymore). He kind of transcended comedy in the past few years and grew into his role as a great story teller who holds the mirror up to society, talking about sensitive topics, making controversial statements while keeping his great punchlines. And you could feel that this special was particularly important to him.

For sure, I have laughed more in other specials of his but this doesn't mean the jokes or the special itself weren't as good, it's just different and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Although I understand and appreciate him talking about these sensitive and sometimes serious topics, I also hope we get to see him more light-hearted in the future again.

Dave has always been current, provocative, and funny asf and all in a good way since his days on the Chapelle show.

Then in 2020, he got a bit serious and perhaps a bit angrier with a show or two when we needed him the most during the riots, which was a bit of a disappointment to me. I thought he had lost his edge. However, The Closer showed that he didn't lose his edge, but is back in a strong sense with NFG.

This was so refreshing to see a comedian talk about whatever topic and not worry if he would get canceled. I hope more people will take notice and speak their minds and truth and not worry about consequences.

Definitely a must-watch.

Dave Chapelle does it again and nails his final act for his Netflix's productions. Dave is, yet again, precise on his social jokes that people shouldn't stop taking them seriously and consider what he means by that, before Dave wouldn't say anything about them, he would probably hope that people would get what he meant, years went by and he noticed that people are THAT dull, so now he points out, and I might be misquoting, "Don't take what I say literally, understand that what I am saying is a critique to our society".

Dave doesn't backs down, nor does he pull the punches on the things he argues that are being done wrong, but he also points out what they are doing wrong.

I'm glad someone like Dave Chapelle exists and I am also glad that he stepped down for now, I don't know what his next projects will be, but I think he should leave the scene, at least for these specials, for some time. People should absorb what he said, specially those that he is criticising, otherwise, if he kept doing these shows, his words would be for nothing.

This is different. It's not extremely funny. It's Dave saying things that he personally needed to say.
