Dave Chappelle in Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021)
This is Dave. He tells jokes for a living. Driving down these country roads is a lot like a meditation. He's deep in thought. Back in the trance...

    Another one!

    Another stellar special by Chappelle. He goes all in once again.

    Terrific

    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.

    Daphne you are a legend, wherever you are.

    I get why Dave is taking a break; the world is becoming a stranger place; i just hope we can all do better in the future.

    Great critique, great homage, great closer.

    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.

    So much better than expected

    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.
