Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled peoplelocked
independent.co.uk
Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.
“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).
It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.
That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.
He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

Here he is introducing (and inadvertently humiliating) his friend Elon, who he shares a shocking amount of awful views with:

Chappelle still tries to act like he's one of the disenfranchised black people, while living in a mansion and hanging out with Elon Musk.
Money literally rotts the brain. Study after study shows wealthy people become more sociopathic as they accumulate more wealth and power. We shouldn't cap wealth just because it's morally right, it also prevents those in power from becoming all consuming sociopaths.
I saw that when the news broke and it was glorious. Sadly, it taught Elon absolutely nothing.
