Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021 TV Special)
5/10
Smiled a Few Times
6 October 2021
Dave Chapelle is an absolute legend and one of the greatest comedians of our generation. His 'Killing Them Softly' is hilarious and timeless, and his somewhat recent 'Bird Revelation' and 'Equanimity' had some great bits as well, along with '8:46' which was both relevant and important.

This one however, I felt like was about 5-6 years outdated and boring. What happened to his characters and well written, thought out jokes? The whole theme was just not interesting and it felt more like he read from a comment section online than actual experiences.

I don't even think he pushed the envelope as much as he used to, or had to chance to do here, and the whole special just felt so 2021-beat-around-the-bush-esque. Maybe he should chill with specials for a while after all...
