He's essentially as close to Carlin as we're likely to see.
There's also Josh Johnson.
Jack Johnson's brother?
No idea who Jack is, but Josh is a stand-up comedian who has been releasing a new hour of topical material on a near weekly basis for the last few years.
lol jack Johnson from early 2000 music, curious George soundtrack.
Shhh, that's what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he's said recently about trans people
Honestly the most annoying thing about the trans people shit is he just goes on and ON about it, and his jokes about it aren’t even that funny if you’re trying to look at it from a bigoted perspective. Like it’s not good material. It’s BORING dude. Why do like two whole specials where half of the time is you talking about it.
I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.
I assure you people did say that, particularly on Reddit, after his 8:46 set. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he wasn't pretty popular at one time. The Chappelle Show could have kept going, it had strong viewership. When Dave returned to comedy after his hiatus he was mostly liked. And when he did his 8:46 set about George Floyd, his popularity hit an all-time high with everyone but the alt-right.
You're not wrong about him being a jackass, and I would say bigoted more than racist, since his hate is broader than racism. But yes, people did laude him, for a brief time
I honestly thought Louis CK was going to take up the Carlin mantle. But instead he invited people up to his hotel room to watch him wank onto a mantle.
From what we know so far, Bill Burr is in a stable relationship and is a good parent. I want to believe that's true.
Even if they didn't know it.
Dave is an absolutely world class comedian, but I believe (and I'm pretty sure most of Lemmy would agree) his personal politics are trash.
Bill Burr is also a world class comedian, but I like most of his personal politics.
The problem is that unlike writing, music and movies unless you are on stage doing a "character" your personal politics IS your act and its very hard to separate the art and the artist.
