The Saudis flew airplanes into the twin towers. Not very funny.

Did irony die again right there?

When you've already got that much money, why are you selling your dignity?

Don't worry, Dave, MBS has arranged for you to be sent home as luggage. 🤦‍♂️ How d'ya like that joke?

Didn't the Saudis just execute a journalist for criticising the government?

Tfw your old comedy routines have aged well, but you haven't.

Mental illness presents in different ways, as does evil. Sometimes they overlap.

I used to imitate this line read all the time.

Dave was once a very funny guy, now he's just an asshole troll.

If we could simply harness the power of George Carlin spinning in his grave, we could power the sun itself at this point

We knew he was a scumbag already

Neither journalists nor Dave were not allowed to reach MBS for comment.

Dave literally signed a contract with a list of things he's not allowed to talk about in order to perform this set deadline.com/2025/09/atsu...

In Saudi Arabia? Really?

I’ve said this so many goddamn times… it’s the most obnoxious bullshit ever. Whatever the “joke” is, Chappelle has told that same exact joke how many times in front of how many crowds prior to a recording, and he’s still tapping the mic on he knee? He probably bottles his farts for personal use…

who was in the audience, can't be many people who actually went for the festival... the room was empty aside from other comedians and MBS and his henchmen?

Anything for the almighty dollar. Disgraceful.

Oh, we're well past that.

Dave who?

…. where the contract stipulates what you can’t make jokes about - like slavery and the shitty human rights record.

What a dipshit.

Why yes, that pointless and wrong opinion will be unpopular.

being rich fundamentally changes whether taking money is a need you have to make compromises for or something you can freely choose not to do

It really is different when they are rich. Because it means they have the privilege of choosing where to get more money. They can float on wealth for longer than I can. They can make a podcast and do well based on the fact they are famous. And dave has the audacity to compare freedom of speech?

I'm aware of every reason. Pete Davidson dated a Kardashian, father died in 9/11, and took Saudi money. Not as much attention on him. People are evading the point. What are you doing, right now, to stop the horrors that Trump is inflicting on America? Celebrity is not real. This is.

My point is being evaded. We are under our own regime and people are not willing to give up their place/position to take to the streets, fearful of losing those things. Black people have always put our lives on the line, for all. We had no place or position/ choice. What are YOU willing to give up?

I believe we are as despicable if we do nothing. America is built upon a despicable history and is trying its best to rival even that history. I care about what we are doing to change that narrative, as a whole. Celebrity culture is make believe. This is real.

How much more money did Dave need to be ok with slavery?

We aren’t going to Riyadh to promote a murderous regime, so that’s something

Irony is officially dead 💀

Privilege got the better of him. 🤨 That looks tacky to me. 🤦

Saudi Arabia can keep him.

Irony is dead.

"And what's the deal with these poor people trying to live in my town?"

Oh wow a rare anti-trans day for Mr. Chapelle.

Going through the time machine, Dave Chappelle will perform at the 1938 Hitler Comedy Festival in Nuremberg, Germany.

when you don't have talent you rely on offense.... Earlier someone started the game Name that smell in 3 words to a picture of Stephen Miller. My answer: 6 million cadavers. Let's do Dave Chappelle. My answer: complicit avarice funk

Say a joke about the crown prince, Davey! A really vulgar one about his wife and a camel walking into a bar....

These comedians have taken the bite out of anything they have to say about free speech from now on. They have NERFED themselves forever. lol

He's welcome to stay in Saudi Arabia. See how long his free speech lasts.

Boom! He's a punching down, NIMBY bitching asshole.

Pretty sure those payments are coming due too, so he’s gotta trade off that goodwill to keep his thumbs from the loan sharks

He was funny to me, and remains at times funny. The problem is he can tell a good joke, then be up-his-own-ass cruel while thinking he's telling a joke. His baggage is set down on stage with him, and he refuses to unpack it and put it away.

My fav comedian. RIH!

The funniest thing on the whole damn show was a story Charlie Murphy told Fuck Chapelle in the past, present and future

I mean, that’s also his fault for abruptly abandoning his show and employees to go hide in SA

Take the money and run!

Chappelle needs a visit from the Mabahith so they can initiate him in the Saudi “freedom of speech”.

Lol

Dw we're quickly heading to their level

And everybody actually laughed when he made jokes about becoming republican since becoming rich.

If it's so great, he should probably just stay.

“No mBS” is just the absolute guillotine here. My god

Respectfully, he can go fuck himself.

My understanding is that they were told they couldn't criticize the Saudi government in the show. Free speech, huh?

Good point

JFC jumping all the sharks.

He's not funny anyway

Is he going home in one piece?

He’s such a turd.

Giving new currency to the idea that he went crazy in '06 and still hasn't recovered

Dave Chappelle and all of the rest of the comedians who performed for the Saudis just go to show that there isn't much that people won't do if you give them enough money.

Does everyone always have to come to the wrong conclusion? I mean, always, everybody, everywhere?

He is a hypocritical shitbag.

If Dave Chappelle was able to experience the same rapturous deliverance from the oppressive hand of American schoolmarmishness that Jamal Khashoggi experienced at the hands of Chapelle’s paymasters, I’m sure he would be full of gratitude and thanks

What a fucking clown.

World's most unfunny sellout tapdancing for his masters once again.

The Saudis executed a journalist for criticizing the government on Twitter LAST MONTH. Fuck those sellout comedians. Great piece by Khashoggi’s friend & colleague @karenattiah.bsky.social. karenattiah.substack.com/p/jamal-khas...

Omg wow

I think of his fiancé waiting in the car for him. Breaks my heart.😢

Dave never heard of him

And not just murdered, dismembered.

Hate him now. Money is a horrific drug to some people. I have met a couple of them. It is scary. It is very very sad.

This place is the worst! youtu.be/NZXhWBn1Fzs?...

how much did Netflix pay him again?

Wow Marc Marron really nailed these losers. www.tiktok.com/@marcdmaron/...

It's easy to be so pissed off at the familiar litterbug that you conclude the creep across town (who you barely know) must be a better person.

Dave should be ashamed of himself

This fucking guy is not funny. Maybe i caught an off netflix performance, but shit. Just fucking boring

I used to think he was really smart.

In Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Pedophile's are beheaded.

What a piece of shit. Used to have morals but those were obviously bought

TBF, "know your audience" and "read the room."

So sad

Dave sucks now anyway

All about the $$

Dave Chappelle is overrated- we would never buy tickets to see him! Richard Pryor would be disappointed in him and all US comedians for even performing in Saudi Arabia- all about greed for them!

If he made that joke, he'd find out IMMEDIATELY what it really means to be in a country where the head of state decides what you can say and what you can't. A joke like that is literally illegal there. And the punishment is no slap on the wrist. It might even be illegal to laugh at such a joke...!

Oh he's had more than enough to retire on for years now. The Netflix specials alone allowed for that.

Another minstrel for their racist little show. I'm so over these sell outs.

Tell Dave to stay. We don’t need him.

Just captures everything doesn't it

What a complete dipshit. Fame and notoriety have corrupted this guy's soul.

Perhaps he was being sarcastic. I would need to see and hear how he delivered the joke.

Comedian Atsuka Okatsuka said

Anything. Anything for money. 🙄😑

If you replace "free speech" with "fascist speech" it all becomes clearer as Chappelle sells out, enabling and normalizing abuse and oppression of scapegoats at every opportunity while he pretends his wealth will somehow keep the leopards he serves away. bsky.app/profile/thr....
