Three of the worlds biggest comedians Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais all released specials that drew controversy during the last year. While all three have received Emmy recognition in the past, only one of them received a nod on Tuesday for his latest high-profile work. Chappelles controversial Netflix special The Closer is nominated for variety special and directing for a variety special.

Chappelles The Closer drew criticism for language criticized as transphobic and caused a walkout at Netflix. Yet he has defended the work, including with the recent release of a 40-minute speech on Netflix last week. Despite the controversy, The Closer nabbed two guild award nominations at the beginning of the year, from both the Directors Guild of America and Producers Guild of America. Previously, Chappelle has won five Emmys. He also received a nod last year for 8:46 Dave Chappelle in the outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) category.


Good for him, it was a well put together special imo

Making jokes is fine, but his entire personality has become mocking the transgender community.

Nah. Also if everyone stopped giving him ammo the jokes would end and he'd have to move on.

You're the one crying because you think you were called out. Why would you think you might be a transphobe?

So weird that after his whole career the transphobia is gonna be his legacy. Back in the day he made two of the best stand up specials EVER made. He had fascinating stories to tell, as seen on Inside the Actors Studio. And now its just this.

It IS however transphobic to make "jokes" where the punchline is calling trans people crazy, misgendering them, saying we're lying about ourselves, insulting our genitals, or otherwise just making the punchline be "trans people exist, eww!"... All of which he's done. Oh, and it's also pretty obvious what you're doing here, defending him and his blatant transphobia.

I'm sure he has answered these questions in interviews before, but I do wonder how he would respond to similar styles of "jokes" against black people.

It is sad that a person who is a member of one marginalized group feels it necessary to demean those of a different marginalized group. But that is how systemic oppression works. Get all marginalized groups to attack one another to avoid the real issues.

The whole fucking off to Africa thing was inspired by a white guy laughing weird at a sketch they were shooting for Chappelles show involving black stereotypes. He's a fucking hypocrite.

What's funny about misgendering a dead transgender woman? Go ahead, explain that joke of his.

Just because you find his bits transphobic, which is perfectly acceptable to have an opinion on, doesn't make them so. They're jokes, it's not like he's out there trying to rally people against trans.

They are transphobic, though. And if you don't think anything he's said is transphobic, that's because you are.

Ricky Gervais' special was MUCH better. I love the way his jokes aren't really jokes, and how it's basically just him holding up a mirror and killing people with logic.

AHAHAHAHAAA

No, insulting your genitals is not transphobic at all, or even physically possible, but thats the funniest way you could possibly phrase that.

"Insulting our genitals", good lord.

Is this just so he can lose and the Emmy's can pat themselves on the back about how progressive they are?

Because The Closer was ****. Dave Chapelle is funny, his other Netflix specials were funny. But The Closer was an hour+ of Chapelle shitting on a marginalized group, every trans joke was bottom-tier basic-b**** jokes and it was so obvious this entire special was just Chapelle trying to flex on like, the 13 year olds on twitter who don't like him. Like The Closer wasn't a comedy special - it was a "lets give Dave an hour to talk **** about strangers who don't like him"

And the whole ending just felt tasteless where he was rubbing his dead trans "friend" in a "I can't be racist I have a black friend" way. And then some stuff came out after the special suggesting Chapelle and his "friend" weren't actually as good friends as he suggested (which I mean, he says in his special he didn't even know they had a kid)
