Makes it so easy to find the people who don't give a fuck about women when they suck the Saudi teats so openly

Chappelle has always been tone-deaf about many things, he's just more obvious about it since he's older. Glad more and more people are noticing his hypocrisy

Jim Jefferies, Jimmy Carr, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson... I was surprised to see these names on the lineup, what a bunch of sellouts.

This is from their contracts (found on https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-30/riyadh-comedy-festival-begins-with-pete-davidson-bill-burr/105833686):

I invite you to stay there, Mr. Chappelle.

Bad title. He's criticizing the state of free speech in America citing the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation and people fired / cancelled over Charlie Kirk speech.

So what did he actually say?

“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

Well, that sounds... accurate. Doesn't excuse the other things he's said, but... yea.

Edit: I stand by the first part of my comment. I was not paying enough attention to the second half ("it's easier to talk here..."). That part, not so much.

He referenced the Charlie Kirk situation. He didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He's nothing more than a rightwing propagandist these days.

That's not what free speech is. The government has never attacked Chapelle for his speech.

His bigoted shit just isn't funny to GenZ and they don't mind telling him.

It's our right to Freedom of Association he has an issue with.

Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I’ll bet ya a whole dollar that he doesn’t know who Jamal Khashoggi was.

I used to love chapel. Now not so much. He drank the Joe Rogan kool-aid

Excessive income causes brain damage

Aw man Bill Burr went too? Goddammit.

I mean ... a TV host just got fired/scathed/re-hired for talking about the fallout of a murder at a political rally.

So ... maybe the USA is not doing well with free speech.

So I use to live in Riyadh and worked for a defense company. I left during covid and seen a lot of hate filled shit there. The people in general, were very nice but I'm an American and male.

My wife is not an American or Saudian. She would be harrassed and even hit by the locals. They looked down on her unless I was around.

At work, I would routine run into non-Americans/Saudians. Holy shit did they treat them bad. From forcing them to do degrading stuff or just belittle them in public.

Those were just the "normal" people. The royal family members were on a completely different level. Everyone used encrpyted chat services and if you posted about anything illegal, expect the Matowa (secret police) to visit your ass.

Fuck all those going there and speaking all rosey for blood money.

he hated that he was called out for being a transphobic person, thats the real reason. now that hes in a country that hates lgbtq+ he feels welcomed.

He made fun of trans people and trans people pushed back.

If you support trans people in Saudi Arabia the government throws you in jail.

“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

I love your comedy Dave, but the sell-out you’ve become invalidates your position as a truth-teller right when America needs you the most. You built your career on raw talent and hard work without bowing to your masters at Comedy Central, and you don’t need to do this either. If you ever manage to un-sew your lips from the royal prince’s gold-shitting anus, please come back to us.

Obligatory take from another of my favorite comedians.

Isn't he the piece of shit that was enjoying that someone that interrupted his show because of the shit he was saying, got heavily beaten up by security?

What happened to this guy? Like seriously. He went away and then came with this fucking terminal brainrot and he just can't stop saying stupid shit

Dear Dave Chepple, Billy Burka, and the rest of hypocrite moralless indignified sellouts:

You have looted blood money from the taxes of oppressed unrepresented beheaded people in a dictatorship. The executioner asked you to dance to distract the world and cover up the blood of slaughtered protestors and humanright activists for him while he beheads them. And you gladly obliged.

So just answer my questions with your freedom of speech Dave.

You know you were not paid by the "6000" attendees. The tickets cost from $13 to $80 for the whole week with each day featuring more than 1 comic.

So how did you alone get paid $1.6millions Dave? What's the name of this organizing company? Where did they get this money from which they gave to dance Dave? Why is this Muslim Arabic country overpaying international celebeities to perform there? Not humanright washing... no.. no.

What happened to the Saudi citizens who complained about their wealth in billions of dollars going to overpaid LIV athletes, boxing athletes, soccer, esports kids, Hiphop concerts, and now you Dave?

Riiiiight, man I used to like him

Bill Burr is the only one that really got to me. I loved that guy. But I just can't see him the same way anymore

"It’s easier to talk here than it is in America,"

Yeah, as long as you don't say anything about the imprisonments and murders without fair trial, religious intolerance, or make fun of the kings Mu'umu'u.

meanwhile....
