More from Dave Chappelle
"Somebody broke into my house once, this is a good time to call the police, but mm mm, nope. The house was too nice. It was a real nice house, but they'd never believe i lived in it. They'd be like 'He…"
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a critical observer."
"The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. 'I don't understand this person, so they're crazy.' That's bulls---, man. These people are not crazy, they're just not like you."
"My father told me, 'Son, if you want to be a man, you gotta learn to fight.' I said, 'Dad, I want to be a comedian.' He said, 'Same thing.'"

About Dave Chappelle (born 1973)
American comedian whose Chappelle's Show (2003-2006) reshaped 21st-century comedy and whose 2010s-2020s Netflix specials triggered debates over comedy and offense. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (predecessor in race-and-language American stand-up) and Eddie Murphy (1980s SNL trailblazer). For an intellectual contrast, see Hannah Gadsby, Australian comedian and Nanette creator — Nanette (2018) explicitly attacks the stand-up tradition Chappelle works within and treats traditional punchline comedy as a structure of power. Nanette and Chappelle's Sticks & Stones are the two most-discussed comedy specials of the late-2010s, taking opposite positions on whether stand-up structurally enables or excuses harm.
