People who are liked by pretty much everyone

Dave Chappelle

Not many stand ups could get away with doing a cover version of Creep and still have the crowd cheering them on without them even telling a joke.

He hates Trans people, probably not liked by pretty much everyone (if you read news articles and not actually watch things in context).

Dave Chappelle

No. Not at all.

 

[craigos]

Don't think anyone is more widely loved than the doctor in motorsport. For a local take I'd probably add Mick Doohan.

 

[craigos]

No. Not at all.

As a side note, I'd be interested to know who you like as comedians.

 

[Chief]

There's quite a list.

Bill Bailey. Aaron Chen. Romesh Ranganathan. James Acaster (a ton of the UK TV regulars) Shaun Micallef. (Sp?) Billy Connolly. Frankie Boyle. Gary Gulman. A couple of dozen more. Some have more complex comedy than others.

Chappy isn't really up there these days.

Aaron Chen is horrific imo, have seen him pop up on a couple of things. I don't know if it's because he has a look that he is funny but nothing he has ever said is mildly amusing.

In any case, not a chance in hell that Dave Chapelle is liked by pretty much everybody.

Pretty sure no musician, comedian, politician or actor will ever be.

See thread title.

Dave Chappelle huh? He's not liked by at least 17 people...

Dave Chappelle was in the news for ripping on transpersons

Yeah he was in the news for ripping on transpersons by people that didn't listen to all of his stand up routines to get the whole context of what he said.

They take a soundbite of one of his stand up routines and try and make it out that Dave Chappelle is transphobic or homophobic and then hate on him.

I guess I was wrong, Dave Chappelle isn't liked by everyone as not everyone is smart enough to get what he is saying and in the context he says it in.

 

[Plugger35]

Funny how I mentioned Norm Macdonald as a stand up that was liked by everyone and no one said a thing, he said way worse stuff than Dave Chappelle

Us woke peeps will need to look that up so we can hate

 

[HairyO]

Hugh Jackman is loved by everyone other than Perry Cox.

Thats as close as you can get to universal.

Also, Nudge from Hey Dad.

Bernard Black not a fan.

Dylan Moran: 'I don't care about Dave Chappelle - a strutting male ego is deeply boring'

As he returns to sitcoms (kind of) with his new show Stuck, the comedian and Black Books star talks politics, ageing and so-called cancel culture

inews.co.uk

I bring up American superstar comedian Dave Chappelle, highly criticised for his anti-trans material. A transgender comedian, Daphne Dorman, mentioned by Chappelle in a Netflix special, died by suicide in 2019 following a social media controversy. “I don’t care about Dave Chappelle,” says Moran. “I just don’t care about a man’s willingness to defend his ego. If you have something of the moment to say that is useful, then great. What is offensive, and deeply boring, is a strutting male ego, setting out the signs of what he thinks his position should be and using issues that really do matter to people.


“And they’re not just issues, but blood and bone and facts of life for these people. And if you’re talking about them as a desk toy or something to amuse you with, and you’re an extremely influential powerful figure, and now someone is dead, then I might have an issue with that. Because that is not the same thing.”

I'll always remember him for this train wreck.

Yeah, but that delivery though...

 

[Dan Moody]

I'll always remember for this train wreck.

Jesus, what the **** was that?
Even if this was intended to be awkward comedy, it was horrible.
Still, the watermark in the bottom right of the screen explains it all

I remember this and people claiming it was somehow brilliant as it was actually intended. Missed the boat due to the fact it missed the key criteria for something like this, is to actually be funny.

Almost like he watched a Borat clip on youtube and thought "easy".

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah, but that delivery though...

His delivery was smooth when he was on tv, on the road his delivery wasn't quite so smooth, he didn't pull any punches.

Jim Breuer tells a great infamous story of when he, Darrell Hammond and Norm went on tour to an Iowa college back in their SNL days in the 90s.
