Summary
© 2019 NBC NEWS.COMToward the end of Dave Chappelle’s controversial new Netflix comedy special “Sticks and Stones,” there’s an eight-minute section about guns. The problem now with Dave Chappelle is he’s a birdshot sniper in a buckshot society.He’s a genius who leaves you just uncomfortable enough, laughing while you squirm. This echoes the sentiment of a New York Times column from last month, critiquing a similar Chapelle comedy set, which declares his jokes are “getting old.” But did Chappelle change, or did we?Let’s dig into “Sticks and Stones.” As is often the case with Chappelle, the special deals heavily with celebrity-tinged current events. Good discomfort is in short supply.This is ultimately what much of Chappelle’s comedy explores — how and when comedians are “allowed” to make certain jokes.
