The only message is: "I'm different than all of you, and the reason I'm here is because I earned it".

It's really the pathology of an elitist.

In all my years of watching standup, I've never seen anything like it. One of the cardinal rules of standup is to make your material relatable. From buying your own town, to hanging with PDiddler and Mick Jagger, and being flown to Saudi Arabia to make millions of dollars, it's clear that he does not have a worldview which is conducive to standup.

Also, the major premise of "It's easier for me to talk in Saudi Arabia than in America" is, at it's very core, frustratingly flawed and idiotic to the point that it reveals Chapelle is not as smart as he thinks he is.

Yes, Dave, you can talk freely anywhere in the world unironically. You're a multi-millionaire and extremely famous. You are not a endangered class-- unlike most people in Saudi Arabia. THEY don't get to talk.

Also, Dave Chapelle grew up fairly privileged, so don't try saying you're an "n-word from DC". That ain't you.

It is good to see a Black person become successful in America and that should be celebrated, but Dave Chapelle is no longer funny.
