In his brand-new Netflix special, Dave Chappelle made fun of transgender people, just as he had promised.
Although his seventh Netflix special, “The Dreamer,” starts off with a somewhat nostalgic look at his rise to fame, he quickly changed the subject by relating his encounter with Jim Carrey, one of his comedy heroes, while visiting the “Man on the Moon” set.
“I wanted to meet Jim Carrey, who was method acting,” but I had to act like Andy Kaufman instead. During his special, which started airing on Sunday, he thought back on the entire day.
“I could see that he was Jim Carrey when I looked at him.”
“Yeah, I say all that to say: That’s how trans people make me feel,” he concluded.
After declaring he wouldn’t, Dave Chappelle filled his new Netflix special, “The Dreamer,” with trans jokes.
Following his account, Chappelle, 50, vowed not to discuss trans people after his previous comments got him into trouble for offending the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies.
He warned his audience, “You’ve come to the wrong show if you came here to this show tonight thinking I’m going to make fun of those people again.”
“I’m no longer f—king with those people. The trouble wasn’t worth it,” He declared. “I’m not saying anything about them.”

“I’m no longer f—king with those people. The trouble wasn’t worth it. I won’t say anything negative about them.”
“Even three or four times now, but that’s all,” he said. “I’m sick of bringing them up.”
The “Chappelle’s Show” alum clarified that he has stopped talking about them because “people acted like [he] needed them to be funny.”
Instead, he said, “I’ll stop making fun of people with disabilities because I love ‘punching down.'”
Also, “that’s ridiculous,” he said. “I don’t need you. I’m about to take a completely new angle.”
“You guys won’t ever see this coming, I assure you. I won’t be making trans jokes anymore.”
However, he happily declared that he would then begin making fun of the disabled community because “they’re not as organized as the homosexuals.”
He added, “And I enjoy punching down.”
Soon after, Chappelle resumed talking about the trans community and described his attempts to mend his connection with them.
“I wrote a play. I did. Because I know that gay people love plays,” he said.
He continued, “It’s about a dark trans woman whose pronoun is sadly ‘n—a,'” calling it “sad” but “moving.” “It’s a tear-jerker, really.”

“She dies of grief at the play’s conclusion because white progressives are unable to communicate with her. It’s depressing.”
Chappelle continued by making a joke about going to prison and claiming to be female if he ever did.
“Take me to a women’s prison. You know what I’m going to be doing as soon as I get in there,” he happily explained.
He added that he wants to pass for a woman if ever incarcerated in order to make inmates “swallow this girl d—k I got.”
“I’m a woman, too, bitch, just like you. He imagined himself demanding, ‘Come here and swallow this woman d—k I got.'”
“Don’t make me explain myself, please. I’m a woman.”
To top it all off, the actor from “A Star Is Born” recalled being attacked on stage at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022 by someone brandishing a fake weapon.

He made fun of the attacker by bringing up the LGBTQIA+ community and saying that the knife “identified as a gun.”
He joked that he “could have been raped” after learning that his attacker was gay.
Allies of the LGBTQIA+ community harshly criticized the Netflix special, which was filmed in Chappelle’s hometown of Washington, D.C. One person took to social media to call him a “pathetic emulator,” while another referred to his performance as “another s—y stand-up special.”
