    The transphobia stands out because it’s neither funny nor relevant - there’s no purpose to it other than to be a cunt performatively.

    The Lil Nas X song he talks about is what - 2 years old now? Beyond that, the “jokes” are the same thing the daily wire has been rolling out for years - “He has a penis and thinks he’s a she hurrr durrr.”

    Then there was the whole “If I went to prison, I’d say I’m a woman and rape everyone in sight” hilarity.

    Has he ever told a funny trans joke?

      That last joke I freaking hate. I swear it’s so goddamned lazy. I’m watching a regular YouTuber talk about some random topic and he decides to chat with his audience and he makes the exact same joke. “Hur dur, if I go jail I’d identity as a women and be super woke cause that’s all they care about now and I’ll get off scot-free”.

      I hate it.

        I think “joke“ is a stretch with that one - it’s not original, not funny, and delivers no meaningful commentary beyond “I’d be a rapist if I thought I could get away with it.”

        Chapelle was a decent comedian when he talked about what he knew and had something to say, but this is just pitiful.
