Dave Chapelle: The Age of Spin & Deep in the Heart of Texas
Streaming on Netflix.
Dave Chapelle is among those who risk doing politically incorrect comedy - I don't know if he has become more PC in the recent years. He is not as brutal as Bill Burr though, but he has his moments. A lot of his jokes are very cultural specific, so someone who is not as well versed with American culture - might not enjoy a lot of his act. His callbacks are solid - in the Age of Spin - there is the man who rapes but saves set up which he does in the starting 20 minutes or so and he calls it back when he talks about Bill Cosby - that was solid. And him biting the sandwiches in the Texas one. His sexual jokes come suddenly out of nowhere, and I think that's what makes it work. The 'shooting love on chest' one was hilarious. Also the entire act about jacking off in the Texas special. He also makes very interesting faces, which makes his delivery very engaging. He has this unpredictable style, where suddenly it seems like he's talking about something serious - because he did talk serious a couple of times - and out of nowhere he throws a lame ass joke.
