Really like the Chapelle special after not liking the last 2 he’s released on Netflix.
Lots of comparisons to Carlin and I agree. He speaks about current social issues and makes thought provoking points that are then intentionally exaggerated and intended to be over the top and offensive.
As Carlin explained that essentially what comedy is. Taking something we all recognize or relate to and then adding a ridiculous exaggeration to the punchline. It’s never meant to be taken literally but has to have at least some truth to it or the audience won’t relate and won’t find it funny. His bit about abortion and child support is the perfect example of this.
