Not Funny

Super unfunny. Stand-up comedians, for some reason, think that their opinions on cultural phenomena are insightful or desired, but they are not

Many right-wingers complain that celebs delve into politics (because most celebs are leftists) and insist that they "shut up and act/dribble". Well, I actually agree with that sentiment. Sometimes stand-up comics reach a level of success and respect that they think that just giving their opinions and lazily writing half baked ;) jokes around those opinions qualifies as both doing their jobs AND giving pithy social commentary

I don't find political comics like John Oliver funny or insightful, much less do I find has-beens like Chappelle to be either

Bullshit. Chappelle is hilarious. He's just pissing off the snowflakes because he's declared war on political correctness and woke culture. So if he triggers you, you're part of the problem.

Chappelle is currently one of the highest paid stand up comedians in the world. Not sure that qualifies as a "has-been".
