Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Chappelle’s special prioritizes storytelling, comedy, and authentic perspective over identity-driven box-ticking. Characters and jokes are based on real-life observations rather than ideological quotas; nothing feels forced or shoehorned for PR value.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Chappelle frequently discusses topics like race, gender, and culture, but he does so with irreverence and balance, occasionally lampooning all sides. There’s no overt effort to mock traditional values, though he doesn’t avoid controversy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a distinct lack of ideological uniformity. The special often pokes fun at both progressive and traditional perspectives, demonstrating pluralism and rarely portraying dissent as villainy. Chappelle actively invites debate through humor.
