Dave Chappelle: The Closer2021

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Closer stands out as one of the least woke specials in modern comedy. It challenges progressive orthodoxy, pokes fun at cultural sacred cows, and refuses to bend to Hollywood groupthink. Expect honest takes over sanitized virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The special prioritizes storytelling and punchlines over ticking diversity boxes. Chappelle’s material centers on his personal perspective, with race, gender, and sexuality discussed through honest, sometimes controversial, comedy, not just for moral grandstanding or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Chappelle defends free speech and addresses hot-button cultural issues without tiptoeing around traditional values. Religion, family, and masculinity are not dismissed or mocked, the humor targets everyone, but doesn’t undermine foundational cultural touchstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints and criticisms of dominant ideological trends are very much present. Chappelle voices non-woke perspectives and debates culture-war narratives head-on, pushing back against ideological conformity.
