Cory Holcomb - "Dave Chappelle is overrated"

Its very different. Chappelle got a series of one for one deals based on real time performance. Pro vets get long term guaranteed deals on projections. If Dave starts to tank and no one tunes in to his specials or buys tickets the deals stop. Embiid will get every penny he signs for whether he plays, performs, or people show up or not. Again, bad comp.

Literally everything you said was just flat out wrong. Daves current success has absolutely ZERO to with TCS and everything to do with his current social relevance and specials which sellout in minutes of being announced. And by no objective metric is Corey remotely in his class. Not one. Saying its "subjective" is head in the sand nonsense to support a completely nonsensical opinion.

LOL there is no Objective way to say you think a comic is great. Your criteria is what You use for your subjective determination. Just because in your criteria public fame and accolades are important doesn't make your opinion more valid. As with all art my opinion of the art is most important to ME. lol

Art is for each individual's personal enjoyment. Everyone gets to experience it in their own way. For me and my appreciation of stand-up comedic art Dave Chapelle is an average black comedian. I can name at least 10 black comedians I would rather go to see than Dave Chapelle. His shit get's chuckles not rolling on the floor in stitches. I have IN PERSON seen Corey Holcomb multiple occaisions and literally cried laughing the entire show. He is that funny.

And stop with the BS. Dave Chapelles biggest claim to fame is his TV show. Aint' shit else he ever did got as much popularity as that show. They still talking about the Rick James skit to this day. To say people don't go to his shows because of the Chapelle show is silly. Can you name any stand up performance or even joke that was even memorable from any of his Netflix shit. Nothing he did in stand-up has been socially significant.

Chapelle has critically acclaimed sketch show, critically acclaimed stand up specials spanning 20 years, critically acclaimed opening monologues, mark twain award, soldout arenas, internationally famous and booked, record number of Netflix standups and payments.. Meanwhile, Corey still works the chitlin circuit and has a podcast he filmd out of a storage unit. You have lost you fucking mind.

You started off great here but ended with a massive turd. Reducing Dave to a "average Black comedian" when Corey plays down to every negative stereotype of just that has to be some of the most dishonest or idiotic analysis ever.
And stop with the BS. Dave Chapelles biggest claim to fame is his TV show. Aint' shit else he ever did got as much popularity as that show. They still talking about the Rick James skit to this day. To say people don't go to his shows because of the Chapelle show is silly.
I never said what his biggest claim to fame was. I said his current popularity, success and relevance has nothing to do with the show and everything to do with the quality of his current work. Not sure how thats a controversial comment.
Nothing he did in stand-up has been socially significant.
Another idiotic conclusion thats literally the opposite of the actual reality. His specials are literally filled with current social and cultural issues and concerns.. He was the first to openly attack and question the trans agenda, he did an entire fucking special on George Floyd, he essentially did two mini specials on SNL each time Trump was elected... he constantly tackles white fragility , racism and hypocrisy in his comedy... Meanwhile, Corey hosts a podcast where he calls Black women funky bitches and accuses every one of his more successful peers of being homosexual. :lol:

Lmao @ niggas acting like Dave is Bernie Mac

Bernie has the better movies, standups, tv show and longevity from almost dying 3 decades ago

Killing me softly was a standup that people forced themselves to watch because it was Dave and he had ZERO outlet.

Dav being saved by Netflix was like the GAME show being saved by BET. It was a proper move to get eyeballs. Netflix was in hot water with the Monqiue situation AND SHES A GOT DAMN OSCAR WINNING ACTRESS.

Shit if u ask me Kennan Thompson has done a wonderful job on SNL and he found his lane.

He definitely came up from better shows than TCS featuring the word nigga. That was the only reason it was hot. BET banned the word nigga and so did mtv. CC did him a solid with neal heading all creative direction.

Dave chimped out in 2005 when they put a real offer on the table and he needed to “think” about it.


That was still the greatest fumble of money I have ever seen.

2nd was Nerlens thinking he was better than $80 million and settled for a 4.5 million dollar contract.

Lets refrain from even mentioning Bernie to avoid any perceived disrespect to the man. He was a great standup that worked the chitlin circuit and finally made it thru talent and hardwork in his 40s. Mac got his ONLY big network standup show in the late 90s in his 40s.. Dave was a fucking prodigy as a teen, had huge network specials and sitcom offers and created arguably the best sketch comedy show ever all before 30. And is considered the best to ever do it by general consensus today. Lets stop the bullshit.

Yawl acting like Dave is Chris Tucker

Iconic movie franchise lead

Featured in 2 trilogy’s

Made 20+ mill a movie in the fucking 90s

“Retired” and then came back to dominate the box office again with RH3. Micheal Jackson’s best friend.

Chris Tucker is what Dave strived to be, but couldn’t execute it.

He’s from the man’s hometown. You gotta cut folks some slack. And that comedic prodigy stuff is crazy corny. I get the point of building the myth but come on.

Cory stay hatin, I thought the reason for doing standup is to work on your act and see what works and doesn't work. So bombing is part of the game and it depends on the crowd like a mf. But to say he be bombing like a mf and not provide that context is why I say he hatin. You have to put in that work and not be afraid of bombing because it's part of the game of comedy.

Iconic comedian > blockbuster actor

Chris Tucker didn't write his movie scripts, Chappelle deserves every ounce of credit for his specials.

You sure are sensitive about death. I agree Bernie Mac was a great but nothing wrong with critiquing him, it's no worse in 2025 than it would have been in 2005.
Compared to Dave I dissapeared into Africa after couldn’t do it anymore?

He was burned out and u guys have 10000 excuses for it

“he was tired,”

“Too many white ppl was laughing”

“It was a bad deal”

Man foh

Neal wrote that whole show and had a menstrual friend to play out his fantasy’s and he got a green light to use the word nigga

Bamboozled who also stars a iconic comedian played Dave Chappelle life out completely

That entire movie was about Dave and TCS(featuring the word nigga)
