Brace up.......2026 gonna be jollification. Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! It ain't bombs but prosperity!

larride:
He just wants to laugh man, not to be doing thesis on a joke.

DissTroy:
Then stick to your Sabinus and I Go Dye. Simple.

It's the same way I don't find them funny and find their comedy simpleton-esque.

Dave Chappelle is extremely funny and that's why he sells arenas and has more influence than even some politicians.

It's the same way many of us don't rate some of these musicians' works of art but some of you will sleep through a classic Bez Idakula or Jon Bellion album who are actual artistes with intelligible lyrics.

Some people only find intelligent jokes funny while some need clown acts to laugh.

And anyone who considers Dave Chappelle's jokes as theses is dûmb! Well, anyone easily excited by the most banal things is. If you consider intelligent jokes a bore, a bouncing tire will amuse you.

There's nothing funny about Dave Chappelle.

DissTroy:
He does skits. The first time I encountered him years ago, it was "yansh, yansh, yansh" so I muted his page. Millions of views but didn't excite me.

Then I recently happened on videos of him campaigning on issues like môléstation, genotype, and religious deception... They made more sense than he use to do and he's being taken more seriously. Certainly more seriously than Sabinus and his type.

Dezny might be the better example of very intelligently delivered observational satirical skits-making you're looking for.

But I was focusing on stand-up comedians.

Then ONLY stand-up comedian we have who can do anything close to the Michael Che and Trevor Noah is Bovi - intelligent, historically aware of global socio-politico-economics and does his research on issues.

The others are just "E get one guy for our area ehn", "Women get power o. My wife say...", "Halleluyah. We dey this industry 38 years... Kikiki". What the eff is that in 2025?!

Apple literally has guidelines published on how to request access to apple phones and the Cloud by the Government and law enforcement agencies: https://www.apple.com/privacy/government-information-requests/ .

If you think Apple doesn't share your details when required, I have two hectares of land at Banana Island at #350,000 to sell to you.


Also, Apple last month granted Google the right to infuse into its ecosystem to build Apple AI. If your iPhone uses AI, Google now has access. Apple AI is subcontracted to Google

Oh! You use Google Chrome and signed into your Google Account while accessing Facebook, X and WhatsApp, right? Bingo!

We are approaching the Singularity, man - everything is one thing.

Chapelle was insanely funny when he was doing comedy. If he ever decides to start doing comedy again, am sure he will be great. Recently he's more of a preacher and lecturer. He takes himself way too seriously and thinks he's some kind of philosopher.

DissTroy:
He didn't take himself too seriously - people gave him the crown.

And he's one of the few top comedians who roasts everyone. When it was unpopular to do so in 2016, he roasted Hillary Clinton and said Trump will win. Analytically dissected her and her husband and why the media deceives them.

And he roasts everyone - from Liberals to Conservatives to the "Alphabet-people" (he popularized that term) to Christians and Muslims (he's a Muslim but most people don't know) to everyone.

He was one of the first to say Jussie Smollett was lying about being attacked by MAGAts before the later was officially found out. Dave analyzed it scene by scene and how it would have been impossible for anyone wearing a MAGA hat to walk down streets of Chicago in 2019; not to mention two men wearing such hats. But he did so in an extremely funny way which had the audience rolling. Again, watch the clip or full standup from 2019.

Dave Chappelle has always been the same from his SNL days to back in 2004. Go watch on YouTube. His style is observational sociopolitical commentary. It has always been.

He's funny until he makes fun of issues or people you hold in high regard, but he trolls everyone, including himself. And even in your angst, you'd realize he's stating the facts in a way which makes people laugh and uneasy at the same time.

Bombblacks:
There's a reason conspiracy theorist are claiming Dave is cloned. You can't watch the old Chappelle and claim this current version is even funny. My issue with Chappelle nowadays is all of his material is framed around this idea that everyone is dying to hear what his perspective is and he is reluctantly giving it.

He should start a podcast if he wants to lecture.

Its not just Chappelle, kat Williams new stuffs are below expectations compared to then, bill etc Political correctness have ruined comedy to some extent.

DissTroy:
"Dave Chappelle use to be funny."

Dave Chappelle in 2004/2005 before he left $50 million on the table and took a hiatus because he didn't want to be beholden to any corporation or his jokes censored. The video was uploaded in 2014 but it's older than that.

Watch to the end then tell me if it's any different from Dave Chappelle of now. He's even more rounded now but still the same guy.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxhG3H2-EIE?si=aG0sXBKSndDNbKAi

His punchlines are always at the very end (you'll laugh at intervals though). It's called The Weave - round and round, then you realize every joke was interconnected all along; moving parts of the same engine.

DissTroy:
People who understand Dave Chappelle need to be historically aware in a gazillion ways, pick up cues, understand sarcasm, the ability to weave multiple talking points to land punchlines, and a thousand other literary terms.

If you want a jëstër, try Kevin Hart or the many happy-go-lucky "E get one guy for our area" comedians we parade in Nigeria here.

Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Carr, Trevor Noah, Josh Johnson, Michael Che... Even Bill Burr. These are solid observational comedians with philosophical takes who are exceptionally brilliant.
These are the ones I binge-watch on YouTube in picture-in-picture mode all day on PC while working or leisuring.

Nobody who enjoys such comedians would dabble with the simplistic Sabinus and the likes.

People who know and have such exquisite taste in social commentary will laugh at you for saying so.

I guess you won't sit through the 3-hour-per-episode almost bi-weekly Joe Rogan podcasts then, or the two-hour-long Trigonometry podcasts.

I find this video very thought provoking!!!! So crazy you still wonder if he’s being sarcastic. Social engineering is a thing and people have mastered the art!pic.twitter.com/SvR6T73tAC

This guy just unravel the thought process of Conspiracy theorists and content creators who piece one or two together to make news out of nothing.

iamoyindamola:
Nah
That is sarcasm in full play here
He knows he doesn't have any proof so he ended it in a twisted manner

Bimmarlykay:
Dis.stroy.

Apple won't share even when required like that.Government can only access third-party apps and its not Apple sharing it to them it the apps creator,

Apple requires concrete legal documents from the government; if Apple deemed them "not okay",they wouldn't release the data. It's exactly why the UK Government wants ADP and stuffs removed.

semid4lyfe:
I read about Dave Chappelle on this thread and next thing he's appearing on my TikTok FYP. The algorithm is...,..

BlueRayDick:
You have obviously set Ur TikTok app to "Allwo app to track online activities " when u set it up.

I don't know about Android, but on iOS if u install an app like TikTok or any other app, when u are stying it up if will will prompt you if u want to allow the app to track Ur online activities. If u allow, the app's algorithm can pick up Ur online activities and start suggesting similar interests to u the next time u open the app.

For apss like FB, IG and WhatsApp that have the same owners it's even worse. If u search something on IG, FB no go let u rest with suggestions about that same subject matter for the next few days

izzou:
Do these apps have access to your phone's microphone?

I was once on a call with someone, and the person mentioned a particular candy, and we laughed it off

The next thing I see is the ad of that same candy on Facebook immediately I ended the call.

What are the odds?

DissTroy:
It's the same "concrete legal documents" Meta asks to share your details with the Nigerian government.

Also, the US government has had warrantless surveillance in place for years.

If I didn't post the link I posted yesterday, would you have believed Meta is legally required to share details with government? Mark Zuckerberg will never post it on his page or Meta doing a public showing of it.

FBI boss admitting it is spying in 2019: https://www.voanews.com/a/fbi-chief-breaks-with-boss-on-use-of-term-spying-/4907405.html . How do you think it does that without tech companies sharing details?

Also, do check out the top VPNs most people use. If you dig through the layers, you find out they are tied to Israel and the US, and the security agencies of both countries. Don't take my word for it - find out.

Have a Messenger chat about harming a PØTÜS today and see if your account won't be flagged.

Even Meta has admitted WhatsApp now has openings to read messages and feature ads. That's a bad door.

And your apps have permissions, don't they? Your answer.

Even Elon Musk three weeks ago on the Joe Rogan podcast said, it'd be stupîd if his messages aren't being read already. Elon Musk uses iPhones.

Everything has a backdoor.

Your company's web developer can read your emails from the CPanel... without your password, even.

Bimmarlay, also read this Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/sep/22/ice-palantir-data#:~:text=Another%20told%20Ice%20agents%20they,to%20a%20request%20for%20comment.

Towards the media in purple highlight you will see this: "Another told Ice agents they could enhance their investigations by using phone numbers or names extracted from phones the agents unlocked using technology from Cellebrite, an Israeli forensic software company that has had a contract with ICE since 2019."

ICE agents unlocked with an Israeli software. Phones and gadgets including Apple products.

Everything has a backdoor.

Point is, the day you became a Person of Interest in on certain radars, your IPhone login will be given out in seconds.
