Dave Chappelle on Why Eddie Murphy Doesn’t Do Stand-Up

Eddie is the GOAT

I love that analogy. "I don't get mad at a photograph because it wasn't taken today." Judge things in the context and when they were made. I don't care if it's a joke, an old movie, a cartoon, whatever. All the more when it comes to comedy. It's a reflection of the time.

Listen to some old Pryor comedy, that's dated, hilarious, and completely inappropriate for today. Political correctness is an infection. It's taking away history.

Man I was lucky enough to watch Eddie Murphy and just enjoy the comedy.. Before all this tedious shit

Born in '62. I have no worry about being cancelled. I live as I was raised to be Freedom

Eddie’s bit about Mr. T as a gay guy still slays me.

Some brilliant stuff in this exchange. The line Dave says about being mad at the photograph because it wasn’t taken today is something the wokesters need to come to terms with.

The use of the word faggot, and the gay jokes Eddie used to say, they were for that time. We used to laugh about his Mr. T joke being gay, it was a joke. And I can understand why the feels embarrassed about them.

Eddie Murphy was brilliant. And I would still pay to see his stuff today. To hell with the wussies and weirds.

@tadepen Chapelle is very intelligent. Deep.

A small minority control what people can say or not say now. It’s sad. Just speak your truth.

Bring it ALL back, nobody's off limits. MALA! (Make America laugh again)

I loved Eddie but you can tell he's imprisoned by his own ego and I insecurities I doubt he'll ever do stand up again

Raw and Delirious will never be dated.

Honestly, Eddie look like he gained a lot of weight to me

Eddie doesnt do stand up because hes not capable of it hes not funny idc what anyone says hes not capable of writing a full set his 90s special wasnt even that funny when you take away the black women laughing at every move he makes. He placated to the blacks and then ran away

Raw was meh, Delerious was a timeless masterpiece. Goonygoogoo

RIGHT......Times were different....You can not put your 2026 brain in 1492.......YOU FUCKING idiot....

No never. Kindness is a good thing, but political correctness is a disease,&far too many people are so chronically inflamed inside because of diet&toxins that their nervous systems are out of whack,&they get so hyper-offended over things they need to personally deal with&heal.

People grow up. Even Dave Chappelle himself is nothing like what he was when he was younger. He does stand up these days, but it's more conscious material. Eddie, to get back to the stage he would need to redefine himself and be 100% confident about his new material

Eddy has been a millionaire for over 30 years, he cannot relate to anybody, he cannot tell anything funny or relatable that he has experienced, that is why he does not do stand-up and why Dave is not funny at all anymore with his petulant and pretentious preacher speeches.

I don’t know when the conversation took place, but I can assure you Eddie was actually older than Fred and Grady when he said that. They were in their 40s. Eddie was 45, 20 years ago.

joe rogan is a bundle of sticks

Eddie took a piece from a few comedians but a major chunk from Richard Pryor. Dave was just a decade later but a major student of the game. All Goats in their own form

Eddie? Murphy? Bravo? Redskin, or foreskin?

He's a sell out bitch. Period. You know it and we know it!

This is a fake Dave

I love Eddie...and have loved Dave...but much respect was lost for those that went to Saudi Arabia.

Who the fuck thinks Joe Rogan is bright ? Witty ? Knowledgeable?

Elephant Graveyard...

Chappelle is so wickedly smart.

Why does joe DO stand up.

Good interview. Dave Chappelle has class.

Raw, literally, transcends time.
