    He is by far the worst thing about it. Although Mark Strong weeping while getting a handjob from a prostitute might have been the overall low point for the series.

     

    I didn't ever need to see Mark Strong in a boxing ring. Even for a TV show, he is....dreadful.

    Mitchell at one point went for the hot-tag on Bryan, to get his opinion on the HHH/Grantland incident, but BIG DAVE cut him off quickly and BURIED Bryan's opinion. So, basically, Bryan sat around while the grown-ups talked to each other for 90 minutes.

    Too bad this wasn't a free show.

     

    Sounds like Dave pulled a HHH.

     

     

    He had a reason to do it. Bryan went with the old "maybe he mixed things up" argument.

    Dave Chappelle: Stil Crazy After All These Years

    You're maybe the only person I've seen reference that Chappelle didn't want his work to be loved by people he didn't think were smart enough for it. It completely contradicts just about everything that has been said up until this point. And maybe at some point recently Dave has started spinning this tale, but it's about as much bullshit as his conspiracy theory about Hollywood having a fetish with putting black men in women's clothing to emasculate them.

     

    Many of the older, black comedians feel that way though. Maybe it's just a coincidence that the black comics who believe that actually support Dave's decision to walk away while the others with 1/10th the talent talk about they would have done this and that. Maronzio Vance (best known now as the Miller Light commercial guy) always tells the story of the time Katt Williams verbally eviscerated Brandon T.Jackson backstage at a show for supporting Martin Lawrence for wearing a dress. Then, Kevin Hart goes on SNL, puts on a dress, and a certain fraternity of black comics come down on him. You can chalk it up as homophobia, jealousy, bitterness, but I feel there is some credence to that theory. I would feel different if it was young comics with that belief, but not when it is comics that have been doing it for fifteen and twenty years.

     

     

    I will say this, I think Dave bringing this theory to light is on the weird side, but I do raise a suspicious eye to the number of male black actors who wear dresses.

     

     

    It's not something that (when a person brings it up) comics who don't like it are very mum about. They tend to be very vocal about it. Dave has done some bizarre shit, but I don't personally believe that goes on the list. He was just saying how several people feel about that particular aspect of the industry.
