Dave Chappelle joked about Charlie Kirk. People are commenting on the punchline. Today’s show breaks it down.

“I think there has been a horrible response from the left and the right on this,” Crowder said. “My rule is to not comment on something if there is no context,” adding that, “I do think it is important to look at the reaction because before he gets to any punchline, you have people in the audience laughing. That is what's most concerning to me -- people laughing just at the idea of death because they disagree with them politically."

Crowder added, “There are many comedians that joke about death, that joke about assassinations, and they don't mean it. The audience laughs and cheers at the setup. That is concerning to me because many people on the left would be glad and gleeful if you died.”

This was arguably a trap to bait conservatives into cancel culture.

“He knew what he was doing, and he was hoping for this reaction,” Crowder said. “The idea that someone would celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk is horrible, but comedy is different.”

This is because sometimes things are said that are not intended to be taken literally. This is also why it would be unsurprising if he were to now accuse Conservatives of being hypocritical on Free Speech.

“So if you see a trap, and you are aware of a trap, you better approach it more thoughtfully than simply walking into the trap. And a bunch of non-comedians calling this disgusting and awful, effectively engaging in outrage culture -- when has that ever worked with a comedian? Because we can list every time it has backfired,” Crowder said.

None of this negates the point that the left would shed no tears if you were to be harmed.

“People were immediately sharing a setup, not the full bit. There is still a lot missing, and we do not know how the entire bit goes,” Crowder said. “If you do this, those on the right, you are going to lose comedians.”
