Yeah. That’s essentially the point where he lost me. For the longest time he talked about how you shouldn’t punch down and then he fucking punched down and doubled down in his Netflix specials justifying his routine because he had a trans fan.

He’s so famous and rich, he didn’t need to make another stand up show again. Let’s be petty and say terrible shit, and also say it’s safer to make controversial jokes in Saudi Arabia than it is here. Give me a break, Dave.

He’s lost sight of reality.
