    Weird coming from a guy who basically played a transgender person in the Hot Chick and also is a stapler.

      Imagine starring in a movie where your character is desperately trying to explain to loved ones that they’re trapped in the wrong body and don’t understand how to navigate this gender that they find themselves in and then come out in the other side being transgender. Like, he’s so media illiterate that he doesn’t empathize with his own characters. So then it was just hateful jokes the whole time, I guess. Dude stopped maturing at like 15.

    dude isn’t even funny in the first place. he can’t do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn’t a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.

      Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful? I didn’t follow him because I don’t find his jokes funny, it’s mostly complaints or trash talk.

        He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren’t generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it’s bad.

        His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.

        Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:

        • Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.

        • And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!

        • If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.

        • trans-bitch from the picture.

        • A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.

        • I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.

        • “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.

        • Gender is a fact.

        • Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?

        • I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

        And here’s what the actual goat comedian who had a lasting impact in the industry beyond a mediocre skit series in late 90s Comedy Central and one movie might retort to Chappelle

                Do you think trans people think those jokes are not that bad?

                It seems more like you don’t care that they’re hurtful.

                I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else

                Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”

                  Especially when the people who watched it criticized it.

                  Of course, some people posting refuse to even believe that.

            That was… The point though? He thinks trans women aren’t women. That was like a full third of the show’s transcript, and I even left some off

            So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?

            I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people

            Or something

            Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess

      I went to see Rob Schneider perform comedy round 2015. Tickets were free for a Saturday night. It was at 80% capacity, which is unusual since it’s always sold out.

      He was pretty rough and attempted to be edgy. He already had gay jokes and there was polite laughter, but nothing compared to the professional comedians who opened for him.

      Honestly I thought he’d quit after a few years.

      They mentioned they were anti-trans and anti-vax. They didn’t repeat them because there is no need to repeat offensive jokes. I’m sure there are Rob Schneider routines on YouTube if you’re curious.

          Again, I am sure there are Rob Schnieder routines on YouTube if you’re curious and I doubt he made trans and vaccine jokes just this one time. Why do you need to know the specific jokes he made? Why isn’t the fact that the audience booed the organization gave a sincere apology enough evidence for you that his jokes offended a bunch of people and were not appropriate for the venue?

              Yet again, you can search for him on YouTube. I have no idea why you need to know whether or not you would be offended by his jokes when you weren’t even there.

    Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It’s an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can’t write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.

    Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you’ve been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.

    It’s just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.

      He’s been a conservative hack for a while (and he’s been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I’m glad this crowd didn’t let him stay comfortable.

        Not even necessarily more visibility, go back 20 years and this kind of stuff was popular. Go back another 5 years and anti-gay humour was also still popular. It wasn’t even considered anti-gay because anti-gay was the default option, so it would have just been called “gay jokes”.

        Though it makes me wonder what is considered normal today that will be seen as problematic in a decade and popularly opposed in two.

      He’s been on this tip for a long while, supporting Ron Paul and being anti-vax. Last Week Tonight did an episode on Vaccines, and he shows up in a no longer valid comparison of RFK Jr on the left, Alex Jones wherever he fits in, and even this guy. I remember him also calling for Ron Paul 2012, but doesn’t seem to be from this one, so hopefully I’m remembering that right.

      Still, he’s been libertarian and antivax for a long time, and those communities have been heavily aimed at by fascists for recruitment.

    At first I was sad reading that an actor I liked turned out to be a bigot, but then I realized I was confusing this dipshit with Roy Scheider and felt better.
