    Wow. This is a really good special released in a unique way where he discusses the George Floyd murder while mostly being serious and thinking about how human consciousness works. Impressive set.

    I thought he was smart, then he started talking about taking up guns. Idiocy.

    Dave Chapelle shall forever be praised for taking a stand against the Alphabet Facists. Hail uncle Dave!

    This is more of a commentary on the current political and social climate than a typical comedy special, but it’s interesting, poignant, entertaining and somehow still funny.

    “8:46” is most impactful if received as a workshop.

    Even Chappelle admits near the end: “This is not funny at all.” But it needed to be said. And this could only be said by Chappelle.

    This set is uncomfortable only in intentional ways. ... In its own eerie vacuum, 8:46, however one wants to define it, is a fascinating snapshot of the moment.
