Anyoone catch the new Chapelle special after the Paul v Joshua fight last night?

I need to go back and watch it again, but my initial impression wasn’t great.

I tried to watch it last night, and I kept falling asleep. I wasn’t especially tired. I flat out couldn’t get through it. Maybe he’s jumped the shark Sometimes a band you really like puts out an uninteresting album. Maybe it’s that.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 yeah. I felt the same way. Kinda felt like the special was just slapped together on the quick.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle On the flip side I’m really enjoying the new Robby Hoffman special…Wake Up. It was directed by John Mulaney.

[Matt]

I scrolled past… is it good?

[Jett129]

@Matt I thought it was really great. New meaning to edgy. I think I’m pretty hard on comedians and I thought she was brilliant. Raunchy without being vulgar. Let me know what you think.

I can’t believe no one upvoted this. I thought it was hilarious.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I upvoted now because there’s layers to this joke

[sabergirl]

I will admit, I don’t get it

[Tago Mago]

@sabergirl Oedipus‘ mother is called Jokasta

[sabergirl]

Aha! I had forgotten that. Thanks

[Matt]

I brake for Joe Mama jokes.

[Matt]

Even without the Jocasta it works as a Joe Mama joke.

Who the f knows that?

[Tago Mago]

@steelworker 5 years Ancient Greek at school, including for finals. I translated Oedipus by Sophokles in class

@ARNC we have complained to the BBC and tried to take it upstairs, but the lifts don’t work.

Brilliant.

[ARNC]

@NickD and that’s probably the only line that’s safe to mention on here!

[NickD]

@ARNC I picked it carefully.

Im sorry you were subjected to this treatment.
. Five years seems an excessive sentence.
However Im not surprised you know this.
Im surprised @matt knows this and knows it well enough to pun. In Greek.
And you call yourself an American.
For shame, Matt! For shame!
Or Shane. Either way.

@steelworker et tu, brute.

@steelworker Ancient Greek was the fun part. 7 years Latin for good measure, grades 5-11. one for @Matt: quod licet iovi, non licet bovi
