Dave Chappelle Slams Critics During Emmy Speech “Shut The F*ck Up Forever”

Dave Chappelle Tells Critics To “Shut The F*ck Up Forever” During Emmy Speech

Dave Chappelle is undoubtedly one of the greatest comedians of all time but his recent stand-up specials have been met with criticism. He is known for his satirical comedy sketch series Chappelle’s Show.

However, critics deemed the special offensive while fans were simply excited to hear Chappelle’s thoughts on an array of subjects.

Chapelle has been criticized for allegedly taking  low blows at sexual assault victims, the LGBTQ community, and more. Despite this, Chappelle just took home an Emmy for 2019’s Sticks & Stones.

During his acceptance speech, Chappelle made a concerted effort to address the naysayers who initially slammed his comedy special. And he didn’t mince his words, as you’d expect.

“Boy, comes as a complete surprise,” he said with a smirk on his face and a lit cigarette in his hand. “I mean, I read all the reviews and they said so many terrible things. They were embarrassed for me. I lost my way. It wasn’t even worth watching,” he continued.

“I hope all you critics learn from this. This is a teachable moment — shut the fuck up forever!” He was immediately met with a standing ovation from the audience.
