As Twitchy reported earlier, comedian Dave Chappelle made an offer to aggrieved Netflix employees: he’d meet with him on the terms that they actually watched his whole special and that they admit that purported comic Hannah Gadsby — who claims to want nothing to do with Chappelle — is not funny.
Feminist site Jezebel decided to come to Gadsby’s rescue, fact-checking Chappelle’s claim by noting the laughter at her show taping.

It's the worst comedy show I've watched so far.

Canned laughing isn’t the same as real laughter

You can't argue your way into making her funny.
— Koin Keepa (@NeverMTX) October 26, 2021
She’s literally not funny tho. At all. There are no jokes. The punchline is always “cis hetero white male!” In an angry voice
— gabbaghoul (@yespigeons) October 26, 2021
I didn’t hear much laughter during her “comedy” special. Just clapping at her constant derision and hatred towards men. They weren’t even in the form of jokes, it was just grievance lecturing.

Nobody ever said her fans didn't have lousy taste in comedy.

One of the "funniest" "jokes", I've ever heard:
"I don’t identify as transgender. But I’m clearly gender not-normal. I don’t think even lesbian is the right identity for me. I really don’t. I might as well come out now. I identify as tired. I’m just tired."

"Pardon me, can you direct me to the humor section?"

If you have to vigorously defend someone as funny, they probably aren’t that funny 🤷🏻♀️

Why are you being racist attacking a black man? You're invalidating his lived experiences.
— Matt Prime (@FoosRohYeet) October 26, 2021
It takes an article in Jezebel to argue that Gadsby is funny?
