Maybe you are asking too much from him? Maybe beyond his geniality, he found the boundaries for his creativity? Certainly, he stuck me as honest and authentic whether or not I agree with his stands. I don't, but I also disagree with the reactions.
Bottom line, it is comedy. It is not an ethics treaty or a political manifesto, it is quite bright comedy. I disagree with Oliver and Ryan, when they assess Chapelle's speech as thought it was something more than a stand up comedy act. Surely, it is a provocation and they fell for it. Ultimately, I disagree with them when they say that there is nothing funny about it.
